Another day, another piece of this Eagles season heading out the door. The Eagles waived wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on Friday, along with offensive tackle Fred Johnson.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the split was mutual, with both sides agreeing it would be beneficial for everyone involved, which means that Brown wants to play for a team that’s actually trying to win games.

Can’t blame him for that.

The Eagles signed Hollywood Brown to a one-year deal back in March, and it never went anywhere. He appeared in four games and caught five passes for 63 yards. In his last game, the 19-11 loss to the Giants, he played 35 snaps and was targeted exactly once. He caught it for 16 yards.

That’s a lot of nothing. Brown had a 1,000-yard season with the Ravens in 2021, then bounced around Arizona and Kansas City. Last season with the Chiefs, he caught 49 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns.

Since the trade deadline has passed, any team can claim him off waivers. Schultz expects a playoff contender to scoop him up. The 6-2 Steelers, who didn’t add a receiver at the deadline, are a team to watch, though they sit low in the waiver order.

The Eagles play the Steelers right after the bye.

This is where the Eagles are now. They’re 2-7, losers of seven straight and on their third starting quarterback. Jalen Hurts is out for the season with blood clots. Tanner McKee couldn’t win. Joe Milton lost his first start and at the deadline, Howie traded Jordan Davis, a guy he just gave $78 million this offseason, to Jacksonville.

Cutting Hollywood Brown barely even registers. Eight games left.
