This weekend, the Kansas City Chiefs' first-year players are getting their initial experiences of what being in the NFL is like. Rookie minicamp is a great way for coaches to do some initial evaluating of their newcomers, even with OTAs and mandatory minicamp still on the horizon. For some, it's also an opportunity to keep the bar high as far as expectations are concerned. Not many rookies are facing that more than second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia. General manager Brett Veach has already referred to the BYU man as "good competition" for Wanya Morris, which is a narrative that's bled into m ..read more

The Kansas City Chiefs' rookie minicamp is officially off and running, and Saturday presented first-year players with an opportunity to dip their toes into the water. In addition to gaining valuable experience for life in the NFL, some players got to speak to the media. One of those rookies was fourth-round 2024 NFL Draft pick Jared Wiley. The No. 131 overall selection has been spoken highly of thus far, with general manager Brett Veach referring to him as a "true combo tight end" earlier this week. While no one is projecting him as a top contributor on offense this coming season, there remain ..read more

For the next few days, the Kansas City Chiefs are getting their new players acclimated at rookie minicamp. From early-round 2024 NFL Draft selections to undrafted free agents, everyone will have a chance to make a good first impression on coaches and their peers. The headliner of the group is No. 28 overall pick Xavier Worthy. As Patrick Mahomes's newest wide receiver enters the fold, he has plenty to learn but plenty of upside if things click at minicamp and beyond.

As the Kansas City Chiefs launch rookie minicamp, the club is wrapping up its work in the aftermath of the 2024 NFL Draft. Undrafted free agents are valuable contributors to plenty of teams, and general manager Brett Veach is no stranger to finding good ones.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a unique position. With the current lease at the Truman Sports Complex expiring in 2031 and Jackson County voters overwhelmingly rejecting a 40-year extension of the three-eighths of a cent sales tax on April 2, could the Chiefs move from Kansas City, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas? Momentum seems to be swinging toward the Kansas side of the state line after . Shortly after those remarks, renderings of a domed Kansas stadium made headlines.  The stadium renderings that were released are not affiliated with the Chiefs but were brought forth by Kansas City-bas ..read more

Earlier in the offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs restructured the contract of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Later, after most of free agency had come and gone, they traded away franchise-tagged cornerback L'Jarius Sneed. Now, before signing their 2024 draft class, the Chiefs have over $15 million in salary cap space (16th in the NFL) according to Spotrac. What will the Chiefs do with that space?

In a new mailbag on SI.com, Breer took a question about the Chiefs' cap space and what KC plans to do with the space, and Bre ..read more

Just months ago, there were questions about whether Kadarius Toney would still be with the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL offseason. The former first-round pick is still on the roster, although the club took an expected measure on Thursday to ensure that it won't be responsible for a hefty chunk of change in 2025. Kansas City declined Toney's fifth-year option this week. Had the franchise picked it up at Thursday's deadline, Toney would be earning $14.3 million in fully guaranteed money a year from now. It's a move just about anyone could've predicted. With it becoming official, though, it kee ..read more

The Kansas City Chiefs' biggest remaining question of the 2024 offseason isn't about who they'll add next. It's about how long second-year wide receiver Rashee Rice could be suspended in connection to his role in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in late March. Now, multiple NFL insiders have provided their perspective on what the Chiefs are expecting. In an appearance on Steve Smith Sr.'s Agent 89 Breakdown, James Palmer spoke definitively about Rice being suspended and how serious of a punishment the Chiefs are expecting.
