Kansas City Chiefs
We are 58 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.
The No. 58 uniform is arguably the most iconic in team history, especially among the tried-and-true fans. It was worn by the late, great Derrick Thomas, and hasn’t been donned since the final season of Kansas City’s all-time sacks leader’s Hall of Fame career, 1999.
The nine-time Pro Bowl, two-time first-team All-Pro outside linebacker is the centerpiece of some of Chiefs fans’ greatest memories at Arrowhead Stadium. He was a representation of the crowd advantage, using the...

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has never experienced unrestricted free agency during his time in the NFL. He nearly did this spring, but reportedly came to an agreement with the Chiefs just days before the new league year began in March.
It prevented him from seeing how high the free market would value his football skills, but he, unsurprisingly, will get to be the center point of a bidding war for his other talents.

In the dead of the NFL offseason, every writer feels the temptation to compile rankings of some sort.
Amid my battle with the rankings-season demon, a realization came to me: Is there anything resembling a clear answer to who the Kansas City Chiefs’ second-best player is?
When asked that way, the debate feels limited to the obvious names, so let’s add the wrinkle that sparked a strong debate among Arrowhead Pride users in “The Feed” this week:
Who is the most important player on the Chiefs after quarterback Patrick Mahomes?
My mind immediately goes to defensive tackle Chris Jones, who...

Nobody should be arguing that the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster is at the level of the 2022 team that won Super Bowl LVII.
That was probably the most well-rounded roster in the era of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Tight end Travis Kelce was still in his prime, the draft was an absolute gold mine and the offense adjusted schematically to what opposing defenses were presenting.
This team might not be that, but it might not have to be.
The AFC isn’t what it was at that point, either. It seems the entire conference is more balanced, or forgiving, than it was...

In this series, we will look at established players — virtual locks to make this year’s Kansas City Chiefs squad — with the most riding on the 2026 season.
If the Chiefs knew how the 2025 NFL Draft would unfold, the front office would probably not have given tackle Jaylon Moore a two-year contract worth $30 million to open free agency a month earlier.
After a woeful performance in Super Bowl LIX, featuring continuous pressure on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs prioritized blocking as free agency opened and inked Moore, who earned the deal by playing well with the [San...

We are 59 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.
The No. 59 is worn by linebacker Cooper McDonald, who is entering his second season in the NFL after successfully earning a contract from the Chiefs at rookie minicamp tryouts last spring.
He’s on the ascent after an impressive rookie campaign, looking to be remembered as fondly as these memorable Chiefs players one day.

In the wake of ESPN’s annual top-10 quarterback rankings, a list that featured Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes losing the No. 1 spot he held for three years, the outlet published an analysis of trade value for the league’s top players.
Of note to me was author Bill Barnwell’s value for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, especially given his belief that Allen has “outplayed Mahomes over the past three seasons.”
Allen is a year younger than Mahomes, free of a serious knee injury and “better,” yet Barnwell assigned the same trade value to the two players....

The Kansas City Chiefs‘ wide receiver room has numerous questions heading into training camp, making it firmly one of the must-watch units throughout the preseason.
Regardless of how few answers there are currently, it’s nonnegotiable that the Chiefs need consistency from someone in the receiver room in 2026.
With offseason turmoil surrounding wide receiver Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy working his way back from injury and a high number of unproven first and second-year players like Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen, the team is awaiting a constant, reliable presence to emerge.
Rice was the best of the bunch last season, but...

In less than two weeks, there will be a Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice to react to!
On Wednesday, July 29, the Chiefs will hold a full-team practice to an exclusive crowd of season-ticket holders. The following day will be the team’s first public practice.
To get ready for camp, let’s take a look at the players competing for the roles in the offense at tight end, working around 36-year-old Kelce’s unique usage.
Kansas City is familiar with the current second tight end, Noah Gray, as he enters his sixth season with the team, so let’s focus on the...

For the fourth straight year, I’m considering the 10 biggest questions I have for the Kansas City Chiefs for 2026. Here are the questions I’ve pondered so far:
One of the biggest areas the Kansas City Chiefs have struggled with during the last two seasons is pass rush, particularly with a typical four-man rush.
During the 2024 season, the Chiefs were 30th in pressure rate...

We are 60 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.
The No. 60 is worn by interior offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad, who is entering his third year with the organization after being drafted in the fifth round in 2024.
He has a significant training camp ahead of him; he needs to earn his spot on the team as an understudy. If he does become the team’s next reliable backup center and guard over time, he doesn’t need more than an important start or two to climb the...

At this point, it would be shocking if the face of the league is not under center when the Kansas City Chiefs host the season premiere of Monday Night Football against the Denver Broncos on September 14.
After participating throughout the offseason program following his late-season ACL tear, we will presumably see Mahomes ramp up his action early in camp after an additional two months of rehab.
In an appearance on Wednesday’s edition of “Yahoo Sports Daily,” Mahomes discussed the rehab process that he believes will have him ready to start the season. As with his previous...
