Chiefs' 2026 Blueprint: Cap Cuts, Impact Drafts, Offense Reset, Veteran RB
The Chiefs, coming off a 6–11 season and Patrick Mahomes’ ACL injury, must reshape the roster this offseason by trimming expensive veterans (Jawaan Taylor, Mike Danna, Drue Tranquill) for cap relief, using the ninth and 40th picks on high-impact playmakers (notably WRs/DEs), exploring a fresh offensive approach with potential staff changes, and signing a veteran running back in free agency to stabilize a possibly more run-focused attack as Mahomes rehabs.
