Leonard Fournette criticizes Jalen Hurts over A.J. Brown trade

A.J. Brown's recent trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots is generating controversy, particularly regarding his relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts. Former Super Bowl champion Leonard Fournette has publicly blamed Hurts for Brown's departure, suggesting that Hurts’ unwillingness to throw to him affected his production. Brown's performance dropped during his last season with the Eagles, and an ESPN report indicated he felt sidelined in the offense. Hurts addressed the speculation about his relationship with Brown, emphasizing a focus on the team moving forward. The Patriots traded multiple picks, including a future first-rounder, to secure Brown.
