Titans Rejected A.J. Brown Trade Multiple Times Before Deal With Eagles, per Source
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.
