Patrick Mahomes Had No Words for Chiefs WR's Personal Message originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is getting set for his ninth season in the NFL after falling just short in Super Bowl LIX. Advertisement Since 2018, Mahomes has led the Chiefs to five Super Bowl appearances, bringing home three Lombardi Trophies. His already Hall of Fame-worthy résumé also includes two MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVPs. Mahomes will have similar names to throw the ball to during the 2025 NFL season, including tight end Travis Kelce and wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice. Fellow wideout Hollywood Brown will also be staying in Kansas City for a second season after resigning on a one-year, $11 million deal. In 2024, his lone season with the Chiefs, Brown was only able to play two games, recording just nine catches for 91 yards. The former Ravens and Cardinals wideout missed a majority of the year after suffering a sternoclavicular posterior dislocation in the preseason. Advertisement Brown was able to play in each of Kansas City's three playoff games, but was productive, grabbing five catches for 50 yards. On Tuesday, Brown returned to Kansas City for the first day of the Chiefs' mandatory camp. After practice, he took to social media and made it clear he's ready for a comeback season. Brown's post also included numerous photos of himself at mini-camp. "Hope these voices in my head go quiet 🥷🏿🌪️," Brown wrote on Instagram. "This comeback is personal. It's an apology to myself." Mahomes showed his support for his wide receivers' comeback season by reposting the message on his Instagram Story.

Arizona Cardinals have no player eligible for fifth-year option
Following the 2025 NFL draft, the talk around the NFL has been about teams and the fifth-year options of contracts for former first-round draft picks. The deadline was Thursday. The Arizona Cardinals have been notably absent in this news. Do you remember why? Advertisement It is the 2022 first-round draft picks for whom teams must decide whether or not to exercise their fifth-year option. The Cardinals did not make a first-round pick in 2022. They traded it to the Baltimore Ravens for receiver Hollywood Brown and a third-round pick. So the Cardinals have no decision to make because they have no player entering his fourth year as a first-year draft pick. The player the Ravens got with the pick the Cardinals traded them is center Tyler Linderbaum. The Ravens did not exercise his fifth-year option, but that would have cost the Ravens $23.4 million in 2026 because rookie contract designations have all offensive linemen lumped into one group. Centers are generally the lowest-paid lineman of the position group. Next year, it will come time to decide on tackle Paris Johnson, but that is a year away.

Report: Bills' Josh Allen wants to play with Chiefs' Hollywood Brown
The Buffalo Bills unfortunately lost in the AFC Championship Game to the Super Bowl-bound Kansas City Chiefs after a season that saw Buffalo finish with a 13-4 record. Following the aftermath of the Super Bowl, the Bills will keep their eye towards free-agency and one of the players that barely played for the Chiefs this season could be an option. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano wrote on Saturday that Kansas City would love to bring wide receiver Hollywood Brown back to the team so that they could try to make another Super Bowl run next season. However, Fowler and Graziano write that there could be a team that gets in the way of the Chiefs bringing back one of their starting wide-receivers and that team could be the Bills. 'The Chiefs very much want to keep receiver Hollywood Brown, who should have a good market due to teams' desire for speed options on the outside,' Fowler and Graziano wrote. 'Mahomes advocated for signing Brown last year and will likely do so again. Will another star quarterback — like Josh Allen — be next? People with the Chiefs I spoke to this week believe that Allen has long wanted to play with Brown.' Counting the playoffs, Brown played in just five games this season as he missed most of the campaign due to landing on injured reserve due to a sternoclavicular injury. Brown returned in Week 15 and from that point on, he put up nine catches for 91 yards in the regular season and followed that up by tallying five catches for 50 yards in three playoff games. Given that Brown missed so much time this season and has had injury issues in the past, time will tell what his market looks like and if the Bills will even be interested in signing him. Wide receivers Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins are free-agents this offseason, but Buffalo could bring those players back to pair with wideout Khalil Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid.
