A.J. Brown said his relationship with Jalen Hurts is "not as close as we once were" after Philadelphia traded him to New England.
Brown said there is "no bad blood" and blamed the distance on the two simply growing apart, adding that nothing happened between them or their families.
The Eagles sent Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, ending a partnership that had drawn attention since their college ties.
For New England, Brown fills the No. 1 receiver role after Stefon Diggs' offseason exit and gives quarterback Drake Maye a new top target.
