Chiefs

• Mike Sando of The Athletic notes the Chiefs are facing increased urgency to emphasize the running game after QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending knee injury, signaling a potential shift in offensive strategy.
• Trading for QB Justin Fields and signing RB Kenneth Walker III, the 2023 Super Bowl MVP, could help the Chiefs navigate early-season games and maintain a two-phase offense even after Mahomes returns. One executive said: “I think it points to, ‘OK, let’s survive the early part of the season… It will be a lot of RPO. And they maybe get Walker involved in the passing game so that he can continue to be a two-phase player when Mahomes comes back.’”
• Defensively, Kansas City parted ways with cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. One executive said: “They got their picks back that they spent to get McDuffie, so it is a net zero, and they won two Super Bowls with him in the meantime… Not a bad deal for the Chiefs, who will miss McDuffie, but not the $31 million annual salary the Rams will pay him on a new deal.”
• Another executive commented on the defensive approach, saying: “They are banking on (defensive coordinator) Steve Spagnuolo and the defensive scheme… It looks like Spags saying, ‘Just get me some guys, we’ll be fine.’”
