Kansas City Chiefs
The case for why Kansas City is sitting especially pretty this year heading into the NFL Draft.
The goal of any NFL team is to build a sustained contender that gives you the most chances to win a Super Bowl championship (or multiple championships). Teams build their rosters with the intention of prolonging their windows, and with enough chances, you eventually will have the right bounces to get over the top.
However, the NFL builds competitive balance checks to ensure that keeping a window open is as difficult as possible. Mechanisms like the salary cap and reverse draft ordering limit...

Reviewing the rule changes for 2025 — and sharing the editors’ takes on the decisions.
The NFL has added or modified four rules — as approved by the owners from their annual spring meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. Changing a rule requires the approval of 75% of the owners, which equates to 24 of the 32.
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, here are the approved rule changes for the 2025 NFL season:
John Dixon: I’m in favor of any method by which officials’ decisions can be...

Kansas City’s former assistant general manager discussed his recent promotion with host Kay Adams on Monday.
The Kansas City Chiefs will have a major change in the front office for the coming season. The team’s former assistant general manager, Mike Borgonzi, left the team after 16 seasons in various roles to become the general manager of the Tennessee Titans.
Borgonzi — who originally came to the Chiefs in 2009 on Scott Pioli’s staff — spoke with host Kay Adams on Monday’s episode of “The Up and Adams Show” on FanDuel Sports Network. While he confirmed passing on other opportunities in...

Offense or defense to lead the way? Let’s hear what you think!
Let’s start our Tuesday morning conversation with a topic often discussed on Arrowhead Pride:
Would you rather the Kansas City Chiefs were elite on offense or defense?
Decades ago, it’s likely that Chiefs fans would have chosen defense, but in the Patrick Mahomes era, offense seems to be a more popular answer.
What do you think? Even if you’re a first-time commenter, let’s hear what you have to say!

We now have the details for the contract given to the versatile Kansas City defensive end.
We have now obtained the details for the last two contracts the Kansas City Chiefs executed in free agency: the ones for cornerback Robert Rochell and defensive end Charles Omenihu.
As we expected, Rochell was signed to a Veteran Salary Benefit (VSB) deal that allows Kansas City to pay him the NFL minimum salary for a player with four credited seasons ($1.2 million) but have it count the same as a contract for a player with only two credited seasons ($1.0 million). Under the...

Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, April 1
Kansas City Chiefs AT Buffalo Bills
The Bills and Chiefs are embroiled in arguably the AFC’s top rivalry — though, with Kansas City having eliminated Buffalo from the postseason four times in the Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen era, it has become a little one-sided, like Notre Dame vs. Navy. All right, that might be a bit harsh, because the Bills do always seem to get the better of the Chiefs...

Kansas City is reportedly showing interest in a big pass-catcher from Patrick Mahomes’ alma mater.
Last week, Justin Melo of The Draft Network reported that Texas Tech tight end Jalin Conyers was “drawing interest” from the Kansas City Chiefs, among other teams.
Here is what to know about Conyers.
Hailing from the tiny Texas panhandle town of Gruver, Conyers committed to Oklahoma as a four-star recruit in 2020, but never appeared in a Sooners game. He entered the transfer portal twice, attending Arizona State from 2021 to 2023 before landing at Texas Tech last season.

What will be the deepest position groups in the draft — and how do they align with Kansas City’s needs?
Like men, football seasons are mortal: they’re here and gone again in the blink of an eye.
But that’s part of what makes sports great. No team (and no season) is the same as the one before; each iteration is entirely new as teams plan (and rebuild) for the following year.
The NFL Draft *may be the most important tool a general manager can use to change the fate of his team. Acquiring a good draft class can make the...

Let’s discuss the possibility that Kansas City’s Brett Veach still has a substantial move up his sleeve.
In the three weeks since NFL free agency began, the Kansas City Chiefs have signed (or re-signed) 24 players, bringing their total roster to 73. Is the team finished making roster moves before the NFL Draft, or does general manager Brett Veach still have something up his sleeve? In both 2019 and 2022, Veach executed trades for new players just one week before the draft. Could such a trade — or yet another splash free-agent signing — still be coming?
Let’s discuss the...
