Welcome back to the latest issue of the KCSN Daily newsletter, where we deliver the best Kansas City Chiefs content to your inbox.


Rookies, quarterbacks and select injured players have arrived at the Missouri Western State University campus in St. Joseph, Missouri for training camp. They’ll get a three-day head start on practice, but veterans are now set to arrive just a bit earlier for training camp.

The NFL previously reported that Chiefs veterans would report on Saturday, July 22.


The team has since informed media members that veterans will begin reporting to camp on Friday, July 21 in the afternoon and evening. This will give them time to get settled before the team’s conditioning test on Saturday morning, which will include over a dozen half-gassers (running the width of the football field, up and back).

Quotable:


“Listen, I take my work with me. I’ll spend a couple hours a day working on things, I enjoy doing that, you know some people read novels, I look at plays.” - Andy Reid on when he begins thinking about training camp


“It feels great. I think even going into OTAs I was still a little timid about running, cutting, and doing stuff like that. But when I got closer to mini camp and the later OTA stage, I got that confidence back in my ankle. I’m sure I’m not going to be running a lot right now, but we’ll be testing it, especially in these half gassers. I’ll make sure it’s ready to go and I think I’m in a good spot with it.” - Patrick Mahomes on his ankle


“During the summer, through the break, I was meeting with (QB) Shane Buechele, every day, every morning, just running routes, and putting the ball at each hash so we could work our own 2-minute drills.” - Rashee Rice on how he prepared for training camp


“Hey, like you said, offensive line. That’s what we do, we’re in the trenches. I hit people for fun. I’m very excited to get out there and work with these guys. Great talent out here and just each day get better. That’s all I’m worried about, getting better each day.” - Wanya Morris on putting pads at training camp


“I remember I was on the float (at the 2023 NFL Draft) with (future Chiefs Hall of Famer) Dante Hall. Basically, he said it really simple, ‘Honestly, you play football for a reason, just go out and play. There’s no thought into it, there’s no overthinking it, just go out there and play because at the end of the day, this is just a game. So, once you just play literally just a game like how you did in little league, and just play, do everything right, do everything possible, eat right, do everything, work on your body, everything will just play in place.’ So that’s basically the most simple thing he said and I’ll take it forever.” - Felix Anudike-Uzomah on advice receiver from Dante Hall

After a few days of early releases and leaks to the Kansas City Chiefs 2024 schedule, the full slate is finally here. It is a very unique lineup of games as the Chiefs play on six different days of the week throughout the season and play on six different networks or streaming services.

With Rashee Rice or without Rice, the new-look Kansas City Chiefs will get tested early. With the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers, they play their last two AFC Championship game and their last Super Bowl opponent by week seven.

We have known who and where the Chiefs' 2024 opponents are since the conclusion of the 2023 season, but on Wednesday we will find out when. Games get leaked the days leading up to the release, so unless the NFL cleans up some of that, we may know the answers to a lot of questions before Wednesday evening. This morning, for instance, the NFL announced the Baltimore Ravens will be the ones kicking off the NFL season at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Before diving in, let’s check out who the Chiefs have on the docket in 2024 in their quest for a three-peat.

Amid the Rashee Rice uncertainty, general manager Brett Veach is bringing in a former second-round pick and seven-year vet to potentially add to the wide receiver room. Former Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is reportedly visiting with Kansas City on Thursday.

As the great Terez Paylor used to say, “The contract year is undefeated.” The Chiefs have no shortage of players entering a contract year, which was always going to be the case when you have a draft like the one they had in 2021.

If the Chiefs needed to suit up tomorrow, they absolutely could and they would be the odds on Super Bowl favorites doing so. Kansas City, however, has a chance to do something no one has ever done before in winning three Super Bowls in a row. General manager Brett Veach also has more cap space to play with than he normally does at this point in the offseason, so just because he has a largely complete roster does not mean he is done adding.

Each Kansas City Chiefs team has had a definite identity throughout the Patrick Mahomes era. In those six seasons, they have made the AFC Championship game every year and hoisted three Lombardi’s, but no team was made equal. In 2024, when the Chiefs attempt to be the first team in NFL History to win three Super Bowls in a row, it truly feels like both their offense and defense could be top-five units.

I do not envy general Brett Veach who has to dwindle the Kansas City Chiefs roster from 90 to 53 this coming September. When you go through the exercise of making a way too early 53-man roster projection, some players with upside or experience will have to be left off of the roster. At running back, however, it is anybody’s guess who those three or four players will be.

The Chiefs have had quite the offseason in extending their own amid a dynasty. After making Patrick Mahomes the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history by re-working his deal last September, the Chiefs have gone on to extend Chris Jones, Andy Reid, Brett Veach and now Travis Kelce.
By Tyler Brown 29 Apr, 2024
The Kansas City Chiefs had quite the NFL Draft haul, especially when you consider the consensus NFL Draft big board. Not only did they lock in two potential starters at their two biggest positional needs, but they were able to select nearly all of their rookies below their projected slots.
