Chiefs WR Rashee Rice Continues Serving Jail Sentence as Team Begins Voluntary Offseason Workouts
Kansas City has no inexpensive rookie options at tight end and may need a trade to give Patrick Mahomes more reliable targets.
- ESPN analyst Ben Solak proposed a trade sending Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet and a fifth-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs for a third-round selection.

- Head coach Ben Johnson ran multiple-tight end sets on 501 plays last season at a top-three rate, and the Bears prioritized the position by drafting Sam Roush 69th overall out of Stanford.
- Kmet, playing next season at 27 years old, is under contract through 2027 following his four-year deal and posted 73 receptions and six TDs during his best 2023 campaign.
