Does AJ Brown Make Trade Eagles NFC East Favorite?

The Philadelphia Eagles decided to make a splash when they went out and signed AJ Brown in a trade with the Tennessee Titans.

During the 2022 NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles caught everyone’s attention when they made the decision to trade with the Tennessee Titans for AJ Brown.

Brown has come off a season catching 63 passes for 869 yards and five touchdowns in 13 regular-season games. Instead of trying to catch passes in Nashville, the 24-year-old from Starkville, Mississippi will now be added to the Eagles offense.

And with this trade, Brown is now getting a solid payday. According to a tweet from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, he’s now receiving a significant four-year contract extension reportedly worth $100 million.

2022 NFL Draft: The Philadelphia Eagles make a stunning trade to bring AJ Brown from the Tennessee Titans

One of the most intriguing wide receivers in the NFL, Brown will now join a team that seems keen to make a splash in the NFC East sooner rather than later. The Eagles could have designed a wide receiver and hoped things would work out, but they instead chose to get a receiver that’s already proven and solid.

This trade is huge and will have a significant impact on how the NFC East develops this season. The Eagles are in a great position after facilitating this deal with the Titans.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that Brown will lead the Eagles to all sorts of new victories. It’s clear that Philadelphia’s offense has a lot more potential now that they have a dominant and dynamic receiver.

There are questions about Jalen Hurts potential as a quarterback, but getting him a very talented receiver proves the Eagles are willing to trust him as they move forward.

Putting Brown on a roster that already includes DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert makes this offense significantly more dangerous. There’s no guarantee the Eagles will win their division this year, but they’re in a much better position now than they were an hour ago.

The Dallas Cowboys will have very real competition this year in the NFC East.
