Marquise Brown‘s free agent spell is set to come to an end. The veteran wideout has agreed to terms with the Eagles, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports. 
This will be a one-year pact, per Schultz. He adds the deal’s maximum value is $6.5MM. Brown is in position to join his fourth career NFL team. The Eagles entered Tuesday with over $40MM in cap space, making this contract easy to absorb.
A first-round pick of the Ravens in 2019, Brown spent his first three seasons with Baltimore. He requested and was granted a trade, setting up a two-year run with Arizona. During his first trip to free agency, Brown took a one-year deal with the Chiefs. He did the same last offseason.
The Oklahoma product was limited to only two games in 2024, but he made 16 appearances this past campaign. Brown totaled 587 yards and five touchdowns on 49 catches while the Chiefs struggled to find consistency in the passing game. His 12.0 yards per reception average fell in line with his career average, though. Brown, 29 in June, will be expected to remain a vertical threat upon arrival in Philadelphia.
The Eagles lost Jahan Dotson in free agency, creating the need for a new No. 3 receiver in their case. If Brown is counted on as a replacement in that capacity, he could prove to be an effective addition. The speedster has topped 1,000 yards once in his career while also managing strong complementary numbers at other points. Dotson logged 10 starts in 2025 but he produced only 18 receptions and one score in that time.
Of course, today’s move comes against the backdrop of uncertainty regarding A.J. Brown‘s future. The All-Pro has long been the subject of trade speculation, with the Eagles exploring their options on that front. At this point, the Patriots remain the top potential landing spot, though a deal may not take place until after June 1 based on the cap implications of waiting beyond that date. An expectation persists that Brown will be playing elsewhere in 2026.
If that were to be the case, the addition of Marquise Brown could be particularly impactful. DeVonta Smith remains in the fold, but pairing him with another undersized wideout would greatly alter the Eagles’ offense. On the other hand, retaining A.J. Brown would give Philadelphia a strong top three at the WR spot with the team aiming for improvement under new offensive coordinator Kellen Mond.
So Brown is definitely gone, right?
Brown is not a replacement for Brown. He’s replacing Dots9n
Ironically I think he’d compliment Brown better than Smith but they needed depth in case they still move Brown.
Brown to replace Brown?
In kindergarten I would just mix all the paint colors together and let the teacher decide if it was actually art 🙂
Smart move by both sides. Hollywood needs a strong year to get a multi-year deal in 2027, and Eagles get him fairly cheap. AJ benefits from multiple receiving weapons, avoiding double teams. Or Eagles can now trade AJ with Smith as WR1 and Hollywood as WR2.
Do eagles finally have a steady WR3?
Kellen Mond? Again?!
Yeah, this is ridiculous. It’s Sean Mannion. Kellen Mond is still keeping his QB dreams alive from what I’ve seen.
They gave up on Sean Mannion pretty quickly, didn’t they?
Yeah pretty sure 26 year old Kellen Mond is not the Eagles OC LOL.
If the mighty Kellen Mond cant fix him then nobody can!
Kellen Mond??? Fire whoever wrote this
