BREAKING: A.J. Brown has just confirmed his enthusiasm for returning to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2026 season during an appearance on Micah Parsons’ podcast. This marks Brown’s first public comments since the Eagles’ 22-19 loss to the Chargers on December 8, 2025, in SoFi Stadium, and he expressed a renewed commitment to the team.
During the podcast, Brown spoke positively about his future in Philadelphia, despite swirling trade rumors from last season. When asked about his goals for the offseason, Brown stated, “Yeah, as an offense, we just come back and just really watch the tape and rediscover ourselves and go to work each and every day.” His clear focus on improvement signals a desire to stay with the Eagles.
Brown’s comments come amid significant changes, including the hiring of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. While he did not directly address the coaching staff changes, Brown emphasized the importance of being “detailed and disciplined” as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
Reflecting on his journey, Brown praised the Eagles and their fanbase, noting, “When I got to Philly, man, Philly welcomed me with open arms. That’s home, man, and I love them.” His positive remarks suggest a deep connection to the city and the organization, underscoring his commitment to the Eagles’ future.
Despite a challenging season where he finished with 1,003 yards—his fourth consecutive season over 1,000 yards—Brown’s performance was marred by struggles in key moments, including a disappointing playoff loss to the 49ers where he managed only three receptions for 25 yards. Reflecting on that game, he said, “You have good days, you have bad days,” showing resilience and a forward-looking mindset.
Additionally, Parsons revealed a fascinating tidbit during the podcast, stating he nearly joined the Eagles before being traded to the Packers. He indicated he was only willing to make the switch if he could play alongside current Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter, highlighting the strong bonds among players.
As the offseason progresses, Brown’s optimistic outlook and commitment to the Eagles could play a pivotal role in shaping the team’s future. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the Eagles aim to build on their recent challenges and enhance their roster for the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops regarding A.J. Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles.
