The Kansas City Chiefs' offense, for most, is in good shape as the AFC West franchise turns towards the offseason workouts.
Patrick Mahomes looms as the biggest question mark as he continues his rehab from his ACL injury suffered last season, but there are other concerns.
For some, Mahomes' weapons aren't exactly scary anymore, especially after the 2025 season that saw the offense stutter and splutter.
And for ESPN's Aaron Schatz, he has urged the Chiefs to add a veteran receiver for Patrick.
“The performance of the Chiefs' wide receivers, according to ESPN's receiver scores last season, were significantly bad,” Schatz wrote. “Rashee Rice is generally believed to be one of the league's top slot receivers, but he scored just a 49 out of 100 in an off season. Tyquan Thornton had a 36 and Xaiver Worthy just a 25.
“The top player behind these three receivers is 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals, who had just two catches in his rookie season for 4 yards. The Chiefs also have return specialist Nikko Remigio and fifth-round rookie Cyrus Allen. They really must add a veteran free agent here.”

Do Chiefs need WR depth?
Well, the starters in Rice, Worthy, and Thornton are fine, and Mahomes can get by with them, but if one of them goes down injured, the rotational players behind that trio aren't exactly terrifying.
Royals, Remigio, and Allen are all project players, and if they are called on to step up in a big way, some doubt their ability to do that.
So, this is where a veteran receiver comes into the equation, someone like Jauan Jennings, who is a free agent, could be an option, although he'd be expensive.
So, this will be an interesting watch as the offseason progresses, but until the Chiefs add a veteran piece, their receiver room will always seem a little light.
