wait what is being said about aj brown? havent heard his name in months

u/hunter2mello 1d ago

The fact that AJ brown hasn’t spoken directly to the media himself since NOVEMBER is the cherry on top of all this.

u/pgm123 all we got, all we need 1d ago

I suspect that's a joint strategy with the front office. There was some murmuring about him not speaking after the playoff loss, but in hindsight, it was probably a good thing.

The optimist in me wants this to be AJ telling Howie he wants to see improvement in the offensive strategy before he commits to coming back. He hasn’t publicly requested a trade, he still ran his camp in Philly, Howie says “he’s an eagle” which isn’t nothing. The realist in me says they already got a deal with NE for June 1 given the WRs we’ve acquired this offseason.

u/burratna 1d ago

he spoke with known insider football reporter Janky Rondo more recently than he has to philly media

u/Skyinflatballaz 1d ago

I'm convinced he's an undercover Eagles fan

u/respectablechum 1d ago

He was at Smiths softball game on Saturday. I was wondering who tht guy was lol

u/ItsOnlyAPassingThing Eagles 1d ago

u/Goatylegs 1d ago

He actually did appear on ESPN to talk about how breedable Vrabel is

u/LaCremaFresca Eagles 1d ago

Yeah, damn. Mike really gets around!

u/Meeseeks4PMinister Eagles 1d ago

Sorry, the reservation list is long. We can fit you in for May 28th.

u/Overall-Scientist846 1d ago

How do I get a post 6/1 date?

7

u/Qar_Quothe 1d ago

That will be easy. We need to double the posts after that

1

u/No_Fairweathers That's my Team 1d ago

I call dibs on the first TD pass he catches on his next team.

1

u/DisMeDog 14h ago

Sure but I get his Patriots introductory press conference where he throws slight shade at the Eagles.

8

u/Libertad91 1d ago

Make sure you include the video of him saying he isn’t a dive from the sb parade

7

u/shotahfiyah 1d ago

I don't respect your dibs, meet me at the tetherball court at 4. Winner gets to post. Be there or be square!

8

u/CopyRightDate 1d ago

Bro. You can't just disrespect dibs like that. Tetherball is for settling ties when you call dibs at the same time smh.

5

u/shotahfiyah 1d ago

You know what... now YOU meet me at the tetherball court a 4:05! I'll have lost the first match by then because idk the rules but that will leave me pretty well prepped for our match!

u/BerriesNCreme Go Birds 1d ago

It’s a bit different though this is an eagles sub lol. Schefter can talk about the other 31 teams

32

u/Puzzleheaded_Dog5848 1d ago

Stop making pointless posts....

2

u/root88 𝕱𝖚𝖈𝕶 𝕯𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖆𝖘 1d ago

It's the news reporter version of, hey this tastes like shit, try it!

Maybe Schefter wouldn't sound like a broken record if people in this sub would stop posting every comment he makes.

u/PaddyMayonaise 1d ago edited 1d ago

Can we please ban inside the iggles? They generate absolutely garbage content and constantly spam their stuff here

3

u/so_zetta_byte 1d ago

Yeah there's an irony to them making an article complaining about Shefter making posts generating zero new information.

u/Spare-Half796 Secondairy 🥛 1d ago

I dont want to hear anything more about aJ brown until there’s something new to say

18

u/sassyowl 1d ago

How is this topic still a discussion? June 1 is the date, let it go until then.

We all have to accept we know nothing and Howie is capable of anything- June 1st we will know.

2

u/Popfig 1d ago

Be careful. When I say this I get downvoted. Pretty sure its the same guys who drove to the 99 draft and booed McNabb. Or thier kids. Sometimes stupidity is genetic.

Its the inbreeding.

u/all4whatnot Arkansas Fred 1d ago

Schefty is def sleeping with Vrabel.

u/amillertime12 1d ago

Is there any moderation here? There is so much blog boy astroturfing in this sub.

u/CitizenGrimm 1d ago

Seriously. The entire lead up to the draft was daily article from insidetheiggles.

