A.J. Brown, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been awarded a lucrative three-year contract extension worth $96 million with $84 million guaranteed. With this agreement, Brown has become the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, earning $32 million per season.
Brown’s new contract surpasses the earnings of other top wide receivers like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tyreek Hill, who earn around $30 million per season. Since joining the Eagles, Brown has excelled on the field with impressive stats, including 1,456 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last season.
Despite rumors of wanting to leave the team following a late-season slump that saw the Eagles fall in the playoffs, Brown quickly dispelled these rumors and confirmed his commitment to Philadelphia in February. With two years remaining on his previous deal, Brown has now solidified his future with the Eagles through the 2029 season.
Paired with quarterback Jalen Hurts, who is also locked in long-term, Brown is poised to be a dominant force in the NFC East for years to come. The new contract solidifies his status as a key player for the Eagles and cements his role as a leader on the team.
