What Should Be The Offseason Moves For Chiefs To Win Third Super Bowl Consecutively?

There have been four Super Bowl victories by the Chiefs. Super Bowl LIV (2020), Super Bowl LVII (2023), Super Bowl LVIII (2024), and Super Bowl IV (1969) have all been won by them. In 1966, the Kansas City Chiefs participated in the inaugural Super Bowl. After three years, they won their first Super Bowl game against the Green Bay Packers. Out of five appearances, the Kansas City Chiefs have won three Super Bowls.

What Should Be The Offseason Moves For Chiefs To Win Third Super Bowl Consecutively?

They won the AFC Championship in 2019 and 2020, back-to-back, although 2022 was not one of those seasons. They have made a comeback and asserted their dominance in the conference by winning the AFC Championship in 2023 and 2024 back-to-back. In Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs made their sixth Super Bowl appearance, this time against the Philadelphia Eagles.

When the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers on February 11, 2024, they made their sixth Super Bowl appearance.

The Kansas City Chiefs, who are likely to return, and general manager Brett Veach will need to put in a lot of work this summer to rebuild a club capable of winning an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl. The Chiefs have significantly more personnel issues than the 49ers.

It is unclear if Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce will return for a second season or if he will retire alongside his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, who hasn’t made his retirement public. After five years, the two might both be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Kansas City Chiefs need to make these four offseason changes in order to contend for a third straight Super Bowl championship.

Long-Term Contract With Chris Jones

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason to-do list includes a number of important matters related to All-Pro defensive lineman Chris Jones, who is searching for a new contract and is one of the greatest players at his position. According to NFL Media, the Chiefs decided on Friday to exercise an option in Jones’ contract that grants the team the chance to apply the franchise tag to him in addition to paying him the $4.25 million in incentives.

Jones is eligible for free agency if he is not tagged. This option might be used within seven days following the Super Bowl.

Naturally, Jones’ contract dilemma caused him to sit out 51 days of this summer, missing even the the regular season opener against the Detroit Lions. Jones didn’t get an extension, but returned to the team after modifications were made to his deal with incentives that gave him the ability to earn more money in 2023.

Franchise tag on L’Jarius Sneed

Star defensive lineman Chris Jones, a three-time Super Bowl winner and two-time All-Pro, will also be available to Kansas City this spring as a free agent. Furthermore, only one player may utilize the franchise tag, which further complicates things.

While Sneed might get close to $20 million annually, Jones is expected to seek over $30 million annually, making him one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL. If the Chiefs decide to hold onto Jones, a club with plenty of cap room like the Atlanta Falcons may try to sign Sneed, while the Dallas Cowboys have  been mentioned as another viable landing spot.

Sign free agent LT Tyron Smith

Sign free agent LT Tyron Smith

Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ finest player, needs to be protected if they are to win games going forward. Donovan Smith, the left tackle for the Chiefs right now, will be a free agent. But according to Pro Football Focus, Smith was rated 61st out of 81 offensive tackles. And he had a lot of trouble blocking passes.

The 33-year-old Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith, an eight-time Pro Bowler, is about to enter the market. Despite missing time due to a hamstring tear last season and ankle ailments the year before, he has been an injury issue in recent years. Despite this, he is nonetheless productive, earning the fourth-highest rating among all tackles from PFF.

The Chiefs could sign Tyron Smith  to either a team-friendly one- or two-year contract that is laden with incentives and, if he stays healthy, potentially form a formidable left side of the offensive line with Tyron Smith and All-Pro guard Joe Thuney.’

Draft a wide receiver’

Wide receiver is without a doubt the Kansas City Chiefs’ top draft need, but Rashee Rice, their second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has nothing to do with it. Riding high on Mahomes’ trust, Rice caught 79 catches for 938 yards and seven scores, making him one of the league’s finest rookie receivers.

The Chiefs’ receivers, who led the NFL in both dropped passes and dropped pass rate, were a letdown overall. The Chiefs will need to restock their receiving corps since Mecole Hardman and Richie James are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney are probably going to be released. The NFL Draft is the best and most affordable method to do this.

The Kansas City Chiefs played in the first Super Bowl in 1966. They defeated in their first Super Bowl match after three years.
