American Football Conference · AFC West · 3 Super Bowls (2023, 2022, 2019)
The Kansas City Chiefs were founded in 1959 in Dallas, Texas, and now play their home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The franchise is owned by Clark Hunt, with Brett Veach serving as general manager and Andy Reid as head coach. The Chiefs have established themselves as one of the NFL's premier franchises in recent years. After a 4–12 campaign in 2009, the team built toward sustained excellence, winning Super Bowls following the 2019, 2022, and 2023 seasons. They also reached the Super Bowl after the 2020 and 2024 campaigns. Between 2015 and 2024, Kansas City made the playoffs in ten consecutive seasons, posting double-digit wins in nine of those years—including a 15–2 record in 2024. The current roster features quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, defensive tackle Chris Jones, center Creed Humphrey, and guard Trey Smith, among others. The 2025 season has seen a significant step back, with the team posting a 6–11 record.

“with Rashie Rice at an ECR of forty three and Xavier Worthy at fifty four, at least one of those guys has to be a colossal disappointment at their current cost”
“There's just like so many ways the right doesn't work out versus the cost you have to pay for him... So yeah, I agree kind of being lower on Rashie Rice.”

“And my like sleeper pick is if Patrick Mahomes has a MVP season, we have to talk about Josh Simmons at left tackle... or the potential of like surprising everybody and getting this award”
“I think the Chiefs getting Josh Simmons at pick thirty two as a potential franchise left tackle is as big of an offseason move as any team made.”
“And Juwan Taylor, who's been overpaid the last few years, and if he makes the team this year, and I assume he will”
