If you believed the Kansas City Chiefs were relaxing as the top seed, you might want to reconsider.
While other teams rush to grab playoff positions, Kansas City is focused on building for the future.
With a bit of Travis Kelce’s straightforwardness, we have a week packed with actions and discoveries. Let’s go through everything step by step.
This week, the Chiefs added linebacker Shaun Bradley and defensive back Jason Taylor II to their roster with reserve/future contracts.
These signings are low-risk but might have great benefits in the future. Since reserve/future contracts start in the new league year in March, these players won’t take part in the Chiefs’ playoff games but will have a chance to earn a spot on the team during the offseason.
Shaun Bradley, who was a sixth-round pick from Temple, spent three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, mainly playing on special teams.
His time on the field ended early due to an Achilles injury in 2023. The 27-year-old linebacker is excited about starting anew in Kansas City, where his ability to play multiple positions could boost the Chiefs’ defense.
Standing at 6’1″ and weighing 235 pounds, Bradley is a great choice for the weakside linebacker position in Kansas City.
Jason Taylor II, who was chosen in the seventh round by the Los Angeles Rams in 2023, has a lot of potential for the Chiefs’ secondary.
He had a standout college career at Oklahoma State, where he led the Big 12 in interceptions during his last season.

The 25-year-old played in eight games during his rookie season, contributing a lot on special teams.
Even though he moved between practice squads with the Rams and Cardinals,
the Chiefs have noticed Taylor’s skills. Standing at 5’11” and weighing 208 pounds, he could be a great asset to Kansas City’s defense.
