The Kansas City Chiefs' offense, for most, is in good shape as the AFC West franchise turns towards the offseason workouts.

Patrick Mahomes looms as the biggest question mark as he continues his rehab from his ACL injury suffered last season, but there are other concerns.

For some, Mahomes' weapons aren't exactly scary anymore, especially after the 2025 season that saw the offense stutter and splutter.

And for ESPN's Aaron Schatz, he has urged the Chiefs to add a veteran receiver for Patrick.

“The performance of the Chiefs' wide receivers, according to ESPN's receiver scores last season, were significantly bad,” Schatz wrote. “Rashee Rice is generally believed to be one of the league's top slot receivers, but he scored just a 49 out of 100 in an off season. Tyquan Thornton had a 36 and Xaiver Worthy just a 25.

“The top player behind these three receivers is 2025 fourth-round pick , who had just two catches in his rookie season for 4 yards. The Chiefs also have return specialist and fifth-round rookie Cyrus Allen. They really must add a veteran free agent here.”
