A.J. Brown: Treylon Burks is a good kid, sad it went down like that
Brown has caught 261 passes to help the Eagles reach two Super Bowls and win one in the last three seasons. Burks has been hurt often since entering the NFL and his latest injury is a fractured collarbone that landed him on injured reserve after clearing waivers. He's likely played his final snap for the Titans and his difficult time is in Brown's thoughts when he reflects on the trade.
During an appearance on Pardon My Take, Brown was asked his feelings about how lopsided the results of the trade have been.
'I'm grateful that happened,' Brown said. 'I like to say that I outgrew that situation at Tennessee. I'm glad this happened, because I felt like I was meant to shine. We needed a big team with a big market and I think this is the right place and the best fit for me. I am a little sad for Treylon Burks. I wish he could get healthy, because he is a good kid and I talk to him numerous times. I've got his number. It sucks to see it go down like that.'
The Brown trade isn't the only reason why the Titans have changed head coaches once and General Managers twice in the last few years, but it's a significant one that won't fully fade from memory in Tennessee until the team has success anywhere in the neighborhood that the Eagles have been in since it went down.

Breaking down Eagles-Bengals, preseason game No. 1: Returns and regressions
PHILADELPHIA — Zoom out from the end-zone slant zipping toward Ainias Smith. Cross the street from Lincoln Financial Field to the NovaCare Complex. Wind the clock back a week. There's Smith, after practice, catching slant after slant after slant in the end zone from Jalen Hurts. 'How many reps are you trying to get?' the Eagles quarterback asks. He's already thrown five. 'Until I get tired,' Smith responds. Hurts throws again and again and again. Advertisement Smith asked Hurts for the extra work. He'd missed a tough catch in practice. He wanted it back. He wanted to let Hurts know he could trust him to make that catch. Deeper still, he wanted the Eagles to trust him to make that catch. The 2024 fifth-round pick wanted to gain the ground he lost when he opened his rookie season on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in training camp. He wanted to prove he can be more than just a special teams player. So, he works with Hurts until the quarterback tells him he needs to throw a few to Jahan Dotson. Zip. Zip. Then Smith jumps in again. Now, back to the Linc. It's the second quarter of the preseason opener. It's third and goal. Smith runs the same route. Backup Tanner McKee sees Smith open. Zip. Smith hauls in the score. He raises his arms and runs to the sideline. Eagles strength coach Fernando Noriega is there, smiling. 'See?' Noriega says. 'Hard work is going to pay off.' Will it fully for Smith? He'll awake the morning after the Eagles' 34-27 exhibition win over the Bengals having taken a distinctive step in the team's wide receiver battle. Immediately after his 6-yard touchdown reception, after the Eagles defense forced a three-and-out, Smith returned a punt 46 yards by juking out one defender and stepping through two more. Two plays later, McKee unfurled a 20-yard touchdown between two defenders to Darius Cooper, an undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State, whose six catches for a game-high 82 yards underlined how tightly contested the bottom end of the roster is for the receiving corps. After the game, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, a former wide receiver coach for the Chiefs and Chargers, said he's 'looking forward to seeing how that race kind of plays itself out.' The top end is self-evident: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Jahan Dotson. Johnny Wilson's three catches for 73 yards against the Bengals — including a 28-yard reception that the 6-6, 228-pound receiver bobbled to himself while leaping in tight coverage — added statistical evidence to the value Sirianni said was 'underrated' in