"Thanks for the $100,000,000 to Pay AJ Brown": Eagles HC Nick Sirianni Reveals What he Told Team Owner Jeff Lurie About the Incredible WR

The Philadelphia Eagles are enjoying one of the best seasons with a 6-1 record and top ranking in the NFC. Their amazing run can be accorded largely to the wide receiver AJ Brown who has in fact assisted QB Jalen Hurts to lead the team.

Consequently, Head Coach Nick Sirianni is grateful for AJ Brown, to be inducted into the Eagles team. Not only this, but he also thanked the team owner Jeff Lurie for giving up $100,000,000 to close their star receiver.

Nick Sirianni Personally Thanks Lurie for Inducting Brown into the Team

Philadelphia Eagles HC Nick Sirianni is elated at the team’s performance this season. More so, he is ecstatic about how well AJ Brown has performed on the field, let alone his enthusiasm in the practices. In one such instance, Sirianni found his heart full, being eternally grateful for A.J. ‘s induction into the Eagles. He revealed during a press conference, that he unbelievably approached Eagles’ owner Jeff Lurie in order to thank him for bringing their star WR onboard.

“I think this weekend practice, A.J. was having an unbelievable practice and I went up to Mr. Lurie and I’m like- ‘No way I ever thought this would have come out of my mouth’. Thanks for the $100 million to pay A.J. Brown. I really appreciate that.

It is beyond doubt that Brown was on top of his form as the Eagles faced the Miami Dolphins. Sirianni continued to talk about his skills and fortitude as he lifted the team’s spirits and played to victory. 

“A.J. is a phenomenal player. He just has this unbelievable ability to come down with the football. Nobody catches the ball as pretty as A.J. Brown, nobody. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve practised. I’m just an off [offensive] guard wide receiver and just the skill that they have. Nobody goes and snags the football like him, nobody I’ve seen.”

It perplexes one’s mind to even think of what went down in the Eagles’ matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins boasted one of the strongest defences making it difficult to reach the end zone. However, the team effort and an explosive offense from Brown and the offense made multiple touchdowns scoring a 31-17 upset.

AJ Brown Stands Out with Skills and Individuality

AJ Brown has proved his mettle since he transitioned from the Tennessee Titans in 2022. The 26-year Ole Miss alum has performed exceptionally well this season, leading his team’s offense, especially with his ultimate receipts. 

He has emerged as a support to Jalen Hurts, especially after they were engaged in an animated interaction during their matchup against Minnesota. He even attempted the defining grab before Hurts scored his 32nd career rushing TD. 

This star WR has amassed 809 receiving yards in this season alone with 52 receptions overall. Moreover, his participation in the team has lifted the Eagles to multiple wins in just his second year with the franchise. His tough individuality has stood out especially as the Eagles go down strongly against their most difficult opponents.
