“Not as long as I’m the head coach.”
That was Titans coach Mike Vrabel’s response in his final 2021 interview when he was asked if there was a possibility that A.J. Brown could be traded.
Less than a year later, Brown can potentially be the difference-maker for the Philadelphia Eagles in their Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
New York Jets fans would do well to keep this in mind with regard to Lamar Jackson. The excitement and speculation regarding a potential Jackson trade died down when Ravens coach John Harbaugh stated there was a 200% chance the quarterback would remain in Baltimore.
