The ending of AJ Brown's time with the Philadelphia Eagles obviously didn't go as planned, but I think it's more important to look at the body of work that we saw from both sides during his time with the organization.
While Brown was eventually traded to the New England Patriots, and there was some messiness due to his attitude on and off the field, the Eagles still won a Super Bowl, and at the end of the day, that's exactly why he was traded for in a deal with the Tennessee Titans a few years ago.
The Eagles got the job done, and that's even what Jalen Hurts wanted to speak about when talking about what it means to not have Brown on the roster any longer.
"You come into it and you have a sense of pride in how it began and definitely what we were able to accomplish ... Nothing can take that away," he said, per ESPN. "For the great things that we did, now it's time to focus on achieving great things with this new iteration of the team."
Brown has definitely made his feelings known since leaving the Eagles, and from the sound of things, that isn't going to stop anytime soon.
He's an outspoken guy, whether we like it or not, and he'll say what he wants to say when the time comes. He's already made many comments, but Hurts isn't really worried about them and is just focused on what his team is currently doing.
"I'm not in a place to challenge anyone's perspective on anything ...That's where I am," Hurts said. "I have always been focused on the collective, put my energy towards that and as a leader, I've always put an onus on giving maximum effort to achieve the shared mission we have as a team."
These were two guys who were teammates, and while things might've not gone as planned in the end, the Eagles still did something that many teams wish they could do.
It's unfortunate to see it end the way it did, but there were still positives.
