Eagles player Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown split relationship, veteran says: ‘Things have changed’
The problems with the Philadelphia Eagles last year seem to have been fixed, but clearly, there is one key relationship that is still broken.
The Birds lost six of their last seven games to end the 2023 campaign, and many wondered if changes were coming.
However, they retained head coach Nick Sirriani, and that seems to have worked well, as they are now 11-2 on the season.

But their quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver, AJ Brown, may have their own issues.
The Eagles won again on Sunday, but it was awfully close against the Carolina Panthers, and Brown called a passing game. That led veteran defenseman Brandon Graham to say, “the person making the complaint needs to be held accountable.
“I don’t know the whole story, but I know that [Hurts] he tries again [Brown] it could be a little better in the way he responds to things,” Graham said, before dropping the bombshell.

“They were friends before this, but things have changed, and I understand that because life happens. But the business side, we have to make sure that the personal doesn’t interfere with the business,” said Graham.
Graham later said he “made a mistake” by letting that kind of cat out of the bag, and said he would apologize to both Hurts and Brown.
“I made a mistake and thought it was nothing,” Graham told ESPN. “I want to win so badly that I just don’t want to use the media when we need to talk about something and fix the problem ourselves. I didn’t come well so that’s bad for me.
“I just thought, it made me look really bad because I was wrong and now people are going to run with that part. I really just want to win, man, and I just want my brothers to know how to get out.”
