NFL Scouting Combine kicks off the full evaluation process of the next class of rookies preparing to enter the league. The Kansas City Chiefs, due to their late postseason runs, enter another NFL draft with late-round picks.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach revealed what Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes should expect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Speaking at the NFL combine, Veach said that he got the impression that Kelce was “fired up” about playing next season. He added that the team hasn’t placed a deadline on Kelce for his decision — regardless of the cap implications with his contract.

The Chiefs moved Thuney to left tackle for their final six competitive games. And though the move secured a weak spot — and helped the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl appearance — it came apart at the worst time when Mahomes was sacked a career-high six times in a 40-22 Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce plans to play next season rather than retire. The 35-year-old Kelce had been mulling whether to return for a 13th season.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a big concern right now. Travis Kelce is reportedly mulling retirement, and replacing a player of his caliber isn’t easy. Nonetheless, they’re still optimistic about having him back.
