Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs talks with head coach Andy Reid before Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024
The Kansas City Chiefs have been the league’s model franchise for the better part of a decade, picking up the mantle from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and creating their own dynasty.
But the ride could be coming to an end soon, an NFL analyst warns.
Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon gave a tough assessment of the team’s Super Bowl window, predicting that the team’s aging and deteriorating roster could bring an end to one of the more successful eras in NFL history.
Kansas City Chiefs Could Hit Downturn
Gagnon noted that the Chiefs still have a chance as long as Patrick Mahomes is quarterback, but noted that the roster around him is growing worse and hinting that the two-time MVP won’t be able to do it all himself.
Gagnon suggested that the Chiefs could have as much as three years left in their Super Bowl window, but also speculated it could slam shut this season.
“It’s begun to feel as though the party is over, but you just never know with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes,” Gagnon wrote. “The future Hall of Fame quarterback is still only 30, but the roster in general has been deteriorating for quite a while.”
