AJ Brown has been a member of the New England Patriots for just over two months after he was traded by the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Wednesday, the Patriots hosted the Eagles for a joint prctice session, and Brown was asked if he had any conversations with quarterback Jalen Hurts since the trade.
Brown had a simple, one-word answer: “No.”

Brown: “No.”
The writing had been on the wall for an A.J. Brown trade for the entire offseason, and things finally got done in June due to the salary cap help.
As for Brown’s relationship with Hurts, that was a complicated situation. Brown threw Hurts under the bus in October after a missed deep ball during a game.
Then, a report surfaced in the spring that Hurts was holding back the offense, with other teammates repportedly expressing their frustratuon with the quarterback.
Hurts then had a viral moment when he took a sip after being asked a question about Brown this offseason.

“Picked the right question to sip on, huh?” 😅
Hurts later added: “There’s an ‘if’ — obviously, it’s been a lingering thing. But nothing can replace all the greatness that we achieved together.” pic.twitter.com/9lFrUh26w3
There seems to be plenty of drama between these two sides. The Patriots and Eagles face each other in the second preseason game on Saturday, although it remains to be seen how much either star will play.
