Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has a lengthy track record of getting in trouble after speaking his mind on social media.
The star pass-catcher took heat back in December of 2023 when he ripped into an Eagles fan on social media for criticizing the team’s offensive play-calling, which he stated had become “too predictable."
Brown's mentions were flooded with fans reprimanding him for his remarks and for picking a fight with the people who supported him.
“Yall fans swear yall know everything,” Brown replied. “… I get blame for more [expletive] than anything. Tired of yall playing with my character.”
Brown kept with tradition on Friday when he again took aim at some Eagles fans when he fired off a series of tweets venting his frustration with them, calling some of them out for “weird behavior” before deleting the venomous rant from his X account.
“Eagles community is so messy bruh,” Brown tweeted.
“Like yall pick sides if it’s not your favorite player. Weird behavior fr.”
“It’s like high school all over again 🤣. This isn’t even my fight to fight. Yall speculate instead of taking what the person just said. Then go on your pages and create articles until the national media catches it. Yall always be blaming the media and it’s really yall. 🤣🏁.”
There’s no known context about what Brown was referring to or why he was so worked up, which led to fans throwing shade right back at him on social media.
“Won a Super Bowl less than a month ago and this is going on already?” one fan asked.
“lol. Guy does [expletive] like this every other week. He’s mental. Slay is always talking. CJGJ is sensitive. Yet AJB comes off the top rope and blames the fans?” another fan declared.
“He's becoming a cancer on that team. Time to hand him over to Vrabel before it's too late,” a third fan proclaimed.
“All he does is complain,” remarked another.
"They won a Super Bowl one month ago… already back to fighting with the fans. Insanely deranged people," one user replied.

Brown has had his three best seasons with the Eagles since joining them in a draft-day trade back in 2022, hitting the 1,000-yard mark every year along with matching his career-high in touchdowns (11) and setting a new career-best in receiving yards (1,496) during his first year with the club.
However, the 27-year-old has had a hot-and-cold relationship with the organization and its fans ever since, mostly because of his usually deleted social-media rants.
Brown has been linked to New England Patriots in trade discussions this offseason. If the speculation is true, there’s a chance Brown could be reunited with new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who was Brown’s head coach for his first three NFL seasons with the Tennessee Titans.