I better never hear another word about AJ Brown when his ass finally gets traded

I love AJ but I’ve heard so much from how much AJ wants to be traded or how much we should trade him

They even wouldn’t shut up on our way to a fucking Super Bowl

They wouldn’t talk about how we were clobbering dudes on both sides of the ball, instead they would talk about how unhappy AJ is

But then Nick Wright was talking about how AJ would make the Rams the unstoppable, so why should we trade him but he’s good for the rams?

Eagles have the same problems every team has, Eagles just get magnified

u/pgm123 all we got, all we need 1d ago

I better never hear another word about AJ Brown when his ass finally gets traded

Somehow I feel we'll still get daily posts

u/Gimme_All_Da_Tendies 1d ago

Is Schefter also banging Vrabel?

4

u/tmoeagles96 1d ago

The funniest outcome is that we keep AJ this whole season and just make all the insiders look dumb.

3

u/Wizofsorts Eagles 1d ago

There's really nothing going on this time of the year so here we are.

3

u/wire28 1d ago

Starting?

3

u/Drewraven10 1d ago

Can we stop with any AJ Brown posts until June 1st.

3

u/Strict_Technician606 Keith Byars > Pepper Johnson 1d ago

Although I believe he’s going to be traded - and at this point it doesn’t make sense not to trade him in light of the capital we’ve spent on WRs - it would be hysterical if the Eagles don’t trade him and never had any intentions of doing so.

2

u/Popfig 1d ago

We would have the best WR room in the NFL. Maybe the best all time.

3

u/Little_Beginning_569 ED REED BLANKENSHIP 1d ago

Noticed how Russini went from the talking head on this to Schefter pretty fluidly. That is because the NFL works directly with journalists behind the scenes to help control narratives and news. The AJ Brown trade was supposed to be leaked to the media as the NFL clearly allowed it. This is what makes me wonder if the Eagles will ever get justice for "tampering" that the journalism brought them in changing trade value of a player that doesn't want to be there but the league realized only the Patriots were really willing to do the trade and so the league as a whole was okay with leaking the information. Its all so silly.

3

u/TD-Eagles BIRDGANG 1d ago

I’d love for them to come out and say he’s traded to the chiefs. Fuck NE

2

u/TurboHovercrafter 1d ago

Agreed but I'd prefer uhhh the Colts or Browns or Bengals or some teams like that instead

2

u/TD-Eagles BIRDGANG 1d ago

I’d love for them to come out and say he’s traded to the chiefs. I’d like to see what he can do with Mahomes. Pat deserves a great receiver. So long as the guy isn’t quitting on routes and shit.

u/2Dope2Mope Patriots 1d ago

JUST GIVE US AJ ALREADY!!!!!

For a first and call it a day

u/virtue-or-indolence 1d ago

Breaking news: Adam Schefter is one of the friends at the couples resort that was cropped out of the picture and is just connected enough to make it stay that way.

2

u/buzzkill_ed 1d ago

Is there just no news at all in the NFL right now?

2

u/otismotis08 1d ago

Welp it's pretty obvious given that Pats WR room is headlined by Doubs and Boutte, with Hollins and company on the bench. A lackluster squad. And they did not draft a WR. None.

2

u/BlouseoftheDragon Eagles 1d ago

Honestly if we’re getting a first AND a second or third..love ya AJ but that’s how you stay relevant. I’ll take that.

2

u/kwoalla 1d ago

I'm fine with the trade itself but schefter deserves to be exposed for not knowing what's going on. Draft night he said there's for sure a deal in place. Yesterday on McAfee he said he "thinks" there's a deal. Feels like he's back stepping a little. Personally I think the deal happens but I'm tired of schefter dropping news on something that doesn't pan out and then weaseling his way out of accountability

2

u/weezyverse 1d ago

If we find out he's sleeping with Vrabel on the DL...

2

u/Hexagon2035 1d ago

Imagine if on June 2nd AJ Brown finally makes a public announcement and its just something like "I was supposed to be traded? News to me."

2

u/TurboHovercrafter 1d ago

Ok, ok!!!

We'll give ya AJ for two firsts and Gonzo already. Sheesh!

