Will Brown fit in well with the Chiefs’ offense?

Kansas City has been making some big moves this offseason. They released Marquez Valdes Scantling to make their cap space more flexible and used their franchise tag on L’Jarius Sneed. Scantling’s release left a scope of uncertainty in the offense, but Browns’ additions might have solved the problem.

Brown entered free agency after spending two seasons with the Cardinals. The first-round NFL draft was traded to Arizona in 2022 but had to sit most of the season out owing to a fractured foot. He returned with full force in 2023 and secured 574 yards, four touchdowns, and 51 catches. The wide receiver brings speed and good support to Mahomes as the Chiefs gear up to achieve a three-peat.
