Sunday will mark a clash of the Titans, including a former Tennessee Titan — for the first time since the trade went down during the 2022 NFL draft, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown will go up against the team that initially drafted him.
The Ole Miss product had been seeking a new contract, but the Titans ultimately made a business decision, acquiring two draft picks for their top wideout, including the No. 18 overall pick in last year’s draft that was eventually used to select rookie wide receiver, Treylon Burks.
Earlier this week, Brown, who has not been quiet about his departure from Tennessee, claimed that he had ‘won’ the trade. While Sunday will likely provide a final nail in the coffin for both parties, there is plenty of hype leading up to the Titans and Eagles Week 13 matchup.
Here’s what the Titans are saying about their former teammate ahead of Sunday.
