The Kansas City Chiefs may not be done adding weapons to their offense. After acquiring Josh Downs from the Indianapolis Colts at the 2026 NFL trade deadline, they could have another chance to strengthen their receiving corps.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles have mutually agreed to part ways, making the veteran receiver available on waivers. The news quickly caught the attention of Chiefs fans, with many calling on general manager Brett Veach to bring Brown back to Kansas City.

Chiefs Fans Want Hollywood Brown Back

While Downs gives Patrick Mahomes, who has an 82.2 PFN QB Impact Rating (fifth among QBs), another option in the slot, the Chiefs could still use a receiver who can make plays downfield.

Kansas City has dealt with some injury issues at the position this season. Tyquan Thornton recently underwent ankle surgery, while Xavier Worthy has been dealing with a hamstring injury. Bringing in another deep threat could give Mahomes more help in the passing game.

Brown, of course, is no stranger to Kansas City. He played for the Chiefs in 2024 and 2025, finishing last season with 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns.

He has not made much of an impact in Philadelphia this year, recording just five catches for 63 yards. However, his experience in Andy Reid’s offense and previous connection with Mahomes could make him an interesting option as the Chiefs prepare for a playoff push.

News of his potential availability quickly sparked excitement among Chiefs fans across social media. One fan wrote, “Back to the Chiefs. Odd that they wouldn’t just trade him yesterday, seems like collusion.”

Another fan pointed out the team’s need for a receiver, writing, “CHIEF PLEASE WE NEED ANOTHER DEEP THREAT, WE HAVE 3 SLOTS ON THE TEAM.”

Analyst Andrew Jerell Jones also supported the idea of a reunion, saying, “A return to the Chiefs would be a wise move for Hollywood Brown, even after Josh Downs’ arrival.”

Other fans were equally excited about the possibility, with one commenting, “DEMON HOME.”

Another added, “Welcome back to the Chiefs, Brodie.”

Chiefs Could Face Competition for Hollywood Brown

Kansas City might be the most familiar landing spot for Brown, but the Chiefs could face competition from several teams.

The Los Angeles Rams could be interested as they deal with injuries to Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The San Francisco 49ers also need more depth at the position despite recently acquiring veteran receiver Keenan Allen.

The Seattle Seahawks, meanwhile, could view Brown as another option to add speed and explosiveness to their passing attack, while the Chicago Bears could also use another serious threat to create more opportunities for Caleb Williams.
