Howie Roseman's stance that brought A.J. Brown to Philly (Image via: Getty Images) The Philadelphia Eagles' journey to becoming Super Bowl champions in recent years has a defining moment — the acquisition of A.J. Brown. Now, GM Howie Roseman has revealed the untold inside story of how the blockbuster 2022 NFL Draft trade unfolded, the tense negotiations behind it, and how it nearly fell apart on draft night. A.J. Brown trade : Inside draft-day drama that brought him to Philadelphia Eagles Speaking on Bussin' With The Boys, Roseman recounted how the deal with then-Tennessee Titans GM John Robinson was set in motion on the morning of the 2022 NFL Draft. The Eagles, armed with a quarterback on a rookie contract, had the cap space to pursue a top receiver and Brown was their prime target. Trade terms were quickly agreed: a first-round and a third-round pick for Brown. But Roseman insisted the deal would only happen with a long-term contract in place. He wasn't willing to trade major draft capital for a potential one-year rental. Howie Roseman Breaks Down The AJ Brown Trade With The Tennessee Titans | Bussin' With The Boys As the draft began, Philadelphia traded up to take defensive tackle Jordan Davis at No. 12. The Brown deal, however, remained unsigned, prompting nervous moments in the Eagles' war room. 'Imagine this falls apart — like I'm gonna be the GM who can't get a deal done with AJ.,' Roseman admitted. How A.J.
