The Kansas City Chiefs are getting prepared to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, but 30 other teams are already fully focused on the 2025 NFL offseason.
ESPN recently released a top 50 ranking of the NFL's best free agents, based on a combined analysis by Matt Bowen and insider information by Jeremy Fowler. It's no surprise that two K.C. Chiefs players rank in the top 25.
What's the latest outlook on Trey Smith and Nick Bolton ahead of Super Bowl LIX? It sounds like the game could end up being the last in a Chiefs uniform for each.
Chiefs RG Trey Smith expected to wind up with a new team
Smith is coming off his first-ever Pro Bowl campaign and is expected to be one of the top free agents offensive linemen in this class. Fowler is eye-balling one team in particular for Smith.
Some inside the league are watching Chicago here. General manager Ryan Poles, who needs to drastically improve his interior offensive line for new coach Ben Johnson, was in Kansas City when the Chiefs drafted Smith. Several teams have him as the top overall free agent. – Jeremy Fowler
The other team I'd be watching for Smith is the Tennessee Titans. His relationship with the new Titans GM, Mike Borgonzi, is strong, and he has ties to the area as a former Tennessee Volunteer.
The bottom line is that if he becomes a free agent, the market will be highly competitive. If Kansas City wants to keep him, it might have to use the franchise tag to facilitate the process.
Will Chiefs LB Nick Bolton be extended in 2025?
Bolton told reporters in June that he would discuss an extension with the Chiefs only after the offseason arrived. Well, with the offseason approaching, Kansas City is expected to discuss a deal with Bolton, per Fowler.
The Chiefs and Bolton are expected to discuss a potential extension after the season, but the team has many players to pay and might not prioritize linebacker. Bolton is a Steve Spagnuolo favorite and one of the leaders of the defense. – Jeremy Fowler
Despite being a favorite of Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo, expect Brett Veach to draw a line in the sand regarding what the team is willing to commit at the linebacker position. If the dollars make sense, Bolton could return to Kansas City on a multi-year deal.
