The Kansas City Chiefs have had themselves a good offseason as the franchise looks to reboot the roster after missing out on the playoffs in 2025.

But one position you could make the case that the Chiefs haven't strengthened when they should have, is receiver.

Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton are Patrick Mahomes' top three weapons, then we have Jalen Royals, Nikki Remigio, and Cyrus Allen as the other options.

Is another receiver needed? Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox thinks so, and somewhat oddly, has named the Chiefs as a landing spot for Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro A.J. Brown.

Brown to the Chiefs a no-go?

Would the Chiefs really go after Brown?

Given all of the talk about a move for Brown to the New England Patriots, it doesn't seem feasible for Kansas City to throw its hat into the ring.

What sort of role would Brown play? Given that the Chiefs already have Rice, Worthy, and Travis Kelce, not to mention Kenneth Walker, to uplift the run game.

We all know of Brown's antics, shall we say, so him not getting seven to eight targets a game likely wouldn't go down too well.

For me, I don't see the Chiefs as a realistic spot for Brown.
