Chiefs Consider Roster Changes After Disappointing Season

The Kansas City Chiefs are facing significant changes after a disappointing season that has led to their elimination from playoff contention. Head coach Andy Reid has hinted at roster adjustments, stating, 'We're gonna finish these three games and then whoever is still here after, it's time to retool it,' according to KC Kingdom.

With quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffering a season-ending ACL injury, the focus has shifted to evaluating younger players, especially running back Brashard Smith, who has seen limited action this year.

Reid's comments reflect frustration with the current roster and a need for improvement, particularly at the running back position, where Kareem Hunt may be benched to preserve his health for the future.

The Chiefs are looking to use the remaining games as an extension of the preseason to determine the direction of their roster moving forward, as they aim to reshape the team for Mahomes' return in 2026.
