After an eventful 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, many teams are looking forward to the NFL Draft. With six picks in the upcoming draft, Kansas City will try and improve on their 6-11 record from last season.
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is officially in the books, with the Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the league now turning attention to free agency. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach still has work to do to get the team salary cap compliant ahead of the new league year on March 11.
The Kansas City Chiefs are sitting pretty with the No. 9 overall selection in this year's NFL Draft. Some of their most important personnel were in attendance for the NFL Scouting Combine this past week, including general manager Brett Veach, who will have an interesting decision to make next month.
January 4, season finale, the kind of cold, gray Sunday that usually means nothing in Kansas City. The playoff streak was already dead. The stadium wasn’t full.
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine is near its end, and the week-long event has provided more clarity on prospects and rumors around the league. As is the case every year, there are questions and concerns for several prospects, especially those expected to be first-round picks, that dominate the headlines.
Most of the NFL mock drafts focus on the early rounds, but there are still many prominent college players who will hear their names called later. These are just some of the big names that could hear their names in the later rounds.
The Kansas City Chiefs may face an unexpected question at the most important position on the field as the 2026 season approaches. If Patrick Mahomes is not ready for Week 1, projections point to veteran Marcus Mariota as the likely starter.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Minnesota Vikings will release running back Aaron Jones at the start of the league year in 10 days, unless they can secure a trade.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are rehabbing from knee surgeries. The Chiefs are rehabbing from a historically uncomfortable season, their first losing record in 13 years.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs finally have deep-pocket draft capital, with the No. 9 overall selection in April’s draft. But short arms could keep them from selecting Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain.
The Kansas City Chiefs should soon know what Travis Kelce plans to do. The star tight end has not said whether he will return for the 2026 season or retire after 13 years in the NFL.
The Kansas City Chiefs have made some pretty important decisions so far in free agency to help them as they prepare for a crucial 2026 season. Replacing Matt Nagy with Eric Bieniemy was a smart move by an organization banking on his prior successes with the team.
NFL prospects from major programs get most of the attention, but there are numerous examples of players drafted from small schools who have become difference-makers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Derrick Thomas’ seven-sack game in 1990. Travis Kelce’s 178 career postseason receptions. Xavier Worthy’s 4.21-second 40-yard dash. Just three of the NFL records held by the Chiefs, and all highly impressive.
On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy kept his all-time record of the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, ever. While there were a few close calls, the record stays with Worthy in KC.
When it comes to the NFL Scouting Combine, prospects are often given comparisons to who their game most replicates in the league. For Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks, he took the time to give his own comparison.
The Kansas City Chiefs released two-time Super Bowl champion Mike Danna in late February to address one of the NFL’s worst cap situations. The defensive end’s departure coincided with Patrick Mahomes’ contract restructure that converted $54.45M of 2026 salary into bonus money, freeing immediate cap space.
The Kansas City Chiefs will have a bevy of needs on their roster this offseason as the long journey back to the postseason begins for the once-dominant franchise.
The Kansas City Chiefs found themselves under scrutiny this week after the NFLPA released its annual team report cards. Despite the franchise’s sustained success on the field, one area earned an “F” grade, drawing attention across the league.
Patrick Mahomes was forced to miss the final three games of the 2025 NFL season after suffering a torn ACL, watching as the Kansas City Chiefs finished 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time in his career.
After going just 6-11 and missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014, the Kansas City Chiefs are hitting the offseason looking to retool. However, they may run into some trouble when it comes to navigating cap space.
Known for letting cornerbacks serve as one-contract players in the Andy Reid era, the Chiefs will strongly consider making an exception. Trent McDuffie extension talks, which began last year, are set to resume.
Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie is entering the fifth year of his rookie deal after the team exercised his fifth-year option last offseason. During his press conference Tuesday at the scouting combine, Chiefs GM Brett Veach made it clear they want McDuffie back and mentioned he’s among the first players they will talk to this week.
