Philadelphia Eagles wideout A. J. Brown married his longtime partner, Kelsey Riley, in an intimate oceanfront ceremony at the Montage Laguna Beach resort in California, on Saturday. However, Brown’s teammate and quarterback, Jalen Hurts, was not in attendance for the ceremony.
On Monday, former NFL running back LeSean McCoy suggested that football has damaged the personal relationship between Hurts and Brown.
Thanks for the submission!
“Obviously, it’s not what it used to be,” McCoy said on the “Speakeasy” show. “I think sometimes, when it’s a work relationship and where friends outside a work relationship are not delivering on the field, maybe because of his fault (or the others’), the relationship might get affected. And I think this is the problem we have right here. … Now there’s a little bit of friction there.

Hurts and Brown were friends from a young age, despite going to different high schools. They eventually became teammates when the Eagles acquired Brown via a trade with the Tennessee Titans in 2022.
Hurts and Brown helped Philly reach two Super Bowls, winning one in 2025. However, last season, their relationship reportedly soured due to the Eagles’ play-calling.
A. J. Brown expected to sign with New England Patriots this offseason
A. J. Brown has been linked with a move to the New England Patriots this offseason. Per reports, the Patriots and Eagles are waiting until June 1 to finalize a potential trade for the wideout due to NFL salary cap rules.
Brown has long been flirting with a move away from the Eagles this offseason. He helped Philly win the NFC East last season, but the team crashed out of the playoffs with a 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round.
