Say goodbye to Philadelphia.
Receiver Hollywood Brown, who was available in trade but had no takers, will now be released at his request, via Tim McManus of ESPN.
Thanks to a “noninjury settlement” (which presumably includes Brown waiving his right to termination pay), Brown will be released. Because the trade deadline has passed, Brown’s contract will be subject to waivers.
Brown signed a one-year deal with a $3.7 million signing bonus and a $1.3 million base salary. In addition to waiving his right to termination pay, Brown possibly agreed to return a portion of the bonus money.
A first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, Brown appeared in only 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 prompt another team to make a waivers claim — especially if that team would be willing to pay more than the prorated minimum to add him to the roster for the rest of the season.
Brown’s best year came in 2021, with 91 catches for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.
