Hollywood Brown is a player teams looking for wide receiver help believe could be traded in the coming weeks, according to a report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz. This rumor comes as the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2026 season outlook isn’t exactly shining bright, leading to talk of them being active sellers before the trade deadline. While big names like Saquon Barkley get a lot of attention, Brown is emerging as a more fringe roster player who might be on the move.
From Offseason Struggles To The Sidelines
It’s clear Brown’s representatives are trying to drum up interest and find him a new NFL home where he might actually get a chance. On the Eagles’ side, GM Howie Roseman would absolutely prefer to get anything in return for Brown via trade rather than just cutting him loose. But honestly, it’s hard to see teams banging down the door for a deal. Brown reportedly struggled throughout offseason practices, which pretty much explains why he was active for Week 1 but played zero snaps. Zero. Not a single play.
Ankle Injury Followed By A Healthy Scratch
The Eagles tried to get him involved in Week 2, giving him some designed touches, but he still only played 17 snaps. After that, things went from bad to worse. Brown missed the next three games because of an ankle injury. He wasn’t on the final injury report heading into Week 6, meaning he was healthy, but the team still kept him inactive. Why? He was behind a whopping six other active receivers: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore, and Britain Covey. That’s a healthy scratch if we’ve ever seen one.
So, yeah, it’s painfully obvious Brown has no role in Philly. And you can bet he’d welcome a fresh start somewhere else. But here’s the kicker: it’s incredibly tough to believe the Eagles will get much, if anything at all, for him in a trade. They signed him to a one-year, $5 million contract earlier this year, and at this rate, they might just end up having to cut a player they paid that much for, getting absolutely nothing back. What a mess.
