Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown agreed to a three-year, $96 million extension, with $84 million in guaranteed money, per multiple media reports Thursday.

The Eagles announced the agreement Thursday but did not release monetary details.

The reported $84 million guaranteed would be the most at Brown's position in NFL history — eclipsing the guaranteed $77 million that the Detroit Lions are giving Amon-Ra St. Brown. At $32 million per season, Brown would be the highest paid receiver in the NFL and is under contract with the Eagles through 2029.

Brown, 26, is coming off his third Pro Bowl season during which he caught a career-high 106 passes for 1,456 yards and seven scores. He was also named second-team All-Pro while setting an NFL record with six straight games of 125-plus receiving yards.

Brown's deal means the Eagles have their two star wideouts under long-term contracts. after DeVonta Smith signed a three-year, $75 million ($51 million guaranteed) extension earlier this month. Smith's deal runs through 2028.

After acquiring Brown from the Tennessee Titans in 2022, the Eagles signed him to a four-year, $100 million extension. Brown has 18 total touchdowns and over 1,400 receiving yards in each of his two seasons with Philadelphia.
