Eagles are adding receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown on a 1-year deal, AP source says

Wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a one-year deal, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn’t been finalized.

Brown, a 2019 first-round pick by Baltimore, had 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Chiefs. He joins a star-studded offense that features quarterback Jalen Hurts, 2024 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, who is returning on a one-year contract.

Brown’s best season came in 2021 with the Ravens. He had 91 receptions for 1,008 yards and six TDs.

Brown, who turns 29 in June, has 371 catches for 4,322 yards and 33 TDs in seven seasons with Baltimore, Arizona and Kansas City.

The addition of Marquise Brown makes A.J. Brown more expendable. The Eagles have listened to offers for the three-time Pro Bowl wideout. Miami’s trade of Jaylen Waddle to Denver for a first-round pick along with a third and fourth sets the bar for A.J. Brown’s market value.

Russell Wilson confirms he’s retiring from the NFL to join CBS Sports

NEW YORK (AP) — Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson confirmed Wednesday in a video posted to social media that that he's retiring from the NFL to take a job with CBS Sports. Wilson's announcement came two days after news broke that he was finalizing a deal to become an analyst on CBS' Sunday NFL pregame show. “As I enter this next chapter with CBS Sports and ‘The NFL Today,’ I’m so blessed to continue doing what I love most — being around the greatest game in the world,” he said in the video. Wilson played 14 seasons after being taken by Seattle in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft out of N.C. State. He spent his first 10 seasons with the Seahawks, leading them to their first Super Bowl championship in the 2013 season. He was traded to Denver after the 2021 season and spent two rocky years with the Broncos before playing one season in Pittsburgh and another for the New York Giants.