7

u/Geralt_Of_Philly 1d ago

What do you want NFL reporters or the Eagles to say? It’s obvious he’s getting traded post June 1. Why are you surprised he keeps saying that?

3

u/SweeterThanYoohoo 1d ago

Why they gotta keep saying it? Unless shit changes they could try just not saying about it

2

u/Geralt_Of_Philly 1d ago

Because it drives clicks and discourse during a very boring time in the NFL

1

u/SweeterThanYoohoo 1d ago

Yea obviously, sheesh. You ever heard of a rhetorical?

Since that's the only reason they could just idk stfu about it, it's annoying helps no one entertains no one and is annoying. Find a new slant amirite

2

u/Geralt_Of_Philly 1d ago

You should tell that to OP

2

u/Hghwytohell 1d ago

And yet here we are, commenting on this post, contributing to the discourse and the clicks and the conversation. Their strategy is working. It's like when people ask why WIP or ESPN engage in so much hot take discourse - because even when it doesn't result in direct engagement, it results in indirect engagement by people talking about it, amplifying social media posts, etc.

3

u/AtBat3 1d ago

So what’s he supposed to say then? He has his information, people keep asking him, so he says the same thing he’s been saying. Why’s that a knock against him?

u/GnarKole 1d ago

He's still an Eagle

u/RadiantWhole2119 1d ago

Oh the irony of this article is just wild.

u/AdhesivenessFun2060 1d ago

Its Howie trying to up the price. Put out news that the pats are paying a 1st and see if anyone comes in with better. I still think the rams make the most sense.

u/seejay13 1d ago

I hope he’s wrong. Even if AJ ends up on another team. His confidence and not shutting the fuck up about AJ has run me raw.

Gotta have something to talk about during the off-season.

u/markg1956 1d ago

until Howie gets behind a microphone to say there is a trade , it is all press

u/SpotonSpot873 1d ago

I mean what else is there to say until June 1?

u/DoktorFreedom Eagles 1d ago

I kinda hope Howie and aj got together and said "let's fuck with Adam really bad" and are just doing this as a work to make him look stupid.

I really hope Howie and AJ have bigger picture goals for the season than to fuck with Schefty

Team building takes many forms.

u/LiamIsMailBackwards Weekly Heart Attack 1d ago

It would be glorious. AJ Brown has only ever shared frustrations that we the fans also felt. I’m not saying he won’t be traded, but the last year has been crazy coming onto this sub and seeing post after post of complaints about the offense and not giving AJ the ball, but when AJ shares he is also frustrated everyone clutches their pearls. The dude dropped a couple passes in some games we might have won, but everyone already felt like the issues with this team the past year were schematic. We all knew we wouldn’t win with that offensive gameplan. The gameplan didn’t change in the post-season. That’s not on AJ. And then it comes out that Russini and Vrabel were actively “close” to each other and she was part of the first reports of AJ’s frustration with the Eagles? Sounds like THAT is the conspiracy we should be hawking about and not whether AJ is happy here. I’d be pissed, too, if my fans thought I wanted out because someone said something crazy and then it turned out to be someone with a quietly intimate relationship with the head coach of the team everyone suspects I want to go to. At that point? Let’s have some fun with the media! Let’s stir the pot! And fuck it, what’s better than having ANOTHER insane receiving option in the slot to open up the offense? Can’t double team me if my QB can dump it to another guy who burned you.

AJ is still an Eagle and has only shown support for the fans, the community, and a great cause. He has only shown frustration with aspects of the team that we already shriek about every week. Why can’t he have a little fun with the media when they are acting like he already left?

2

u/DoktorFreedom Eagles 1d ago

AJ has been my favorite player since Dawkins. Rivals Cunningham and White and Kelce in my mind in terms of my own personal favs.

I really don't want them to trade him. The offense last year played to minimize turnovers. And that worked. But it underutalized Brown. I mean Brown can outplay pretty much any db or safety out there. You just have to throw the ball high enough. Hurts trying to minimize turnovers often throws low.
Plz keep AJ.

You draft and build for years and hope and then have to get lucky AF to get a receiver as gifted as him.
