Mike Vrabel’s neck might be twitching again as two years after the Eagles traded for receiver A.J. Brown and gave him a massive contract extension, they have agreed to a new deal with him. The new three-year, $96 million extension comes while Brown still had three years remaining on his existing contract, making it now a six-year commitment. The exact breakdown of the dollars in the contract remains to be seen, but the $32 million per year average puts Brown at the top of the market for his position.
This move once again shows that the Eagles are not afraid to invest in top talent, as they were quick to extend Brown after recently securing Devonta Smith with a big contract as well. Other teams could learn from the Eagles’ proactive approach to securing and rewarding their key players, especially teams in the same division as the Eagles. It is clear that the Eagles do not take the easy route when it comes to building a competitive team.
