Kansas City has a greater appeal to free agents after Super Bowl LIV
Veach expects the Chiefs to be able to be more competitive in the 2020 NFL free agency period than they were after Patrick Mahomes’ MVP season. Now that they’ve got a Super Bowl title under their belt, there will be a variety of players looking to join the squad.
“It helps because I think that players want to play on the biggest venues and in the brightest lights,” Veach said of the Super Bowl win. “They know that coming here and having the opportunity to play in front of our great fans, and playing at Arrowhead, you’re going to get a lot of primetime games. You’re going to be on the national spotlight a bunch. I think this certainly will help us and any ties that there are as you get closer to signing guys, we’ll be able to confidently say that we’ll win most of those ties.”
Players don’t just get to play with one of the best players in football in Mahomes, but they get an increased profile with all of the primetime games the Chiefs will participate in. That’s a pretty big draw for players that are looking to build their own brand.
