Eagles Reportedly Have a New WR3
Published:
It’s Hollywood Brown:
Jahan Dotson replacement. One-year deal. No issues with it at all.
Brown had a good season in 2025, best season he’s had since 2022, when he had 709 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals. He was targeted 74 times and caught a career-high 66.2% of the passes thrown his way. It end up being a 12.0 yards-per-reception number, which was the highest number he’s posted since his 2020 Ravens season.
Assuming A.J. Brown returns, this Brown will get fewer targets in Philadelphia. The Chiefs had a lost season in which Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy were right alongside him in target volume. It was a clumpy group out there with no real WR1 or WR2 behind Travis Kelce. But the typical WR3 behind A.J. and DeVonta Smith gets 35-ish targets in Philadelphia while also trailing Dallas Goedert and Saquon Barkley.
More importantly, we shall see what this does for the back of A.J. Brown’s jersey. Is he A. Brown and Hollywood is M. Brown? Hopefully we will find out. For what it’s worth, New England is still trading above Philly at Kalshi on the “next team” market:
