It might not mean anything, but then again, the AJ Brown saga with the Philadelphia Eagles remains a hot topic heading into the 2026 NFL season.
Since Brown’s wedding took place last weekend, among those not in attendance was Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, according to TMZ.
It’s unknown if Hurts received an invitation to Saturday’s event at Montage Laguna Beach in California, or if he sent his teammate a gift for his big day.

The outlet also reported that there were no Eagles teammates at the wedding, although it noted that it was also not known if they were also invited. Former Eagles teammate Darius Slay was in attendance.
Either way, the absence of Hurts, or any current Eagles player, simply adds to the mysterious status of Brown and the franchise, as rumors have been circulating all offseason.
AJ BROWN TRADE RUMORS: LATEST NEWS ON EAGLES STAR WIDE RECEIVER
The main theme for those speculating about Brown is that he will be traded to a new team before the year begins. And it could be coming very soon with rumors saying he could move on June 1, as NFL contracts become more flexible in terms of making trades.
The New England Patriots, who lost in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks last season, have been hanging on to those rumors all along. Many believe they would be a top candidate to land Brown, that is, if the Eagles decide it’s best to move on from their Pro Bowl receiver.
What isn’t a rumor is Brown’s frustration with his role in Philadelphia, especially last season under offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who was fired from his position heading into 2026. Throughout the season, Brown made direct, as well as subtle, comments about his usage even as the Eagles were preparing to make the playoffs.

When they got there, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the reigning Super Bowl champions in the Wild Card Round at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
During the year, Brown did everything from calling the Eagles a “shit show” during a Twitch live stream to making jokes about their use during streamed Madden games.
In the case of Brown’s wedding, Hurts’ absence is also worth noting considering the caller is the godfather of the recipient’s daughter, Jersee. They have a long-standing friendship that began before their time together in Philadelphia.
Brown’s production immediately skyrocketed when he was traded to the Eagles ahead of the 2022 season, totaling 1,496 yards on 88 receptions with a career-high 11 touchdowns while catching passes from Hurts for the first time. He followed that up with 1,456 yards on 106 receptions and seven touchdowns in 2023, his second straight Pro Bowl season.

The Eagles ended up defeating the Kansas City Chiefs during the 2024 campaign, but Brown saw his production drop to 67 receptions for 1,079 yards despite scoring seven times once again. The addition of All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley, who won Offensive Player of the Year in 2024, impacted the need to throw the ball.
Brown then had his lowest yardage production since his 2021 season in last year’s performance for the Eagles, totaling 1,003 on 78 grabs with seven touchdowns.
