The Super Bowl victory is still fresh in everyone’s memory, especially in Kansas City. The Chiefs claimed a memorable win over the Eagles in February to lift their third Vince Lombardi trophy and second with Patrick Mahomes under center.

But the team has been losing weapons in the offseason. Not only did they see offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. leave for AFC rivals Cincinnati Bengals, but the wide receiver room also suffered a couple of departures.

JuJu Smith-Schuster signed with the New England Patriots as a free agent, and Mecole Hardman joined the New York Jets shortly after. Therefore, the front office just reached an agreement to bring a new wide receiver.

A seventh-round pick out ofMiddle Tennessee in 2018, James spent three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers but it was in the Big Apple where he found the best version of himself. Last season, he produced 57 catches for 569 yards and four touchdowns.

It’s important to say that he’s more of a return specialist, but he’s a necessary addition to the WR room, which also includes Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, and Skyy Moore.
