@SamMonsonNFL Whilst technically accurate, it's safe to day using this an accolade diminishes each year.

@lawlornfl Tough going for some years in the 90s! Hope you're keeping ok.

@LesBowen If you're certain he's a first round talent, maybe he's worth a low second.

Dontayvion Wicks hasn't been with the team for long, but he's already been impressive.

All star Quinyon Mitchell has praised him already.

@GoodGameBro Yes please. Even from the UK 🇬🇧 this looks like a huge upgrade.

My pal @FieldYates came on the pod to break down the Myles Garrett and AJ Brown trades for both sides.

Plus: way too early fantasy advice!

Jordan Mailata on Uar Bernard: "Uar is a freak. He's also not of this planet. ...He's just freakishly strong, freakishly fast, and I can't even compare him to me, just because he's just, again, not of this world, just by like metrics and numbers-wise. You see his effort on the film, once he puts it all together, I think it's a wrap."

My overall view on the deal...

- A.J. Brown wanted to play elsewhere and it was going to be untenable to keep him. At that point, it was finding the right deal.
- They were able to land a 1st-rd pick, which was key for them. I'm not one who views the '28 pick as a downgrade if they planned for the '26 season accordingly. The long view has served them well in previous trades, and with the Patriots in particular, the unknown of '28 could be advantageous.
- A '26 pick would have been appealing to help this year's roster, but the Eagles wanted the post-June 1 date for cap purposes. That's the tradeoff they needed to make.
- There's no spinning the team being better off this season because of this deal. They're worse tomorrow than they were yesterday. A.J. Brown is an elite player. But they also had a long runway to plan, and they've made enough moves for an intriguing passing game if the Hurts-Mannion partnership is fruitful.
- I can't imagine there were celebrations in the building today. Howie Roseman moved mountains to try to land a player like Brown. He's popular in the locker room and well-regarded in the organization. They signed him to a new deal hoping he'd finish his career here. For it to end this way is not ideal, but it's the business.
- I'd imagine it's natural to have some bitterness when somebody wants out, but Eagles fans should look fondly at Brown and the past 4 years. It was the best 4-year run by an Eagles WR ever. He made two Super Bowls (caught TDs in both), rewrote the record books. And isn't part of the joy of being a sports fan witnessing greatness? That's what Brown offered.

@PhillyPMC @BrandonGowton But my point stands. He's not at an AJ level

[Philadelphia Eagles @Eagles]

An incredible four seasons in Philly

[Johnny @Cumbleton]

@JonnyPage9 He was ridiculous and will 100% be missed.

[Philadelphia Eagles @Eagles]

Thank you for everything, A.J. 💚
