It’s a move that was mostly unexpected, but was immediately celebrated. Brown is the big receiver the Eagles’s attack needed, and along with DeVonta Smith, he will pose a big problem for the defense this season (and possibly three more seasons thereafter).
There is no doubt that AJ Brown’s trade was well received by his new teammates.
Mane, I’m very excited

We have AJ Brown and Jordan Davis. Plus the Sixers won. Today has been a wonderful day for Philly Sports!

The move was also celebrated by analysts.
Jon Robinson said the AJ Brown deal was a tough decision to take in the last 18 hours and really warmed up this afternoon. They felt that they had reached a point where it would be very difficult to reach an agreement. # Titans.

AJ Brown was @PFF’s 4th highest rated WR in 2021, 4th in 2020 and 13th in 2019.
His ranking in yards per route ran in those years: 5th in 2021, 2nd in 2020, 5th in 2019. # Eagles

The Eagles converted Carson Wentz into an extra first-round pick and then converted an extra first-round pick into AJ Brown.
There were other tracks and moves involved, but it wasn’t bad in the end for Philly.
