Second-round draft pick Rashee Rice developed into a serviceable option in the passing game, but the Chiefs otherwise were left to rely on journeymen and stopgaps as they chased their second-consecutive Super Bowl title.
Brown confirmed the move on Instagram in a post where he also shared text exchanges with an excited head coach, Andy Reid.

Despite finishing last season as the Cardinals second-leading receiver, a heel injury certainly contributed to a career-low 574 yards in 14 games.
