Breaking News: Nick Sirianni on A.J. Brown’s status: ‘Nothing’s changed there. A.J.’s an Eagle.’…see more
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman are in lockstep on how to approach questions regarding his status: stick to the present.
“Nothing’s changed there. A.J.’s an Eagle,” Sirianni said Monday at the Annual League Meeting when asked if he expects Brown at organized team activities, which begin next month. “Nothing has changed from the last time I spoke to you guys. That’s where we are.”
Roseman kept to a similar script on Sunday when talking to reporters. So far, Brown hasn’t gone anywhere, meaning he’s currently on track to play a fifth season in Philly, where he’s racked up four consecutive 1,000-yard receiving campaigns despite occasional disgruntlement.
A pre-June 1 trade would carry a dead money hit of $43.4 million, a logical deterrent to such a thing taking place in the early portion of the offseason.
However, the Eagles would only take on $16.4 million in dead money should they move the wide receiver after June 1, hence the continued intrigue.
