When asked if he’d taken part in a reported players-only meeting with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley earlier in the week, Brown replied, "I don’t recall a meeting," a line that prompted a swirl of media coverage.

The Eagles may need a meeting to get their story straight. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley and receiver AJ Brown met Monday to reportedly discuss the offensive issues plaguing their championship offense — only Brown bizarrely denied it happened.

The Eagles allowed veteran defensive linemen in Josh Sweat (five sacks with Arizona) and Milton Williams (a star with the Patriots) to leave in free agency in order to create salary cap space for young players eligible for second contracts, like defensive tackle Jalen Carter, in coming seasons.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley both said they met with Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown recently to talk about how to fix the offense. After the offense did not look fixed in Thursday night’s loss to the Giants, Brown disputed meeting with his teammates.

Brown avoided the topic Thursday, but he followed up with a post on X Friday. “I said ‘I don’t recall’ because it got painted like there was tension and [Barkley] had to step in. That's not true."
