Chiefs’ Free Agency Signing With the Highest Upside | PFF
Kansas City Chiefs: RB Kareem Hunt
Contract: One year, $1.5 million
The Chiefs have embraced a “don’t pay your running back” approach, seemingly leaning on a mix of rookie contracts and low-level deals at the position for some time now. Kareem Hunt is the latest example, returning to the team for just $1.5 million in 2025.
Hunt brings experience and consistency. He was one of only three running backs in 2024 to record 200 or more carries and not fumble, and he handled his most rushing attempts since his rookie 2017 season. Hunt appears poised to be a significant part of the Chiefs’ backfield once again.
31 - Kansas City Chiefs
Ohio State · OT · Junior (RS)
This pick almost feels too on the nose, but with the way Philadelphia attacked Kansas City’s O-line in the Super Bowl, scooping up Simmons in this scenario seems mandatory, even though the Ohio State/San Diego State product is coming off injury and the team already signed OT Jaylon Moore. Bottom line: K.C. must do everything it can to protect Patrick Mahomes. Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. could also be in play for the Chiefs here.
Round 1 - Pick 31
East Carolina • Sr • 6’2” / 194 lbs
Kansas City signed Kristian Fulton to play on the boundary but in an ideal world it would still add another body to enable Trent McDuffie to move back into the slot full time. The presence of Fulton allows the franchise to bring Shavon Revel Jr. along slowly as he recovers from a serious injury.
Gardner Minshew reflects on starting his career against the Chiefs | Chiefs Wire
Minshew opened up about his 2019 NFL debut game against the Chiefs during last week’s press conference on Zoom.
“I don’t remember much,” said Minshew. “It was a blur. I remember going into the game, not expecting to play, just happy to be on the team. Unfortunately, Nick (Foles) got hurt like 12 plays in, and I went in. I remember me and my dad sitting down for dinner after, and we’re like, what the heck just happened? It was unbelievable; that was an unbelievable experience. It’s been super gratifying, super fortunate to have all the experience I’ve had in the NFL.”
