The Kansas City Chiefs' 2023 season was often dominated by discourse about their wide receiver room, though it ultimately didn't cost them given they won Super Bowl 58.

A lack of trustworthy pass catchers — the Chiefs led the NFL in dropped passes (44) last season — certainly played a role in the Chiefs' offense sliding from first in points and yards in 2022 to 15th and ninth, respectively, in 2023. So, the Chiefs made a move late Thursday to get quarterback Patrick Mahomes some more help.

Kansas City has agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $11 million with wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, a person with knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the deal.

Brown, a first-round pick by the Baltimore Ravens in 2019, spent the past two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.

His time in the desert was inconsistent, undone in part by the injury to Kyler Murray that prematurely ended Murray's 2022 campaign and kept Murray out for much of 2023. Brown and Murray were college teammates, Brown leading Oklahoma in catches and yards in 2018 when Murray won the Heisman Trophy. But the connection didn't electrify like many expected when Brown came over from the Ravens in a 2022 draft night trade. He finished his Arizona tenure with 118 catches for 1,283 yards and seven touchdowns.

Now, Brown gets a fresh start.

It's already been an eventful offseason for the Chiefs, who are trying to become the first team to three-peat in the Super Bowl era. They kicked things off by inking star defensive lineman Chris Jones to a massive extension, and they followed it up by once again restructuring Mahomes' mammoth contract.
