“It is hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J. is a great player,” Roseman said Thursday during his end-of-season news conference with coach Nick Sirianni.

“I think from my perspective, that’s what we’re going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he’s that guy.”

Brown finished with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025 — the fourth time he has eclipsed 1,000 yards in as many seasons since coming to Philadelphia.

Brown also showed his frustration at various points over the last couple of seasons, however, including cryptic social media posts in the early part of this season. He declined to speak to the media in the latter stages of the year, coinciding with his on-field meeting with CEO Jeffrey Lurie in mid-November when he promised he would stop complaining publicly.
