Special Teams (3):
| Depth | Player |
| 1 | Harrison Butker |
| 2 | Tommy Townsend |
| 3 | James Winchester |
This was perhaps the biggest change to the entire group. The Chiefs released their longest-tenured player, Dustin Colquitt, after 15 years with the team. It’s bittersweet, but Colquitt’s play was in clear statistical decline at 37 years old. With Colquitt’s departure, apart from needing to find a new punter, Kansas City also has the task of finding a new holder for Butker.
Townsend was one of the most coveted specialists in undrafted free agency. He has the most likely path to the 53-man roster of any Chiefs undrafted free agent, because not only is he a good punter, but he was also the holder for the Florida Gators’ kicker too. He’ll have some competition from Tyler Newsome, who was signed in free agency. So Townsend won’t be the undisputed guy in Kansas City right away. Make no mistakes, though. Townsend is the clear favorite to win the job in Kansas City and I’d expect that to be the case unless the Chiefs can somehow bring back Jack Fox, who was on the 90-man roster in 2019.
