The Chiefs will be searching for a new offensive coordinator this offseason, and former Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith shared his thoughts on who the team might target. Smith joined Kay Adams on “Up & Adams” to discuss the Chiefs’ next steps.
“Oh, I wouldn’t be shocked if they bring (Mike) Kafka back… Andy (Reid) just rarely brings somebody outside of his circle,” Smith said.
The Chiefs’ offense appeared to grow stale this past season, and a new voice could help rejuvenate the unit. Mike Kafka served as the New York Giants’ interim head coach this season and has a long-standing relationship with Reid. Kafka was the Chiefs’ quarterbacks coach from 2018 to 2021 and also played quarterback under Reid in 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Smith noted that Reid runs the offense and calls the plays, meaning the offensive coordinator role in Kansas City may not be especially enticing. Still, it will be interesting to see whether the Chiefs turn to a Reid disciple or look outside his coaching tree.
Eagles sign former Chiefs fullback | Bleeding Green Nation
The Philadelphia Eagles are wasting no time building their 2026 roster, and after signing eight players to future contracts on Monday, they are reportedly bringing in a fullback. Former Chiefs RB Carson Steele is expected to sign with the Eagles, according to his agent.
Steele played in 17 games as a rookie for Kansas City in 2024, started three of them, and recorded 183 yards on 56 carries, including 14 first downs. He was slightly involved in the passing game and caught 7-of-11 targets, for an additional 26 yards. In the not great category, Steele also had three fumbles throughout the season. He also briefly contributed on special teams as a kick returner, taking five kicks for 138 yards, with his longest return going for 31 yards.

Thanks for the Memories Award: Isiah Pacheco
Isiah Pacheco had a respectable career in Kansas City. He was the starting running back on the Chiefs’ back-to-back championship teams in 2022 and 2023 and was a high-level contributor in both seasons, averaging north of 4.5 yards per carry each year. Unfortunately, a fractured fibula suffered in Week 2 of the 2024 season halted Pacheco’s trajectory and resulted in a precipitous decline. Since returning from the aforementioned injury later that season, the 2022 seventh-round pick’s effectiveness has steadily gone downhill. In fact, Pacheco, an impending free agent, has failed to reach 60 rushing yards in a single game since returning from the injury. While it is undeniable that the Rutgers product had some great moments in a Chiefs uniform, there is little reason for him to be on the roster in 2026.
