Coffee with the Chiefs – So many options

Good morning, Addicts! The Kansas City Chiefs will be veyr much like all of us today, watching th AFC and NFC Championship games on Sunday afternoon and night. While they will surely be wishing they were playing in the first contest, there has to be ample hope and pride moving forward. Sometimes, hope is a good thing.

With that being said, there is much uncertainty surrounding the Chiefs. While the coaching staff is in place and the general manager is solid, what will the front office do with the 15 unrestricted free agents?
