The Kansas City Chiefs have several gaps to fill on offense this offseason while awaiting the return of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recovering from a torn ACL that ended his season in 2025.

After bringing back Eric Bieniemy as the offensive coordinator, the Chiefs could add an explosive running back to get the ground game going.
Kansas City has questions at receiver and tight end. Tight end Travis Kelce has not revealed if he plans to retire this offseason to return to the Chiefs. Wide receiver Rashee Rice is dealing with issues off the field.
The Chiefs also want to upgrade a position that has been patchwork for a few seasons: left tackle.
Per Jason La Canfora of SportsBoom, the Chiefs are interested in Green Bay Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker.
La Canfora quoted an anonymous general manager who thinks Reid will try to address the offensive line in free agency.
"I think Big Red wants this fixed before the draft if he can," the GM said.
"Walker makes sense. He has the size (6-foot-6) they want on the edge. Then he can go skill guys on day one and day two (of the draft). They need more speed and twitch at receiver, tight end, running back."
Walker, a seventh-round pick by the Packers in 2022, is expected to ask for a deal worth approximately $25 million per year. That would be costly for a Kansas City team that still needs to clear over $11 million in cap space before free agency, per Over the Cap.
In 2025, Walker beat out 2024 first-round pick Jordan Morgan to earn the starting job.
During his four seasons in the league, Walker has appeared in 52 games and started 48 games.
Walker would give the Chiefs a solid starter at left tackle to protect Mahomes. But it would come at a high cost when the team has several other needs on a roster that failed to make the playoffs last season.
