Chiefs news revolves around how Bleacher Report ranked the Kansas City Chiefs as the team best set up for the future entering the 2020 season.

Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report ranked the seven teams who were in the best situation moving forward and unsurprisingly had the Kansas City Chiefs as the number one team on that list.

Essentially the list discussed the teams who were built to last for the next decade (at the very least). The factors in determining this involved having a young, talented quarterback who is still affordable, allowing the team to add other key players while also having solid units on both sides of the ball.

Obviously the Chiefs fall into this category even though Patrick Mahomes is going to get paid within the next year because they already have plenty of other talent on their roster. They were smart to pay players like Travis Kelce, Frank Clark, and Mitchell Schwartz before they were scheduled to pay Mahomes because it allowed them to make those guys happy.

There’s a reason the Kansas City Chiefs are the favorites to win the Super Bowl for the 2020 season and that’s because they have Patrick Mahomes and a plethora of talent at his disposal. A team can only go as far as their quarterback is willing to take them and Mahomes has already gotten them to the pinnacle in just three years in the league (with only two of those being as a starter).

The other teams on Davenport’s list included the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, and Arizona Cardinals. The Ravens and 49ers make sense, as Baltimore looked to be en route to bulldozing their way to the Super Bowl this past season behind that run game while the 49ers came out of nowhere to make it to their first Super Bowl since the 2012 season.

The Cowboys have the talent, but they just haven’t been able to get over that hump just yet. The Bills have had to play in a division that has been very lopsided, but that won’t be the case anymore with the Patriots looking drastically different moving forward. The Browns had some lofty expectations heading into 2019, were humbled, and now have been handling their 2020 offseason much quieter, which bodes well for them.

The Cardinals are a team I’m quite high on because of Kyler Murray and what he was able to do as a rookie last year. If he progresses in 2020, the sky is the limit for the Cardinals despite playing in a tough division.

The Kansas City Chiefs might have to pay Mahomes a big chunk of change, but that isn’t going to stop them from being one of the NFL’s best teams over the next decade – at least.
