The Kansas City Chiefs have 36 pending free agents heading into the 2024 season. On Monday, the football analytics site Pro Football Focus released its list of the top 200 players set to be available. Seven Chiefs players from 2023 made the list.
As mentioned on these pages Monday, the league’s franchise tag window opens on Tuesday and concludes on March 13. The Chiefs’ most likely tag candidate is cornerback L’Jarius Sneed.
Let’s round up the seven Chiefs, with some quick analysis below:
No. 1: defensive tackle Chris Jones
PFF: It’s rare for a player of Jones’ caliber to reach unrestricted free agency, and Kansas City did not give up the right to franchise tag him for a second time when the two sides agreed to a reworked contract this past offseason.
