Eagles GM Roseman Stands Firm on A.J. Brown, Denies Trade Talk
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman emphasized the importance of A.J. Brown to the team's success in the second half of the season, stating that it would be difficult for them to part ways with a player as valuable as Brown.
Roseman refused to comment on whether there were any trade offers made for Brown before the league deadline earlier this week, instead focusing on the significance of having him back from his recent hamstring injury. The team is counting on Brown's return to boost their chances in their quest for a Super Bowl repeat.
When questioned about Brown's status within the organization, Roseman made it clear that the receiver is an integral part of the team, using Brown's leadership role as captain as evidence. "I think when you're trying to be a great team, it's hard to trade great players... You just don't get rid of guys like that," Roseman said.
Brown has been a crucial component of the Eagles' passing game since his arrival in 2022 and played a pivotal role in their Super Bowl-winning season last year. However, this season has seen stretches where Brown struggled to find consistency, leading some to speculate about internal issues within the team.
Despite these concerns, Roseman reaffirmed the importance of having Brown on the roster, saying that the team feels "lucky" to have him and is excited for the second half of the season with him. With Brown expected to return from his injury in time for their Week 10 matchup against the Packers, it appears that he will continue to be a key player in the Eagles' quest for success.
The team's commitment to keeping Brown has been consistent throughout the season, with players and coaches consistently praising his value to the operation. While some have speculated about internal issues, Roseman's comments suggest that any concerns can be put to rest โ for now.
