Over the last five years, the Kansas City Chiefs have proven to be a strong force in the National Football League, and they are currently on their fourth consecutive Super Bowl run.At the moment, quarterback Patrick Mahomes II is without a doubt the best quarterback in the NFL, and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has made the Chiefs defense one of the most formidable in the whole football league.
The Chiefs’ offense, despite their impressive playoff performances against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and first-seeded Baltimore Ravens, is still lacking. Even with elite performances from Kelce, the team still lacks a true number one receiver, and some of their depth options appear questionable.Even though Marques Valdez Scantling was a first-round pick and Kadarius Toney had a three-year, $30 million contract, they combined for less than 500 yards in the regular season. Toney is plagued by drops.The Chiefs most recently paired with Tennessee Titan and former All-Pro running back Derrick Henry in anticipation of the March free agency window, despite the impressive play of their “bell cow” back, second-year player and former late-round pick Isiah Pacheco.
Benyon is correct; Henry is definitely set up for life, barring any unforeseen events or significant changes, and has made a respectable amount of money (for a top NFL player).
It is therefore true that, as his career nears its end, Henry might be reflecting more on the championships he was unable to win and the Super Bowls he was unable to attend than on how to maximize his earnings in the remaining years of his career.
And a perennial contender like Kansas City makes about as much sense as anyone, if that is indeed the case.
But with two years left, it’s crucial to remember that Pacheco has established himself as one of the league’s top 10 running backs in the eyes of many.
Though he would only get a few touches and be the supporting cast member behind a younger, faster back in his prime, would Henry still like to win a Super Bowl? Maybe, but I doubt he would go to Missouri first, especially if he has to give up a salary to do so.
Furthermore, it doesn’t really make sense for the Chiefs, who are already in desperate need of receiver reinforcement. They don’t really need another elite tailback behind Pacheco, though one would not hurt, and it would be a misallocation of resources to use their limited cap room, much of which is taken by the highly compensated Patrick Mahomes.
Thus, in the end, Baltimore would likely be a better location, particularly
