It seems like history is repeating itself with receiver A.J. Brown signing a contract extension with the Eagles, similar to what happened two years ago following the draft. The new deal adds three years to the remaining three years on his contract, with detailed terms provided by a source familiar with the agreement.
The contract includes a signing bonus of $19.875 million and various base salaries, option bonuses, and workout bonuses for the years 2024 to 2029. The total guarantee at signing is $51 million, with additional amounts becoming fully guaranteed in the years to come. This practically guarantees Brown $80 million over the course of the contract.
As a result of this extension, Brown now holds the title of the highest-paid receiver in terms of new-money average, earning $32 million per year. The deal ensures that Brown will earn at least $124 million in his career, with no per-game roster bonuses included in the new agreement.
Overall, this six-year, $164 million deal solidifies Brown’s position as one of the top-paid receivers in the league. His average value at signing of $27.33 million per year is the highest for any receiver in the NFL.
