Say goodbye to Philadelphia.
The Hollywood Brown receiver, which was commercially available but had no takers, will now be released at his requestvia ESPN’s Tim McManus.
Thanks to a “no damages settlement” (which apparently includes Brown waiving his right to severance 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 severance pay, Brown may have agreed to return some of the bonus money.
A first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, Brown appeared in just 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 claim him off waivers — 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.
