A bigger body as a wide receiver, Justin Watson has consistently grown under Patrick Mahomes and is becoming a red zone favorite for the best QB in the league. Expect the Chiefs to find a way to bring him back into the mix.
For what he brought last season, Kareem Hunt will always have a special place in Chiefs fans' hearts. However, he isn't likely coming back as Kansas City tries to overhaul its ground game. But he has shown that he can an effective man to move the sticks on a game-to-game basis.
Injuries didn't allow Hollywood Brown to meet the expectations that were set in the off season. It looks unlikely that he will return to the Chiefs, but if he can be brought back on a cheap deal, the electric offense that Kansas City was promising this year might become a reality next season.
Since being brought over DeAndre Hopkins saw his touches and targets reduced by a significant margin. It is unlikely that he is brought back by the Kansas City Chiefs, and instead could find himself on a younger team acting as a veteran presence for their quarterback.
Keeping Justin Reid under contract won't be an easy task for Kansas City. But with the third most tackles last season, he has been a key part of the team functioning as an elite unit.
Nick Bolton has been a key to the Chiefs' outstanding defense over the last few years, and has fit like a glove with Steve Spagnuolo's schemes. It is going to be hard for them to retain Bolton as their salary cap continues trending up.
One of the best free agents available this entire offseason, Trey Smith is going to likely command a lot of money, which might make him an impossibility for the Chiefs to bring back. However, a franchise tag might be in play for the veteran guard.
