WATCH: With contract extension in hand, A.J. Brown says he’ll retire as an Eagle

A.J. Brown is back in Philadelphia as the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history after signing his new three-year, $96 million extension with the Eagles.

Brown had 106 catches for 1,456 yards and seven touchdowns last season, setting a team record for receptions in a season by a wideout, while his running mate DeVonta Smith logged 81 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns.

After signing his deal, Brown had a message for fans: When he hangs his cleats up, he’ll retire as an Eagle.
