Eagles Reportedly Waiving Former Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown

Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is reportedly headed for waivers after four appearances with the Philadelphia Eagles.

NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported Thursday night, via Chiefs Wire, that Philadelphia is waiving Brown after both sides agreed to part ways. Schultz reported that Brown is expected to land with a playoff contender.

Brown signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in March after spending the previous two seasons in Kansas City. He caught five passes for 63 yards on eight targets with Philadelphia, according to RotoWire. He also carried the ball twice for 12 yards.

His last appearance for Philadelphia came in Sunday’s 19-11 loss to the New York Giants. Brown played 35 offensive snaps and caught his only target for 16 yards. The loss dropped the Eagles to 2-7 entering their bye week.

Brown had a much bigger role with the Chiefs last season. He caught 49 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 2025, his second year in Kansas City. His most productive NFL season came with the Baltimore Ravens in 2021, when he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards.

The Ravens drafted Brown in the first round in 2019 and traded him to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. He spent two seasons in Arizona before signing with Kansas City in 2024. Philadelphia was his fourth NFL team.

Kansas City has already made a move at wide receiver this week. The Chiefs acquired Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts at the trade deadline, adding another target for Patrick Mahomes as they enter Week 10 at 6-2.

Downs has already made a positive first impression with his new teammates as Kansas City prepares to visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Brown’s time with Mahomes gives him familiarity with the Chiefs’ offense, but Schultz’s report did not identify Kansas City as a potential destination.

Tuesday’s trade deadline has passed, so Brown will go through waivers. If a team claims him, it takes over the remainder of his contract. If he clears, he can sign with any club.

That gives teams looking for receiving help another option for the stretch run. Brown’s five catches in Philadelphia were a small part of his season, and his production with Kansas City a year ago shows what he did in a much larger role.
