Nick Sirianni Is Unsure Whether A.J. Brown Will Be Back With The Eagles In 2026

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni could not guarantee that star wide receiver A.J. Brown would be back with the organization heading into next season. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman also declined to confirm that Brown would be back with the team next season.

This comes after season-long speculation that the Eagles and Brown could be heading toward a divorce as Brown voiced his frustration with his role in the offense.

Sirianni spoke to the media about Brown, saying, “Yeah, my expectation is he wants to be here. And obviously you want good players like that in your building.”

“As Howie said, it’s hard to get good players in this league. A.J.’s a great player and A.J. is a good teammate and A.J. is a good person. Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes.”

Then Sirianni was asked directly whether he can confirm if Brown will be back, adding, “Will A.J. be here next season? I think we’re still in a spot, like, I can’t guarantee how anything is going to play out into next season. I’m thinking I’m going to be the coach next season, but you can’t guarantee anything past tomorrow.”

Brown, 28, called Philadelphia “home” when he appeared on Micah Parsons’ podcast during the week of the Super Bowl. He also said that he was “fortunate” to be one of the leaders on the Eagles’ offense.

Brown still managed to eclipse 1,000 yards last season and score seven touchdowns, despite what was considered a “down” year for the receiver.

It remains to be seen whether Brown will be back with the Eagles or will have a new home next season.
