Eagles Waive Marquise Brown After 4 Games In Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles are parting with wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown after the two sides agreed a split would help both, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported.

The team made the move official Friday and announced it had also waived offensive tackle Fred Johnson.

"Sources: The #Eagles are waiving WR Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown, as both sides agreed it would be beneficial for all involved," Schultz wrote on X on Thursday night. "Brown had 49 catches for 587 yards and 5 TDs with the #Chiefs last season and is expected to land with a playoff contender."

Brown has not yet found a new team, though Schultz expects a contender to sign him. Any team can claim him because every player is subject to waivers once the trade deadline passes.

The Eagles announced the moves: "We have waived WR Marquise Brown and T Fred Johnson."

Brown, 29, signed a one-year contract with Philadelphia on March 20. He appeared in four games for the team and caught five passes for 63 yards this season.

He was targeted once in his final game and turned that lone look into a 16-yard catch over 35 snaps.

That game was a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants that dropped the Eagles to 2-7. Philadelphia has lost seven straight games and is on its third starting quarterback.

Starter Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season with blood clots before Tanner McKee took over.

Joe Milton then lost his first start as the Eagles' quarterback in Week 9 against the Giants. Philadelphia also traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars at the deadline.

The Baltimore Ravens selected Brown in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Brown posted his lone 1,000-yard season in 2021 with 91 catches for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns. The Ravens sent him to the Arizona Cardinals in a 2022 trade, and he played two seasons in Arizona.

Brown played two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, appearing in two games for them in 2024.

Brown caught 49 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games for Kansas City in 2025. He has 371 receptions for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns over seven NFL seasons.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who added no receiver at the trade deadline, are 6-2 and sit lower in the waiver order.

The Eagles have eight games left to play on their schedule once their bye week ends. Philadelphia returns to action against the Steelers in Week 11 after the bye.
