"Byproduct of the offense not playing up to the standard": Jason Kelce gives his verdict on A.J. Brown venting frustration

Jason Kelce gave his perspective on A.J. Brown’s frustration with the Philadelphia Eagles offense. He said on Thursday that the wideout’s complaints are a reflection of bigger issues rather than a personal gripe.

Kelce knows the wide receiver well, as they shared the same locker room for multiple seasons before he retired in 2024.

"I think A.J. has legitimate reasons to be frustrated," Kelce said, via Sports Radio 94WIP. "It's really hard when somebody's voicing something that's either of self interest or something about the offense, and that's not accurate. That's a bigger concern. ... I think everybody is aligned in thinking that we need to get A.J. Brown the ball more.

"But when the frustrations mount, when the performances aren't happening on the field, and then it starts coming out in either self-interest of how this offense can be better with my own performance, how it can be better with others' performance. This is a byproduct of the offense not playing up to the standard."

Jason Kelce thinks "A.J. has legitimate reasons to be frustrated".

Brown’s Twitch stream on Tuesday added fuel to the discussion. He joked about his production while revealing how much the unit’s stagnation has worn on him.

Eagles coach calls A.J. Brown’s comments "business as usual"

A.J. Brown’s production this season has been below the standard he has established throughout his career.

The Eagles offense has failed to create explosive passing opportunities consistently. The team's narrow victory over Green Bay on Monday highlighted those issues again. Drives stalled, timing was inconsistent and Brown was barely involved, catching two passes for 13 yards.

Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni described the noise around Brown as "business as usual" on Wednesday. He also acknowledged that opposing defenses have altered their approach to defending the receiver this season.

Brown admitted that his frustration stems from the offense’s inconsistency, not his individual numbers. He previously mentioned that the team’s reliance on defensive bailouts isn’t sustainable and that the offense needed to raise its level to help the team contend deep into the season.
