A.J. Brown's Future in Philadelphia Hangs in the Balance as Eagles' Pass Game Coordinator Takes Heat
The Eagles executive vice president of football operations, Howie Roseman, has sparked speculation about A.J. Brown's future with the team after a conversation with owner Jeffrey Lurie following a November practice. While Roseman claimed that he had no desire to trade Brown, it appears that feeling may not be mutual.
Brown has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the Eagles' passing game, and it seems that his frustration is starting to boil over. Sources have reported that Brown had "numerous times" asked to be traded, including as early as Week 3 of this season. Despite having a solid start to the season, Brown's production has slowed down in recent weeks.
The team has tried to downplay Brown's situation, with quarterback Jalen Hurts suggesting that he and Brown have talked and are in a "good, great place." However, it seems that there is still tension between them. Coach Nick Sirianni also defended Brown, stating that he has a special relationship with him and they've laughed together, cried together, and yelled at each other - all emotions that can happen in football.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys are moving forward with their defensive coordinator search. Two Eagles, former coach Jonathan Gannon and current DBs coach Christian Parker, have made it to the next round of interviews. Parker's background working under Sirianni makes him a prime candidate for the job.
The possibility of Gannon joining the Cowboys as their new DC would spice up an already intense NFC East rivalry. However, it's worth noting that Gannon has a history with the Eagles, having left them high and dry to take the Cardinals HC job after saying he was staying in Philly. If Gannon becomes the Cowboys' DC, it will be seen as a full heel turn for him in Philadelphia.
As the playoffs approach, there is still uncertainty surrounding Brown's future with the Eagles. Will the team be able to keep their star wideout, or will they have to make a move to get rid of him? Only time will tell.
