Brown will run it back with Kansas City after his first season there was essentially a lost cause. He suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason that cost him virtually all of the regular season and limited his ability to forge a connection with Patrick Mahomes even after his return. He played in just two regular season games, making nine catches for 91 yards. He was only a minor factor in the team’s playoff run, catching five passes for 50 yards in three games.
Brown was a 1,000-yard receiver for the Baltimore Ravens in 2021, and the Chiefs had hoped he would provide a big-play threat for them. The team clearly still thinks he can contribute a lot to the offense based on how eager they were to bring him back and the salary they are giving him.
The Chiefs anticipate getting Rashee Rice back for 2025, which should bolster their receiving corps. However, there may be some questions lingering about another Kansas City wide receiver and his availability in light of news that emerged earlier Saturday.
