Brown has now signed a one-year contract with Kansas City for the second year in a row.

After falling to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, the Kansas City Chiefs head into the offseason with the opportunity to strengthen their roster. They can approach this in a variety of ways, including adding new players in free agency, building up for the 2025 NFL Draft, and even retaining their existing players with expiring contracts.

Kansas City Chiefs Re-Signs WR Marquise Brown

Wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was one player the Chiefs were bracing to hit the open market until signing him to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million, which could add nicely to his already $32.2 million career earnings.

Now, on Tuesday, the Chiefs officially announced the move with a social media post captioned "Credits ain’t rolling yet. We’ve officially re-signed  @Primetime_jet!"

Brown has now signed a one-year contract with Kansas City for the second year in a row, but he will only play five games in 2024, including the playoffs, due to a sternoclavicular ailment that necessitated surgery.

Even after he returned, his usage was limited, with 28 targets and 14 receptions for 141 yards and zero touchdowns. 

However, if Brown can replicate his 2021 season, when he started at least 16 games and recorded 91 receptions, 1,008 yards, and six touchdowns, he might become a powerhouse in the Chiefs' offense.

The re-signing of Marquise Brown is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Kansas City Chiefs. With a proven track record of production when healthy, Brown has the potential to be a valuable asset to the Chiefs' offense. If he can stay healthy and regain his 2021 form, Brown could become a key contributor to the team's success in 2025. His one-year deal provides a fresh start for both Brown and the Chiefs.
