Hollywood Brown, Eagles reportedly agree to one-year contract

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free agent broad receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to a one-year contract value “up to” $6.5 million, in accordance to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Brown, who turns 29 in June, was usually thought to be an Eagles goal main up to the 2019 NFL Draft. The Birds traded up to No. 22 to choose Andre Dillard (whoops), nevertheless, and the Baltimore Ravens ended up taking Brown with Philly’s authentic first-round slot at No. 25.

The 5’9″, 166 pound Brown spent three seasons in Baltimore before asking out due to being unhappy with the Ravens’ run-heavy offense (hmm …). He was traded to the Arizona Cardinals and spent two years there before signing with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. Brown missed most of that season due to injury but played 16 games in 2025, logging 74 targets for 49 receptions, 587 yards (12.0 average), and five touchdowns. Brown drew a 101.6 passer rating when targeted last season. He ranked 46th out of 91 wide receivers in yards per route run (for context: AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith were 19th and 20th, respectively).

With Jahan Dotson leaving in free company after largely being ineffective in Philly, the Eagles wanted a brand new third receiver. They reportedly had interest in Darnell Mooney earlier than he selected the New York Giants as an alternative. Now they’ve a brand new speedy veteran receiver in Brown.

Of course, it remains to be seen if Hollywood will actually be WR3 or if what seems like an inevitable AJ Brown trade will bump him up to WR2, which would be less ideal.
