After three seasons with the Titans, AJ Brown was traded to the Eagles ahead of the 2022 season.
Things certainly worked out, and he is now a Super Bowl champion.
It seemed as if he would end his career with the franchise until he decided to make the fan base start to wonder about his status with the team.
Philadelphia Eagles fans briefly felt their hearts skip a beat late Thursday night when Brown decided to instill fear into their souls by making fans think he got traded.
It all started after Brown posted a video with a cryptic message on Instagram. The caption read, “The wait is finally over,” as he held up a jersey that revealed a No. 11 New England Patriots jersey.
He told viewers, “Well, it’s finally official. The wait is over.”
AJ Brown was joking. Or so we thought.

AJ Brown Is Unlikely To Go Anywhere
A surge of anticipation is rippling through the NFL world as trade rumors are going crazy.
There is a narrative that if Abdul Carter slips to the fourth overall pick, he may inadvertently spark a blockbuster move.
A notable radio personality hinted that such a scenario might prompt the Eagles to contact the Patriots and ask them to trade that pick for AJ Brown.
This is all just a rumor.
In the 2024 season, Brown finished with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Eagles are primed and ready to possibly go back-to-back, so gutting the team of a standout wideout is unlikely.
