THE MORNING BREW
2014 season doesn't look promising for Chiefs
A after an uplifting 11-win season from the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, the team's offseason
activity, or lack for thereof, shows no sign of promise this year.
The Chiffs lost eight starters on offense, defense and special teams so far in free agency. Two Pro Bowlers are included among the eight the Chiefs were unable to retain.
To this date, Chiefs General Manager John Dorsey has been unsuccessful in bringing in new starters to the team.
If you are expecting another double-digit winning season from the Chiefs in 2014 during Andy Reid's second year as the coach of the franchise, you will be expecting too much.
The Chiefs have plenty of voids that need to be filled. The offensive line is missing three starters while losing three starters on defense. When it comes to special teams, Pro Bowl returner Dexter McCluster and Quintin Demps both made some noise last season. However, neither were retained and have moved on
During Dorsey's first year as the general manager, he won fans over when he traded for quarterback Alex Smith and remained busy throughout the offseason. Dorsey built a team with eight new starters going into the 2013 season. Kansas City's success eventually translated into the team sending 10 players to the Pro Bowl.
somewhere else.
out a second-round selection due to trading for Smith last year.
To go from adding eight new offensive starters to a dreary offseason so far in 2014 has disparited many Chiefs fans. Although the draft has yet to come, there is no sign the Chiefs will fill all of their holes through the draft with only six picks as the team is with-
The closest thing Dorsey and his staff have done to adding a key player was reaching out to wide receiver DeSean Jackson after his release with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Dorsey knows the Chiefs have plenty of room to improve, which forces him to be active in the offseason in order to make the team better.
After starting 9-0 last season, the Chiefs went 2-5 to finish the regular season and utterly struggled to hold on to a 28-point lead in the postseason loss to Indianapolis.
The Denver Broncos, who fell in the Super Bowl, have added more power to their arsenal and are poised to return to the Super Bowl. Kansas City already has fierce competition in the AFC West. If the Chiefs can't get through the competition in the division, then it will be a long season
for Chiefs fans.
After going 29-67 from 2007 through 2012, 2013 was a magical, long overdue season that Chiefs fans thoroughly relished with the 9-0 start. It took the Chiefs 10 games before suffering their first
loss in the Dorsey-Reid era, which is impressive for a brand new staff. Chiefs fans hoped that was the beginning of something great to come.
But at this rate, it looks like 2014 will be a complete opposite of 2013 for Kansas City. Chiefs fans can only hope that Dorsey and Reid trust their team and know something that we don't go into this upcoming season.
