The Chiefs’ signing of Hollywood Brown to a one-year, up-to-$11 million deal in 2024 was disappointing due to his sternoclavicular joint injury, which led to 15 missed games and only 14 receptions for 141 yards in five games. Despite this, the Chiefs re-signed him for 2025, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressing optimism for improved performance if Brown, along with Rashee Rice and rookie Xavier Worthy, can stay healthy. Mahomes believes that a fully healthy receiving core could lead to a more explosive offense, aiming to regain previous success in passing plays.
