QB Hurts says focus on offense amid A.J. Brown trade rumors
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts addressed persistent trade rumors surrounding star wide receiver A.J. Brown, stating his focus remains on learning the team's new offensive scheme while cherishing their past accomplishments together. Hurts spoke to reporters as speculation intensifies that Brown could be traded soon, with June 1 viewed as a pivotal date due to more favorable salary cap implications for the Eagles.
When asked about the potential trade, Hurts emphasized the team's current priorities. He said the team is focused on learning the offense and that their approach to improvement does not change. He acknowledged the ongoing rumors, stating there is an "if" regarding a trade, but added that nothing can replace the greatness they achieved together.
Hurts also addressed his personal relationship with Brown, which has been a subject of public scrutiny, particularly after he did not attend Brown's wedding in California last month. Hurts said nothing has changed since they last spoke at the end of the season and described their relationship as really good. He said he saw the wedding pictures and was very happy for Brown and his wife, calling it a beautiful thing.
