After a stunning wild-card loss, the Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown could demand a trade from the team after refusing to speak to reporters. Reportedly, the receiver gave handshakes to a few teammates on his way out of the locker room, which likely signals this is the last time he’s an Eagle. Brown has been upset and frustrated with the state of the Eagles’ offense and how they’re utilizing him in the aerial attack. After hauling in 25 receiving yards on three receptions, it’s understandable why the former first-round pick would want out.
A.J. Brown declined to speak to the media just now.
He gave handshakes to a handful of his teammates on his way out of the locker room and told a group of reporters he was “about to go.”

Eagles $96 Million Star AJ Brown “Refused” to Speak to Media; Likely to Demand a Trade to These Three Teams
Philadelphia enters this upcoming offseason with a lot of questions, but the major storyline for them is AJ Brown. The star still has three years left on his current deal that runs through 2029, so the Eagles will need to take a loss if the receiver requests a trade. After getting in a heated exchange with head coach Nick Siranni, the two had to be separated on the sidelines during the first half. Now, Brown doesn’t want to speak, and most likely the next time you hear or see him will be when he decides he wants to leave Philadelphia.
The 28-year-old is still one of the better weapons in today’s league. Brown still recorded 1,000 receiving yards on 73 receptions despite the issues between him and the Eagles’ offense. It will be an interesting offseason for Philadelphia, and here are three teams that will take advantage of this moment.
