Hollywood Brown Signs With Baltimore Ravens, Eagles-Browns Deal Officially Announced
Wide receiver Hollywood Brown will be joining the Eagles, but his search for a team almost brought him back to the first stop in his NFL career. Brown was a 2019 first-round pick in Baltimore and spent three seasons with the team before being traded to the Cardinals. That trade came after Brown requested a move because he didn’t feel the offensive system was the right one for him.
That system has changed since Brown left the team. Jesse Minter is now the head coach with Declan Doyle on the staff as the offensive coordinator and those changes may have helped lead Brown to think about a second stint with the Ravens. "I was really considering going back to Baltimore," Brown said on the Speakeasy podcast.
"I got good relationships there. I really let my agent handle it until it got down to what it got down to. This is my second time in free agency, so I kinda don’t want the small talk.
I let him deal with it. When it got down to who really wants me, who he thinks is really showing interest, then I want to talk and get involved. " Brown didn't delve into how close things came with the Ravens and what ultimately swayed him to the Eagles, although he did say that they had been his favorite team growing up and that he's looking forward to playing with quarterback Jalen Hurts.
The Ravens have not added any wideouts to the roster this month, but being in the mix for Brown might be a sign that they are looking to bolster that group ahead of the draft.
