Last thing:
Now we know AJ was moaning to Vrabel all season long, who was pounding Russini, who then deliberately kept saying Eagles were only getting a 2nd for him publicly.
They were tampering all along and AJ fed them stories to get him out of there 🤷♂️
Sad stuff.
#Eagles
@phlknowitall@JacksonDji34856@thomasrp93 I’m not claiming to know anything. To the contrary you are.
I’m making observations based on what has been in the public eye for years. Also let’s not talk about unearned hubris. Mister inside info over there.
@phlknowitall@JacksonDji34856@thomasrp93 Funny I’m old enough to remember him wanting out for two years now and being pissed when the owner wouldn’t trade him. Being civil is not the same as having a good relationship.
Great point by @NickCRadio Preparing to lose my mind on June 2nd. At some point you have to say “if there is this much smoke” it has to be true. Really holding out hope, Elliot uses this moment to stand amongst his peers and work out better compensation for AJ Brown. #patriots
At this point, we should all be mentally prepared for the Pats to trade a 2028 first round pick for A.J. Brown.
We're all just sitting around waiting for June.
So @AlbertBreer keeps bringing up this point. "Howie doesn't want to lose". Great time for Elliot Wolf to stand his ground and earn some respect. The league has told you AJ isn't worth a staight up 1st round pick. Don't fold. The #Eagles have little leverage. #Patriots
.@AlbertBreer with some extra insight on the potential #Patriots and Eagles trade involving AJ Brown:
“I don’t think Howie Roseman’s gonna do a deal where he doesn’t come out looking like the winner… I know Howie has been creative… It wouldn’t be surprising to me if there were conditions on the deal… The other creative thing they can do is push some of the picks into the future… I know some of the previous trade talks on this were involving, not 2027 first-round pick, but a 2028 first-round pick. Howie’s shown a willingness to do that too.”
“I think [being able to trade for picks two years away] is one of the advantages that somebody like Howie has because has job security. There are a lot of guys who aren’t as willing to because it might be somebody else making that pick by the time we get there.”

So let me see if I follow the logic of some #Eagles fans, Howie is the best GM in the league and wont be had. Also Eagles fans Mike Vrable is tampering... These two things dont add up. Also I am old enough to remember that AJ wanted to move on from Phili circa 2 yrs ago #Patriots
@DrewLocks2 Totally different situation, his contract was partially Voided due to not showing up for rehab and he went AWAL on the team. The eagles are going to have to pay AJ a crap ton to sit there. Go ahead sit on him and release him for nothing next year.
There is no way in my mind the #Patriots give the #Eagles a 1st round pick in 27 or 28. Although they may entertain a 1st rounder in "value", a 3rd in 27 and a 3rd that could become a 2nd in 28. AJ Brown /The Pats have the leverage he doesnt want to be there. #NFL
