Andy Reid

It’s no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs are in a tough spot when it comes to trying to keep the dynasty going. Winning three Super Bowls in six years, with two other appearances, isn’t easy, and it can drain your franchise. But if there’s any team that could keep this thing going, it’s KC.

It’s not easy, though. There are a ton of roadblocks in the way. The Chiefs only have six draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. On top of that, they have little to no cap space. When free agency comes after the NFL Combine, the Chiefs will find themselves in a strenuous situation.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid talks free agency and salary cap challenge

“It’s all pieces to a puzzle here, so you go through, and you evaluate that and see where you can spend (and) what’s out there. Free agency is a little bit of a different animal, and how you handle it,” Reid said earlier this week. “We’ll see how things go. We’re sorting through all of that as we go. As you know, the Combine ends up being an area where people talk, and you’ve got agents, coaches (and) GMs, everybody together.

“People have a tendency to – you hear things and people talk, and you keep your ears open and your mouth shut and listen and see what’s going on. Until the new league year starts, nobody can really dig in on it and go. People like to talk in this league, that’s why you’re making a living at it right (chuckles), that’s how it goes.”
