The Chiefs came up short in their quest in becoming the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, but they are the first repeat champion to make it back to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs also became the first team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-year span.<\/p>\n<p id=\"S4y7ra\">Kansas City made it back to the Super Bowl despite wideout Rashee Rice suffering a season-ending injury in Week 4 and running back Isiah Pacheco missing a large chunk of the year after getting injured in Week 2. Pacheco was not the same player when he returned from his injury, which was one of the reasons why the Chiefs\u2019 season ended the way that it did.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"6q5WdI\">NFL Rumors: Chiefs\u2019 Travis Kelce \u2018Leaning\u2019 Toward 2025 Return amid Retirement Buzz | Bleacher Report<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"id\/article\/slide\/5159107\/element\/1\">Per The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is \u201cleaning more toward\u201d returning in 2025 rather than retiring.<\/p>\n<p id=\"id\/article\/slide\/5159107\/element\/2\">\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a sense that Travis is going to try to play more,\u201d Russini said on <em>The Rich Eisen Show <\/em>(2:00 mark). \u201cI haven\u2019t heard anyone saying \u2018Yeah, he\u2019s really struggling with what he wants to do.\u2019 It\u2019s definitely leaning more towards that. That can of course change&#8230; But for this Chiefs operation looking to move forward here, I think they feel pretty good that Travis has a little more left in him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"id\/article\/slide\/5159107\/element\/6\">Kelce, 35, is likely past his prime, but he can still be productive for the Chiefs as they look to get back to the Super Bowl. He\u2019s coming off a season in which he recorded 823 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 97 receptions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"j3zwvy\">NFL beat writer mock draft 2025: Giants, Raiders secure their futures at QB | The Athletic<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"m90a1d\"><strong>31. Kansas City Chiefs: Donovan Jackson, LT, <\/strong>Ohio State<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZRQG3N\">Even without trading up or forcing the pick, the Chiefs address their biggest roster need. Jackson has exceptional strength and appears to have the fluid footwork necessary to protect Patrick Mahomes\u2019 blind side. After switching to left tackle late last season, he produced an impeccable playoff run that helped Ohio State win the national championship. Jackson\u2019s punch against edge rushers was noticeable, a trait the Chiefs need to help elevate their passing attack. <em>\u2014 Nate Taylor<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"3RCCyA\">2025 NFL Mock Draft: All skill player edition | PFF<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"1hZshd\"><strong>31.<\/strong> KANSAS CITY CHIEFS<strong>: RB <\/strong>DEVIN NEAL<strong>, <\/strong>KANSAS<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZQTiAm\">The Chiefs run game was ineffective throughout the playoffs and non-existent during the Super Bowl. While many top running back options from this draft are off the board, this class is deep at the position, so Neal should improve them instantly. Neal can fill Isiah Pacheco\u2018s role if Pacheco doesn\u2019t rebound from his down 2024 season.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"6J5c7z\">2025 NFL mock draft: Cam Ward to Titans, Travis Hunter falls out of top four | FOX Sports<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"WdZqOX\">31. Kansas City Chiefs: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State<\/p>\n<p id=\"CxniwJ\">While offensive line seems like the obvious choice here after their performance in the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes needs another weapon with Travis Kelce aging and Xavier Worthy still learning the nuisances of being a complete receiver at the next level. Egbuka is the Buckeyes\u2019 all-time leader in receptions and had double-digit touchdown catches in two of his last three seasons in Columbus. He\u2019s a possession receiver who serves as a great compliment to Worthy\u2019s deep-threat ability.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"Ggw5Ea\"><strong>Around the NFL<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"9fXI48\">Source &#8211; Saints expected to hire Eagles\u2019 Doug Nussmeier as OC | ESPN<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"g65FOU\">Nussmeier has worked alongside new Saints head coach Kellen Moore at a number of stops, most recently in Philadelphia where he served as quarterbacks coach for Jalen Hurts and the Super Bowl champion Eagles.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1q3fy5\">Nussmeier was the quarterbacks coach during Moore\u2019s stints as offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys (2019-22) and Los Angeles Chargers (2023) as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pVPFdj\">Nussmeier, 54, is a former QB himself with ties to the area. He was selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 1994 draft out of Idaho and spent four seasons in New Orleans, followed by brief stints with the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"zucMFo\">Cowboys OL Zack Martin to retire after 11 seasons in NFL | NFL.com<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"Gyb4Ih\">Martin\u2019s impact on the Cowboys cannot be measured by traditional statistics, but those who followed the team during his career know how valuable he was to the organization. He started in every game in which he appeared (162, plus nine playoff contests), protected quarterback Dak Prescott as the Mississippi State product rose from afterthought to star signal-caller, and cleared running lanes for Ezekiel Elliott, who led the NFL in rushing twice in his first three seasons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2IwHow\">As faces changed both on the field and the sideline, Martin remained a constant. He was one of the most reliably excellent players in the NFL \u2014 regardless of position \u2014 reaching a Pro Bowl and earning an All-Pro nod in every season but one during his career. He even commanded a pay raise at 32 years old.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"cdPz9a\"><strong>In case you missed it on Arrowhead Pride<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"zavzBi\">Chiefs Roster: Ranking Kansas City\u2019s top 5 positions of need in 2025<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"JL4aSt\"><strong>2. Wide receiver<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"SYLOMO\">The Chiefs have successfully invested in the wide receiver position over the last two drafts, forming a strong duo in Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy to lead the receiving corps into the future.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2qMPO3\">It leaves plenty of work to do to surround them for 2025, especially with Rice\u2019s early-season availability in question. The final parts of Super Bowl LIX showed off Worthy\u2019s downfield speed, and the Chiefs need to find a way to unleash that next season. That means surrounding him with other playmakers that garner attention from coverage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jeosqX\">The handful of receivers set to leave the Chiefs in free agency features Hollywood Brown, a strong re-sign candidate, but the rest are role players due to be replaced by younger, higher-ceiling prospects.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"JgMneR\"><strong>Social media to make you think<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"CZVh68\">\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>The 2 narratives surrounding Travis Kelce this off season will be funny.<\/p>\n<p>1.
