One of the most talked about prospects of this year finds his home with the reigning champions. The Kansas City Chiefs, known for their powerful offense, especially after the Super Bowl LVIII win, made a significant move in the early stages of 2024 NFL offseason by signing WR Marquise Brown on Thursday.

Brown played for the Ravens for the first seasons of his NFL career before joining the Cardinals for the last two seasons. He entered 2024 as an unrestricted free agent and is now on his third team, the Chiefs.

As a result, he missed the remainder of the season. But now, he is prepping up for his next stint with the four-time Super Bowl champions.

How will Marquise Brown help the Chiefs?

Marquise Brown has shown that he can be quite effective, especially when he has a healthy quarterback to throw to him. In 2021, he made 91 catches for over 1,000 yards and scored six touchdowns. During his time with the Baltimore Ravens, he scored a total of 21 touchdowns. The Ravens traded him to the Cardinals along with a draft pick in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

Brown indeed brings his ability to stretch opposing defenses and adds a new dimension to the Chiefs’ offense. He will complement Rashee Rice, who had a breakout rookie season. Although neither Brown nor Rice is considered a traditional top receiver, having both of them alongside tight end Travis Kelce should make the Chiefs’ offense more versatile.

This move is just the beginning for the Chiefs as they aim to reclaim their status as one of the top offenses in the league. Adding Brown doesn’t mean they won’t look for more receiver options in free agency or the upcoming draft. In fact, they have drafted wide receivers in the second round in the past two years.
