One of the saving graces for the Kansas City Chiefs offense in 2024, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was the resurgence of running back Kareem Hunt, who was added to the active roster before their Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

As one of their later free-agency moves, the Chiefs pinpointed this veteran quarterback to be Patrick Mahomes' backup in 2025.

The Chiefs tried again to find their left tackle in free agency this year by signing Jaylon Moore, mostly a backup in his four NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. It's also not out of the question they could draft a candidate to start, though that seems unlikely in a draft thin at the position.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to re-sign quarterback Bailey Zappe to a one-year deal. This comes on the heels of signing free agent quarterback Gardner Minshew on Thursday.

The annual shuffle of Patrick Mahomes' backup quarterbacks continued Thursday, with the Kansas City Chiefs signing former Las Vegas Raiders veteran Gardner Minshew to a one-year deal, according to ESPN.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been fairly quiet in NFL free agency this offseason. They let wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins leave and join another Super Bowl contender in the Baltimore Ravens, but they did sign depth players such as offensive lineman Jaylon Moore and running back Elijah Mitchell.
