Kansas City Chiefs: Hopefully Chiefs have been paying attention
By John McCarty

Must Read. Chiefs should target Landon Collins free agency. light
Spotrac calculates the young emerging safety to carry a similar market value to that of Steven Nelson. You simply don’t pay an underwhelming corner that much money. Collins has been a play making safety, a position group that really was a catalyst for the defense’s issues the past two seasons.
Collins just recently turned 25 and is the type of player the Chiefs need to be targeting in free agency.
Find a leader and someone on the back end of the defense that isn’t afraid of tackling ball carriers. In four seasons, Collins has eight interceptions, so he’s a quality defender both in coverage and helping with the run.
