PHILADELPHIA — A few days away from the two-year anniversary of trading for A.J. Brown, the Eagles reached an agreement to extend the star wide receiver once again Thursday night.

The extension will run through 2029, and reportedly worth up to $96 million with $84 million guaranteed. Brown, 26, was previously under contract through 2026 on an extension he signed two years ago when the Eagles traded for the star receiver during the first round of the NFL draft. His guaranteed money is reportedly the most for a wide receiver in league history.

The move comes one week after the Eagles signed DeVonta Smith, Brown’s running mate, to an extension that stretches through the 2028 season and now gives the team one of the best receiving duos in the NFL for the foreseeable future. Smith’s deal has an average annual value of roughly $25 million, which was in line with Brown’s previous contract.

Since the Eagles surrendered the No. 18 and No. 101 picks in the 2022 draft to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for Brown and signed him to a four-year, $100 million extension, the former Ole Miss standout has been one of the league’s best receivers. He finished last season with 106 catches for 1,456 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. The previous year, he had 88 catches for 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Brown’s deal will sit atop of the wide receiver market with Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill and Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, who signed an extension with Detroit on Wednesday. Still, there’s a chance the market resets in the near future with All-Pro receivers Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase headlining a deep and talented group of wideouts eligible for contract extensions this offseason.
