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...

We’ll see if the wide receiver makes an appearance at the ‘Camp Pat’ workouts — typically held in mid-April.
Alkeme Sports RX is a comprehensive sports physical therapy and performance training facility located in the state of Florida. It appears workouts are progressing well for the wide receiver following his devastating Week 4 knee injury.

What do you got for us?
If you have ever lived in Kansas City (or even just visited), you’re well aware of Boulevard Brewery, which was founded in 1989. The creation of Boulevard marked a return to local brewing after the city had been dominated by more national breweries for a very long time.
Slowly but surely, more and more breweries began popping up. The trend gained momentum in the 2010s. By 2018, the state of Missouri had more than doubled its number of craft breweries since 2011.
As of 2022, the Kansas City area boasts more than 30 breweries....

The newest running back in Kansas City’s offense sees how he can flourish in his new home.
When running back Elijah Mitchell is on the field, he is an exciting playmaker.
That’s what the Kansas City Chiefs had in mind when they signed him to a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million — and the 26-year-old running back says he’s ready to start proving the team made the right move.
“I’m back at 100%,” he told reporters in a Zoom call last week, referring to a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the 2024 season. “I’ll be ready to...

2025 NFL free agency class rankings: Most improved rosters | ESPN
Key acquisitions and returning players: LB Nick Bolton, WR Hollywood Brown, G Trey Smith, CB Kristian Fulton, OT Jaylon Moore
I loved: The re-signing of Brown. He has often been cast as a WR1 and has struggled to live up to that billing. He’s more impactful as a WR2 or WR3, which is what he’ll be for Kansas City. As Xavier Worthy emerged in Brown’s absence, and Rashee Rice returns from...

Now that the initial waves of free agency have passed, we are beginning to better understand the offseason vision of Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach.
Before free agency began, our tracker listed 35 returning players under contract, but that dropped to 34 after Veach traded left guard...

Contract details for Gardner Minshew, Kareem Hunt, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jerry Tillery are now available.
Going into Wednesday, we hadn’t yet learned the details of eight contracts for newly-signed Kansas City Chiefs players, making it difficult to know how much salary-cap space the team now holds.
Now, however, the salary-cap site Spotrac has details for four of them: the contracts for quarterback Gardner Minshew, running back Kareem Hunt, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery.
Minshew’s details were the least surprising. Under the two-year, $25 million contract he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders last season, he was...

Could the Miami product become the next great Chiefs running back?
Based on the Kansas City Chiefs' free agency decisions, I see two clear needs going into the draft: defensive tackle depth and a starting running back.
Running back is typically not seen as a position where teams desperately need help, but in the Chiefs' situation, it’s a dire need for them. The Chiefs' running game in 2024 was one of the most interesting case studies I remember. Last season, the Chiefs were eighth in success rate rushing the ball. That’s a very good number. Kareem Hunt was 28th in...

Let’s take a look at how Kansas City’s division rivals might approach the 2025 draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft just a month away, AFC West teams are searching for ways to finally dethrone the Kansas City Chiefs before they secure their 10th straight division title.
Let’s examine the key areas that need improvement for each of Kansas City’s division opponents — and identify one potential first-round pick each could make in the draft.
Last year, the Broncos had slim pickings when they drafed a quarterback, choosing Oregon’s Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick....

With the 2024 season behind us, here’s where Kansas City’s roster stands going into the offseason.
After the Kansas City Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, they have 73 players under contract.
All of these players were on the team’s final 2024 active roster or reserve lists and remain under contract for the coming season.

As our Matt Stagner pointed out in his most recent “Market Movers” article, it’s possible that fourth-year cornerback Joshua Williams will not be on the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster when the 2025 season begins.
It’s easy to see when you review 2024’s snap counts: the team doesn’t trust Williams as a defender. He was among the leaders in special-teams snaps — but down the stretch, he hardly saw the field as a cornerback. The team can save over $3 million against the salary cap by releasing...
