The Pittsburgh Steelers stood pat at the NFL trade deadline, but a potential wide receiver has emerged as a free agent.
The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, as both sides agreed it would be beneficial for all involved, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

Brown had 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns with the Kansas City Chiefs last season. Schultz notes that Brown is expected to land with a playoff contender.
Brown was a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2019 NFL Draft. During his eight-year NFL career, Brown has caught 376 passes for 4,385 yards and 33 touchdowns.
Brown, 29, has had stints with the Ravens, Arizona Cardinals, Chiefs and Eagles. Kicking the tires on Brown could be an option for the Steelers.

Despite sitting at 6-2, the Pittsburgh Steelers stood pat at the NFL trade deadline. Meanwhile, AFC contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars all bolstered their rosters.

Former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley was very critical of the front office’s approach.
“Team chemistry is a really important thing, but you got to have talent,” Haley said Tuesday on 93.7 The Fan. “The Steelers have a strong locker room. As long as Cam Heyward is there, as long as T.J. Watt is there, they’ll do a great job at integrating anybody into it. It’s probably got to be a little disheartening when you see other teams that are good teams with similar records adding pieces and you haven’t done anything.
Haley added: “I don’t like to disrupt the chemistry of the team and things like that, but this year, I really thought this would be the time. I think the Steelers are very, very close, but they’re a receiver, skill guy away, in my opinion.”
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn’t concerned with the Steelers standing pat at the trade deadline. In his 22 years in the NFL, big moves at the deadline have been a rare occurrence.

“I’ve learned to never hold my breath around a trade deadline because I don’t know that I’ve ever been part of a team, other than when we got Davante in Jersey, where there was an addition,” Rodgers said.
When asked whether the Steelers have enough at the wide receiver position to get to the playoffs, Rodgers said, “Yeah, but we got to get healthy.”
Michael Pittman Jr. (foot) and Roman Wilson (hand) remain on injured reserve, but Pittman could be back soon.
