Stunning A.J. Brown report confirms what all Eagles fans suspected in 2025

Well, most Philadelphia Eagles fans knew that wide receiver A.J. Brown was not happy in Philly, and he made that blatantly obvious, but now a new report confirms what fans deep down knew might have happened.

Brown is coming off the worst season of his Eagles career, as he got 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns. It was the first time since joining the Eagles that he was not selected to the Pro Bowl or the All-Pro team.

Apparently, according to Bleeding Green Nation's Joseph Santoliquito, the situation was worse than Eagles fans thought, as Brown reportedly asked to be traded multiple times throughout the season. Santoliquito added that Brown asked for a trade as early as after the Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

A.J. Brown asked to be traded multiple times throughout the season

It was clear from the beginning of the season that Brown was not happy in Philly. He was not getting the targets he was getting and was frustrated with how Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo was calling the plays.

For the Eagles, it would be way too financially hard for them to trade Brown unless he was willing to work something out with the team or with whoever his next team is. The dead cap hit it would have on the Eagles (roughly $72 million in 2026) would be too much for the team to handle.

Even though the report might be surprising to read, it really isn't too much of a surprise. The cryptic tweets and comments on the stream made it clear that Brown was never happy and wanted a way out of Philly.

This certainly does not help with the trade speculation surrounding Brown, as it will only further intensify it. Whether the Eagles and Roseman will actually do it is another question, as he didn't exactly rule it out at his end-of-year press conference. With Roseman, everything is on the table.
