The NFL is using the Chiefs as its ultimate carrot once more, dangling them on the prime-time and streaming market in return for millions. You can almost picture it, a league executive sliding a sheet of paper across the table and a network producer unfolding it to read two scribbled words: “Patrick Mahomes.”

Kansas City Chiefs schedule is being released today as the NFL reveals the entire slate of games. Follow live updates.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and Co. have been to five of the last six Super Bowls, including each of the last three. They have taken home three Lombardi Trophies during that span, including in back-to-back years during the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, but will be trying to return to the top of the mountaintop in 2025.

The Kansas City Chiefs are predicted to add another receiver in next year's draft. Carnell Tate can have a breakout next season, which will boost his draft stock.

Veteran Carson Wentz is still on the free agency market, and a veteran coach in the AFC West could sign him to be his next backup quarterback.

The NFL will have another tripleheader on Christmas Day (Dec. 25) during the 2025 regular season, with the Cowboys, KC Chiefs and Lions all in action.
