## Resource

Kansas City Chiefs face uncertainty at tight end as rookies and quarterbacks gear up for training camp. Can Brett Veach solve looming roster gaps before the season opener? Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy break down which first-year players and injured veterans like Omar Norman-Lott might report early, and spotlight key position battles that could reshape Andy Reid’s offense. Patrick Mahomes’ evolving role under center and the integration of new weapon Kenneth Walker headline the playbook changes, while concerns linger over Noah Gray’s development and Travis Kelce’s workload. The hosts debate potential trade targets, free agent fits like Jonnu Smith and Will Dissly, and examine how rookie defenders—including top picks at corner, defensive tackle, and defensive end—could make or break Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. Will smart intensity in camp set the Chiefs on a path for a three-peat, or expose depth concerns that threaten sustained dominance?
