Overview
- Philadelphia agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $6.5 million with Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, according to multiple reports.
- The addition is characterized as WR3 depth and potential insurance rather than a direct replacement for A.J. Brown.
- Ian Rapoport reports the Rams have bowed out of A.J. Brown discussions while the Patriots remain in consistent contact with the Eagles.
- Trading A.J. Brown before June 1 would trigger roughly $40 million in 2026 dead money, whereas a post–June 1 move would cut the immediate hit to about $16–20 million and push some charges into 2027, with estimates showing modest 2026 savings.
- Adam Schefter says he leans toward Brown eventually being moved because that is the player’s preference, though no trade has occurred and timing likely points to June.
