Unless that happens, expect Brett Veach to remain relatively silent until the regular season begins. Rookie running back enters his first season with the Chiefs in 2022. Making a bigger move before the season begins at this stage just doesn’t make sense unless an unexpected player is made available on the trade block or waiver wire. At that point, the Chiefs will know which positions are really problems and which turned out okay. This means the Chiefs will be major players at midseason and they have several games between now and then to allow the younger players and newer faces on the roster to grow together and work things out. Those assets will come in very handy at the NFL’s trade deadline. They also have 12 draft picks scheduled for them to make next spring. Right now, the Chiefs have a decent amount of cap space ($11M and should retain a solid amount even after signing Brown). While some fans would love to see a big-time trade for a Robert Quinn or something else to shore up edge rusher (or a similar move to bolster defensive tackle or wide receiver or cornerback), the Chiefs’ best move would be to stay quiet for a while. Either way, these are likely the only moves being made. Alex Okafor makes the most sense here in terms of familiarity and cost, but other names could play a part here, too. to a contract extension and a potential low-level veteran addition at defensive end. The only moves in front of Veach at this point are the long-term signing of Orlando Brown Jr. But even if Veach agrees with the potential concern, making a big move right now-before the regular season begins-simply doesn’t make sense.

Still, some fans might be hoping to see general manager Brett Veach make a swing or two in the preseason for another major piece of the puzzle given the perceived needs yet on the team. Save for the last-minute signing of a veteran here and there, most teams are done with major roster construction and that certainly includes the Kansas City Chiefs.

Deadlines for all manner of tagged players as well as free agents have also drifted through.

The first-year player draft has come and gone. It’s true that the majority of major offseason moves are done for each and every team by this point in the NFL’s calendar. The Kansas City Chiefs are likely done making any major roster moves at this point before the regular season begins.
