It was two years ago when the Eagles signed receiver A.J. Brown to a new contract, and now we find ourselves analyzing another extension for the star athlete. This time around, it’s a three-year extension that adds three more years to the existing contract that he had in place.
The full details of the extension have been revealed by a source who is familiar with the terms. The signing bonus for this deal is an impressive $19.875 million, and it outlines specifics for base salaries, option bonuses, and offseason workout bonuses from 2024 to 2029.
One of the key features of this contract is the practical guarantee of $80 million over its six-year duration. This ensures that Brown will remain with the Eagles for quite some time to come. The deal also guarantees him a minimum career earnings of $124 million, which provides him with financial security for years to come.
In addition to these guarantees, Brown’s new contract sets a new standard for receiver contracts in the NFL. With an impressive value at signing of $32 million per year, this makes it the highest total value at signing for any receiver in the league. Furthermore, his prior earnings were set at $21 million for this year (fully guaranteed), $16 million in 2025, and $31 million in 2026. Notably, this new deal removes all per-game roster bonuses that were previously included in his contract.
Overall, this six-year, $164 million deal is an impressive feat of negotiating prowess by both sides involved, setting a new standard for receiver contracts in the NFL while ensuring that one of their top players remains with them well into the future.
