Sources told ESPN the receiver got his wish following a first half of the season in which he barely factored into the offense.\n\nThe numbers explain the frustration. Brown appeared in just four games, making one start, and caught five passes for 63 yards on eight targets. For what it's worth, all five of those catches went for first downs, according to ESPN's Tim McManus.\n\nBrown signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Philadelphia in the offseason, but the significant role he presumably expected never materialized. Rather than let him ride out a diminished part on the roster, the sides worked out a non-injury settlement that gives the Eagles some financial relief, though the exact terms were not disclosed.\n\nJordan Schultz first reported the move before ESPN and other outlets confirmed the release was coming at Brown's request. He now heads into free agency looking for a bigger opportunity elsewhere after a short, quiet stint in Philadelphia.","published_at":"2026-11-13T23:34:29.699473+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Eagles will release WR Hollywood Brown, at his request","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/eagles-will-release-wr-hollywood-brown-at-his-request"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Hollywood Brown sought Eagles exit after limited role in passing game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/hollywood-brown-sought-eagles-exit-192127995.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Sources: WR Brown gets his wish, to be released by Eagles","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50473514/sources-eagles-release-wr-hollywood-brown-per-request"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: Philadelphia Eagles to waive Hollywood Brown","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-philadelphia-eagles-waive-hollywood-024219367.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown: Eagles waive ex-Chiefs WR in Week 10","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/marquise-hollywood-brown-eagles-waive-031109750.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles release Hollywood Brown amid Week 10 bye","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-release-hollywood-brown-amid-041651199.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles continue reshaping roster by reportedly releasing veteran wide receiver","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-continue-reshaping-roster-reportedly-221326007.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles Part Ways With $40 Million Former 1st-Round Pick","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-part-ways-40-million-054221953.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Steelers should pursue former first-round WR after Eagles release","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/steelers-pursue-former-first-round-090351713.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"New Wide Receiver Target Emerges for Steelers","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/wide-receiver-target-emerges-steelers-152955562.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles will release WR Hollywood Brown, at his request","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-release-wr-hollywood-brown-200947321.html"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Eagles release wide receiver Hollywood Brown upon his request, according to report","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/eagles-release-wide-receiver-hollywood-brown-upon-his-request-according-to-report/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Eagles officially waive Marquise Brown and Fred Johnson","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/eagles-officially-waive-marquise-brown-213126239.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Bills Could Give Josh Allen 33-Touchdown WR in Post Trade-Deadline Addition","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/bills-could-josh-allen-33-002105752.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/2994fe6/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F410%2F378%2Fnbc_pft_arnoldebiketie_261112.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
