2026 NFL free agency: Chiefs could lose these 30 players next month<\/p>\n

Feb. 26, 2026, 8:36 p.m. CT<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> will see several of their players leave Western Missouri during free agency next month, and after a failed 2025 campaign, the team is expected to make a few moves that could alter its trajectory for years to come.<\/p>\n

Roster construction is an imperfect science in the NFL, but Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has proven himself to be a discerning decision-maker.<\/p>\n

Kansas City won’t have as much money as other teams when free agency opens next month, so the Chiefs will look for opportunities to achieve “addition by subtraction.”<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at all of Kansas City’s players who are set to hit the open market in free agency:<\/p>\n