Wilson last year when the rookie served mostly as a run blocker. Smith is battling Cooper for what could be a final spot. Terrace Marshall, sidelined with a knee injury, could stretch the room to six. Elijah Cooks, a third-year veteran, was having a promising camp before he was carted off the field against the Bengals with an injury the Eagles did not disclose. Advertisement Sirianni has monitored Smith's development. A former wide receiver at Division II Mount Union, Sirianni said, 'one of the biggest transitions from college to pro is that receiver position.' Smith, as a 5-9, 176-pound slot receiver, must prove he can make more contested catches in tighter coverage. The Eagles have 'always seen the explosive ability to change directions by Ainias,' Sirianni said. The punt return provided a prime example. That extra feature may aid him in making the roster. Fully healthy, Smith is prepared to build on a rookie season in which he caught seven passes for 41 yards and a touchdown on just 96 offensive snaps. 'I feel like last year with the injury I was still a little hesitant,' Smith said. 'But now it's like I'm healthy. I feel good. God has blessed me to come out and feel fine again. So, it's really just about trusting myself.' General manager Howie Roseman quickly received confirmation that he made the right decision in his Monday night trade for Raiders cornerback Jakorian Bennett. It didn't appear that the winner of the cornerback battle was in uniform Thursday night. Kelee Ringo was roasted by Ja'Marr Chase, Adoree' Jackson surrendered a 21-yard pass that erased a holding penalty that should've been advantageous, and Eli Ricks had an inconsistent night in which he was flagged for pass interference, broke up a third-down pass and let a throw he jumped glance off his shoulder pads. Bennett watched from the sidelines. Ringo's night was particularly worrisome. On the opening drive of the game, Chase separated from Ringo along the left sideline and snagged a catch on a comeback route while falling out of bounds that gained 23 yards. On the second drive, Joe Burrow zipped a short pass to Chase along the left sideline, Ringo overshot Chase, and Chase cut inward and bolted for a 36-yard score. 'We've got to make that tackle there in that situation and stop that play for a 16-yard gain instead of it going out there,' Sirianni said. 'But (Ringo has) done a lot of good things. And everything — we evaluate everything, right? It's not just a one-game deal. And I have no doubt that he'll look at the tape, and he'll get better from that.' Advertisement The Eagles were playing cover 0 on the touchdown, Ringo said. It's a demanding defensive call. To blitz extra defenders, defensive backs must cover their matchups one-on-one with no deep safety to bail them out if they're beaten. It was a demanding situation. Chase is a four-time Pro Bowler who earned his first All-Pro selection by leading the NFL in catches (127), receiving yards (1,708) and touchdowns (17) last season. But the Eagles will see plenty of potent passing offenses in 2025. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is trying to identify a No. 2 cornerback he can trust to send such blitzes. Bennett will soon get his shot. He arrived in Philadelphia on Tuesday, a timeline that allowed him to only dress for warmups against the Bengals. Two preseason games remain for the Eagles to secure reliability along the defensive perimeter. The NFL made the 'dynamic kickoff' a permanent fixture this summer with one amendment: touchbacks will now come out to the 35-yard line instead of the 30. Kickoff returns increased from a record-low 21.8 percent in 2023 to 32.8 percent last season, and the league has projected that by moving the touchback to the 35, return rates will rise to somewhere between 60 to 70 percent. Of the 14 kickoffs in Eagles-Bengals, 12 were returned. Eagles running back Keilan Robinson, who's fighting on the fringe of the roster, had the team's longest with a 32-yard return in the fourth quarter.

