Eagles are waiving former 1,000-yard receiver

An interesting pass-catcher is about to be up for grabs.

The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving veteran wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz revealed on Thursday. Schultz adds that both sides have agreed the move would be beneficial and noted that Brown is now expected to land with a playoff contender.

Brown, 29, is an eight-year NFL veteran who is known for his deep-threat ability. He was a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2019 (No. 25 overall) and produced 1,008 receiving yards for them during the 2021 season.

But Brown has become something of a forgotten name over the last few years. He missed most of the 2024 season due to a sternoclavicular injury and was a secondary target for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, catching 49 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns.

Brown then signed with the Eagles last offseason but managed to haul in just five catches for 63 yards and zero touchdowns over four games played. With Philadelphia reeling at 2-7 amid Jalen Hurts’ season-ending injury and a subsequent trade deadline sell-off, they now are giving Brown the opportunity to find a better situation.

The former Oklahoma Sooners star Brown did once earn some notable praise from Patrick Mahomes. But after failing to win a Super Bowl ring during his time with the Chiefs, it looks like Brown may be getting another shot with a title hopeful this year.
