2026 NFL offseason: Free agents, draft notes, predictions | ESPN
What is their top offseason priority? Improve the pass rush. The Chiefs must find an above-average pass rusher to put alongside Chris Jones and George Karlaftis. In past years, they have prioritized improving the offensive line. This year, that focus should shift to Steve Spagnuolo’s unit either through free agency or with their first-round pick.
What is one secondary priority to watch? Convince tight end Travis Kelce to return. The odds might not be in the Chiefs’ favor, but he is still productive and someone Patrick Mahomes trusts over any other pass catcher. A reasonable one-year contract could lead to Kelce returning to the roster for Mahomes’ return following his recovery from a left knee injury. — Nate Taylor
Mecole Hardman scored TD for Bills on an iconic Chiefs Super Bowl play | Kansas City Star
Because of injuries, Hardman was elevated Friday to the Bills active roster, and he made an immediate impact Saturday in Buffalo’s Divisional playoff game at Denver. Hardman caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Josh Allen late in the first quarter, and it looked familiar to Chiefs fans. The play the Bills ran appeared to be the same as the Chiefs’ game-winning play in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
As mentioned earlier, the NFL is a copycat league which makes this story even better. The Chiefs stole/borrowed that game-winning play from … the Bills.
Suggs Narrates Unbelievable Story of Chiefs, Mahomes Recruiting Him | Sports Illustrated
“Andy Reid called me,” Suggs told Marshawn Lynch and Mike Robinson on this week’s edition of the Get Got podcast. “He didn’t even call my agent. I don’t even know how he got my (expletive) number to this day.”
Going hard after Suggs, a veteran with 138 career sacks in his 17th NFL season, Reid boldly compared himself to his former coordinator John Harbaugh, Suggs’ Baltimore head coach from 2008-18.
“He said, ‘I know you love Baltimore, but you gotta understand I gave Harbs his first coaching job. Everything you love about Harbs, he got from me. You come with me, you’ll win a Super Bowl.’
“And I was like, ‘Alright, Coach, let me sleep on it.’”
Suggs didn’t even hit his snooze button until a confident young quarterback, then with zero Super Bowl rings, delivered the Chiefs’ dagger.
“Yeah, I hung up the phone and Patrick Mahomes calls me,” Suggs recalled. “He was the show then, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, he was the show. And he was like, ‘Sizzle, come get the Super Bowl ring.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll be there in the morning.’”
