Despite winning the Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles are still surrounded by speculation about locker room tension and media drama, whether it’s linked to front office moves, like losing several free agents, or possible internal issues.
The latest involves two big names who’ve dealt with public scrutiny before: Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown. Hurts didn’t attend Brown’s engagement party, which kicked off debate online about whether there’s trouble between the two.
Jalen Hurts Absent From A.J. Brown’s Engagement Party
The relationship between Hurts and Brown has drawn media attention in recent months. The first sign of tension popped up after an Eagles win over the Carolina Panthers, when Brown expressed frustration with the offense, especially the passing game. That stirred rumors of friction between the receiver and his quarterback.
Then, veteran defensive end Brandon Graham added fuel during an interview, saying that while the two were friends, “something happened,” and disagreements were part of any relationship. His comments stirred more drama, though both players denied any falling-out, and Graham later apologized, saying he misspoke.
The latest twist came when Hurts was noticeably missing from Brown’s engagement party, an event attended by several other Eagles players.
“Oh Boy: Many Eagles fans are concerned that Jalen Hurts was not in attendance at AJ Brown’s engagement party despite multiple Eagles players being there. Trouble may be brewing in Philly…” Dov Kleiman tweeted.
Fans on X voiced concern, speculating that Hurts might not have been invited or that something might be going on between the two.
“Idc what yall talking about I wanna know why Jalen Hurts wasn’t at Aj Brown engagement party,” one user wrote.
“Jalen Hurts not at AJ Brown’s engagement party.. something is going on with that friendship. Danny Garcia is there bruh and Jalen isn’t. Very Telling,” said another.
Other fans shrugged off the incident.
“Probably a scheduling conflict.”
Hurts’ absence is definitely worth noting, but it’s unclear whether he wasn’t invited or just couldn’t make it. Still, considering the recent history between the two, it’s understandable why fans are raising eyebrows, especially with the Eagles heading into 2025 as one of the early Super Bowl favorites.
One thing often missed in all the rumors is that Hurts is the godfather of Brown’s daughter, a clear sign of their close personal connection. Both players have publicly said there’s no rift, and if there’s any tension, it likely comes from on-field competition, not personal issues.
Whether this is a case of social media overreaction or something more, the Eagles are still among the top teams heading into the new season. The Hurts-Brown connection remains a major reason why Philadelphia is poised to defend its title and keep contending.
