Two years ago, the Eagles acquired A.J. Brown on the first day of the 2022 NFL Draft and signed him to an extension. Ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, they're now extending once again.
Brown has inked a three-year extension with the Eagles, setting multiple records as Philadelphia locks up the team's second star receiver of the offseason.
The Eagles signed Brown's teammate, DeVonta Smith, to a three-year, $75 million extension to keep him in Philly through 2028. Between Brown, Smith, and quarterback Jalen Hurts, who signed a five-year, $255 million extension before the 2023 season, Philadelphia has ensured its key offensive stars are locked up for years to come.
