A major overhaul is coming, both offensively and defensively. The Chiefs have a large amount of key pieces hitting free agency, so they&#8217;ll have to be aggressive in order to fill their roles before next year.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_oqydum8sz\">While everybody has their own opinions on how the Chiefs should approach signing free agents and drafting prospects, PFF analyst Thomas Valentine took it upon himself to list the Chiefs&#8217; ideal plan during this offseason:<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_ui6rdx1cw\">&#8220;The\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0were blown away in Super Bowl 59, losing to the\u00a0Eagles\u00a040-22 in a game that was only close after the coin flip,&#8221; Valentine wrote. &#8220;It was an unlikely humbling for a team that has endured nothing but the sweet taste of success over the past two seasons, and it\u2019s a feeling they won\u2019t forget any time soon. However, it\u2019s worth noting the obvious: The Chiefs will be competing for a Super Bowl as long as\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0is under center. The goal now should be to retool and prepare for another run.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zywfi0bqo\">He&#8217;s right. As long as the Chiefs have the duo of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, the supporting cast won&#8217;t matter, they&#8217;ll be in contention for another ring. However, while Mahomes may mean a great deal to this organization, he can&#8217;t do it all by himself. The Chiefs have already franchise-tagged Trey Smith for next season, but Valentine states that this is only the start of what KC needs to do to get back to the big game:<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_fsbxm4gyp\">&#8220;Tagging\u00a0Trey Smith\u00a0at guard is a step in the right direction, but the Chiefs will need to likely address the left tackle position and add another playmaker or two on offense,&#8221; Valentine continued. &#8220;The bulk of a Super Bowl-winning roster is still there; it\u2019s just about adding a few more pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_wdt5do71o\">The left tackle position is what has haunted the Chiefs for so long now. They&#8217;ve tried to fix it, but nothing has stuck yet. Rookie Kingsley Suamataia was supposed to be the answer, but he wasn&#8217;t. They tried moving Joe Thuney out wide, but it wasn&#8217;t sustainable. If the Chiefs can&#8217;t find a permanent solution, it&#8217;s going to haunt them next season as well.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_y783ra5i0\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs have a lot on their to-do list for the 2025 offseason.
