The Philadelphia Eagles have parted ways with wide receiver Hollywood Brown through a mutually agreed non-injury settlement, according to a report from ESPN’s Tim McManus. Brown’s time with the organization was marked by minimal offensive contributions and limited playing time.
During his stint with Philadelphia, Brown appeared in just four games with one start, accumulating eight targets that resulted in five receptions for 63 yards and no touchdowns. All five of his receptions resulted in first downs. He also recorded two rushing attempts for 12 yards. The lack of usage reflected a broader pattern where the Eagles offense did not prioritize involving Brown in its scheme.
Brown was signed to address offensive needs after the Eagles traded A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots during the offseason. He joined Philadelphia on a one-year, $5 million contract, marking his fifth team since entering the league in 2019. The Eagles anticipated he would provide additional receiving options to relieve pressure on their passing attack. However, the arrangement did not materialize as anticipated for either party.
With other wide receivers in the Eagles roster now available, Brown’s role became increasingly marginal. Makai Lemon has emerged as a leading target in the receiving corps, accumulating 312 receiving yards over recent weeks and leading the team in total receiving yards. DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are expected to return from injuries soon, further diminishing the need for Brown’s services. Earlier this month, Brown reflected publicly on his limited opportunities, framing his situation through a spiritual perspective during media availability.
Over his professional career spanning multiple organizations including the Chiefs, Cardinals, and Ravens, Brown has compiled 376 receptions for 4,385 yards and 33 touchdowns across 94 games with 73 starts.
