[SleeperChiefs] “It was a major injury, and he’s attacking it like you could imagine, but I think what you’re going to get is what you get every single year from Patrick Mahomes—and that’s the best version of himself.”
Who are the coaches, GMs, and owners with a 100% approval rating among their fanbases? — Brett Veach and Andy Reid have delivered more than any Chiefs fan would have ever thought possible. Literally beyond anybody in KC's wildest expectations. Now, after one down year, there is a pretty vocal part of the fanbase that believes both are washed and it is time to move on (or at least, that both should be on the hot seat). It's not a majority or anything, but they no longer have the 100% approval rating they would have had as recently as 2023 or 2024.
That got me thinking - who are the

That part is exciting to see and what takes place. It's something to look forward to. It's not where you want to be, but it is where we are."

Blast from the past: A laundry list of failures by Brett Veach and our FO regarding the current state of our offense — Here's an old post about some of the draft misses that have gotten us in this hole. Add in the desire to force Kingsley into the starting rotation instead of taking another draft loss. We've had abysmal early-round drafting for a while.
Here's the other side of this, the players that have been good draft picks, like L'Jarius Sneed, couldn't be retained due to cap restraints. And multiple free agent signings that have worked, like Honeybadger and Justin Reid, had to be moved on from. We've reta
Official r/NFL Week 15 Power Rankings — Welcome to week 15 of the 2025 r/NFL power rankings, the most biased-unbiased source for power rankings on the web. Following an AFC East battle, the Rams reclaim their throne. The Broncos and Texans are peaking at the right time with two more strong wins, but nobody jumped higher than the Ravens. The biggest drop came from the Chiefs (-7),with a playoff elimination adding insult to injury. The Patriots drop 21 and another three spots, while the Panthers are rightfully punished for losing to the
[Kay Adams] Tyrann Mathieu back to the Chiefs??? HE'S ALL FOR IT. Brett Veach on line 1.
Chiefs' draft failures to bring Jones & Kelce successors — Brett Veach has been GM for 7 years. He inherited Chris Jones & Travis Kelce from John Dorsey, his predecessor.
For these 7 years, Veach had so many 1st and 2nd round picks but just never obtained successors for Jones & Kelce while they are aging to 31 and 36, respectively.
A successful successor doesn’t have to be 100% as powerful like Jones & Kelce because they are 100% going into HOF. 95 & 87 are both unicorns and once in a lifetime level.
However, a successor must be at least a high quali
[Derrick] Chiefs OC Matt Nagy says he hasn’t considered who will start at left tackle when Josh Simmons returns — Thought I’d share this, although pretty sure it means next to nothing and is just being nice.

[Jones] Cincinnati has released Mike Pennel 👀 — Releasing this guy in favor of making room for Derrick Nnadi is one of the dumbest moves Brett Veach has made up to this point in his illustrious career as GM!! Bring him back now!!!
Grateful to be a fan of this team. — I'm grateful for Andy Reid. Patrick Mahomes. Brett Veach. Spags. Toub.
I love how they handle defeat. They got back to work. They owned it. Our best ever QB puts all the blame on himself. They don't turn on each other. Have each other's backs to a fault.
I love this football team...... except Butker. He's still on notice lol
Make it make sense. . . — Beat the number 1 ranked team convincingly as the 7th ranked team. They move down 1 spot from the loss. . . Chiefs move down 2 spots.
I know these are subjective and tha5, in theory teams below may also have convincing wins.
Butnif knicking if the former nukber 1 doesnt get you a bump, and instead youre moved down, then the rules are made up and the points dont matter.
[Sweeney] The Chiefs remain mum on Josh Simmons' status. Head coach Andy Reid said GM Brett Veach is handling the situation and is unwilling to say anything else.

I Totally Called That: What "hunch" do you have about the 2025 team? — Interested in hearing your gut-feeling about this season... good or bad. Things that might be a little "in the weeds."
My general hunch is that a Renaissance is set-up to happen, and a lot of overdue flowers will be given.
HUNCH #1: The Chiefs didn't just add players to the offense, they added (and welcomed back) explosive players. Defenses will not be able to cover everyone (not even the elite ones), so one or two different guys each week will have monster games (100+ yds, 1+ TD). Which wi

Will Brett Veach ever spend big at WR again in Mahomes era? — I say this cause Rashee Rice has 2 more years on his rookie deal and if he goes for 1,000+ yards and near 10 or more TD’s over these next 2 years to become a house hold top WR in the league like we all expect, his price tag for his next contract will only sky rocket. Veach showed boldness and no hesitation showing Tyreek Hill the door and trading him when he wanted his extension. But that time felt different as Mahomes still had prime Travis Kelce for 2022-23 at least before his decline began la

Text from the linked Kelce article about his podium appearance:
On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce met with local reporters for the first time since his decision to return to the league for his 13th season. Kelce’s current contract runs through the 2025 season, which has long been perceived as a logical end point.
However, the 35-year-old held back from confirming the grand finale.

[Breer] Statement from Chiefs GM Brett Veach on Chris Jones
Brett Veach on potentially trading Chris Jones: “I think the best resolution would be for him to end his career as a Chief and get that financial security…hopefully, we get this resolved, but we have no intentions of making a trade.” — >“He’s a great player, and he wants a big contract,” Veach said. “He deserves a big contract, and I don’t think there’s any surprises in that regard. But there’s just some hurdles we have to work through in regards to how we can keep this thing going for the short- and long-term. But we’ve never wavered on, ‘This is a guy that we want to exhaust all of our efforts to get done,’ because that’s how much we think of him.”

[Sports Illustrated] How Brett Veach and the Chiefs front office planned early to build their team around the Franchise QB — One of the most interesting tidbits from this article talks about the Chiefs decisionmaking surrounding the Tyreek Hill trade, particularly a philosophy of "Well we need to build through the draft now, and we won't hit on every pick, but we can take more swings if we use a lot of picks."
"...when the Jets offered the 10th pick straight up for Hill, the Chiefs balked and asked for a package based on volume (rather than quality) picks, to try to avoid being the team that got Troy Williamson for R
If you were Brett Veach, would you sacrifice your draft capital to win now or take the long-term approach if it meant a few down years? — The Chiefs are in a very interesting spot.
