A.J. Brown Is Reportedly Done With the Philadelphia Eagles

By ESPN Insider Reports — October 14, 2025

Philadelphia, PA – What began as whispers after the Eagles’ two-game skid has now turned into full-blown drama. According to multiple sources from ESPN, The Athletic, and NFL Network, A.J. Brown’s relationship with the Philadelphia Eagles has reached a breaking point, with insiders claiming the star wide receiver has told teammates he’s “emotionally done” with the organization — even if he’s still suiting up on Sundays.

The tension has been building for weeks. After back-to-back losses — a 34-17 meltdown to the Giants on Thursday Night Football and a late collapse to the Broncos — the Eagles’ offense has spiraled to

30th in the NFL, and frustration is boiling over. Brown, who signed a 4-year, $100 million deal in 2022, has just 28 receptions for 312 yards and two touchdowns

through seven games, less than half his production at this point last season.

The drama peaked when Brown posted a cryptic message on X after the Broncos loss: “We gotta get it right.”

Hours later, he doubled down in a post-game interview, saying he “just wants the ball more.” What followed was a closed-door meeting between Brown, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley — meant to clear the air over play-calling and target distribution. Instead, the meeting leaked, and chaos ensued.

Brown skipped media sessions, Barkley expressed anger over the leak, and Hurts tried to calm the storm, saying the focus needed to return to the team. But the damage was done. Local talk shows flamed the star receiver as a “diva WR,” echoing the infamous 2005 Terrell Owens–Donovan McNabb rift.

Despite the noise, Brown himself seemed to push back on that narrative days later, telling NBC Sports Philadelphia:

“I respect the way the Eagles build this team. I don’t need more targets — I just want to be part of the Philly fight. This organization is about brotherhood, grit, and heart, and I’m here to honor that legacy.”
