The Eagles have waived wide receiver Hollywood Brown, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
Schultz reported last month that Brown’s name was mentioned in trade talks.

After the NFL trade deadline passed on Tuesday, Brown remained on the Eagles’ roster.
Schultz said “both sides agreed it would be beneficial for all involved” for Brown to move on.
The Eagles signed Brown to a one-year, $6.5 million deal in March. This season, he has caught five passes for 63 yards.

The Eagles struggled to get Brown involved on offense, but Eagles coach Nick Sirianni hyped up Brown’s skill set and promised to use him more.
“Hollywood could obviously help us,” Sirianni said after Week 1 when asked about why Brown didn’t play against the Washington Commanders. “We obviously want to get him into the football game because his speed is real. It just didn’t work out that way yesterday. There are games like that. There are games where you get shut out in catches. Unfortunately, there are games that they get shut out in reps. But we know that Hollywood can help us win football games, and his speed is real.”
Brown was praised by Sirianni during the spring, too, but the Eagles clearly were not impressed by him.
They are getting rid of him after he played 43% of the offensive snaps.
