Early Exit in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing wide receiver Hollywood Brown after the player requested to leave. The two sides agreed on a non injury settlement, which gives financial relief to the team.
Brown signed a contract for one year worth 5 million dollars this past offseason. He arrived alongside Dontayvion Wicks, Elijah Moore, and Makai Lemon to help support DeVonta Smith after A.J. Brown was traded to the New England Patriots.
Limited Action on the Field
Things did not go as planned for the 29 year old receiver. Even with injuries to Smith and Wicks, Brown did not secure a major role in the offense.
He played in just four games with one start over the first half of the season. Brown recorded five catches for 63 yards on eight targets. Every single one of his five receptions earned a first down for the team, but his overall involvement remained low.
Eagles Cover Options and Player Reaction
Philadelphia felt comfortable moving on from Brown because DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are returning from their injuries soon. In addition, Darius Cooper and rookie receiver Makai Lemon have stepped up as reliable options.
Brown spoke about his reduced role back in October when trade questions came up. He said that he would not have handled it well as a younger guy, but added that it was God's plan. He noted that while anyone wants to play where they are, it was not his plan at the end of the day.
Eight Years in the League
This departure ends a short period in Philadelphia for the veteran wide receiver. Across his eight years in the league, Brown has played for the Baltimore Ravens, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, and the Eagles.
During his time with the Chiefs in 2025, he managed 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns. Now, Brown will look for another opportunity elsewhere.
