Eagles add dynamic playmaker — what it could mean for A.J. Brown?
· Yahoo Sports
The Eagles signed former Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed Brown’s signing to NJ.com. The person requested anonymity because the deal hasn’t been announced.
No, this addition doesn’t mean the Eagles are any closer to trading three-time All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown. While that might happen this offseason, Hollywood Brown is not a replacement-level player for A.J. Brown. He’s better suited as a No. 3 wide receiver on a top NFL offense and could become the Eagles’ starting slot wide receiver next season.

Brown had 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 2025 for Kansas City. He could be an upgrade over former Eagles slot wideout Jahan Dotson, who signed a two-year deal with the Falcons in free agency.
The former Chief can be a deep threat for Philadelphia’s offense. He has 4.3 speed, beating cornerbacks and safeties over the top if he gets off the line of scrimmage.
His speed has never been an issue. The 2019 first-round pick has limitations due to his lack of size (5-9, 180 pounds) and frequently gets banged up, missing most of the 2024 season with a shoulder injury.
In 2021, Brown finished with 1,008 receiving yards and six touchdowns for the Ravens, but he has struggled to match that consistency over the last four years. He adds something to the Eagles’ offense, and on a one-year contract, it’s not a bad signing.
During the first seven years of his career, Brown has caught 371 passes for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns, which are solid but not great numbers. The Eagles needed to add a veteran wide receiver to improve the depth of the room, and Brown was one of the best options left in free agency.
