Now, it&#8217;s worth noting that Brown was injured for the majority of the 2024 season, and when he did return to the lineup, it was noticeable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Re-signing Brown\u00a0was important because it keeps a familiar weapon on the roster for Patrick Mahomes. Given this team&#8217;s lackluster offensive performance in recent years, the more talent for Mahomes to throw to, the better.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">That&#8217;s why a recent trade proposal from Sterling Xie of\u00a0<em>Pro Football Network<\/em>\u00a0makes zero sense. Xie picked\u00a0one veteran from each team that could be traded<a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/one-veteran-each-nfl-team-could-trade-april-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/one-veteran-each-nfl-team-could-trade-april-2025\/\" aria-label=\"one veteran from each team that could be traded, - open in a new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">,\u00a0<\/a>and for the Chiefs, it was Brown.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">&#8220;However, Brown will still likely be behind\u00a0Travis Kelce,\u00a0Rashee Rice, and\u00a0Xavier Worthy\u00a0in the pecking order, making it no sure bet that his production rebounds in 2025. With Brown playing on a one-year, $3.5 million deal, that makes him very tradeable if the fit doesn\u2019t work out better in his second season with the Chiefs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Chiefs fans should hate latest Hollywood Brown trade proposal<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">As mentioned above, Brown&#8217;s return is a good thing for a variety of reasons. I mentioned that it&#8217;s nice to keep what&#8217;s hopefully going to be a key weapon for Mahomes, but another big reason why it was important to bring Brown back is that Rashee Rice is both recovering from injury and facing a suspension that will sideline him for a chunk of games.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Yes, Xavier Worthy is coming off a great back half of the 2024 season, but he struggled in the first half of his rookie campaign. Travis Kelce is a big name for the Chiefs, yet he&#8217;s coming off his worst season with Mahomes as his quarterback and isn&#8217;t the same guy he once was. That&#8217;s what makes the idea of trading Brown even sillier. The Chiefs don&#8217;t have enough depth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Kansas City could add wide receiver help in the draft, but even then, not trading Brown would be the correct move. The Chiefs could use a healthy Hollywood Brown to help kickstart this offense, so trading him would be a very confusing move, to say the least.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the what?
