With the Super Bowl on deck, the Chiefs also are preparing for big changes on the horizon
The Super Bowl is the end point to a season for which every franchise strives
HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — The Super Bowl represents a natural ending point to the season, one for which every team in the NFL strives. It could represent a much different ending point for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Regardless of what happens Sunday, when they play the San Francisco 49ers for their third title in four trips spread across five years, there is a palpable sense of change on the doorstep. The Chiefs have important players from their run headed into free agency, the word “retirement” follows Andy Reid and Travis Kelce wherever they go and while Patrick Mahomes and others are on long-term deals, many of his closest teammates could very well be gone in the next year or two.
“Listen,” Reid acknowledged this week, “every team is going to be a little bit different. That's just the nature of the NFL."
The two biggest decisions staring at the Chiefs involve what to do with Chris Jones and L'Jarius Sneed.
