Nick Bolton will be one of the more fascinating free agency decisions for the Chiefs. He's beloved by Steve Spagnuolo, but how will he be valued with a strong crop of linebackers in the free agent pool and the 2025 NFL draft? https://buff.ly/4gLRM9a

Running back will be a position the Chiefs seek to improve in the 2025 NFL draft, and they've already met with one of this year's sleeper prospects. https://buff.ly/4k6EC9s

The Chiefs are already working hard to assemble their 2025 NFL draft board. We've got a confirmed meeting with a projected top-100 pick at a CFB All-Star game. He's a bit of an outlier, but also a productive player at a potential position of need. https://buff.ly/4hG7vIe

With the Chiefs' latest signing, they're up 50 players on the 90-man offseason roster for 2025. https://buff.ly/3X1lIak

The 2025 NFL offseason is here, which means it's Chiefs GM Brett Veach's time to shine (and time for me to go fishing). A look ahead at the offseason calendar with some key dates, times, and deadlines for Kansas City just around the corner. https://buff.ly/4hyItuu

The Chiefs are keeping the bulk of their 2024 practice squad intact by getting a headstart on re-signing players before their contracts expire. 11 players will officially return to Kansas City for 2025. https://buff.ly/3CYy7Vv

You'll hear a lot of speculation about Chiefs TE Travis Kelce's future in the coming weeks. No. 87 has earned the right to take his time on a retirement decision, but there's also a fast-approaching soft deadline. https://buff.ly/4jQRWyC

Asked about his future in Kansas City after the loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Chiefs pending free agent LB Nick Bolton strongly hinted toward his preferences. https://buff.ly/40VgIoy

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was the lone bright spot for the offense in the Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles. His comments after the game show a player who is wise beyond his years. https://buff.ly/4gzv7fW

Chiefs GM Brett Veach has some work to do this offseason, including nailing the 2025 NFL draft. It starts with finding a solution at a key position. Here's my first 7-round mock draft in the wake of the embarrassing loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. https://buff.ly/3Q8iX39

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: "We were confident to the very end. . . All you can do is take it play by play and give it everything you have. . . I'm proud of the fight the guys had."

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes on Travis Kelce potentially retiring: "I know he still has love for the game. He'll get time to spend with his family and make that decision on his own. He'll be welcomed back here with open arms."

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: "You can never be satisfied with just going out there and playing. These defenses continue to get better & better, so I have to get better to combat that. When defenses play shell coverages and stay back and play man coverage on third down, I can't make a bad play worse."

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: "Anytime you lose the Super Bowl, it's the worst feeling. It'll stick with you for the rest of your career. It hurt more than the wins feel good." "It's going to hurt for a while, but how can you respond to it."

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: "I can't turn the ball over when it's not going our way. I have to learn from that and get better from that."

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: "Credit to the Eagles, man. They played better than us, start to finish." He took full responsibility for the turnovers. Says he needs to be better.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid when asked about the OL struggles: "Their defensive line did a nice job."

Chiefs HC Andy Reid: "Too many turnovers, too many penalties, against a good football team. Can't do that."

Chiefs HC Andy Reid: Today was a tough day, we didn't play well enough in any of the phases. We didn't coach well enough.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy: "We just have to use this as motivation to get better next season."
