The Eagles’ Week 10 bye brought another roster shakeup, and this one sends a veteran receiver out of Philadelphia.
Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and the team have mutually agreed to a waiver, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The move opens the door for both sides to move on as the Eagles reportedly continue leaning toward younger developmental options for the rest of the 2026 season.
Brown signed a one-year deal in March with hopes of adding the kind of vertical burst this offense needed. Instead, injuries and shaky quarterback play kept him from making much of a dent. In four games, the 29-year-old finished with five catches for 63 yards and no touchdowns.
His exit also fits into a larger roster reset under general manager Howie Roseman. Philadelphia recently dealt defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for future first- and second-round draft capital.
Brown’s career started in Baltimore, where the Ravens took him 25th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. He grew into Lamar Jackson’s top deep threat and posted his best season in 2021, when he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
A 2022 trade sent him to Arizona, where he spent two seasons before moving on to Kansas City. A sternoclavicular injury cut into his 2024 season, but he returned to Kansas City in 2025.

Now his short stay in Philadelphia is over, and he’s looking for his next shot. If he clears waivers, Brown will become an unrestricted free agent and could draw interest from a contender in need of speed on the outside.

Eagles Draft Plans Are Already Pointing To A Sneaky Position Fit
The Eagles already have an extra first-round pick sitting in their 2027 draft stash after the Jordan Davis trade, and that kind of future flexibility tends to sharpen every conversation about roster building. Even with that long view in place, the more immediate intrigue is in the later rounds, where Philadelphia has a habit of finding useful pieces by leaning into fit, value and development rather than just chasing the obvious names.
A handful of under-the-radar college prospects are starting to look like the sort of players this front office could circle back to when the board thins out. Running back Jamal Roberts, cornerbacks Jamari Sharpe and Vicari Swain, edge rusher Anto Saka and tight end Andrew Rappleyea all bring traits that line up with different Eagles needs, which is exactly why they belong on the radar now. The bigger question is which of those fits becomes real when draft weekend arrives and Philadelphia starts turning its long-range planning into actual picks. [Read more 🡒]
Eagles Just Sent A Troubling Message About Their Passing Game
The Eagles have already moved on from Hollywood Brown, parting ways with the veteran wide receiver by mutual consent after a brief and quiet stint in Philadelphia. Signed to a one-year deal in March, Brown never found much traction in the offense, appearing in four games and finishing with five catches for 63 yards while the team continued to shuffle pieces around its receiver room.
Browns departure adds another layer to a passing game that has been searching for consistency, even with several other wideouts still on the roster and practice squad. Because of the timing of the release, he now goes through the waiver claim process, leaving open the possibility that another team could step in before Philadelphia gets any chance to revisit the move.

Eagles Offense Looks Broken As Bye Week Puts Sean Mannion On Spot
The bye week has arrived at a useful time for an Eagles offense that has looked stuck in neutral, and the numbers back up the concern. Philadelphia sits last in the NFL in total offense, which puts a spotlight on offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and the adjustments he can make before the next game. The conversation around the unit is not about one tweak anymore, but whether the Eagles need to rethink how they are lining up and how they are trying to create space.
One possible change is at left guard, where Landon Dickerson could give way to Willie Lampkin, while rookie tight end Eli Stowers could see more snaps as the team looks for a different kind of spark than it has gotten from Dallas Goedert. There is also a growing push for more deep pass plays, a simple idea that could help restore some explosiveness to an attack that has been too easy to sit on. The bye gives Mannion a chance to sort through those options, and the next stretch will show whether the Eagles are willing to make the kind of changes their offense seems to need. [Read more 🡒]
