Chiefs RB Room in Trouble?! 😬 Only 2 Backs Under Contract for 2026!

In this video, former Chiefs Tight End Jason Dunn, cohosts Marcus Dash, & Teja Dash break down the Kansas City Chiefs’ running back situation heading into the 2026 offseason — and it’s not looking good.

Right now, the Chiefs only have two running backs under contract — Brashard Smith and ShunDerrick Powell — leaving a major hole in the backfield heading into a critical offseason.

The crew discusses how Brett Veach can rebuild the running back room, what type of back best fits Andy Reid’s offense, and whether Kansas City should target a veteran free agent or look to the NFL Draft for a long-term solution.

With the Chiefs in “win now” mode and Patrick Mahomes in his prime, how big of a priority should fixing the run game be this offseason?

  1. Yes, we need to rebuild our EB room, but not by using the early round of draft. Maybe in 3rd or 4th round pick. Or we can find help from free agency. We need running back that can run outside with great vision and great patient.

  2. Less be honest Brashard only played running back for 2 years. We can't expect him to be a legitimate factor. We add a veteran hopefully Walker lll then we still need to draft a explosive back Nick Singleton is that player

  3. 1 Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame
    2 Jonah Coleman, Washington
    3 Mike Washington Jr., Arkansas
    4 Jadarian Price, Notre Dame
    5 Robert Henry Jr., UTSA
    6 Emmett Johnson, Nebraska
    7 LJ Martin, BYU
    8 Hollywood Smothers, NC State
    9 Quintrevion Wisner, Texas
    10 Mark Fletcher Jr., Miami

  4. Im in the minority here. Don't draft Love . Sign a veteran RB , draft an RB in round 4 , resign either Hunt or Oacheco for RB 2. Thats cost saving . Most importantly EB should plead with Andy to run the damn football. Thats my vision.

  5. Just saying we got Pacheco in the 7th. Pick Best edge or D lineman at 9th, Free Agent, running back, with no serious injury past, We are going to have to pay. Patrick needs a break.
