Top WRs under contract for 2025: Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Nikko Remigio
Key free agents: DeAndre Hopkins (UFA), JuJu Smith-Schuster (UFA), Justin Watson (UFA), Marquise Brown (UFA), Mecole Hardman (UFA)
Worthy developed into a playmaker down the stretch, going for 79-plus yards in four of his final five appearances, including the playoffs. If he continues to refine his game as more than just a deep threat, the Chiefs will have a sensational 1-2 punch when Rice, who missed most of the season with a knee injury, is fully healthy. However, it’s been a mixed bag otherwise in K.C. The Hopkins trade turned hollow. Yes, the offense opened up when Brown returned to the lineup from a shoulder injury in December, but he could be on the move, as well. The Chiefs have tried to add veterans for the last few years but wound up back in the Smith-Schuster business. It makes sense to retain a serviceable depth player like Watson while adding another low-cost option to the mix. A one-year pact with a ring-chasing veteran like Keenan Allen, coming off a down year, would make sense for both parties if he does not receive bigger offers.
