A Tale of Two Careers: The Insider Speaks Out on Howie Roseman’s ‘Trade of the Century’

PHILADELPHIA 
AJ Brown’s career with the Philadelphia Eagles has become the gold standard for bold front-office moves—and as the conversation reignites around the blockbuster 2022 trade with the Tennessee Titans, it’s Brown himself who sets the record straight about value, expectations, and the reality of the NFL.

The much-analyzed deal that brought Brown to Midnight Green—at the cost of a first-round pick (which became Treylon Burks)—is now universally viewed as one of the most lopsided trades in recent memory. While Brown has turned the Eagles’ offense into one of the NFL’s most dangerous, Burks was recently waived by the Titans, never delivering on his draft-day hype.

Asked about the deal, Brown didn’t dodge the hard truth of the league:
“Honestly, it’s tough to see how things turned out, but that’s just the business - if you can’t perform, you get replaced. For me, every single snap, every catch, I give my all for the Eagles, for that Super Bowl dream and to never let down Howie Roseman, who believed in me from day one.”

The Weight of Expectation—and a Commitment to Philadelphia

Brown hasn’t just carried the team with his on-field production; he’s become a tone-setter in the locker room, perfectly embodying what Philly fans love: grit, honesty, and relentless drive. He’s quick to remind everyone: there’s no room in this city for those who can’t take the heat—here, it’s all about fighting and winning.

Brown’s success with the Eagles is also a testament to Howie Roseman’s vision. By never hesitating to make big moves for proven competitors, Roseman has helped build a Super Bowl-caliber roster. In just two seasons, Brown has helped lead Philly to two Super Bowl appearances and shattered multiple personal records—a return on investment that any team would envy.

Philadelphia: Where “Warriors” Get Their Moment

With his emphatic statement and relentless performances, AJ Brown has proven to be one of the greatest trade acquisitions in recent NFL history. His journey in Philadelphia is far from over, and every time he steps on the field, he reminds Eagles fans: “In this city, it’s about heart, hunger, and the unwavering belief that we will win.”

The Eagles have won big with this trade—and with AJ Brown, the quest for more championships is just getting started.
