Projecting Chiefs’ starting lineup for 2020 after first week of free agency

What does the starting lineup in Kansas City look like after the first wave of free agency? Not much has changed for the Super Bowl champs.

MIKE: Anthony Hitchens

Hitchens will be the starting middle linebacker for at least another year because of his contract. I expect UDFA Darius Harris to be an understudy this year after not playing at all in 2019 due to injury. He’s a guy who can push Hitchens to be better in 2020 and learn enough to take over the role in the future.
