That may not mean anything, but then again, the AJ Brown saga with the Philadelphia Eagles remains a hot topic heading into the 2026 NFL season.
While Brown’s wedding took place last weekend, among those absent was Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, according to TMZ.
It’s unclear 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, while noting that it was also unclear if they were also invited. A former Eagles teammate, Darius Slay, was in attendance.
Regardless, the no-show of Hurts, or any other current Eagles player, simply adds to the mysterious status of Brown and the franchise as rumors have swirled all offseason.
AJ BROWN TRADE RUMORS: LATEST NEWS ON EAGLES STAR WIDE RECEIVER
The main argument of those speculating about Brown is that he will be traded to a new team before the start of the year. And that could happen very soon with rumors that he could leave on June 1 as NFL contracts become more flexible in terms of transactions.
The New England Patriots, who lost in Super Bowl LX to the Seattle Seahawks last season, have always been attached to these rumors. 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, particularly last season under offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who was fired from his position before 2026. Throughout the season, Brown has made both direct and subtle remarks about his usage despite the Eagles preparing to reach the playoffs.

Upon arrival, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the defending Super Bowl champions in the Wild Card Round at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Over the course of the year, Brown has done everything from calling the Eagles a “s— show” during a Twitch live stream to making jokes about its use during streamed games of Madden.
In the case of Brown’s marriage, the absence of Hurts is also worth noting, given that 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 a career-high 1,496 yards on 88 catches with 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 catches for 1,079 yards despite scoring seven more. The addition of All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley, who won Offensive Player of the Year in 2024, has impacted the need to throw the football.
Then, Brown recorded the lowest yardage production since his 2021 season during his performance last year for the Eagles, totaling 1,003 on 78 catches with seven touchdowns.
