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.

. If he can't work with Jalen Hurts, then maybe the team should consider making a change. But at the same time, they've invested so much in him, it's hard to just cut ties... I think it's all about what the Eagles want for their future and if Brown is still on board 
.
It's like history is repeating itself, but this time with a whole new cast of characters.
. He deserves better than what he's getting in Philly.
. That dude's got some serious baggage when it comes to the Eagles, and it's only fitting that he'd come back to haunt 'em in a big way.
. I'm rooting for Brown to get out of this mess and find success elsewhere, but at the same time, it's hard not to feel a little bit bad for him 
.
. I mean, can't we just focus on the game for once? It's like he's playing a different sport out there 
. First of all, if he wants to be traded that bad, why didn't he just say something in the first place? And now the team is trying to downplay it, but I'm not buying it 
.
. Give me a break. It sounds like they're just trying to save face. And if Gannon joins the Cowboys as DC, that's just going to add fuel to the fire 
. I'm so tired of all these egos and drama in the NFL 
. I mean, come on Howie, if you're gonna say you don't want to trade him, at least have the decency to make it stick? It's like playing a game of "I'm keeping him" and then suddenly "oh nope, gotta get rid of him"... 
I guess that's what happens when you try to be the voice of reason on a team full of drama queens... 
. But seriously, can we just get some clarity on Brown's future already? The uncertainty is starting to drive me nuts 
.
. One thing's for sure, though: the playoffs can't come soon enough - it'll be interesting to see how this drama plays out 
.
Anyway, if Gannon ends up as the Cowboys' DC, that's a bummer for Philly. He left them on his own team, you know? 
But Brown's situation's still got me puzzled... will he stay or go? Only time'll tell, I guess 
, and the team doesn't seem like they're doing much to address his concerns. Roseman says all this hot air about not wanting to trade him, but if Brown's gotta ask to be traded, it sounds like he might actually want out 
.
. If they can't keep him happy, how's that gonna work out? I'm hoping they figure some stuff out, but at this point, it just seems like there's too much tension between Brown and Hurts 
.
. I'm not sure if Jalen Hurts is being completely honest about their dynamic 
. He's got the experience and the connection with Sirianni that would be huge for this team 
. And as for Gannon, yeah, his past behavior in Philly has left some bad taste 
. If he joins the Cowboys, it'll be interesting to see how the Eagles handle it 
. I'm genuinely worried about A.J. Brown's future with the team... his frustration is real and it's starting to boil over 
. Parker's interview for DBs coach tho! What do you guys think? Should Eagles try to keep Brown or cut ties altogether?
. personally, i think the eagles should just cut their losses and move on 
. I mean, he left the Eagles high and dry after promising to stay, and now he's going to turn that heel turn on Philly and get all the attention in Dallas? 
. We can't keep speculating about what's going on behind the scenes all day long... or can we? 
Either way, I'll be eating up the drama like it's popcorn 
i mean, howie roseman said he didn't wanna trade him but idk if that's true or not 
It feels like they're stringing him along. And don't even get me started on Howie Roseman... if he says he doesn't want to trade Brown, why else is he having these secret chats with Lurie?
