Marquise “Hollywood” Brown Signs One-Year Deal With Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing in former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on a one-year contract worth up to $6.5 million.

Brown, 28, spent the past two seasons with the Chiefs, struggling to stay on the field and remain healthy. Health has always been a concern for the eighth-year wide receiver, but the Eagles hope he can be a reliable deep threat for quarterback and fellow Sooner, Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles have always liked Brown, targeting him in the 2019 NFL Draft, before trading up to select offensive tackle Andre Dillard with the 22nd pick. The Baltimore Ravens would then use the Eagles’ 25th overall draft pick to select Brown.

Brown was drafted out of Oklahoma and was one of the best wide receivers in all of college football, playing alongside Heisman winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray.

The speedy receiver spent three years in Baltimore before requesting a trade after he was unhappy with his role in the offense. Brown was sent to the Arizona Cardinals, where he got to reunite with Murray.

Brown slots in currently as the Eagles’ wide receiver three, but that remains to be seen depending on a potential A.J. Brown trade. As Jahan Dotson left in free agency, the Eagles needed to bring in another outside threat to go alongside Devonta Smith.

In his lone healthy season with the Chiefs, the speedster tallied 587 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
