The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their worst season, by far, in the Patrick Mahomes era. After a dominant run, Kansas City finished 6-11 and missed the playoffs entirely. Mahomes’ season ending ACL injury combined with Travis Kelce’s potential retirement has created for an eventful off-season.
However, there another player who is making headlines.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown Teases Potential Ravens Reunion with Throwback Video on Instagram
Just days after Lamar Jackson playfully teased a possible reunion with his former teammate online, free agent wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown added intrigue by posting a short throwback video of himself in a Baltimore Ravens uniform on his official Instagram Story.
The clip—showing Brown in action during his time with the Ravens (2019–2021)—was quickly spotted and shared by NFL insider accounts. JPA Football posted on X (formerly Twitter) on February 17, 2026:
“Free agent WR Marquise Brown teasing a potential return to the Ravens on his Instagram story. A few days earlier, Lamar Jackson made a joke about him coming back to Baltimore.”

The video included no caption or additional text from Brown himself, but the timing and context sparked immediate speculation that the 28-year-old is open to rejoining Baltimore after spending the last two seasons with the Chiefs.

The buzz began when Jackson—Baltimore’s star quarterback—posted a cryptic or joking message on social media hinting at Brown’s return. Fans interpreted it as a lighthearted recruitment pitch, especially given the Ravens’ need for proven WR depth behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
Why a Ravens Reunion Makes Sense
Need for Speed: Baltimore’s offense could benefit from Brown’s deep-threat ability to stretch defenses alongside Flowers.
Familiarity: Brown already knows the system, Lamar’s preferences, and the locker room culture.
Free Agency Timing: Brown is an unrestricted free agent in March 2026, and the Ravens have cap space to make a competitive offer (especially after potential restructures or cuts elsewhere).
Mutual Interest: The Instagram story and Jackson’s earlier comment suggest both sides are at least entertaining the idea.
No formal discussions or offers have been confirmed—Brown’s post could simply be nostalgia or a subtle way to generate leverage in free agency. Still, the timing has Ravens fans buzzing with excitement about a potential homecoming.
Ravens fans: Would you welcome Hollywood back? Do you think this is serious, or just offseason noise? Drop your thoughts below—this could be one of the more intriguing free-agent storylines of 2026
