The Kansas City Chiefs are making waves this offseason, and we've got the latest updates to keep you in the game. Let's dive into the headlines that matter most for Chiefs Kingdom.
Mike Danna Heads to Buffalo
After six seasons in red and gold, outside linebacker Mike Danna is taking his talents to the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills signed Danna to a one-year contract, marking a significant shift in the defensive landscape. Danna, originally drafted by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, was a consistent contributor in Kansas City. In 2025, he started 14 games, posting 25 total tackles, one sack, one interception, four quarterback hits, and three tackles for loss. Over his six-year career, Danna appeared in 87 games (49 starts), amassing 194 tackles, 21.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 51 quarterback hits, six forced fumbles, and one interception. His best season came in 2023 when he recorded career highs of 50 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and 13 quarterback hits. Danna will wear No. 51 for the Bills, who released cornerback MJ Devonshire in a corresponding move.
Rookie Edge Rusher Brings the Heat
The Chiefs addressed a key need in the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting edge rusher R Mason Thomas with the 40th overall pick. Thomas, who was ranked as a top-25 player on many boards, is a steal at this spot. While he may lack ideal size at 6-foot-2 and 249 pounds, he makes up for it with explosive athleticism. Thomas is a blur off the edge, boasting a lightning-fast first step and active, combative hands. The Chiefs were in need of pass rushers who can get home quickly to relieve pressure on star defensive tackle Chris Jones, and Thomas fits the bill perfectly.
A Quarterback with Potential
In the later rounds, the Chiefs took a flier on quarterback Garrett Nussmeier with the 249th pick. Despite health concerns that caused many teams to pass on him, Nussmeier is viewed as a high-upside prospect. Analysts have compared his game to Tony Romo, suggesting he has the tools to eventually compete for a starting job. For a late-round pick, this could be a savvy investment for Kansas City's future depth.
A Stadium Transformation
Arrowhead Stadium is getting a makeover for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Crews are currently installing a soccer pitch and removing hundreds of signs as the venue temporarily becomes "Kansas City Stadium." While Chiefs fans might miss the familiar sights, this transformation highlights the versatility of one of the NFL's most iconic venues.
