With the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2026 outlook not looking so bright at the moment, the trade chatter around the team has started to widen beyond the obvious names.
Saquon Barkley has drawn plenty of attention, but Hollywood Brown has also surfaced as a player who could be on the move. According to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Brown is “a name that teams seeking [wide receiver] help believe could be traded in the coming weeks,”
The sense here is that Brown’s camp is trying to generate interest and find him a landing spot where he can get more playing time than he has in Philadelphia. From the Eagles’ side, Howie Roseman would likely prefer to get something back for Brown in a deal rather than end up cutting him.
The problem is that a market for him may not be strong.
Brown had a rough stretch in offseason practices, and that showed up in the early part of the season. He was active in Week 1 but did not play a snap. In Week 2, the Eagles tried to get him involved with a few designed touches, but he still logged only 17 snaps.
After that, Brown missed the next three games because of an ankle injury. He was not on the final injury report heading into Week 6, but the Eagles still made him inactive as a healthy scratch behind six active receivers: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, and Britain Covey.
That leaves Brown without a clear role in Philly, and the situation points in one direction. He appears to want a fresh start, while the Eagles may have to settle for very little in return. Brown signed a one-year, $5 million contract earlier this year, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the team ends up having to cut him instead of trading him.

Eagles Fans Suddenly Have Real Reason To Watch Shane Steichen
The Colts decision to fire general manager Chris Ballard after a sluggish start has inevitably put Shane Steichen back in the spotlight, and for Eagles fans, it is a familiar one. Steichen spent two seasons as Philadelphias offensive coordinator in 2021-22, when the offense grew into one of the leagues most dangerous units, and he has spent the last four years trying to steady things in Indianapolis as head coach.
Steichens overall record there sits at 27-30, and with the Colts now resetting in the front office, his future is suddenly a talking point again. If Indianapolis eventually makes a bigger change, Philadelphia would be a natural place to wonder about a reunion, especially with the Eagles still searching for answers on offense and the old connection to Steichen never far from the surface.

Eagles Week 7 Showdown Could Change Who Survives This Collapse
The Eagles season has already veered into survival mode, and the next stretch figures to tell a lot about who, if anyone, gets to keep their footing once the losses stop piling up. At 2-4 and in the middle of a four-game skid, Philadelphia has seen the margin for error shrink fast, with a number of familiar faces suddenly under the microscope as the frustration around the roster and coaching staff keeps growing.
Saquon Barkley, Landon Dickerson, Offensive Coordinator Sean Mannion and Head Coach Nick Sirianni are all part of the conversation now, because a collapsing season tends to turn every week into a referendum. Week 7 looms as the kind of checkpoint that can change the tone around the building, and for some in the organization, it may also change how long their jobs are safe. [Read more 🡒]
Cowboys Suddenly Have A Real Opening In The NFC East
The NFC East has spent the last couple of weeks looking anything but sturdy, with all four teams hitting the kind of rough patch that makes every divisional game feel bigger than usual. The latest reminder came in the form of a tie between Washington and New York, a result that only added to the sense that nobody in this group is seizing control. Dallas, sitting at 2-4, has at least kept itself in the mix, and the standings have left the Cowboys with a real path to move up if things break their way.
Philadelphia enters the matchup dealing with a major setback at quarterback, which only sharpens the stakes for a Cowboys team trying to take advantage of the moment. The Giants are technically on top for now, but their own issues are piling up, including the loss of Jaxson Dart and a tough date with the Texans ahead. In a division this messy, even one good night can shift the picture quickly, and Dallas suddenly has a chance to make the most of it. [Read more 🡒]
