Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs need a deep rebuild if they want to be contenders in 2025. Last season was disappointing, with a 6-11 record and no chance of making the playoffs.
Patrick Mahomes is recovering from a serious knee injury, Travis Kelce is still considering retirement, and the defense did not perform at the expected level. Therefore, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the team.
In addition, the Chiefs have lost many assistants in recent weeks. Perhaps the most important of them was offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who was replaced by Eric Bieniemy. Given this scenario, the changes are not stopping.
Who did the Chiefs just sign?
The Chiefs will sign Terry Bradden, according to a report by Matt Zenitz. “The Chiefs are hiring Terry Bradden as an assistant defensive line coach, sources tell CBS Sports. He was the defensive line coach for Nebraska in 2025. Before that, worked for Kansas City for eight seasons and was a part of KC’s three Super Bowl teams. Now returning to KC.”
Chiefs lose longtime coaches for 2026
In addition to Matt Nagy, the Chiefs have lost several important coaches for different reasons. For example, wide receivers coach Connor Embree, defensive quality control coach Louie Addazio, running backs coach Todd Pinkston and assistant defensive line coach Alex Whittingham. That is precisely the position Bradden will take.
