The writing has seemingly been on the wall for A.J. Brown‘s future with the Philadelphia Eagles for a little while. The 2025 season was filled with nothing but frustration for the wide receiver, who never seemed happy and even got into it with head coach Nick Sirianni on a couple of occasions.

With a new OC coming in, that could provide more opportunities for the Eagles offense to succeed, with Brown playing a crucial role. But this week, Sirianni splashed some cold water on the notion of Brown staying in Philly.

“I can’t guarantee how anything’s going to play out into the next season. I can’t guarantee that, I mean, I’m thinking I’m going to be the head coach season, but it’s like, you can’t guarantee anything past tomorrow.“
While Sirianni awaits the front office’s decision on his wideout’s future, Brown is busy trying to help his fellow peers off the field.
