The Kansas City Chiefs missed the playoffs in 2025 for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era, partly due to Mahomes’ ACL and LCL injuries. To improve in 2026, the Chiefs need to add an experienced wide receiver to support Mahomes and strengthen their offense.
Key Facts
The Chiefs had an unusual 2025 season by missing the playoffs.
Patrick Mahomes suffered serious knee injuries (ACL and LCL tears) in 2025.
The team aims to make the 2025 season an exception in their history.
Experts say the Chiefs’ wide receiver group is not reliable enough.
Rookie Cyrus Allen is a good fit but not enough to lead the team’s wide receiver position.
The Chiefs have a star running back, Kenneth Walker III, but need more help at wide receiver.
Adding a veteran wide receiver could provide important support for Mahomes, especially in the playoffs.
There is speculation about the possibility of reuniting with former receiver Tyreek Hill.
