The Chiefs officially confirmed the signing of Marquise Brown two days ago and the feel-good factor is sweeping across Missouri.

Andy Reid and Kansas City did not shy away from admitting the wide receiver core was a major problem last season.

Patrick Mahomes and his receivers lacked chemistry but found their rhythm come the playoffs.

However, the Super Bowl win did not gloss over the problem.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling cut

In the offseason, they have made the appropriate moves to address the issue.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling was cut to save $13 million in cap space.

Mecole Hardman has not been offered a new deal and lands in free agency.

In addition, Kadarius Toney has fallen out of favor and did not make an appearance in the 2023 playoffs.

The wide receiver was supposedly ‘injured’ and Mike Florio believes he has ‘no future’ with the franchise.

Rashee Rice was the beacon of hope that emerged in his rookie season.

He broke the record for most receptions by a rookie in the playoffs (26) and the franchise record for the most rookie receiving touchdowns (7).

Hollywood guaranteed $3.5 million salary

So, the new addition of Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown has been welcomed with open arms.

The 26-year-old has joined on a contract worth $11 million, with a guaranteed salary of $3.5 million.

One of the key aspects of Brown’s profile is that he possesses blistering speed which can utilized downfield or underneath.

Valdes-Scantling was supposed to be the speedy deep threat for the Chiefs but never fulfilled expectations.

So, both the franchise and the player parted ways.

Brown an upgrade of MVS

Furthermore, on NBC’s Pro Football Talk, Chris Simms speaks about how Hollywood Brown is an upgrade of MVS: “Valdes-Scantling was their speedy guy, he is no longer there.

“Hollywood Brown is an upgrade as far as an all-round receiver from Valdes-Scantling.”

The former Baltimore Raven has opted to take lower pay to land with the Chiefs.

There is an opportunity for Brown to produce noticeable stats that could see him land a multi-million dollar per year contract, whether that be with the Chiefs or somewhere else.

Brown has upgraded the receiving core as far as reporters are concerned.

Hollywood, Rice, and Kelce make for a dangerous trio running routes.
