Capping off the 2024 NFL season with a heartbreaking loss in the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to make key adjustments to their roster. They had the chance to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls, but their dream was shattered with a 40-22 defeat against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

As the Chiefs enter the offseason, discussions about potential changes have reportedly begun. Sports Illustrated NFL writer Albert Breer recently highlighted an "underrated aspect" of their offseason strategy. In his article on Monday, he discussed the importance of developing young offensive tackles Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris.

Kansas City is aiming to strengthen its roster ahead of the new season and could rely on the progress of these young players to fill key positions. Speaking about the possible changes, Breer mentioned the significance of their development in shaping the team's future.

"Could one of them (Kingsley Suamataia and Wanya Morris) be better than, say, Rams free agent Alaric Jackson or Steelers free agent Dan Moore Jr.?" Breer wrote. "If so, they can take the money they’d spend to fix the tackle spot, and maybe even some already spent on Jawaan Taylor, and fix other stuff."
