Eagles Sign Hollywood Brown as A.J. Brown Market Narrows and Post‑June Trade Timing Looms

Philadelphia's one-year addition of Marquise Brown strengthens depth ahead of a likely post‑June decision on A.J. Brown.

Overview

  • Marquise "Hollywood" Brown agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $6.5 million, positioning him as Philadelphia's WR3 behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for now.
  • NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Rams have stepped away from A.J. Brown talks, leaving the Patriots as the primary team maintaining dialogue with the Eagles.
  • Cap mechanics strongly favor a delay, with an estimated $40 million-plus dead charge if Brown is traded before June 1 versus roughly $16–20 million if moved after that date.
  • Tight end Dallas Goedert re-signed on a one-year deal, a move that eased immediate roster pressure and allows the team to revisit A.J. Brown scenarios later in the offseason.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter says he leans toward Brown eventually being dealt because the receiver prefers a move, though no trade has been agreed and the Eagles are still listening.
