Eagles’ Jalen Hurts Agrees Him, AJ Brown Grew Apart Prior To Latter’s Departure To New England

In his own interview with GQ Magazine, published Tuesday, Hurts confirmed that Brown is right, but as you’ll see, the outlet had to pull the answer out of him. (RELATED: ‘We’ll Definitely Be A Better Location’: Houston Mayor Throws Shade At Austin In Battle For NHL Expansion Franchise)

“There’s no surprise that it was talked about,” Hurts said in the GQ interview when questioned about him and Brown growing apart.

And there you have it. The worst-kept secret in Philadelphia is finally out in the open, even if Hurts looked like he’d rather sit through a root canal than utter those three words.

When Brown was shipped off to Foxborough, everyone tried to justify it through draft capital, cap gymnastics, roster retooling, blah, blah, blah. But the truth is much simpler: when your franchise quarterback and your WR1 can’t stand being in the same room, somebody has to pack their bags.

And from the looks of it, everything is going to work out perfectly.

Both guys get exactly what they want. Brown gets the spotlight and a fresh start with the AFC champion Patriots, while Hurts gets total command of Philadelphia’s offense without having to massage the ego of a diva receiver.
