Eagles waive 2 veterans who could help Rams, including former 1st-round WR

The Eagles just parted ways with Hollywood Brown and Fred Johnson, both of whom could help the Rams.

The Los Angeles Rams have faced numerous offensive injuries, leaving them without key players such as Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, Terrance Ferguson, and Steve Avila. The team is counting on their younger athletes like Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith, Brennan Presley, and Max Klare, as well as experienced veterans Colby Parkinson, Tutu Atwell, and Tyler Higbee.

As they navigate this roster transition, the Eagles have waived wide receiver Marquise Hollywood Brown and tackle Fred Johnson. Johnson, a former 1st-round pick, played in 82 games during his career, starting 22 of them, and contributed 371 receptions for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns. Brown, who won Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles, had 72 starts in 91 career games, amassing 371 receptions for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns.

With a scarcity of veteran players with playoff experience, the Rams could benefit from these two seasoned veterans, who could serve as valuable additions if the team faces further roster challenges.
