Eagles release Hollywood Brown amid Week 10 bye

Brown arrived in Philadelphia on a one-year deal in March. He was expected to bring much-needed vertical speed to the offense. However, injuries and instability at quarterback prevented him from making a meaningful impact in Philly’s offense. Across four appearances, the 29-year-old managed just five receptions for 63 yards and no touchdowns. His departure also comes amid a broader roster reshaping under general manager Howie Roseman. The Eagles recently traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for future first- and second-round draft capital.

Brown’s NFL journey began when Baltimore selected him 25th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. He developed into Lamar Jackson’s primary deep threat. He recorded a career-high 91 catches for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns in 2021. After a 2022 trade to Arizona, he spent two seasons with the Cardinals before joining Kansas City. A sternoclavicular injury limited his 2024 campaign. However, he returned to Kansas City in 2025. His brief Philadelphia stint now leaves him seeking another opportunity. If he clears waivers, Brown will become an unrestricted free agent and could attract a contender looking for downfield speed.
