Broncos Ready to Offer Massive Contract to A.J. Brown After Eagles Head Coach’s Comments on Super Bowl Champion WR

DENVER — Recent remarks from Nick Sirianni at the NFL Scouting Combine have quietly shifted the offseason landscape. When the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles declined to give a firm guarantee about A.J. Brown’s return in 2026, speculation followed immediately — and the Denver Broncos are reportedly paying close attention.

Sirianni emphasized that nothing in the NFL is guaranteed year to year, even while expressing mutual interest in keeping Brown in Philadelphia. Still, the absence of a definitive commitment was enough to open the door just slightly. In today’s NFL, that is often all it takes for front offices around the league to begin exploring possibilities.

For Denver, the timing could be significant. The Broncos enter the offseason focused on surrounding their young quarterback with elite offensive talent. Brown, a proven No. 1 wide receiver and Super Bowl champion, would instantly elevate the ceiling of Denver’s passing attack.

League sources suggest that if Brown were to become available, the Broncos would be prepared to present a massive contract offer — potentially exceeding $30 million per year — placing him among the highest-paid wide receivers in football. With available cap flexibility and draft capital, Denver has the resources required to at least initiate serious trade discussions.

From a football standpoint, Brown checks every box. He has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in six of his first seven seasons and has twice eclipsed 1,400 yards with the Eagles. His physicality, ability to win contested catches and dominance in critical moments make him one of the league’s most complete wideouts.

Of course, any deal would be complicated. Philadelphia would face significant dead cap considerations, particularly if a trade occurred before June 1. And despite Sirianni’s measured comments, the Eagles still value Brown as a cornerstone piece of their offense.

However, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman’s public acknowledgment that the team “listens to everything” reinforces that no scenario is entirely off the table. That alone reshapes the trade conversation league-wide.

Nothing appears imminent. No official talks have been confirmed. But in the NFL, opportunity often begins with subtle uncertainty. And if the door truly remains slightly open in Philadelphia, the Broncos appear ready — financially and strategically — to make a bold move for one of the game’s premier wide receivers.
