Nick Sirianni Makes Feelings Clear on Possibility of A.J. Brown Returning to Eagles

INDIANAPOLIS — Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni left little doubt about his desire to keep star wide receiver A.J. Brown in Philadelphia, telling reporters at the NFL Combine on Monday night that both he and Brown want the partnership to continue.

Speaking alongside general manager Howie Roseman, Sirianni praised Brown’s impact on and off the field. “A.J.’s a great player and A.J. is a good teammate and A.J. is a good person,” Sirianni said. “Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes.”

Despite the mutual affection, Sirianni stopped short of guaranteeing Brown’s roster spot for 2024. “Will A.J. be here next season? I think we’re still in a spot … I can’t guarantee how anything is going to play out,” he said, adding that even his own role as head coach isn’t certain beyond today. “You can’t guarantee anything past tomorrow.”

Roseman echoed the difficulty of replacing elite talent, noting, “It’s hard to get good players in this league,” while also acknowledging the front office’s responsibility to explore every avenue for roster improvement. “There’s very few things that I would shoot down without even hearing what that means, because how does it hurt to listen,” Roseman said.

The comments set the stage for what could be another spring of speculation surrounding Brown’s future. Philadelphia enters the draft cycle open to dialogue, ensuring trade rumors will linger until the April selection meeting.
