Eagles GM Roseman Denies Brown Trade Rumors, Defends Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman addressed key team matters during a press conference on Tuesday, emphasizing a long-term approach to the upcoming NFL draft while firmly denying trade rumors surrounding wide receiver A.J. Brown and defending quarterback Jalen Hurts against recent media criticisms.

Roseman outlined the Eagles' draft philosophy, which prioritizes players with high upside for sustained success rather than immediate contributions. He explained that the organization focuses on prospects who could develop into All-Pro talents by their third season, trusting the coaching staff to nurture young players through their early twenties. "The biggest mistake we can make is assuming we know what the team is going to look like a year from now, two years from now," Roseman said, adding that recent free agency moves, including the signings of Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore and the trade for Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers, do not alter draft evaluations. Head coach Nick Sirianni supported this view, committing to develop all newcomers regardless of draft status to build a roster for the latter half of the decade.
