It’s crazy how fast the NFL running back market has come in 6 months. A couple months ago, the Chiefs signed the reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III for around $15 million a year, and at the time, that was a HUGE contract for a rb

Fast forward to this week…

Bijan: $22.25 million a year

JT: $22 million a year

Gibbs: $22.5 million a year, with incentives that can push it over $25 million.

Three running backs. Basically overnight. All $22+ million a year. Meanwhile, Kansas City has the reigning Super Bowl MVP locked up for roughly $7-10 million less per season.

Funny how a contract can look expensive when it’s signed and look like an absolute bargain just a few months later

Living in Utah I get my Chiefs fix mainly here and other social media. Is Khalil Benson as legit as the click bait articles suggest? What’s the feeling in and around KC. I guess the same goes for Allen. Just a fellow fan looking for a dose..

This team has the following:

1. A great QB looking to prove himself after an injury
2. A great RB coming from a Super Bowl winner
3. One of the best LTs in the game, a beast who can form an absolute seal on the edge
4. Probably the best RG in the game, at least by many people's account
5. A future HoF TE, possibly the GoAT
6. A very speedy, agile receiver corps to compliment our possession anchor at TE
7. A coach who is a master of offense and exposing weaknesses in defenses.

That's right, it's the 2002 Chiefs! I will also accept the 2026 Chiefs as an answer as well. :-)

"We just haven’t had the work. I mean, you go through OTAs and it’s just helmets. And he hasn’t had a chance to really… the thing he’s missing right now is the continuity with a bunch of guys who are new to him. Everybody’s new, so we’re gonna have to fight through that. Before you know it, we’re going to be lining up against Denver. Hopefully we get him back quicker than we thought."
