The Kansas City Chiefs have been fairly quiet in free agency. They opened the 2020 league year with 60 players on the 90-man offseason roster. They’ve added six players since the onset of free agency, including re-signing three of their own free agents.
As the salary cap space begins to thin, they’ll have to make some moves if they’re to add more players during the course of free agency. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach may move his attention to the 2020 NFL draft, which is set to take place April 23-25.
Here are our latest updated projections for the offseason depth chart as the roster currently stand:
Offense (35)
| Pos. | First | Second | Third | Fourth |
| QB | Patrick Mahomes | Chad Henne | Kyle Shurmur | Jordan Ta’amu |
| RB | Damien Williams | Darwin Thompson | Darrel Williams | Marcus Marshal, Eljiah McGuire, Mike Weber |
| FB | Anthony Sherman | John Lovett | ||
| WR | Tyreek Hill | Demarcus Robinson | Byron Pringle | Gehrig Dieter |
| WR | Sammy Watkins | Mecole Hardman | Jody Fortson | Felton Davis |
| TE | Travis Kelce | Deon Yelder | Nick Keizer | Alize Mack |
| LT | Eric Fisher | Greg Senat | ||
| LG | Martinas Rankin | Andrew Wylie | ||
| C | Austin Reiter | Nick Allegretti | ||
| RG | Laurent Duvernay-Tardif | Ryan Hunter | ||
| RT | Mitchell Schwartz | Mike Remmers | Jackson Barton |
Observations:
- Kansas City added St. Louis BattleHawks quarterback Jordan Ta’amu. Typically the Chiefs like to go into training camp with four QBs, so this will allow them to do that. Don’t expect him to push for the No. 2 job, but he should be solid competition for Kyle Shurmur during the course of the offseason program.
- The Chiefs re-signed fullback Anthony Sherman. The team remains one of the few NFL teams to utilize a FB in their offense. He’s been a leader in the locker room and a contributor on special teams.
- Mike Remmers is one of the few outside free agents that Kansas City has added. He replaces both Cam Erving and Stefen Wisniewski, with the versatility to play four spots on the offensive line. For now, I have him listed as the backup right tackle because that is where he’s put in the most snaps during his career.
