Chiefs ‘Best’ Offseason Move a ‘Big Deal’ For Patrick Mahomes… full story below

As defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs knew they couldn’t rest on their laurels this offseason as the league tries to keep pace. So, with one glaring weakness on the offensive side of the ball, the franchise went about fixing it.

Patrick Mahomes hasn’t had a speed element to his arsenal since Tyreek Hill left for the Miami Dolphins, and we saw how damaging Hill was in getting downfield for big gains.

Now, Mahomes has two speed merchants, Marquise Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy, to dial up the launch codes for, which he already stated that head coach Andy Reid has been instructing him to do.

CBS Sports named the Chiefs’ acquisitions of Brown and Worthy the franchise’s best offseason moves.

“They selected Texas receiver Xavier Worthy, who ran a record 4.21 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, 28th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and signing Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, a 2019 first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens whose 10 career receiving touchdowns of 20 or more air yards since entering the league are tied for the 12th-most in the NFL in that span,” CBS Sports wrote. “Allowing the best quarterback in football to reliably throw deep again is a big deal.”

A consistent threat down the field was the only glaring thing missing from Mahomes’ offense last season, yet he still managed to steer the team to a Super Bowl win.

Now, with Brown and Worthy, who have acclimated themselves well to the team and the offensive scheme, the Chiefs loom large in 2024.

Chasing three consecutive Super Bowls, the Chiefs appear to have fixed their only weakness. Steve Spagnuolo’s defense remained largely intact, aside from L’Jarius Sneed, who is now a Tennessee Titan.

Mahomes has the final stone in his offensive infinity gauntlet, and the rest of the league has to try and stop not only him and Travis Kelce, which is tough in itself, but now also two speed merchants in Brown and Worthy.

As a defensive coordinator, where do you start?
