The Philadelphia Eagles added some speed to their receiving core by signing wide receiver

Marquis Hollywood Brown to a one-year contract worth up to, $6,500,000.

Brown brings elite quickness after running a 4.2740-yard dash, coming out of college.

At five foot nine and 180 pounds, he offers versatility to line up inside or outside.

Trade rumors continue to swirl around AJ Brown, who might not be on the roster come week

one.

Meanwhile, the team was veteran Jahan Dotson to free agency, creating a need for reliable

depth that Brown can help fill.

New quarterbacks coach Sean Manion could shape an offense with Shanahan style elements where

Brown's long-speed shines on routes like comebacks or during scrambles.

In seven NFL seasons across three teams, Brown has 371 catches for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Last year with Kansas City, he posted 49 receptions, 587 yards, and five scores, despite

missing time with an injury.
