The 2025 season has been a difficult one for the Philadelphia Eagles, as the defending Super Bowl champs were eliminated from the playoffs after a 23-19 loss against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wildcard round. Now, with their offseason starting, the Eagles GM Howie Roseman has made many major decisions, including taking a call on the future of star receiver A.J. Brown, who has butted heads with the coaching staff throughout the year.

Hence, when asked about his WR1, Roseman issued a cryptic response about whether the team is planning to part ways with Brown.

“It’s hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J.’s a great player,” Roseman said. “That’s what we’re going out and looking for when we go out in free agency and the Draft, is trying to find great players who love football, and he’s that guy. So that would be my answer.”

The 28-year-old joined the Eagles after a trade with the Tennessee Titans on the night of the 2022 NFL Draft and earned All-Pro honors during his first three seasons with the franchise, including winning Super Bowl LIX last year. But this year, things haven’t worked out for the former Ole Miss wideout, who showed his frustration by sharing cryptic social media posts in the early part of this season.

He declined to interact with the media in the latter stages of the year, coinciding with his on-field meeting with CEO Jeffrey Lurie in mid-November, when he promised he would stop complaining publicly. These tensions have led to speculation about a potential departure. Subsequently, his disappointing performance during the 23-19 NFC Wild Card Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers, with three catches for 25 yards and a pair of drops on seven targets, before getting into a heated argument with head coach Nick Sirianni, also fueled rumors about an exit.

However, Brown recorded 78 receptions for 1,003 yards, the lowest total of his Eagles tenure. But finished with seven touchdowns, the same total in each of the last three seasons, while being targeted 121 times, the third-lowest total during his time in Philadelphia.

While Howie Roseman appears to be in control of the A.J. Brown situation, he still needs to address the biggest issue that affected the Eagles this season, i.e., their offense. Philly fired Kevin Patullo and will be eyeing a new offensive coordinator through the offseason. Head coach Sirianni spoke about this search and highlighted the role of his QB1, Jalen Hurts, in this process.

After failing to get a chance to defend their Super Bowl title, Kevin Patullo took the fall after the Eagles ranked 24th in total yards per game (311) and 19th in points per game (19.3). These are extremely dismal numbers for an offense with stars like quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley, and wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Hence, as the franchise kicks off the search for its new offensive coordinator, Nick Sirianni spoke about whether Jalen Hurts’ perspective will be considered in the OC search.

“You’d be foolish not to use all your resources,” Nick Sirianni said, as reported by Brooks Kubena.
