Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni stopped short of guaranteeing that star wide receiver A.J. Brown will be back with the team next season.
Brown’s future in Philly has been a consistent source of speculation, and while Sirianni made it clear that he wants to continue to coach Brown, he can’t make any promises regarding what the front office will decide to do.
"Will A.J. be here next season? I think we're still in a spot, like, I can't guarantee how anything is going to play out into next season. I'm thinking I'm going to be the coach next season, but you can't guarantee anything past tomorrow," Sirianni said, via ESPN.
"… Yeah, my expectation is he wants to be here. And obviously you want good players like that in your building. … As Howie [Roseman] said, it's hard to get good players in this league. A.J.'s a great player and A.J. is a good teammate and A.J. is a good person. Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes."
