Kansas City Chiefs receive C+ grade for 2026 offseason moves
Summary

The Kansas City Chiefs earned a 'C+' in ESPN's offseason report card for the 2026 NFL offseason. Evaluator Seth Walder noted that the front office's performance was average, highlighting the return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after Matt Nagy's contract was not renewed. The team signed notable free agents, including reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III, but Walder expressed skepticism about the investment in the running back position. Among other signings were Khyiris Tonga, Justin Fields, and L’Jarius Sneed. With recent draft selections like Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods, and R Mason Thomas, the Chiefs currently have $4.1 million in cap space.
