Howie Roseman pulled off a grand heist when he brought star receiver A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles, and now the Tennessee Titans look even more silly after their former first-round pick was cut from the team.
The Philadelphia Eagles have become known around the NFL for being elite at evaluating talent whether it be through the NFL Draft or acquiring superstars via free agency or trades.
In fact, general manager Howie Roseman has built a squad that has become the envy of the rest of the league, especially when it comes to selecting top players that fall to Philadelphia in the draft.
One of Roseman's most high-profile trades though came back in 2022 when the Tennessee Titans traded away A.J. Brown to the Birds in exchange for a handful of draft picks that included the first-round pick that eventually became wide receiver Treylon Burks.

While Brown is still an elite receiver that has elevated the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts slinging him the ball, Burks was recently released by the Titans after only managing to record one touchdown in his career.
Philadelphia has a tendency of rescuing elite players from other teams though, especially on the offensive side of the football. Last season, Roseman and Co. brought in Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants as a free agent and he went on to surpass 2,000 yards in his debut campaign at Lincoln Financial Field.
