Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are facing one of the toughest challenges in recent NFL history. It’s not easy to bounce back from a Super Bowl loss, and in fact, in most cases, teams that fell in the title game don’t even make it back to the playoffs the following year.

Despite that, the Chiefs are clear favorites in the AFC West, where the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers are beginning to emerge as threats. However, they still seem far from competing for the divisional title. As for the Raiders, they are starting another rebuilding process under Pete Carroll.

Now, general manager Brett Veach has made a very important decision regarding a key player on the offense for Patrick Mahomes. A big surprise just days before free agency.
