Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs will hardly be able to keep their roster intact after losing the Super Bowl to the Eagles. With just days to go before free agency, the news is not encouraging for the upcoming season.

Joe Thuney will be traded to the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round pick, and other offensive players like Hollywood Brown, Kareem Hunt, and DeAndre Hopkins are free agents.

Now, Patrick Mahomes could lose another key teammate who was crucial on defense in building a dynasty, which, due to the salary cap, could be on shaky ground.

No. The Chiefs would not give a contract extension to Justin Reid, according to a report from Nate Taylor. Although the team has not released official information, it seems likely that the safety will become a free agent.

In a peculiar twist, Reid responded on X to a thread about the report indicating that the Chiefs would not offer him a new deal: ‘Well, that’s news
’ The defensive star clearly couldn’t hide his surprise.
