The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown during their bye week, ending his brief stint with the team after limited playing time early in the season.
Both sides agreed the move would be beneficial, reporter Jordan Schultz said Thursday, citing sources.
Brown played 17 offensive snaps and received no targets through the first six weeks of the season. He was unavailable in Week 6, and his only touches in that stretch were two carries for 12 yards in a Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans.
His first catches for Philadelphia came after receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks were injured. Brown caught five of eight targets for 63 yards over the ensuing three games. In the last of those, Sunday’s 19-11 home loss to the New York Giants, Brown played 35 offensive snaps, while rookie Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper each played 65.
The Eagles are 2-7 after seven straight losses, their longest losing streak since 2012.
Brown signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Philadelphia on March 20, Yahoo! News reported. He arrived to fill the third receiver spot left by Jahan Dotson, who signed with the Atlanta Falcons. Brown had 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns with the Kansas City Chiefs last season.
With the trade deadline having passed Tuesday, Brown must go through waivers. A team claiming him would take on the remaining portion of his $1.3 million base salary for 2026. If he goes unclaimed, he becomes a free agent.
