The Chiefs, winners of two Super Bowls over the past five seasons, are a budding dynasty. Kansas City has made five consecutive trips to the AFC title game. None of this means the team doesn’t have hot seats. Here are three of the hottest:<\/p>\n
After former OC Eric Bieniemy left for the same position in Washington, Nagy replaced him. He served as Chiefs QB coach\/offensive assistant last season. In five seasons under Bieniemy, Kansas City ranked sixth or better in the NFL in yards and scoring.<\/p>\n
As Chicago head coach, Nagy went 48-55<\/a> in four seasons, and his offenses ranked 20th or worse in yards and scoring in three seasons. Of course, he didn’t have Patrick Mahomes running the offense there.\u00a0<\/p>\n Like Bieniemy, Nagy won’t call plays — that’s HC Andy Reid’s domain — but if there is a drop-off in the offense, he could be made a scapegoat.<\/p>\n A rookie in 2022, the second-round pick wasn’t a focal point in the passing game, but that could change in 2023. \u00a0<\/p>\n JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman are free agents<\/a>. Smith-Schuster, a former Pro Bowler, will be challenging to re-sign. Per Sportrac, his market value<\/a> is a four-year deal worth $14.9 million annually. The Chiefs have $17M in cap space, per Spotrac.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n In 16 games, Moore only had 22 receptions for 250 yards, 56<\/a> fewer than Smith-Schuster, who played in the same number of games.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Chiefs are expected to release DE Frank Clark, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter,<\/a> clearing $21 million in cap space.<\/p>\n Clark, who made three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2019-21, is a two-time Super Bowl champion who turned his game up a notch in the playoffs. Per Pro Football Reference, he’s third<\/a> all-time in postseason sacks (13.5).<\/p>\n In 2022, Karlaftis III showed promise as a rookie, recording six sacks<\/a> in 17 games, but the former first-round pick has huge shoes to fill.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n2.
