UPDATE: A.J. Brown just confirmed his excitement about returning to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2026 season during a live appearance on Micah Parsons’ podcast. This marks Brown’s first public comments in two months following a disappointing end to the season, where the Eagles fell to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round.
Speaking from a venue near San Francisco, Brown emphasized his commitment to the Eagles, stating, “That’s home, man, and I love them.” His positive remarks come amid swirling trade rumors and speculation about his future with the team. Although Parsons did not probe into Brown’s previous trade requests, the wide receiver reiterated his dedication to improving and contributing to the Eagles’ success.
Brown’s sentiment signals a crucial moment for both him and the Eagles, who are in need of a strong offseason to rebound from last year’s playoff exit. “We just come back and really watch the tape and rediscover ourselves,” Brown noted, highlighting the importance of accountability and discipline moving forward.
The Eagles are also facing significant changes, including the recent hiring of Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator, replacing Kevin Patullo. When asked about the coaching shakeup, Brown expressed optimism, stating, “I’m excited for the season. I’m excited for what’s to come.”
Despite a rocky 2025 season where Brown finished with 1,003 yards—the 18th-most in the league—he remains focused on personal improvement. Reflecting on the team’s playoff loss, he acknowledged, “You have good days, you have bad days,” and expressed eagerness to get back to work and elevate his performance.
Additionally, Parsons revealed that he almost joined the Eagles himself before being traded to the Packers, underscoring the ongoing transformation within the Eagles’ roster. His desire to play alongside defensive star Jalen Carter was a pivotal factor in nixed trade discussions.
As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on the Eagles and their preparations for the upcoming season. A.J. Brown’s commitment is a promising sign for fans eager to see the team rebound from a challenging year. Stay tuned for more updates as the Eagles gear up for the 2026 season.
