The reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, are leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of a three-peat. In a move that underscores their determination, they have bolstered their roster by signing Hollywood Brown to a one-year contract worth nearly $11 million, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported.
Brown, 26, has already proven his mettle in the NFL. He spent the last two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, showcasing his skills as a platoon option with seven touchdown receptions in both campaigns with 1,283 receiving yards. With such a track record, it’s no wonder the Chiefs were eager to sign him.
Marquise, known as Hollywood, is the cousin of the controversial former wide receiver Antonio Brown. In a heartwarming twist, Hollywood shared a personal conversation with head coach Andy Reid on his Instagram account. This conversation, it seems, was a personal request from Hollywood, and Reid himself sealed the deal to bring him to the Chiefs.
The Chiefs keep spending big
The current NFL champion delivered a masterstroke by securing the return of one of his defensive stars to give peace of mind to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
According to press reports, the Chiefs re-signed defensive tackle Chris Jones, one of the key pieces for their recent two-time championship. Spotrac claims the deal is for five years and $158.75 million, with a $30 million signing bonus and $60 million guaranteed at signing.
The deal makes Jones the highest-paid defensive tackle in the NFL. It also guarantees to preserve the core of coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s defense since they also managed to re-sign defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton, for an unspecified amount.
