The Kansas City Chiefs have been rather active this offseason after missing the playoffs for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era in 2025. The franchise has undergone a soft reset if you will, as several starters were allowed to move on, while the Chiefs were very intent on who they wanted to bring in.
