The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly waiving a former first-round wide receiver — and the Pittsburgh Steelers should be all over it.
According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Philadelphia Eagles are waiving veteran wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown after both sides mutually agreed that a split would be "beneficial".
"Sources: The Eagles are waiving WR Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown, as both sides agreed it would be beneficial for all involved," Schultz wrote via X.

Brown, who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, has served as one of the NFL's most underrated deep threats thanks to his game-changing speed. During his eight-year NFL career, Brown has recorded 4,385 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns.
As if the Steelers' concerning wide receiver room wasn't enough reason to consider signing Brown, Hollywood is also the cousin of former Steeler Antonio Brown, who is regarded as one of the best wide receivers in franchise history.
It remains to be seen if Brown will be picked up on waivers, but if he somehow clears, the Steelers would make for an excellent landing spot given the team's inability to add any talent at the trade deadline.
