The Philadelphia Eagles have secured the services of wide receiver A.J. Brown with a lucrative contract extension. Worth $96 million, the three-year deal guarantees $84 million, making Brown the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history with $32 million per season.
Negotiated by Tory Dandy of CAA, the free agent deal ensures that Brown will be with the Eagles through the 2029 season. With impressive stats including 1,456 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season, Brown has excelled on the field since joining the team.
Despite rumors of wanting to leave following a late-season slump that saw the Eagles fall in the playoffs, Brown quickly dispelled these rumors and confirmed his commitment to Philadelphia in February. With two years remaining on his previous deal, Brown has now solidified his future with the Eagles through 2029.
Paired with quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is also locked in long-term, Brown is poised to be a dominant force in the NFC East for years to come. The new contract solidifies his status as a key player for the Eagles and cements his role as a leader on the team.
