Jason Kelce addresses latest Eagles, A.J. Brown drama

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown once again generated headlines when he said during a Tuesday night stream that he was dealing with a "sh-- show" outside of his personal life. 

On Wednesday, Brown stood by his comments when he revealed he was "not apologizing" for venting his apparent frustrations regarding the Philadelphia offense. During a Thursday appearance on Philadelphia's 94WIP Sports Radio, Eagles legend and current ESPN personality Jason Kelce addressed the latest Brown-related matter. 

Is Jason Kelce worried about latest A.J. Brown comments? 

"It's not as big of a deal as the media is making it to be," Kelce said, per Patrick McAvoy of Sports Illustrated. "I think that there's frustrations. I think that in the game of football, there's constantly frustrations building up within teams, within position groups, within coaches and players, and these are things that are always, that's the course of a season, the course of a relationship in this game. I think it is being made a bigger deal than it actually is."

Brown has a lengthy history of speaking publicly and openly about wanting "to contribute" more during games. He offered his latest comments after he recorded just two catches for 13 yards on three targets in Philadelphia's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. 

While that victory improved the reigning Super Bowl champions to 7-2 on the season, Brown said on Tuesday that fantasy football owners should "get rid of me." On Wednesday, head coach Nick Sirianni insisted things were "business as usual" for the Eagles behind the scenes following Brown's latest complaints. 

Does Jason Kelce think A.J. Brown is a distraction for the Eagles?

"...It has been a distraction," Kelce acknowledged about the Brown saga that goes back to last season. "I think that is very true. But you're constantly being distracted. There are constantly, especially in today's age, there are going to be media reports, people crushing this player, crushing your coach, people saying, 'You suck.'"

"[Brown is] a very well-liked person in that building," Kelce added. "He was a great teammate in my time there. I understand his frustrations. I understand the offense's frustrations. The game is a very hard sport. That position, in particular, is very reliant on multiple people. It's a very frustrating position to play at times. I think that, all in all, none of this makes me think any less of A.J. as a teammate."

Kelce also thinks the Eagles "will be very good moving forward" just as they were last season, when alleged issues between Brown and quarterback Jalen Hurts didn't prevent the club from winning the Super Bowl. 

For now, Sirianni will do whatever he can to help Brown and Co. focus on this coming Sunday night's home game versus the Detroit Lions (6-3). It could be interesting to see how often Hurts targets Brown in the contest's first half following the events of the past few days.
