A.J. Brown Fires Off Five-Word Text to Patriots Amid Trade Rumors

Posted on by newssite

A.J. Brown isn’t sweating the trade buzz. As whispers swirl about the Philadelphia Eagles possibly shopping their star wideout, the 27-year-old dropped a cryptic bombshell Tuesday night. Sources tell ESPN that Brown texted a Patriots contact just five words: “Eagles is my home.” Boom—mic drop.

The rumor mill’s been churning since the offseason kicked off, with New England floated as a landing spot for the two-time All-Pro. Philly’s loaded roster and tight cap space—projected at $22 million for 2025—fueled speculation that Brown, with a $23.8 million cap hit, could be on the move. But the man himself? He’s not buying it.

Close associates say Brown’s stance is crystal clear: he’s not bolting Philly unless his teammates wave him off. “A.J.’s all in with the Eagles—he’s told people he’s staying until the locker room doesn’t need him anymore,” a source revealed. That loyalty’s no shock. Since arriving from Tennessee in 2022, Brown’s been Jalen Hurts’ go-to, racking up 1,496 yards and 11 TDs in 2024 en route to Super Bowl LIX glory.

The Patriots, meanwhile, are licking their chops for a WR1 to pair with rookie QB Drake Maye. Brown would’ve been a game-changer, but his text slams the door—for now. Philly fans exhaled on X, with one viral post screaming, “AJ ain’t leaving us—Eagles ‘til he’s done!”

Howie Roseman’s stayed mum, but Brown’s message might force his hand. Trading a fan-favorite after a title run? Risky business. The Eagles could still dangle him for a haul—think a first-rounder plus change—but Brown’s digging in his heels. “He loves this city, this team,” the source added. “Patriots can dream, but he’s not packing bags yet.” For now, the champ’s staying put—unless the brotherhood says otherwise.
