Today on the Chiefs Blitz Podcast, Hense Todd, Nick Athan, Lou Montagna, and Andre Tillman break down the current state of the Kansas City Chiefs roster as we head into the 2026 free agency period!
🏹🏟️ #KansasCityChiefs #TravisKelce #JawaanTaylor #JaylonMoore #NFLCombine2026 #JaylonMoore #NFLCombine2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXtM69TxOo General Manager Brett Veach has already started the “bloodletting,” releasing tackle Jawaan Taylor to clear $20 million, releasing Mike Danna to clear another $8.9 million in cap space, and trading Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams. The cap deficit has shrunk to the positive side of the ledger. Add that to Patrick Mahomes’ contract being restructured for another $43 million in breathing room, and the Chiefs are officially players in the market. But with a massive list of internal free agents, who is truly safe?
On Today’s Show: 🐐 The Kelce Factor: Travis Kelce headlines the UFA list. Does the GOAT sign a team-friendly deal to keep the run going?
🌪️ Backfield Shakeup: With Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt both set to hit free agency, what is the plan at RB?
🛡️ Defensive Decisions: We evaluate the “Big Three” departures: Bryan Cook, Jaylen Watson, and Leo Chenal. Can the Chiefs afford to keep this secondary together?
💨 Targeting Explosiveness: From Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to JuJu Smith-Schuster, we look at which wideouts stay to support Mahomes in 2026.
🧠 The Veach Vision: How the $40M+ in effective cap space changes the draft strategy at Pick No. 9.
