I'm very excited for Smitty. I think now he can surpass Brown's legacy and become one of the greatest WRs we've ever had.

I hope so too. The risk I see is that A.J. is no longer there to keep opposing secondaries attention, they can pay more attention to Smitty. If they do I hope Lemon and the others can make them pay.

I look at it this way, we traded a 1st and 3rd for AJ... It's like the Eagles went out and bought a mattress f'd on it for 4 years and then took it back to the store for a full refund.

LMAO that has got to be THE funniest thing I have read all day......thanks for that laugh

I have to keep reminding myself that the guy is at or near 30 and he's towards back end of his career (unless he turns out to be a Jerry Rice/Cris Carter type that plays until he's 40).

My real concern is that Slim isn't a true #1 and he probably won't be as effective without a guy like AJB on the other side. Hopefully I'm all wrong about this and I'd be glad to eat my crow. Please prove me wrong, DS.

DON'T WORRY, HE WILL. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE BEST WR ON THIS TEAM.

He bailed on us at the end of last season.

F him

bye bye, do well

Honestly I don't get the AJ hate. I Honestly don't believe his gripe was with Hurts, I think it was the fact that Sirianni got involved in the hiring process, again... He hired 2 bumm OCs and the O was absolute dog sh.. I think AJ knows that Mannion if as advertised will be leaving as well next season and didn't wanna have to keep dealing with the possibility of another crap OC hire by Nick.

Don't know, just a thought.

Um.....yeah.......

I saw something strange on X.

There's a reply to a post that suggests a woman was involved, Haason Reddick was involved, and in fact traded because of it.

Hurts knew about it, but never said anything about it, and then the **** hit the fan after that.

EDIT: I just saw that it was posted above.

If you are referring to AJ, I don’t think he gives AF about another trade (Garrett to LA) overshadow his move. I think he probably only cares that he got his wish and is out of Philly.

I expect his newfound happiness to be "short lived.. two days to be exact lol."

He was once suicidal. Don’t minimize it.

That certainly was not my intent. Suicidal is extreme … he may have overcome that state but there is still some level of mental illness apparent.

And here this the garbage drama from "source: I made it up”

Great job by Howie here. Traded a first and a third for a guy who helped him win a SB and got a first and a 5th back. For a guy nearing 30 who looked a bit diminished last season with a chronic knee problem was great work. I only hope Lemon and step up and become a solid two.

Him going to NE because a masseuse seems like the perfect fit. 😂

He bailed on the team on and off all season. He was not a top 15 WR 1 last year.

3 drops in a playoff game.

That scumbag quit route vs Denver will always be a bottom 20 Eagles play of all-time.

That game is a blowout if he just does his job.

Love the Rod Brind'Amour - Lindros rumor garbage about the massage therapist.

What are the odds that all of this happened and Jalen Hurts had a spy network or a secret best buddy friendship with Reddick that he knew and AJ did not?

I say this often. I can't stop people from being morons. I can only point and laugh.

AJ's relationship with Hurts is broken because AJ is broken. End of story.

I keep hearing how deep AJ is. Dude is as shallow as it gets. ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!

Its not new and its boring as hell. I can't wait until he figures out how little NE is actually paying him and how much is not guaranteed.

I am also really enjoying the 'expert' trade analysis that tries to cover what happened in 2025 and does not use the word "Patullo".

Its like trying to cover the Hindenburg without mentioning an explosion.

This is why unfortunately AJ will never be happy wherever he goes at least not for long. He will always be battling himself mentally.

Good riddance. I’d rather miss the playoffs than watch him quit on his team again.

If all this **** was really over a woman then I have REALLY lost respect for this clown, talent or not.....that's just petty to the highest degree....SMH...keep it damn professional.....

T.O. 2.0???, lol. All Good. AJ did his job, we got to two Bowls and now we will move forward. Sucks it's the Pats but that's what he wanted. I trust Devonta and Goedert to hold it down with the new guys. We will still have a strong running team with Saquon, Bigsby and Jalen. Howie clearly projected this move drafted Lemon in the 1st round. Our WR room right now is full of guys. Does that mean they will be as talented as AJ, no but we just need guys to do their jobs. Yes AJ was very talented and important to our team. We will evolve and grow from this. I'm not going to get in to the lockeroom rumors, gossip or drama because honestly it's over now. We will start fresh next season and again move forward.

I mean, let's face it, it wouldn't be the first time in history a woman ruined the team dynamics between a group of men. It's been happening since the days of ancient Greece.

its time to move on. Gossip and hearsay are worthless. Whatever happened- ITS OVER NOW.

Dog crap compensation. That needed to be a 2027 1st rd pick and that 5th needed to be conditional.

Dude is a snake

The Patriots wouldn't do it and neither would anybody else. The alternative would be keeping him on the Eagles and I think you know how that would have turned out.
