BREAKING NEWS: Excitement Fills Philadelphia Eagles as A.J. Brown Announces Return for 2025-26 Season
Philadelphia, PA – July 28, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles’ fanbase is buzzing with excitement following a major announcement from star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who declared, “I’m not going anywhere,” confirming his return for the 2025-26 NFL season. The news comes as a massive boost for the reigning Super Bowl champions, who are gearing up for a challenging campaign to defend their title. Head Coach Nick Sirianni has promised to make Brown a central figure in the team’s offensive strategy, further igniting optimism among Eagles fans.
A.J. Brown’s Commitment to Philadelphia
A.J. Brown, a three-time Pro Bowl receiver and a cornerstone of the Eagles’ explosive offense, put an end to offseason speculation about his future with the team. Despite rumors circulating on social media platforms, Brown reaffirmed his loyalty to Philadelphia, citing his love for the city and the organization. “This is home,” Brown said during a press conference at the NovaCare Complex. “The fans, the team, the culture – it’s special. I’m all in for 2025 and beyond.”
Brown’s decision comes on the heels of a stellar 2024 season, where he eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the third consecutive year, despite missing four games due to injury. His chemistry with quarterback Jalen Hurts and fellow receiver DeVonta Smith proved instrumental in the Eagles’ dominant 40-22 Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Brown’s touchdown in the Super Bowl, along with his clutch performances throughout the postseason, solidified his status as one of the NFL’s elite playmakers.
The 27-year-old receiver, who signed a three-year, $96 million contract extension in April 2024, is under contract with the Eagles through 2029. His announcement quashes any trade rumors, with multiple sources confirming the team’s commitment to keeping their star wideout. “Contrary to internet speculation, the Eagles are not trading A.J. Brown,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier this year, a sentiment echoed by Brown himself.
Nick Sirianni’s Vision for Brown
Head Coach Nick Sirianni, fresh off a multi-year contract extension following the Eagles’ Super Bowl triumph, expressed his enthusiasm for Brown’s return and outlined a bold vision for the star receiver in the 2025-26 season. “A.J. is the heart of our offense,” Sirianni stated. “We’re going to make him the focal point of what we do. His ability to make plays, his leadership, and his passion for the game elevate everyone around him.”
Sirianni, whose .701 win percentage ranks among the highest in NFL history for coaches with at least 75 games, emphasized the importance of building around Brown and the team’s core players. With the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to the New Orleans Saints, Sirianni has promoted passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo to take over play-calling duties. Patullo’s familiarity with the Eagles’ system ensures continuity, and he is expected to design plays that maximize Brown’s explosive potential alongside Hurts and Smith.
“You can always throw it to A.J. Brown,” Sirianni said with a smile during a recent training camp session, highlighting Brown’s reliability as a target. The coach’s confidence is backed by Brown’s 2024 performance, where he averaged 15.5 yards per reception and scored multiple touchdowns in critical games, including the postseason. Analysts predict Brown could surpass 1,500 receiving yards in 2025, with some projecting All-Pro honors.
