Chiefs free agency: Top remaining players K.C. should explore signing this week
The Kansas City Chiefs have made several important moves in free agency but still need to add talent if they intend to earn their fourth consecutive Super Bowl berth next season.
With the first week of free agency in the books, Kansas City has the chance to add key veterans to its roster in ways that could reshape the team's approach.
After the Chiefs' devastating loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kansas City's front office returned to basics to address its most pressing needs when the legal tampering period opened.
The signings of offensive tackle Jaylon Moore, running back Elijah Mitchell, and cornerback Kristian Fulton gave fans their first glimpse at what Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has envisioned for Kansas City's new-look roster.
Take a look at the top 8 players remaining on the free-agent market who could be targets for Kansas City in the coming days:
WR Stefon Diggs
Diggs is one of the most exciting wide receivers in the NFL and could help the Chiefs get back to the Super Bowl as a featured piece of Andy Reid's offense next season.
EDGE Von Miller
If Kansas City wants to add a proven pass-rusher to its defense, the Chiefs' front office should get in touch with Miller before another team signs him first.
OL Brandon Scherff
Scherff has earned Pro Bowl honors five times in his career and could be a perfect replacement for Joe Thuney next season.
DB Marcus Williams
The Chiefs let veteran safety Justin Reid walk in free agency, and the team could look to bring in Williams to add a veteran to its young secondary.
WR Tyler Lockett
Kansas State fans would be thrilled to see this former Wildcat suit up for the Chiefs next season. Lockett could be a dynamic asset if he decides to sign with Kansas City to play with Patrick Mahomes.
EDGE Za'Darius Smith
The Chiefs are always looking to bring in crafty pass-rushers, and Smith is among the most accomplished sack masters still available on the free-agent market.
OL Shaq Mason
Mason is a two-time Super Bowl champion who could immediately start on Kansas City's offensive line next season as Joe Thuney's replacement.
WR Amari Cooper
Though Cooper has bounced around the league over the last few years, he is still a valuable asset who should be on the Chiefs' radar in free agency.
