Where will Hollywood Brown land after being waived by Eagles?

The NFL trade deadline has passed, but the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly still making subtractions from their roster.

According to a report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz on Thursday night, the Eagles are going to waive wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown. Schultz reports that both sides agreed it would be "beneficial for all sides" involved.

He has caught five passes for 63 yards in four games this season.

When that moves become official, the big question will be where he lands for his next destination. 

There are a handful of teams that immediately stand out as options.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams are one of the most obvious potential landing spots given the injuries to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The Rams are hopeful that Adams can return sooner rather than later, but Nacua is going on IR and is going to miss an extended period of time. 

It's a big hit to the depth chart, which should put the Rams in the market for pretty much any playable wide receiver that becomes available. 

The fact the Rams are a Super Bowl contender, have Myles Garrett back on defense, and still have a high-level quarterback in Matthew Stafford should also make them an attractive landing spot for Brown.

Kansas City Chiefs

Brown has obvious familiarity with the Chiefs having spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons there, but he missed almost all of the 2024 season due to injury. He caught 49 passes for 587 yards a year ago. 

Wide receiver depth has been a constant problem for the Chiefs in recent years, but they did just trade for former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs before the trade deadline. Is that enough? Could they still use more help?

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers might have one of the worst wide receiver rooms of any likely playoff team in the NFL, and they did not do anything to address it at the trade deadline.

DK Metcalf makes a lot of money, but has struggled with consistency and not quite made an impact.

Michael Pittman Jr. has had an injury-plagued season and there is no guarantee on when he will be back or how much of an impact he can make when he is.

Germie Bernard is an intriguing rookie, but is still proving himself to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

After that, it is just a bunch of question marks. 

They have been mentioned as a potential Brandon Aiyuk landing spot if the San Francisco 49ers eventually release him, but that seems like a low reward for a big risk. Brown might be able to contribute a little more if it comes to that.
