Chiefs offseason thread

@kjayhawks2.0 said in Chiefs offseason thread:
I’m hearing that Kenneth Walker recent had a very good visit to KC. They are able to offer him as early as Monday afternoon. Would a huge get and then I think you could keep your first rounds picks.
My guess is that Walker is just too expensive for KC. He's the top RB on the market i think? Be nice to have him for sure! guessing they won't be able to afford any big name signings. But, free agency is always a surprise.

Right time to let him go. They have definitely overpaid some of "their guys" before so I was rather happy to see it.
-
Chiefs are likely the leading team for Travis Ettienne. Would be a great fit.
-
Pardon the slightly off topic Chiefs discussion...but looks like the Raiders just dealt Maxx Crosby to the Ravens for a few first round picks. crazy. At least he's out of the AFC West.
-
And i see that RB Joe Mixon was released. If he's healthy, i'd love to see him as a Chief.
Seems like there's a mystery behind his injuries though (sound familiar?). -
@mayjay I would prefer him over Walker due to fit

Yea, after I posted I did a bit more digging. Sounds like Mixon may not play in 2026, and maybe ever.
Maybe not a good choice, but I’ve always followed him since he’s from my neck of the woods. Oh well. I would very much like the Chiefs to find a competent running game somehow. I personally think decent RBs are a dime a dozen, so it can’t be that hard. Very much believe in youth at the RB spot, too. Of course Andy has to decide to run the ball now and again, too… -
Holy smokes! $31M a year for Trent McDuffie!!
Chiefs for sure could not afford that price tag. wow.
-
He is a good player but I think investing that much into corner is a bit of a fool's errand.
-
Also, Jaylen Watson going to the Rams with 3-yr contract. $51 mil, $34 mil guaranteed.
-
Wow was I wrong about the Chiefs spending the cash on Walker! Didn’t think they could afford him and still sign multiple defensive backs. Wow. Nice.
-
Cook to the Bengals. The Chiefs have to completely rebuild the secondary.
-
@BShark Well, maybe they will find a place for Kristian Fulton this year instead of wasting his guaranteed 15 million for another year!
-
@bshark Yea, the secondary is a mess right now. one reason i thought spending less on a RB would be smart. oh well. I'm no GM.
Looks like we got a D lineman from the Patriots. Dunno much about him, but he's apparently a run stuffing nose tackle.
-
Titans to sign CB Joshua Williams. That's 3 CBs and a safety.
Cardinals signing QB Minshew. Wonder who the Chiefs will sign as backup (and possible starter in early games).
-
KC for sure needs a quality backup who may have to start the season if Mahomes needs more time. I was hoping Minshew would stick around.

I don’t mind the signings and losses so far, think they have to pick the best rusher at 9 and the best DB left at 29.
