Multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/super-bowl\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Super Bowl<\/a> victories and nearly a decade of dominance in the AFC are now in the past. So, they need key moves to reestablish themselves as contenders.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">As for the coaching staff, <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/andy-reid\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Reid<\/a> will return along with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. However, the biggest change came at the offensive coordinator position. Matt Nagy is out after signing with the Giants, and Eric Bieniemy returns home to take his place.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Regarding the roster, <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/patrick-mahomes\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a> is still recovering from a serious knee injury and hopes to be available in Week 1. <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/travis-kelce\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Travis Kelce<\/a> has not yet confirmed his retirement decision, while there are key spots where everything is uncertain, such as running back. Additionally, in an effort to fight for the championship, the defense needs adjustments to improve.<\/p>\n<p>Who did the Chiefs just sign?<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Chiefs have just signed defensive back Tanner McAllister. During the 2025 season, the player was on the practice squads of teams such as the New York Jets and the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">In fact, he finished the 2025 season on the Chiefs\u2019 practice squad and has now received a new opportunity heading into the start of the offseason. In 2023, McAllister entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Now, the Oklahoma State and Ohio State prospect will have the chance to earn a spot in Steve Spagnuolo\u2019s unit, with the first step being to remain on the 90-man roster to start training camp in a few months.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Andy Reid confirms to Gardner Minshew that Chiefs QB job for next season is not available after Patrick Mahomes injury\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/nfl\/andy-reid-confirms-to-gardner-minshew-that-chiefs-qb-job-for-next-season-is-not-available-after-patrick-mahomes-injury\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"article-also-read-embed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aspect-square max-w-[100px] m-[10px] md:m-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770324499_520_image.webp\" alt=\"Andy Reid confirms to Gardner Minshew that Chiefs QB job for next season is not available after Patrick Mahomes injury\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary my-[13px] uppercase text-alsoReadSeeAlso bg-alsoReadSeeAlsoBackground alsoReadSeeAlso w-fit\">see also<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-alsoReadEmbedTitle font-primary alsoReadLink\">Andy Reid confirms to Gardner Minshew that Chiefs QB job for next season is not available after Patrick Mahomes injury<\/p>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"leading-none\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/staff\/mfcastro\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/mfcastro.webp.webp\" alt=\"miguel angel fernandez castro\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"rounded-full\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-[14px] leading-[20px] min-h-[72px] md:min-h-[52px] mt-[10px] font-authorSignatureDescription hidden md:block\">Miguel Angel Fernandez Castro is a seasoned sports writer and analyst at Bolavip US, with a specialization in NFL, MLB, NBA, College Football, Soccer, Tennis, and Golf.
