Philadelphia Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown is open to striking a deal with whoever stole his car.

Brown, in a now-deleted post on his Instagram Stories and X on Monday, said the thief arrived at 3:42 a.m. and had the car stolen by 3:45 a.m. He asked whoever took the vehicle to return it before he pressed charges.

“Dear Philly — to whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you…. Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be,” Brown said. “Take it or leave it my guy.”

Brown said he knew where the car was “right now,” but didn’t offer how he had that information.

Though Brown shouted out Philadelphia, the theft didn’t happen in the city, local police told NBC10.

Brown — who according to a feature on SJMag lives in South Jersey — didn’t reveal what car was stolen or where it was taken from.

The receiver was instrumental in helping the Eagles win last season's Super Bowl. A three-time Pro Bowler, he finished the 2024-25 season with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns.
