Philly Secures Top Wideout with $164 Million Extension: A.J. Brown Signed to Six-Year Deal

History repeats itself with the Eagles signing A.J. Brown to a contract extension, two years after the draft. The new agreement adds three years to the remaining three years on his existing contract, with detailed terms provided by a source familiar with the agreement.

The deal includes a signing bonus of $19.875 million and various base salaries, option bonuses, and workout bonuses for the years 2024 to 2029. The total guarantee at signing is $51 million, with additional amounts becoming fully guaranteed in the years to come. This practically guarantees Brown $80 million over the course of the contract.

As a result of this extension, Brown now holds the title of the highest-paid receiver in terms of new-money average, earning $32 million per year. The deal ensures that Brown will earn at least $124 million in his career, with no per-game roster bonuses included in the new agreement.
