Post-Super Bowl Power Rankings: Where does each NFL team stand entering 2026 offseason? | NFL.com<\/a><\/p>\n Rank 19 With\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0already headlong into his rehab and\u00a0the Chiefs angling\u00a0for\u00a0Travis Kelce\u00a0to lace \u2019em up for one more season, the vibes appear to be slightly back on the upswing in Kansas City. There are still plenty of issues to iron out beyond that, with tackle\u00a0Jawaan Taylor\u2019s contract (set to cost $27.4 million against the cap) and cornerback\u00a0Jaylen Watson\u2019s free-agent status being pretty pressing ones. The Chiefs have let defensive backs walk in past offseasons and could opt to do so again, but it would leave a void. There\u2019s also a need to upgrade the pass rush, as reflected by GM Brett Veach camping out in front of the defensive line group for two straight days of the Senior Bowl. The Chiefs have the ninth overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, which would be their highest pick in more than a decade, and adding another pass rusher to go along with\u00a0Chris Jones\u00a0and\u00a0George Karlaftis\u00a0would make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n Mike Evans just gave Chiefs fans a reason to dream again | Arrowhead Addict<\/a><\/p>\n Two years ago,\u00a0Evans admitted that he had seriously considered the Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0the last time he hit free agency before signing a two-year, $41 million deal to remain with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also admitted the Houston Texans were in the running, but that familial concerns led him to stay with the team that drafted him instead of making a move to a new market.<\/p>\n Evans is now two years older, which will make him 33 years old in August. He\u2019s also coming off an injury-plagued year in which he missed half the season with a concussion and clavicle issue. Evans ended the year with only 30 catches for 368 yards and 3 touchdowns. Such signs might bring up \u201cbuyer beware\u201d concerns, but anyone who watched Evans late last season knows he\u2019s still an incredibly productive receiver.<\/p>\n Free agency is now in Evans\u2019 future once again, and while it\u2019s possible he\u2019ll decide to call it a career after putting up Hall of Fame-worthy numbers over the last 12 years,\u00a0his agent\u2019s (Deryk Gilmore) most recent statement\u00a0makes it seem like he\u2019s going to be back next season.<\/p>\n 4 Reasons Free Agent WR Jauan Jennings Fits Best With Chiefs | Sports Illustrated<\/a><\/p>\n That was the advice of Ben Solak on Tuesday, now that Jennings is preparing for free agency. The ESPN analyst sees Jennings and the Chiefs\u00a0fitting very well next month, but not for Jennings\u2019 ability to help Kansas City in the pass game.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Chiefs need to be more willing to block with their receivers in the running game,\u201d Solak told Kay Adams\u00a0on Tuesday\u2019s edition of\u00a0Up and Adams. \u201cIt\u2019s the No. 1 limiting factor in their running game right now.<\/p>\n \u201cJauan Jennings with the 49ers, man, tough on third down, makes hands catches, physical. But he is an extremely willing blocker. He would bring a degree of physicality that the Chiefs desperately need at the position.\u201d<\/p>\n 7 Chiefs plays make list of top 60 mic\u2019d-up Super Bowl moments, including No. 1 | The Kansas City Star<\/a><\/p>\n No. 1: Matriculating the ball<\/p>\n The Chiefs\u2019 video production company is called 65 Toss Power Trap because of the famous play the team ran in their Super Bowl IV win over the Vikings.<\/p>\n Coach Hank Stram was mic\u2019d-up for the game and NFL Films hit the jackpot. Stram talking about 65 Toss Power Trap and matriculating the ball down field was gold.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Around the NFL<\/p>\n Rams\u2019 Rob Havenstein retires after 11 NFL seasons | ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n \u201c11 years, 150+ starts, 4 time captain, 4 NFC West Championships, 2 NFC Championships and 1x Super Bowl Champion. What a ride it\u2019s been! I can look back on my career and smile knowing I have given everything I had and more to the game I love,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cIn saying that, I am officially retiring from the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n Havenstein, a 2015 second-round pick, was the longest-tenured Rams player, spending all 11 seasons of his NFL career with the team.<\/p>\n Havenstein, a team captain for the past four seasons, started at right tackle for the Rams\u2019 victory in Super Bowl LVI.<\/p>\n Havenstein, 33, started seven games for the Rams during the 2025 season, missing time with an ankle injury. He was designated to return from injured reserve during the playoffs but was ruled out before the NFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n During locker room clean-out after the Rams\u2019 season-ending loss in Seattle, Havenstein said his ankle \u201cwas hurt enough to probably play but hurt enough not to play well.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Chargers safety Nasir Adderley says he will end his retirement, return to NFL | Pro Football Talk<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s now been three years since I left the NFL, and I am extremely happy with my development,\u201d Adderley wrote. \u201cHealth, family, and entrepreneurship were my top priorities, and I\u2019m proud of what I\u2019ve been able to accomplish. The freedom to manage my own schedule was very important to me, but what I didn\u2019t realize was how much I\u2019d miss having football in my life. The competition, the brotherhood, and just being involved in the game that means so much to me and my family. Therefore, I am officially announcing my intention to return to the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n The 28-year-old Adderley was a second-round pick of the Chargers in 2019 and had just finished his rookie contract when he announced his retirement. He is now a free agent and can sign with any team. Adderley was a starter for the Chargers, and a cornerback with the talent to start in the NFL will undoubtedly receive plenty of interest, even if he hasn\u2019t played in three years.<\/p>\n Niners DE Keion White shot in ankle, undergoing surgery; investigation ongoing\u00a0| NFL.com<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cKeion White was a victim of a shooting and sustained a bullet wound to his ankle this morning in San Francisco,\u201d the team statement read. \u201cHe is currently undergoing surgery at a local hospital.
