[Farzin Vousoughian] The Chiefs and Patriots are interested in Packers free agent LT Rasheed Walker, per Jason La Canfora. He allowed 5 sacks and a career high 40 pressures last season while committing 11 penalties. — Rest of post: "He’s allowed 14 sacks and 113 pressures and committed 30 penalties in the last 3 years. All of these numbers includes the playoffs.
He was tied 29th among all offensive linemen in pressures allowed in the regular season. For reference, LG Kingsley Suamataia was tied 26th.
The speculation is that he’d move to right tackle if KC signs him."
Do we believe this? I don't, because Jason La Canfora hasn't been a reliable source in the past and this move makes no sense with how

I'm going to go over the various weaknesses in the roster and coaching staff, as well as addressing cap issues and potential moves for next year, including how likely they are given who our decision makers are.
# Let's start with the offense:
**QB:** ***Patrick Mahomes*** is the best quarterback in the league, full stop.
[Sweeney] Chiefs are looking at the following offensive line vs. The Texans: LT Wanya Morris, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Mike Caliendo, RT Jaylon Moore.
Josh Simmons is doing his thing, but watch the reps where Kingsley Suamataia is left on an island.
[McMullen] Here's the final injury report for KC and Indy. Pacheco was the only limited participant and has been ruled out; everybody else was a full participant. Kingsley and Worthy are officially Questionable for Sunday.
[McMullen] Here's Thursday's full injury report for the Chiefs and Colts. Kingsley, Worthy, and Pacheco were limited; everybody else was a full participant.
[McMullen] Here's Wednesday's full injury report for the Chiefs and Colts. Kingsley and Worthy didn't practice for KC; everybody else was a FP. Charvarius Ward was a FP for Indy.
[McMullen] Kingsley Suamataia (concussion protocol) won’t practice for the Chiefs today. Xavier Worthy tweaked his ankle, per Coach Reid, and they’ll have to see how he’s feeling in regard to practice today. Isiah Pacheco (knee) will practice.
PFF grades for Chiefs week 7
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.
ESPN living in a better timeline —
ESPN proofreaders taking the day off. Do we think that extra win came from the Jaguars, Eagles or Chargers?

Jaylon Moore/Kingsley Suamataia/Creed Humphrey do a great job on the left side picking up this sim pressure overload look from the Lions sending 4 to give Patrick Mahomes 5 seconds to find Travis Kelce clearing the LB window. Brian Branch got Bullied by Suamataia on this play btw.
My reaction to the win. Looking at you Kingsley Suamataia!!
[Nick Jacobs] Kingsley Suamataia did not allow a pressure on 41 pass blocks, the 1st of his career per Next Gen Stats.
[Goldman] Chiefs RB Brashard Smith had one carry against the Eagles. It came during the series when Josh Simmons went out to get fluids in the second quarter. Eagles DT Jordan Davis took on the double team of Creed Humphrey and Kingsley Suamataia and made the tackle. Insane.
[Price Carter] Lots to be frustrated with but at this point last year Kingsley Suamataia had already failed at LT. Josh Simmons 2nd career start: 36 pass snaps. 0 pressures allowed. The #Chiefs have their franchise tackle.

The 5 Hardest Decisions NFL Teams Face ahead of the Off-Season (OC) — The 2024 season has just come to an end but just as quickly as the 2025 off-season began. Adding to the excitement, the cap ceiling rose beyond projections which gave every team a healthy boost in available space, giving a little more flexibility for cap tight teams. Now, the Patriots were always going to be able to outspend everyone else, but this will help teams over the limit and near the middle be a little more aggressive.
But before we can consider external free agency, the draft, or any
The Chiefs May Need to Reinvent Their Offense (An Off-season Breakdown) — [Hey guys, I do a lot of writing, so if you can appreciate the effort here I'll have a lot more going up throughout the off-season on my substack!](https://guidetoteambuilding.substack.com/publish/posts/detail/157279380?referrer=%2Fpublish%2Fhome)
It might be odd to suggest that a team that has been to three straight Super Bowls, won two, and just went 15-2, weren’t exactly great this year, but the Kansas City Chiefs may need to reinvent their offense.
Initially, they stayed ahead of the NFL

Negotiating The NFL Draft - The cost of every draft day trade & the net draft capital each team gained, or lost, through haggling. — A couple weeks before the draft I posted a r/nfl [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1byx10e/2024_nfl_draft_paying_a_premium_1st_round_trade/), that attempted to predict the draft and the price a team may have to pay to move up in a trade. The 28 trades in the 2024 NFL draft were a fairly low amount, so there wasn't as much interest in trades, nor as many suitors available to play off each other to bump up the premiums being asked.
None-the-less, using the draft trade value chart used
