AJ brown and Brett Kern winning a ring in Philly might be the closest we get to a ship for quite some time boys.
Good for Kern tho, nice he could latch on to a great team.

That’s a big IF on their rings but glad Kern has another shot at one. On the flip side Brown can go F himself.
Why so much hate for Brown? Let me ask you a personal question. Are you good at your job? Let’s assume you are and you asked your boss for a raise and got turned down. But another more successful company saw more value in you and offered to hire you with a higher salary… you’d turn it down because loyalty, right? Lol
We can start by pointing out the numerous differences between athlete and normal job.
a) I don’t have fans. Never will.
B) I don’t have an end of the season, so no trophy, no goal outside the same goal that never stops.
C) I don’t make millions.
so what I, you, or anyone else on this board is not a valid comparison.
now I know agents play a roll, but to hold out for more money than I’m actually proven to be be worth is a gutsy move. Plenty of businesses over pay for the talent they have and it’s a case by case basis, but if my talents of production are equal to an appx amount, it would make me a d1ckhead to hold my current employee hostage until they pay me more than my production is actually worth. Just because another company has the money and is willing to overpay, doesn’t mean the company I was employed with is wrong or bad for not willing to pay more than what I’m worth.
basically, seems in action, Brown didn’t like Tennessee for “low balling him” despite his production not being worth what Philly ultimately paid for him. In turn, he’s taken his little jabs here and there regarding Tennessee making the mistake.
Being an athlete is still a job. Whether you’re being paid to catch a football or stock produce, you represent a company and getting paid to provide a service. Don’t know how often you’ve changed jobs but you know how common it is even in the real workforce to hold your former employer hostage as leverage to get a better offer somewhere else
I dont blame AJ for leaving and I dont blame us for not signing him. This was just an unfortunate situation.
Right. At the end of the day what is a difference of 5 or 6 million, when you looking to make 14-15 mil. Greed I guess. People will say your career could over in one snap in the NFL. Well if you cant manage to live your life comfortably on the millions you have made I think there is a bigger issue in your life.
Agree, but not more than your worth.
AJ wasn’t worth $25 mil. Philly overpaid. AJ stated Tennessee didn’t want to pay him.
I say, no s**t, you’re not worth that much. Unfortunately, he Fs it up for other people too. Kirk in Jax helped by getting overpaid.
that’s where I guess the real world is different. The real world has a cap set by whatever the business profits are and a goal of unending success.
Pro athletes deal with a cap, not because of a limit on ability to pay, but to attempt fairness across all the “businesses”.
They also have a 1 year goal. Put it all together for a single 9 month period to hold a trophy. After they hold up a trophy, IF, they get it, they start all over anyway.
If Philly had to indefinitely hold on to Brown (or anyone else) for an unending goal, likelihood to shell out more than someone is worth drops significantly.
He is a diva and pussied out last year
Dupree gets hate this year, but it's ok Brown did the exact same last year?
Eagles are going to the SB people...get ready for more Titans/AJ trade talk into the offseason
Someone was willing to overpay to have me, I'd pack my bags too. Titan fans can be upset all they want, but AJ only did what just about anyone else would have done.
Just because you want it to happen won't mean it will...they are a complete team....need to get over the AJ break up.
You gonna s**t on your former employer for not overpaying?
None of us know what happened in the contract negotiations...JRob has since been fired, the AJ trade I'm sure had something to do with it, so who knows what was said
you got pay pal or venmo? I will put 50 down right now that they are not winning the Super Bowl.
Nice try...I didn't say they would win the SB...I said they will be going to the SB
I'll put 40 on it that they aren't GOING to Super Bowl.
and before you scoff at the 10 dollar difference, you must think of it as Vegas would, and know your odds.
Eagles aren't going to the SB because Kern going to kick 2 yards punts in the playoffs or run back for a safety to sabotage AJ not going to the SB.
Seriously, the Eagles aren't going to the SB. Hurts just not that type of QB that will step up to the plate come playoff time.
