The Kansas City Chiefs have had to start thinking about replacing Travis Kelce through the 2026 NFL Draft, so here are three players to keep tabs on this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (87) prepares to hit the field during the first quarter against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025.

The losing streak has been hard for everyone on the Kansas City Chiefs, but Travis Kelce's revelation to Andy Reid might be the start of a realization.

The Kansas City Chiefs needed a young player to step up for some optimism when thinking about the future, and that's exactly what this young Chiefs defender did.

The Kansas City Chiefs need to come to terms with one of their veteran defenders and whether it's smart or not to bring him back for 2026.

The Kansas City Chiefs needed a spark last night against the Denver Broncos, and while they didn't win, Brashard Smith showed he can be a major part of the future.

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Denver Broncos on Christmas, but the real story was whether or not Chiefs Kingdom just witnessed the final game of Travis Kelce at Arrowhead. Here's what he did in his potentially final home game.

The Kansas City Chiefs took the field at Arrowhead one last time this season, looking for some Christmas magic to take down the leaders of the AFC West. rel

Things didn't go well for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, but one analyst and long-time Chiefs fan still has hope that this franchise can get back to the dance in the near future.

The Kansas City Chiefs obviously need a running back for 2026, and going about that through the 2026 NFL Draft might be the move, especially if they're continuously connected to this running back option.
