Marquise Brown, otherwise known as Hollywood Brown will now be a Arizona Cardinal. The Baltimore Ravens are sending Brown to the Arizona Cardinals and a third round pick {NO. 100} for the 23 overall pick in this year’s draft. Brown was a 2019 first round pick by Baltimore a couple years ago but never could reach his full potential under Baltimore’s offense, in his three seasons as a Raven Brown accumulated 195 caught passes, 2,361 revising yards and 21 touchdowns.
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said trading Brown was a “complicated topic” and that the 24-year-old requested to be traded at season’s end, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Said DeCosta: “It’s something I have anguished over for a long time.” The Ravens essentially had no choice but to trade Brown after he requested the trade and Brown got his wish
Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson tweeted shortly after the trade news broke “wtf” and safe to say Lamar Jackson is not happy about the news. Ravens GM DeCosta did report that Lamar was in the loop before trade eventually went through.
Marquise Brown will now be headed to the desert to join an already stacked wide receiver room in DeAndre Hopkins, A.J Green and Rondale Moore.
