Could AJ Brown be angling his way out of Philadelphia?

It has been a somewhat shockingly quiet offseason for AJ Brown, but that all changed this week after the Philadelphia Eagles wideout spoke out about his love for Tom Brady amid reports that the New England Patriots wanted him.

Brown changed his profile pictures on Instagram and X to a photo of New England Patriots legendary quarterback Tom Brady. Then, he addressed the profile change in a separate post that he would later delete.

“TB12 is my favorite player ever,” Brown posted on X on Thursday afternoon. “I watch the dynasty and it brought back some memories from my childhood. Go look up what he did in 2015 when he was doubted/disrespected. Yeah I see the disrespect. Motivated … yes. That’s it.

“I did not think changing my pfp (profile picture) to the greatest ever would cause controversy. Take Care.”

 

Fans quickly took to the comments and quotes to respond to this turn of events:

Soon after AJ Brown changed his profile picture, a social media user by the name of “Sports Fellow” went through the accounts Brown follows and uncovered Brown recently followed Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver K.J. Osborn.

On Thursday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported that several teams around the league are interested in AJ Brown, but Philadelphia has shut down any inquiries on him.

“Philadelphia has gotten inquiries on A.J. Brown and they have shut them all down and told other teams he is not available,” Breer said.

Breer further added that the New England Patriots were among the teams that inquired about the veteran receiver.
