7 winners and 2 losers Chiefs’ free agency Week 1

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The two days before free agency and the first couple of days in the league year make for frenzied transactions — with equally frenzied overreactions to those moves. While we wait to see how the Kansas City Chiefs complete their free agency plan, a handful of their own players are still unsigned — and there are glaring needs at wide receiver and defensive line.

As we can see the first pages of the blueprint unfolding after one full week of moves...

Mock Draft Monday: Selecting an offensive tackle in Round 1

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Kansas City goes offensive tackle first with an eye on receiver later in this mock draft.

As the second wave of NFL free agency continues, the Kansas City Chiefs have some room for improvement at the tackle and wide receiver positions.

The Chiefs currently need a tackle (even after adding Jawaan Taylor), and they are relying on Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore as the only returners at the receiver from 2022. With JuJu Smith-Schuster...

We now have all the details for Kansas City’s newest edge rusher, who was signed last week.

Last Tuesday evening, the Kansas City Chiefs signed free agent defensive end Charles Omenihu (oh-MEN-eh-hoo) to a two-year contract that was reported to be worth as much as $20 million — but unfortunately, the initial report about the contract details didn’t reveal enough to know what the former San Francisco 49ers player’s cap hit...

Why the Chiefs still need more defensive ends

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Despite Kansas City’s recent acquisition of Charles Omenihu, GM Brett Veach has work to do.

After releasing veteran defensive end Frank Clark in early March, Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach added a defensive end in the early stages of free agency, making an aggressive move to sign defensive end Charles Omenihu — formerly with the San Francisco 49ers — to a two-year, $16 million contract that could reach $20 million with incentives....

Safety Mike Edwards brings versatility and playmaking to Chiefs' secondary

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

In its latest free agent signing, Kansas City gets a player with a knack for preventing big plays — and making them.

While it wasn’t the biggest move the Kansas City Chiefs have made so far in free agency, the signing of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers strong safety Mike Edwards is certainly interesting.

Drafted out of the University of Kentucky in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Edwards has registered 184 tackles (125 solo, seven for loss), seven...

3 Chiefs takeaways from the Brandin Cooks trade and Laremy Tunsil extension

Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Kansas City wasn’t involved in the Texans’ Sunday-morning moves, but they could have an impact on the team.

On Sunday morning, the Houston Texans were involved in two big moves that reverberated throughout the NFL. First, the team completed a contract extension for its left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Almost simultaneously, we learned that the team was trading its wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Dallas Cowboys.

These two moves are of interest to the Kansas...

Which of the remaining free-agent wideouts could make sense in Kansas City?

Coming into the offseason, we knew the Kansas City Chiefs had work to do in the wide receiver room. As I outlined in February, the team was set to lose three wideouts from the active roster — and a key special-teams contributor — in free agency.

Kansas City is still set to lose 1,545 yards of wide receiver production to the open market. Along with Hardman, three more of the team’s...

Why the Chiefs signed offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor

Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Kansas City’s newest addition played well against a familiar opponent who has been a thorn in the team's side.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Jacksonville Jaguars right tackle Jawaan Taylor to a lucrative four-year contract on Monday and announced that it was possible that he would be the team's new left tackle moving forward.

Taylor, a four-year veteran from Florida, showed improvement every year of his professional career but excelled in pass...
