A.J. Brown knew exactly what he was doing.
He posted an Instagram video with the caption, "The wait is finally over."
Then, in his video, Brown held up a jersey. It had his No. 11 on it.
The problem? It was a Patriots jersey.
Could the Eagles have traded their star wide receiver, and he himself was breaking the news in a social media video?
But Brown only let the prank last for a few seconds.
He turned it around to show that it was a Patriots jersey of Julian Edelman. It was autographed.

"I play too much," Brown said with a smile. "I have fun."
Brown also received a signed Tom Brady jersey, less of a prank since Brady wore No. 12, not Brown's 11.
"Don't take me serious," Brown said in the video, likely directed at Eagles fans.
Brown caught a touchdown during the Eagles' 40-22 Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.
During the regular season, he caught 67 passes for 1,079 yards and seven scores.
Brown is entering the second season of a three-year, $96 million contract extension, which was tacked on to his prior deal and could keep Brown in Philadelphia through 2029.
Don't worry, Eagles fans. A.J. Brown isn't going anywhere.
