The Kansas City Chiefs made one of their their biggest free agency move in reent history when they landed Marquise "Hollywood" Brown during the offseason. Wide receiver had been considered one of the team's biggest weaknesses ever sine Tyreek Hill was traded to the Miami Dolphins in 2022, and it was thought that his entry could rectify that issue as they sought a historic Super Bowl hat-trick.
Those hopes, however, have seemingly ended right on the very first play involving him. During Saturday's preseason game at the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown hurt his shoulder after catching a pass - the first of the afternoon:

Disgruntled Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb teases rejoining Hollywood Brown at Chiefs
What should the Chiefs do now? That is the question after Hollywood Brown’s injury, but there seems to be a ready-made answer: trade for CeeDee Lamb.
The Cowboys’ star wideout has been unhappy with his contract situation, and it reached a critical point when owner Jerry Jones told the press recently that he had “no urgency to get it done.” He would respond with “LOL”, indicating his displeasure with the organization’s unwillingness to extend him.
Then something very telling happened: Lamb removed all Cowboys references from his bio and hanged his banner image to one of him with Brown when they were still on college, playing for the Oklahoma Sooners:
Such a move, if executed, will give Kansas City its first legitimate big-play star at WR since Tyreek Hill and take the burden of tight end Travis Kelce as he progresses through his 30’s. Paired with record-breaking first-round rookie Xavier Legette, Patrick Mahomes may actually see an improved long-passing game.
