KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs’ $11 million wide receiver expressed uncontainable joy at rejoining the team, vowing to chase Super Bowl LX with his “second family.” His commitment fuels a championship push.
Marquise Brown shared on Chiefs Radio Network: “I turned down more lucrative offers to join the Chiefs, but 2024 was tough. Though I didn’t meet expectations, Mahomes always encouraged me, urged teammates to embrace me. I love this team; it’s my second family.”
Signed from Arizona in March 2024 for one year, $11 million, Brown recorded 9 catches for 91 yards in 2024. Injuries limited his impact, per Pro-Football-Reference.
Patrick Mahomes, with 4,159 passing yards in 2024, championed Brown’s integration. “Hollywood brings speed and heart,” Mahomes said, helping him bond with Travis Kelce, per The Athletic.
Brown’s 2024 struggles, with snaps at 38% due to a shoulder injury, didn’t dim his Chiefs love. “This culture’s unreal,” he told ESPN, contrasting his Cardinals tenure.
With $11.2 million in cap space, Kansas City’s 2025 roster, bolstered by Jalen Royals and Josh Simmons, eyes Super Bowl LX. Brown’s 574 career yards spark hope, per NFL.com.
His commitment, amid Rashee Rice’s return, uplifts a 12-5 squad. “This is home,” Brown said, echoing Andy Reid’s culture, per The Kansas City Star.
As the Chiefs gear up for their September 5 Brazil opener, Brown’s resolve strengthens their title chase. Can he ignite a Super Bowl run? Follow ESPN for updates!
