Summary
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni took a subtle shot at former player AJ Brown during a press conference, suggesting that Brown prioritizes individual success over team goals. Brown had previously signed a photo with the message “The best to ever play here. Always open” on his last day with the Eagles. Sirianni’s comments come after the team traded Brown to the New England Patriots in June.
Our Reading
The drama arrives with confidence.
Nick Sirianni calls out AJ Brown’s self-centered attitude, and it’s not like we haven’t seen this play out before. Brown’s “Always open” parting shot sounds more like a Twitter bio than a team-first mantra. The Eagles coach isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and it’s clear he’s glad to be rid of the distraction. Brown’s response? He and QB Jalen Hurts “haven’t been as close as we once were.” Yeah, that’s not a thing you say about your teammate. The real question is, will Brown’s new Patriots teammates be thrilled to have him?
Original observation: Team players don’t need to announce they’re “always open” – it’s a given.
