The Chiefs will return 20 of 22 starters from their Super Bowl winning roster, kept Eric Bienemy as their offensive coordinator, added Clyde Edwards-Helaire and just signed Patrick Mahomes to a 10-year extension through 2031. What an offseason.

the talent...the success...the attitude...not even the best part about Patrick Mahomes. He is one of the nicest guys I have ever been around.
There’s talking about humility, and there’s living it. Such a pro and a great human being. A truly good guy of the NFL.
