A.J. Brown

Well, you can't say the Eagles aren't having a very exciting first night of the 2022 NFL Draft! After trading up to select Jordan Davis at No.

Oh, and in addition to trading for Brown, the Eagles signed the 24-year-old to a big contract extension: $100 million over four years with $57 million guaranteed. Measuring in at just over 6’0”, 226 pounds, Brown brings some much-needed physicality to the Eagles’ receiving corps. And that was hardly the first time they missed out on their guy this offseason. Brown also had five carries for 70 yards and one score. The Eagles really, really needed more help at wide receiver. In three seasons with Tennessee, he was targeted 295 times for 185 receptions, 2,995 yards (16.2 average), and 24 touchdowns.

LAS VEGAS -- The Tennessee Titans have traded former Ole Miss wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL ...

During his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans, Brown amassed 2,995 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. He also tallied the most 100-yard receiving games in Ole Miss history with 12. Russini reports that Brown did not attend voluntary workouts with the Titans this offseason due to tension with a desired contract extension.

Treylon Burks was a good pick, but he'll now be asked to replace one of the NFL's top young stars. No other way to say it. The Titans just got worse.

We’re not going to be able to keep every single player that we draft and develop.” What the Titans had been saying was not. The Titans’ trading Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles will be the splashiest headline from this draft. “We had discussions back and forth, and I really realized we got to a spot where it was going to be kind of hard to get a deal done,” Robinson said. Robinson said he “didn’t foresee” trading Brown a week ago. … We’re going to be here awhile. In Brown, a special player is leaving the Titans, one who doesn’t come along every day. This was a step back from contention. “And in doing that, that’s where those hard decisions and those tough discussions come in. “… At the end of the day, we have to make – I have to make – the hard decisions. It was a true bombshell, ringing throughout the team’s locker room. Certainly, the finances impact decisions, and trying to get value when we can.”

There wasn't much time to work out a contract, but now that Brown is here, he and DeVonta Smith should only help Jalen Hurts be better.

“I think when we trade for a player I think that’s one of the questions we try to answer ourselves and say why are they getting rid of him?” said Roseman. “…Obviously with all these players, contracts are a big issue. Obviously, they had to make a pick and get on the clock if we were to make this trade…This wasn’t like we had weeks to do, it really came about quickly here.” And this guy has shown in the NFL that he will win 1-on-1 matchups.” “If you can’t catch the ball, you can’t play – and this guy catches everything. “He’s one of the stronger receivers in the NFL,” the coach said. “It didn’t matter the receivers on the board for us, A.J. Brown was somebody that we had studied coming out and spent a lot of time on. “The trade was contingent on us getting an extension, so something we were working on during the course of the draft,” he said. He’s quick for a big guy, and he catches everything. Roseman estimated it took between picks 12 and 15 for it to be nailed down, a span of about 30 minutes. This for us was the right player, this was the right fit. I can’t tell you we were going to definitely draft a receiver in the first round. Roseman said the deal wasn't made because of a run on receivers that began with the Falcons at pick 8 when they took Drake London then Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Jameson Williams went at picks 9, 10, and 11.

It appears that the Titans moved on from Brown for the same reason other teams have moved on from star wideouts during the 2022 NFL offseason. Tennessee didn't ...

"THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. But I wish you all the best . Love" Brown will made out just fine in the trade. There had been murmurs that Brown and the Titans were having trouble negotiating a contract extension. Tennessee didn't want to pay Brown the money for which he was asking. The Titans then traded him when they saw an opportunity. He averaged 73 catches, 1,184 yards and nine touchdowns per 17 games played and established himself as one of the NFL's top young receivers.

Former Tennessee Titans star A.J. Brown tweeted, then deleted, a farewell to Titans fans following his trade to the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday.

"This is just another example of making tough decisions that hopefully in the long run is going to make our team better," Vrabel said Thursday in a news conference following the first round. "I know it probably doesn't get received by that publicly, but this was a difficult process to get through and I know what the gap we had to bridge was. "I love A.J. professionally, personally. THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. But I wish you all the best. "Tennessee I love you and you will forever be in my heart and I can say this now... "As long as I'm the coach here, I'd love to have A.J. Brown on my football team," Vrabel said later in the interview.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Titans began the NFL draft trying to make the best of a tough situation. The Titans wound up trading receiver A.J. ...

The 51st pick overall out of Mississippi in 2019, Brown had been the best receiver drafted by the franchise since the organization moved to Tennessee in 1997.

You'd have to go back to the 1991 NFL Draft to find a similar start to the first round to the one we just witnessed. For instance, in a recent two-round mock draft, CBS Sports NFL Draft expert Ryan Wilson had Strange coming off the board in the second round at No. 51 overall. It wasn't even just the draft community that was surprised by the pick. As we were still gaining all the information about the Hollywood Brown trade, a mammoth blockbuster deal came down that saw the Titans trade star receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 18 overall pick and a third-rounder. Back in the 1997 NFL Draft, Jim Druckenmiller was taken No. 26 overall by the San Francisco 49ers. If there was going to be a blockbuster trade involving a receiver, many pointed to it centering around the 49ers receiver as there had been rumors of discontent and a possible trade request for weeks. While his "slide" only lasted until the No. 12 overall pick, it was a surprising team that ultimately plucked him off the board. Throughout the pre-draft process, the talking point on Alabama receiver Jameson Williams was that -- when healthy -- he is the top player at his position in this class. Instead, Marquise Brown was the first domino to fall as the Ravens elected to trade him -- and a third-round pick -- to the Arizona Cardinals for the No. 23 overall selection. Not only did we get the typical drama of a draft, but we also had blockbuster trades thrown our way along with trends that we haven't seen in decades. Entering the draft, the NFL was waiting for the Deebo Samuel shoe to drop at some point. Naturally, the madness from free agency carried over into the opening round of the draft where there were a number of jaw-dropping moments.

Tennessee fans were unhappy with the trade news of their star receiver, to say the least.

On top of that, there were over 800 comments on the post, mostly from upset Titans fans. Then, there was actually more combined retweets as a little over 100 users retweeted the post and around 550 fans quote tweeted the details. In this case, the number of replies and quote tweets surpassed both.

The deal they offered wasn’t even $20 million a year,” Brown said. Brown says he never would have left Tennessee if the Titans were willing to pay him close to what the Eagles are paying him. The Titans traded wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Eagles on Thursday night, and Brown and the Eagles agreed to a new contract that averages $25 million a year.

One of the biggest surprises during the first round of the 2022 NFL draft last night was a blockbuster trade. The Tennessee Titans sent their star wide ...

The Tennessee Titans sent their star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles, who promptly agreed to a four-year, $100 million deal with their new WR1. While we believe Metcalf ultimately has more upside than Brown, this new contract with Philadelphia will likely be the template used for Metcalf’s representatives during their negotiations with Seattle’s front office whenever they begin. That’s big news for the Seattle Seahawks, who are set to give their own stud receiver an extension at some point this year.
