The AFC West is changing every season.
The NFL’s free agency period opens today at 4:00 p.m. ET and the legal tampering period has already brought swift changes throughout the division. Some of the biggest free agents from the Denver Broncos, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms elsewhere. Likewise, several new free agents have agreed to join each of the Kansas City Chiefs’ division opponents.
Below you can track all of the moves from the Chiefs’ opponents around the AFC West. You’ll find articles from across our network on free-agent signings, trades, and free-agent departures in the AFC West. You’ll also find my thoughts on the moves so far, which I’ll update as free agency progresses. If you’re looking for our tracker specifically for the Chiefs’ moves in free agency, go here.
Raiders
Raiders agree to terms with Bears LB Nick Kwiatkowski
Raiders agree to terms with Titans QB Marcus Mariota
Raiders agree to 3-year deal with Rams LB Cory Littleton
Raiders agree to 1-year deal with Cowboys TE Jason Witten
Raiders agree to deal with Cowboys DT Maliek Collins
Raiders agree to terms with Cowboys FS Jeff Heath
Raiders agree to deal with Buccaneers DE Carl Nassib
The Raiders have been the most active team in the AFC West. They’re trying to make a splash ahead of their move to Las Vegas. They brought in competition for QB Derek Carr and some solid options at the linebacker position. Their addition of Witten seems to be about establishing a better team culture.
Chargers
Ex-Chargers QB Philip Rivers signs with the Colts
Chargers agree to deal with Packers OT Bryan Bulaga
The Chargers have been fairly hesitant in free agency so far. They were in the running to land QB Tom Brady, who is now heading to Tampa Bay. They added an offensive lineman to protect whoever their starting QB in 2020 will be, but its clear they still have some work to do.
Broncos
Broncos trade for Jaguars CB A.J. Bouye
Broncos agree to terms with Lions OL Graham Glasgow
Broncos agree to terms with UDFA LS Jacob Bobenmoyer
Broncos trade FB Andy Janovich to Browns
Broncos agree to terms with Lions QB Jeff Driskel
The Broncos got trade season started when they acquired Bouye from the Jaguars. They’re sending a mixed message by grabbing Glasgow and trading Janovich. New offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur doesn’t seem to utilize a FB in his offense, but Denver went all-in on the run-heavy gameplan just a year ago. It’ll be interesting to see what that offense looks like in 2020.
