A person familiar with the contract negotiations told The Associated Press on Saturday that the Kansas City Chiefs are bringing back wide receiver Marquise Brown on a one-year deal worth up to $11 million.

The Kansas City Chiefs locked in a key piece for their offense just before the start of free agency. Receiver Hollywood Brown will be returning to KC on a one-year contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal, Schefter reported, will be worth up to $11 million if Brown reaches all incentives.

Brown only played in two regular-season games in 2024, his first year with the Chiefs, after he suffered a sternoclavicular injury on the first offensive snap of the preseason. He underwent surgery and was sidelined for more time than he was originally projected to miss. He played in all three postseason Chiefs games, including Super Bowl LIX.
