Decision Made On A.J. Brown's Future With Eagles Minutes Before NFL Draft

The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly "agreed to terms" on a three-year extension with All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown worth $96 million, which will make him the highest-paid player at his position, NFL Network 's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday (April 25) night, minutes before the start of the first-round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

"Sources: The #Eagles and star WR AJ Brown agreed to terms on a new 3-year extension for $96M, the highest for any WR in NFL history. He’s now under contract thru 2029 & his total guarantee of $84M is also the highest. The deal, his third at 27, was done by Tory Dandy of CAA," Rapoport wrote on his X account.

Brown's reported extension comes amid trade speculation that followed the Eagles' decision to give fellow wide receiver DeVonta Smith a three-year, $75 million ($51 million guaranteed) extension earlier in the offseason. Philadelphia acquired Brown in a Draft-Day sign-and-trade with the Tennessee Titans in 2022 and was selected as a second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler during each of the past two seasons.

Brown recorded a career-best 106 receptions for 1,457 yards and seven touchdowns for the Eagles in 2023. Philadelphia enters the 2024 NFL Draft with the No. 22 overall pick in the first-round.
