From the article

From 2022 to 2025, no NFL receiver had a greater share of his team's receiving yards than Brown (32.6%), and only two (Tyreek Hill and Puka Nacua) had more yards per route run. Brown was particularly valuable to quarterback Jalen Hurts as a safety valve against man coverage. Simply put, to remove him is to remove a keystone of the Eagles' offense.

Negative signalRole

A.J. Brown's 32.6% receiving yard share loss reshapes Eagles offense.

A.J. Brown's absence from the 2026 Eagles offense represents a major loss of receiving production and offensive architecture. From 2022 to 2025, Brown commanded 32.6% of the Eagles' receiving yards—the highest share of any NFL receiver—and ranked among the top two in yards per route run. He was particularly valuable to Jalen Hurts as a safety valve against man coverage; removing him eliminates a keystone of the Eagles' offensive system.
