Host Calvin Silvers analyzes the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2025 roster and why the rest of the NFL should be concerned despite a turbulent offseason. The Chiefs are entering the new season with a retooled defense after losing key veterans like Justin Reid, but young safety Jaden Hicks is expected to step up and has been named to the 2025 NFL All-Breakout Team. The team’s defense, led by coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, remains disciplined and youthful, with Bryan Cook also in a pivotal contract year. On offense, questions linger about the left guard spot, the future at running back with Isaiah Pacheco’s contract expiring, and how the team will adapt as Travis Kelce ages. Despite these challenges, the Chiefs’ track record of player development and late-offseason moves keeps them at the top of the AFC, and their dynasty status continues to make them the team to beat.

Host Calvin Silvers breaks down the Kansas City Chiefs’ top priorities heading into the 2025 season, focusing on the urgent need to upgrade the safety position after losing Justin Reid. Silvers analyzes two main options: trading for Cameron Curl from the Rams—a budget-friendly but limited coverage option with injury concerns—or signing All-Pro free agent Justin Simmons, whose experience and ball-hawking skills would provide a better fit and valuable mentorship for the Chiefs’ young secondary. The episode also examines the Steelers as potential competition for Simmons but argues Pittsburgh’s aging defense and lackluster offense pose little threat to the Chiefs’ AFC dominance. Silvers wraps up with tough roster decisions looming due to tight cap space, highlighting possible cuts and trade candidates as Kansas City looks to maximize its championship window.
