The Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver room may look entirely different next season. With DeAndre Hopkins, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, and Justin Watson all hitting free agency, GM Brett Veach has difficult decisions to make on who to retain and who to let go.
With free agency officially kicking off in less than two weeks, the uncertainty around these names is continuing. In fact, on Friday, Hollywood Brown himself revealed that he has no idea what is going to happen this offseason.

Chiefs News: Hollywood Brown Teases KC Exit in Free Agency
When asked about his future in Kansas City on social media, Brown responded with a meme from SNL with the caption "I guess we'll see". Considering the original post was pleading with him to stay with the Chiefs, Brown's lukewarm response may be signaling his potential departure in free agency.
Brown was signed to a one-year, $7 million deal last offseason to be a deep-ball threat for Patrick Mahomes. Unfortunately, he suffered a sternoclavicular injury in the preseason that kept him out for most of the season. He returned in Week 16 and played in all three of the Chiefs' postseason games.
The "prove it" deal for Brown obviously didn't work out for the Chiefs, as the 27-year-old failed to make an impact during the injury-riddled season. However, considering the depth and quality issues in the Chiefs' wide receiver rotation, Brown could be a competent veteran on a team-friendly deal.
Brown has been a rumored target of the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Losing him to the AFC rivals could eventually come back to bite the Chiefs. Brown doesn't seem too confident in his return to Kansas City, but let's hope the Chiefs don't end up regretting this decision.
