Wide receiver A.J. Brown will swap out his old Titans jersey for a new set of Eagles threads next season after he was traded during the first round of the 2022 NFL draft last Thursday.
Tennessee dealt the 24-year-old receiver after he requested a trade and Philadelphia footed the bill, sending back the No. 18 pick and a third-rounder. The Eagles also signed the 2020 Pro Bowler to a four-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $57 million guaranteed, making him the fourth-highest paid receiver in the NFL.
Prior to last Thursday it remained unclear where Brown would be traded, or if he would even be moved at all. However, the receiver had an important advocate in the Eagles locker room: quarterback Jalen Hurts.
