The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to be active in free agency this offseason as they look to rebound from missing the playoffs for the first time in several years. One key target reportedly on their radar is a Super Bowl-winning wide receiver who could provide a major boost to their passing attack.
Why it matters
The Chiefs' failure to reach the postseason in 2025 was a surprise, and the team will need to make some strategic moves in the offseason to get back on track. Adding a proven playmaker at wide receiver could be a game-changer and help Patrick Mahomes and the offense return to their high-powered form.
The details
While the specific player has not been named, reports indicate the Chiefs are pursuing a wide receiver who recently won a Super Bowl championship with another team. This veteran wideout would provide an experienced and talented target for Mahomes, complementing the team's other receiving options.
- The Chiefs' 2025 season ended without a playoff berth, the first time that has happened since 2017.
