Kansas City Chiefs: Free agents to target on one-year deals for 2020

The Kansas City Chiefs will be on a paper-thin budget this offseason as they look to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Hopefully, they can pick up a few under-the-radar free agents who can help them do that.

Every team hopes that they can take those discarded or forgotten free agents and turn them into something special. Sometimes these free agents are former draft busts or just simply have bad luck with injuries.

In a perfect scenario, these players will find just the right landing spot or revive their careers with renewed health. While there are plenty of risks and it doesn’t always pan out, it’s still worth taking a few swings in hopes of hitting a home run.

For the Kansas City Chiefs, it might be worth it to bring in a few forgotten about players on the cheap with the intent to possibly revive their career and make their success the team’s success.

While offering a long-term deal in these situations is too risky, a one-year “prove it” deal becomes a more calculated risk. A highly talented young player can sometimes just land in the wrong place for his career to really take off. But given the right scenario, he could reach his potential.

With free agency just around the corner, this is a good time to keep those discarded or forgotten about players in mind as the Chiefs begin building their 2020 roster. Chiefs general manager, Brett Veach, will have his work cut out for him this offseason trying to improve a Super Bowl-winning roster without much room in the salary cap.

So, let’s take a look at a few possibilities and hope that he can turn one man’s junk into Kansas City’s treasure.