On Football: Cowboys can't afford to let Micah Parsons' contract dispute linger into the season
Jerry Jones is known for dragging contract negotiations so it's no surprise Micah Parsons is just the latest Dallas Cowboys star player to have to wait on a new deal. Dak Prescott had to play on the franchise tag in 2020 after being unable to reach agreement on an extension, and he didn't get another new deal last season until hours before the Week 1 opener. Jones eventually caved and made Prescott the highest-paid player in NFL history with an average of $60 million per year. CeeDee Lamb held out into late August last year following an All-Pro season before Jones gave him a four-year, $136 million deal. All-Pro guard Zack Martin held out of training camp in 2023 while waiting for a new contract. This is nothing new for Jones. Back when the Cowboys were America's Team, even Emmitt Smith couldn't get paid quickly. The Hall of Fame running back missed the first two games of the 1993 season because of a contract dispute. He eventually signed a $13.6 million deal — most for a running back at the time — after the Cowboys started 0-2 without him but they still ended up winning the Super Bowl. Jones mentioned that when training camp started. That's not a good sign that Parsons will get what he wants sooner than later. Jones operates on his own time and there's plenty of ego involved. He's been a unique owner since he bought the Cowboys in 1989 and named himself general manager. Hiring Jimmy Johnson to replace Tom Landry was Jones' best decision. Both men are in the Hall of Fame for it and the Cowboys won three Super Bowls under Jones. But they haven't reached an NFC championship game in 30 years and they won't get through a tough NFC East without Parsons, the two-time All-Pro edge rusher and generational talent. The Philadelphia Eagles are defending Super Bowl champions. The Washington Commanders faced the Eagles in the conference title game. Dallas has a big challenge trying to compete in the division and they'll need Parsons to have a chance. Jones hasn't even talked to his agent, David Mulugheta. Jones has said he had direct conversations with Parsons in the spring over a contract extension that would almost certainly make him the highest-paid defender in NFL history. By waiting for Myles Garrett (4 years, $160 million) and T.J. Watt (3 years, $123 million) to sign new contracts, Parsons is in line to make more than $41 million per year. The Cowboys waited to sign Prescott and were forced to give him more money than any other player because he was the next quarterback in line. Jones' patience has a negative impact on his checkbook. Parsons, who is a hold-in at camp, requested a trade last week. Jones blew it off. 'We have no intentions of trading Micah, and that's part of the negotiations,' Cowboys co-owner Stephen Jones told the team's website. 'That's just the nature of negotiations. I think any player that's holding out for a contract – I think I've read around the league where they've all requested to be traded. So that's part of it. We have no intention of trading Micah. He's right here in camp.' Business is business but there seems like there's some tension in this relationship that won't be erased until Jones and the Cowboys give in. Jerry Jones isn't certain Parsons will play in Week 1 against the Eagles. 'A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that?' he said. Parsons is scheduled to make $24 million in the final season of his five-year rookie contract and could be franchise tagged in 2026 without an extension. Prescott is confident a deal will get done because he's been through it. 'I can say from experience that it's just frustrating,' Prescott said. 'I hate that he's going through it, but as I've told him, keep handling things the way that you are, and I believe that he should be paid.' Longtime NFL super-agent Leigh Steinberg, who represents the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, also expressed confidence that Parsons will get his new deal. 'Despite the current friction and heightened public spotlight surrounding the Cowboys-Parsons contract deadlock, this situation will ultimately be resolved,' Steinberg told the AP. 'Micah Parsons is simply too valuable to the franchise - a generational talent who's irreplaceable on the field and central to the team's identity. The Cowboys, for all the noise, are ultimately pragmatic when it comes to retaining cornerstone players. In the end, I expect a deal to get done and for Parsons to enjoy a long, successful career in Dallas.' It's just a matter of when and whether Parsons misses any games, which the Cowboys can't afford if they want to be championship contenders. ___ On Football analyzes the biggest topics in the NFL from week to week.

Former Nebraska lineman Ty Robinson records first sack with the Philadelphia Eagles
A former Nebraska defensive tackle recorded his first professional sack on Wednesday night. Philadelphia Eagles rookie Ty Robinson sacked Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning in the second quarter of his first preseason game. Eagles drafted Ty Robinson with the ninth pick in the fourth round. The defensive tackle had an impressive 2024 for the Cornhuskers. In 13 games, he recorded 37 tackles, 13.0 for loss, and 7.0 sacks. His performance was good enough to earn Third-Team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and media. He has tallied 130 tackles and 11 sacks in five seasons with the Huskers. Robinson also turned heads at the NFL combine, running a 4.8 340-yard dash and jumping 33.5 inches. He signed a four-year, $5.1 million deal with a $1 million signing bonus back in May.
