Overview
- The Eagles traded A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots on June 1, a roster move that begins a new receiving-room era for Philadelphia.
- Hurts told reporters at mandatory minicamp that he did not call the final playoff play cited in the ESPN story and that he is “always open to growth.”
- Hurts said his priority is building with new offensive play-caller Sean Mannion and new quarterback coach Parks Frazier and achieving scheme fluency through repetition.
- Brown has said he and Hurts are no longer as close as they once were but insisted there is “no bad blood,” while coach Nick Sirianni emphasized that teammates do not need to be close friends to pursue shared goals.
- Brown’s receiving yards declined in 2024 and 2025, and the trade plus coaching turnover raises the key question to watch this season: whether the Eagles can translate the new staff and roster changes into consistent offensive cohesion.
