Hollywood Brown has asked to be released from the Philadelphia Eagles, and the team has reached a non‑injury settlement that eases its payroll. Brown had signed a one‑year, $5 million contract in the offseason, appeared in four games and started one, catching five passes for 63 yards on eight targets, all resulting in first downs. The settlement amount was not disclosed, but the Eagles say they are comfortable with the move as other receivers are expected to return from injury.

The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to release wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown at his own request, according to ESPN. The release is a non-injury settlement that gives the team financial relief. Brown was signed to a one-year, $5 million contract in 2026 and played four games for Philadelphia, recording five receptions for 63 yards. The move follows a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants that dropped the Eagles to 2-7. Earlier reports said the team would waive Brown, and both sides described the split as beneficial.

The Buffalo Bills released veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday, a day after he completed a one‑game suspension for spitting at a Las Vegas Raiders player. The move follows his six‑game stint in which he allowed a 64.7% completion rate and an 83.5 passer rating, recorded 26 tackles, two passes defensed and one interception, and was fined more than $194,000. Gardner-Johnson had signed a one‑year, $6 million contract in March 2026 after playing for six previous teams. Defensive back Damar Hamlin is expected to fill the vacancy.
