Hollywood is staying in Kansas City.
USA TODAY Sports’ Tyler Dragon has confirmed that wide receiver Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown is signing a one-year deal worth up to $11 million to remain with the Chiefs in 2025. It’s the second consecutive one-year deal that the six-year veteran is signing with Kansas City after hitting free agency for the first time last year.
Brown, who turns 28 in June, missed nearly the entire 2024 season after suffering a sternoclavicular injury – essentially a shoulder dislocation – during the preseason. He returned in Week 16 and played for two weeks of the regular season. The former Arizona Cardinal also appeared in all three of Kansas City’s postseason games.
Brown finished the 2024 season with nine catches for 91 yards and zero touchdowns in his two regular season games. He caught five passes for 50 yards and no touchdowns in the postseason.
The Chiefs’ re-signing of the former first-round pick comes on the heels of news that wide receiver Xavier Worthy, the team’s first-round pick last year, was arrested for assault on Friday.
‘We are aware and gathering information”, the Chiefs said in a statement Saturday morning.
Kansas City finished the 2024 season with a 15-2 regular-season record and ended the postseason as the league’s runner-up. The Chiefs fell to the Eagles in Super Bowl 59, 40-22. As a result, Kansas City currently holds the No. 31 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
