Eagles veteran reveals deteriorating relationship between A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts: ‘Things have changed’

A nine-game winning streak isn’t enough to cure the on-again-off-again drama that has engulfed the Eagles for the better part of the last two seasons.

Brandon Graham — the team’s longest-tenured player and captain who is currently on injured reserve with a triceps tear — told 94WIP that quarterback Jalen Hurts and star receiver AJ Brown’s relationship has deteriorated in recent weeks.

“The person [A.J. Brown] that’s complaining need to be accountable. And I’m just being honest, you know what I’m saying. And like, he knows this,” Graham said. “I don’t know the whole story, but I know that [Jalen Hurts] is trying, and I mean, [Brown] could be a little better with how he responds to things.

“And, they was friends before this, but things have changed. I understand that because life happens, but it’s the business side that we have to make sure that we don’t let the personal get in the way of the business. And that’s what we gotta do better right now, because we know it’s an issue, everybody’s seeing some things. But we need to be able to talk things out as men. You know what I’m saying?”

It is unclear what transpired to impact their relationship, but Graham added that they needed to “let personal stuff go.”

Graham later walked back these comments, saying it should’ve remained in-house.
