Instead, the Eagles traded the No. 18 draft pick and No. 101 (third round) to the Tennessee Titans for veteran receiver A.J. Brown.

Brown, 24, was a second-round pick back in 2019 and has become a star in the NFL.

The 6-1, 226-pound Brown is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract but the Eagles are giving him a major contract extension

[{"selector":"#anim-c19e1819-faf2-4866-8ee3-10ebdd274754","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.29393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3bb0926f-0466-4bf5-916a-76344498b7e9","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Brown’s new deal with the Eagles is a four-year contract extension worth 0 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport

[{"selector":"#anim-083ad992-4e19-4f32-b0c8-685d30f2a8c9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.29393%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fa0d09f-e26c-4978-897e-47a4d38160a8","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It includes million in guaranteed money.

That million APY during the extension makes him the fourth-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL.

While the Eagles used the No. 18 pick to get Brown, they used No. 15 to trade up to 13 and draft Jordan Davis out of Georgia.
