Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs face a very challenging offseason after losing the Super Bowl to the Eagles. The salary cap will be a tough enemy to overcome while trying to maintain a competitive roster.

In addition, Geno Smith’s arrival to the Raiders makes the AFC West likely the most challenging division in the NFL. It’s important to remember that the Chargers and the Broncos made the playoffs with two young quarterbacks like Justin Herbert and Bo Nix.

Now, another major issue adds to the list. Xavier Worthy, one of the most important teammates for Patrick Mahomes, has been arrested, and this could lead to a significant suspension.
