Philadelphia Eagles’ wideout AJ Brown appeared to call out his former side the Tennessee Titans after San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel reportedly received a contract extension worth $71.6million Sunday.
Samuel became the latest NFL star receiver to land an extension when he reportedly agreed a three-year deal with the 49ers.
Samuel joined Stefon Diggs, Cooper Kupp, DK Metcalf, Terry McLaurin and DJ Moore on the list of wideouts who reportedly signed deals worth over $20 million a year while staying with the same team.

However, not all receivers who cashed in this summer have stayed with the same team.
Brown received a four-year $100m extension when he was traded from the Tennessee Titans to the Eagles.
And the 25-year-old appears to still be feeling a bit bitter as he took to social media after the reports of Samuel’s massive deal broke Sunday night.

Brown had faced criticism from fans throughout the 2022 offseason with many disgruntled with the fact he was skipping the team’s workouts while awaiting a new contract.
Even following his departure from the Titans, Brown felt the need to hit back at critics.
In May, he released a statement revealing he had received threats from fans after he left the team.

He apologized for letting supporters down but insisted he had to put himself and his family first.
Last month, he also did not hold back when he responded to a fan who branded him a ‘villain’.
‘For the love of God, I was the best receiver to play for your franchise,’ Brown wrote. ‘Shut up and move on. You mad at the wrong person.’
