Eagles Starting DT Quietly Donates $200K to Support Tyler Robinson’s Father

Philadelphia, PA — October 5, 2025 — The Philadelphia Eagles’ first defeat of the season, a 17-21 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 5, may have exposed more than just offensive shortcomings—it could signal a brewing rift within the locker room. The frustration boiled over as star wide receiver AJ Brown, visibly emotional on the sidelines, took to social media hours after the game with a cryptic post: “Sometimes loyalty isn’t enough. Sometimes you just want to feel needed.” That player, AJ Brown, has now become the epicenter of an emerging storm in Philadelphia. Multiple league insiders have confirmed that Brown has privately expressed interest in a trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers—a move he reportedly views as “a fresh start” alongside former college teammate DK Metcalf, in a system more geared toward passing. His discontent has been simmering since the season began, with his usage dropping sharply to just 16 receptions over five games, fueling frustration as the team leans heavily on its run game under Nick Sirianni’s offense.

After trading George Pickens to the Cowboys, Pittsburgh is seeking a dynamic boundary receiver to pair with DK Metcalf and provide Aaron Rodgers with another offensive weapon. Head coach Nick Sirianni declined to address Brown’s comments but stressed unity: “We win together, we lose together. Emotions run high, but our focus is on the next game.” Yet, the tension in Philadelphia is undeniable. Sunday’s disappointing loss may have ignited one of the season’s biggest trade possibilities—a move that could shake both the Eagles and Steelers before the midseason deadline.
