A.J. Brown is a household name and one of the premier wide receivers in the NFL. Since joining the Philadelphia Eagles, Brown has continued to put up monster numbers and help the team contend. While Brown is clearly an elite receiver, is he paid like one? Let’s examine his salary, contract, and net worth.
A.J. Brown’s Contract and Salary
After Brown’s trade to the Eagles in 2022, Philly signed him to a lucrative four-year, $100 million contract extension.
Brown’s deal included a $19.875 million signing bonus and guaranteed the WR $51 million at signing.
Brown signed another extension last offseason, this one for three years and worth up to $96 million, making him the NFL’s third-highest-paid receiver.
Brown is earning $32 million annually — the only wideouts making more are Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb ($34 million) and Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson ($35 million).
When discussing his latest contract, Brown said: “It’s been a huge blessing… Just God having this favor on my life since I was little. It’s tough to understand at times… This is something that just kind of stumbled up on. But God gives us free will, and of course, I have been doing what I’m supposed to be doing, working hard.”
