Eagles to release WR Hollywood Brown, per his request
Say goodbye to Philadelphia.
Receiver Hollywood Brown, who was commercially available but had no takers, will now be released at his requestvia Tim McManus of ESPN.
Through a “no-harm agreement” (which presumably includes Brown waiving his right to severance pay), Brown will be released. With the trade deadline having passed, Brown’s contract will be subject to waivers.
Brown signed a one-year contract with a $3.7 million signing bonus and a base salary of $1.3 million. In addition to waiving his right to severance pay, Brown eventually agreed to return some of the bonus money.
A first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, Brown played in just four games for the Eagles, with one start. He caught five passes for 63 yards.
Brown spent three years with the Ravens. In 2022, he was traded to the Cardinals. After two seasons in Arizona, he spent 2024 and 2025 with the Chiefs.
The minimum base salary could entice another team to file a waiver claim — especially if that team was willing to pay more than the prorated minimum to add him to the roster for the remainder of the season.
Brown’s best year came in 2021, with 91 catches for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
