Hollywood Brown To Sign With the Chiefs
While many thought the Chiefs would address their need at wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft, Kansas City couldn’t wait that long. According to multiple reports, Kansas City agreed to a one-year deal with WR Hollywood Brown, worth up to $11 million.
Since the departure of Tyreek Hill in 2022, the Chiefs have been lacking speed at wide receiver. While Brown isn’t quite as fast as Hill, he’s an explosive player with game-breaking speed. Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Rashee Rice are surely happy to see Brown join their passing attack.
