Chiefs headlines for Tuesday, July 1
Rodgers had the very slight edge in passer rating and EPA per dropback, while Mahomes had the very slight edge in completion percentage and and slightly larger one in success rate. Rodgers limited interceptions better (including on a per-attempt basis), but Mahomes was better at avoiding sacks. Rodgers created explosives very slightly more often but Mahomes was slightly better at creating first downs and quite a bit better at converting on...

The top of the NFL’s guard market is going to shift when Trey Smith signs his new deal
Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith became the NFL’s highest-paid guard in unorthodox fashion this offseason when he received the franchise tag, earning him a one-year, $23.4 million deal.
The tag is expected to be a placeholder for Smith, who has until July 15th to reach a long-term extension with the Chiefs. That timeline is coming sooner and sooner, but many still expect an extension to get done.
Kansas City essentially elected to commit to the Pro Bowl guard this offseason, trading...

Former NFL GMs’ Comments on Chiefs Super Bowl Chances | SI
Only one team in history has made four straight Super Bowls, and that is the Chiefs’ bitter AFC rivals, the Buffalo Bills. While the Bills didn’t end up winning any of those games, they still are the benchmark for history. With the Chiefs looking to bounce back in 2025, it has to be known within the organization that this goal is reachable.
However, former general manager of the New York Jets turned analyst Mike Tannenbaum revealed the...

Re-Drafting Every NFL Team’s Worst Draft Pick Over Last 5 Years | Bleacher Report
Original Pick: Edge Felix Anudike-Uzomah at No. 31 (2023)
It’s hard to blame the Chiefs too much for using a first-round pick on Anudike-Uzomah. With 20.5 career sacks in college and unreal bend around the corner, he was one of the best pass-rushers in the draft class to complement Chris Jones.
However, the Kansas State product has struggled to get on the field in the pros, recording just three starts and 550...

Smith discussed a lot of things, but did not address his pending contract negations with Kansas City.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce and his older brother — former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce — host a weekly podcast called “New Heights.” The title is an homage to the Cleveland Heights neighborhood in which they grew up.
In this episode: Chiefs starting right guard Trey Smith joins the brothers to discuss his journey to the NFL, what it’s like to play with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the outlook of rookie starting left tackle Josh Simmons. Predictably, Travis...

On Thursday, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz outlined one final move for each of the 32 teams in the NFL, including the Kansas City Chiefs. For the Chiefs, their final suggested move is hardly a surprise.

Extend right guard Trey Smith
The Chiefs already decided between Joe Thuney and Smith. They could pay only one of them, so Thuney was sent to Chicago and they kept the younger Smith . Right now, Smith is set to play on the franchise tag for 2025 and then become a...

While the spotlight has been on what Kansas City will do at left tackle, finding a new left guard will also be important.
The Kansas City Chiefs will conduct 2025’s first public training camp practice on July 22 at Missouri Western State University in St.Joseph, giving media and fans their first real look at the team since its Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles — a game in which the offensive line struggled mightily to protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The Chiefs’ left guard was a big part of why that happened. Starting just the sixth game of his...

Kansas City Chiefs: Offensive line stability
The Ravens just need their front to stay healthy. The Chiefs, meanwhile, may or may not have a title-caliber line at all. That was clear as day in Super Bowl LIX, when the Philadelphia Eagles tore them to pieces, rendering Patrick Mahomes a nonfactor. Now All-Pro interior man Joe Thuney is gone, and two new faces occupy the present and/or future of left tackle,...

On Wednesday, the football analytics site Pro Football Focus published their 2025 rankings for two defensive position groups. First, Dalton Wasserman considered the linebacker corps of every NFL team, ranking the Kansas City Chiefs fourth behind the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and New England Patriots.

In 2025, Kansas City needs better pass rushers alongside superstar Chris Jones.
For the third straight year, I’m considering the 10 biggest questions I have for the Kansas City Chiefs for 2025.
As I watch the Chiefs’ games from last season, I often notice a lack of secondary pass rush. While Chris Jones was a dominant pass rusher every week, there were other games in which no other Kansas City player was generating pressure; it was an issue in the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the second matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers and the first game against the...
