The Titans rejected multiple trade offers from the Eagles for wide receiver A.J. Brown prior to the culmination of the draft-night deal that led to Brown landing in Philadelphia, sources told MMQB’s Albert Breer.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, a former Colts assistant, huddled with Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman and others to review and study tape of Brown, per Breer. Sirianni, who coached against Brown twice a year in the AFC South when he was with the Colts, was a big fan of Brown. Roseman was all-in on Brown as well, which ultimately led to the manifestation on draft night that landed Brown with the Eagles.
