The NFL offseason is basically a reality show on steroids—drama, betrayals, and teams doing the absolute most to stay relevant. And after getting humbled by the Eagles in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs are in their villain era. They’re not just patching holes—they’re reloading the whole arsenal to make sure Patrick Mahomes keeps his foot on the league’s neck.

First on their shopping spree? Jaylon Moore, who secured a two-year, $30 million deal. He wasn’t exactly the backbone of the 49ers’ O-line, but with 12 starts in four seasons, he’s got solid experience. And with KC trading away All-Pro guard Joe Thuney, they needed reinforcements ASAP. Protecting Mahomes is priority number one—there was no way they were gonna let him spend next season running for his life.

Step one in making these moves? Finesse the salary cap like Wall Street execs. The Chiefs pulled some contract wizardry on Mahomes and Chris Jones, magically freeing up a ridiculous $49 million. That’s not just ‘let’s grab a few role players‘ money—that’s ‘we’re about to cook‘ money. And trust me, they wasted zero time getting to work. First Moore’s contract and then the defense glow-up.

The Chiefs grabbed cornerback Kristian Fulton, basically telling the AFC, ‘Try us if you want.’ Their secondary got cooked a little too much last season, so this move is all about tightening up. And because KC actually respects special teams, they locked in long snapper James Winchester again. No one talks about long snappers—until a bad snap loses you a game. Then it’s a crisis.

Meanwhile, the Steelers are in their ‘new era, new me‘ phase. They scooped up RB Kenneth Gainwell on a one-year deal after Najee Harris dipped for the Chargers. Gainwell might not be a household name, but he’s got that dawg in him—he could be a major sleeper pick for Pittsburgh.

Up in Minnesota, the Vikings said, ‘Enough is enough,’ and built a literal defensive fortress. They picked up Jonathan Allen from the Commanders and Isaiah Rodgers from the Eagles, basically daring teams to try anything on them in 2025. Good luck getting past that front.

And then we’ve got the Patriots, who are tired of being the NFL’s forgotten child. New head coach Mike Vrabel is clearly not here for another midseason, so they threw a three-year, $43.5 million bag at linebacker Harold Landry III. It’s a ‘fix this defense or else’ type of move. If this doesn’t work, Patriots fans might just start manifesting Brady’s return like it’s 2016.

Bottom line? This off-season is giving blockbuster energy. The Chiefs are cooking, other teams are fighting for their lives, and the 2025 season is shaping up to be absolute chaos. Buckle up—it’s about to be a movie.

Chiefs are in their bag: Offseason moves to keep Mahomes cooking

The Kansas City Chiefs are out here playing chess while the rest of the league is stuck on checkers. This offseason, they’ve been making power moves, locking in key players to make sure Mahomes and the squad stay dangerous. And let’s be real—this front office knows how to finesse the cap like pros.

First off, they added some serious speed with Marquise “Hollywood” Brown on a one-year deal. He=FAST. Like, blink-and-he’s-gone fast. Injuries slowed him down last year, but if he stays healthy? Defenses are about to get torched. Mahomes finally has a legit deep threat, and you already know he’s gonna launch some shots.

On the defensive side, they brought in defensive tackle Siaki Ika, a big dude who’s built like a brick wall. Good luck running the ball against him—he’s about to clog up every gap like it’s rush hour traffic.

The Chiefs’ first RB snatch is Elijah Mitchell from the 49ers in a sneaky-good trade. Not Jaylon Moore. Mitchell has dealt with injuries, but when he’s healthy, he’s a certified playmaker. He brings that one-cut explosiveness KC has been missing.

And then there’s Nick Bolton. The Chiefs made sure their defensive captain isn’t going anywhere, throwing him a three-year, $45 million bag. Some people questioned if they could afford him, but c’mon—Bolton is HIM. His play recognition, clutch tackles, and leadership make him a must-keep. Dude’s the heart of the defense, and KC wasn’t about to let him walk.

Even Travis Kelce was out here manifesting these moves. On his podcast, he said, “We’ve gotta get some pieces… We’ve got a lot of guys we rely on, that we have relied on big-time in the past that have helped us win Super Bowls that are in contract negotiations.” Translation? The Chiefs know they gotta keep stacking talent if they wanna stay on top.

Bottom line—Kansas City isn’t just reloading, they’re doubling down. With these moves, they’re making it clear: the dynasty is far from over. The rest of the league? Yeah, they should probably start stressing.
