With Rashee Rice potentially in legal trouble, Patrick Mahomes may enter 2026 with only two returning receivers from last season. Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Nikko Remigio, and Hollywood Brown may all leave KC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">That would leave the Chiefs with only Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals before free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft. Some could re-sign, like Smith-Schuster or possibly Thornton. Still, it now seems clear Brown likely won\u2019t return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">On Wednesday, Brown went live on his Twitch gaming channel and tweeted about it. After a fan commented that his team was full of podcasters and streamers, Brown clarified that he is no longer with the Chiefs and is currently a free agent. This public statement strongly suggests that Brown does not expect to return to Kansas City for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kansas City Chiefs face a difficult situation.
