Chiefs HC Andy Reid’s text message to Hollywood Brown revealed

#Chiefs head coach Andy Reid’s text message to Hollywood Brown was revealed on social media shortly after the he signed with Kansas City

The Kansas City Chiefs added a game-changing wide receiver late Thursday night with the reported signing of Marquise “Hollywood” Brown. The addition had social media buzzing, and many fans wondered how the deal got done.

General Manager Brett Veach and his staff typically handle the negotiations with free agents. The deal to sign Brown had additional help from head coach Andy Reid, according to the receiver himself. Brown allegedly showed Reid’s message in a post to his Instagram account, seemingly welcoming him to the team.

The viral post received many comments and an X mention from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who also alluded to Reid being a possible recruiter.

Brown joins the Chiefs after two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and, before that, the Baltimore Ravens. He is expected to step in and help rebuild the reputation of the wide receivers’ room after a season filled with criticism and dropped passes.

Brian Kelly sends text to Notre Dame players, will hold meeting

How would you respond to this text if you were a player?

Imagine just enjoying your night scrolling through social media when you suddenly come across news that affects you personally. No one in your inner circle told you this was happening, and you’ve suddenly found out that your life is changing drastically at the same time as everyone else. That’s what happened Monday as nobody at Notre Dame, including the football players, knew that Brian Kelly was leaving for LSU.

In what appears to be Kelly’s version of damage control, the soon-to-be-former Irish coach sent out the following message to the team:

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during that meeting. It has to be hard to believe that Kelly hasn’t lost the respect of at least some of his players. All Kelly had to do was communicate the news before it was made public, and the blowback that is certain to come could have been avoided or at least lessened. Instead, Kelly has a big mess on his hands, and it might be too big for him to clean up before he heads south.
