Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie Officially Responds After Rumors of A.J. Brown Wanting a Trade: “We Prioritize Winning Championships.”
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
After days of speculation surrounding A.J. Brown’s rumored frustration and possible trade request, Philadelphia Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie has finally spoken — and his message left no room for doubt.
In an interview with The Athletic, when asked what he would do if Brown truly requested a trade, Lurie responded calmly but firmly:
“We prioritize winning championships. Every decision made in Philadelphia is weighed against that goal. If something doesn’t bring us closer to a ring, it doesn’t belong on the table.”
The statement — cool, confident, and unapologetically team-first — quickly spread across the NFL community. For Lurie, emotion and ego have no place ahead of the team’s ultimate mission.

He also dismissed rumors that the Eagles are fractured behind the scenes:
“This isn’t conflict — it’s intensity. And I like that. We’ve built this team with strong personalities who care deeply about winning. That’s what makes the Eagles who we are.”
According to team insiders, tensions between Brown and the organization have “mostly settled,” but uncertainty remains as contract talks have yet to progress.
Still, the message from the top of Lincoln Financial Field couldn’t be clearer:
“The Eagles are built to win, not to cater to emotions. We prioritize winning championships — and that will never change.”
