The Kansas City Chiefs have bolstered their wide receiver options with the signing of Marquise Brown. ‘Hollywood’ has signed a contract worth $11 million with the Chiefs. However, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce take a deep look into Brown’s contract, suggesting he won’t be receiving $11 million.

After being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2019 NFL draft in the first round, Brown switched to the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. The 26-year-old was the second-highest receiver for the Cardinals last season. And now, he will look to excel with the likes of Kelce!

The truth behind the NFL contracts from Jason & Travis Kelce

“Like it’s up to means it’s not an $11 million deal”, said Jason on the siblings’ podcast ‘New Heights’. They were discussing the arrival of Brown to the Chiefs’ roster. And according to reports Browns has signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs for up to $11 million. The older brother Jason wanted the audience to understand the nitty-gritty of these NFL deals.

“He’s got to be a pro bowler. Certain amount of catches, certain amount of yards”, said Jason. The former Philadelphia Eagles center explained the value of the contract depends on multiple levels of incentives. Many times, players could not achieve those and did not earn the amount that was advertised.

However, younger brother and Brown’s teammate Travis shared his positive outlook. “Hollywood is gonna get 11 mil cuz he’s worth every penny. And he’s about to go crazy this year”, said Travis. But what are the exact details of Brown’s contract?

As Jason mentioned, Brown’s contract has the potential to go up to $11 million. And the final figure is not guaranteed. Brown’s base salary with the Chiefs is going to be $3.5 million and another $3 million as a signing bonus. The Oklahoma graduate will get $250K as a workout bonus during the offseason and the same amount will be his roster bonus too.

Brown will get a flat $7 million without any hurdles. The remaining $4 million is tied to the incentives throughout the season. Brown has the potential to earn $1 million if he racks up seven touchdowns or more. $1.5 million each for game time and yardage, with the final limit being 75% of offensive snaps and 1000 yards, for the season.
