Chiefs face patchwork offense after Maclin release and new faces
The Chiefs overhaul their offense after releasing Jeremy Maclin to save cap space. Tyreek Hill and rookies step in as top receiving threats while Spencer Ware’s injury and limited veteran skill players heighten question marks. Kelce remains a key target though QB Smith must prove himself ahead of Mahomes. On defense, health concerns loom with Houston, Johnson and Berry rehabbing injuries while new faces try to steady the unit.
