Philadelphia Eagles Sign Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown: Adding Speed and Experience to the Receiving Corps
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed free agent wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to a one-year contract worth “up to” $6.5 million. Brown, who is 29 years old, was previously considered a target for the Eagles before the 2019 NFL Draft. He spent three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before being traded to the Arizona Cardinals and then signing with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. Brown missed most of the 2024 season due to injury but had a productive 2025 season with 49 receptions, 587 yards, and five touchdowns. He ranked 46th out of 91 wide receivers in yards per route run last season.
With Jahan Dotson leaving in free agency, the Eagles needed a new third receiver. They were interested in Darnell Mooney before he signed with the New York Giants. Now, they have added the speedy veteran receiver Brown to their roster. It remains to be seen if Brown will be the WR3 or if a potential A.J. Brown trade will impact his role on the team.
The signing of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown brings experience and speed to the Eagles' receiving corps. It will be interesting to see how he fits into the team's offensive scheme and if he can contribute to the passing game effectively.
