The KC Chiefs managed to re-sign many of their free agents this offseason despite the multitude of talented contributors on this list.

Although John Dorsey failed to re-sign Jeff Allen, Sean Smith, and Tyvon Branch, the additions of Mitchell Schwartz and various depth signings have mitigated these losses to an extent.

Roster holes and weaknesses still remain for the KC Chiefs, especially considering that Justin Houston will miss time due to his ACL surgery.

These players in particular must meet their high expectations in order for the KC Chiefs to fulfill their Super Bowl aspirations in 2016.
