Last off -season, the Kansas City chiefs did what seemed to be one of the best signatures from the NFL free agency, in the process of inking Marquise Brown receiver for a one -year contract of $ 7 million .
The chiefs needed help for their reception body, and Brown seemed to be a perfect answer. He then became even more important with the kind authorization of the problems of Rashee Rice.
But then, Kansas City’s plans for Brown ignited themselves when he suffered a shoulder injury during the pre-season, which knocked him out for the majority of 2024.
The 27 -year -old returned in week 16 and ended up registering nine taken for 91 yards in a pair of games in the regular season (he went around the final of the season). He has also taken three balls out of 35 yards so far in the playoffs.
However, because Brown was sidelined for so long and could not have an impact for most of the year, Dalton Wasserman of Pro Football Focus nicknamed the product of the University of the Oklahoma as the worst addition as a free agent of the chefs in 2024.
“Brown’s signature was certainly a good idea, but the injuries held it out of action until week 16″, ” Wasserman wrote. “He played in just three games and caught nine assists for a total of 91 yards.”
Brown is certainly an interesting player because he has not fully met expectations throughout his career in the NFL.
He was initially selected by the Baltimore Ravens with the 25th choice in total of the 2019 NFL draft and spent the first three years of his career with the Ravens, displaying a campaign of 1000 yards during his last season with the club.
However, Brown became frustrated by his role in the heavy offense of Baltimore and asked for a job. He was then treated at the Cardinals of Arizona, where he succeeded 709 and 574 yards, respectively, in two seasons.
The Hollywood, fl. Native has struggled to stay on the field in the past three years, playing in a large total of 28 games since 2022.
That being said, Brown remains a very viable deep threat thanks to its flamboyant speed and could ultimately be a major factor in the Super Bowl against the Eagles of Philadelphia.
