The Kansas City Chiefs are back to work at Arrowhead on Monday with the start of the team’s offseason activities.
A total of 26 of the National Football League’s 32 franchises went back to work on Monday with the start of each team’s offseason activities—all of which are voluntary at this point—and that means we’re going to see and hear more in the days to come about the state of certain players and how the roster is looking so far after the bulk of free agency has taken place.
The Kansas City Chiefs are among the teams coming back to home stadiums around the league in order to start training in the offseason, the first in a series of three workout phases. This first phase lasts two weeks and it’s all about meetings and personal workouts to go along with rehabilitation for injured players. The real workouts begin with OTAs on May 22 and those will run for three weeks straight (in three-day stretches), with a mandatory minicamp scheduled for early June.
Five of the league’s other teams came together last week with a bit of a headstart due to new leadership. For Andy Reid and the Chiefs, there are mostly familiar faces to welcome back, but it will be interesting to see how Matt Nagy slides into offensive coordinator and how other positional coaches aim to improve their respective rooms.
