4 Free Agents the Chiefs Should Sign Before NFL Draft

2. Michael Thomas, WR

If the Chiefs want to target a wideout and Boyd isn't there, guy there's always Michael Thomas.

There was a time when Thomas was seen as one of the NFL's best wide receivers. He took the world by storm in 2019 when he led the league in both receptions (149) and receiving yards (1,725) en route to being named the Offensive Player of the Year.

Unfortunately, injuries have been an obstacle for the veteran playmaker. A series of ankle injuries have limited Thomas to just 20 games over the last four seasons, which includes when he sat out of the entire 2021 campaign. But even if he's no longer the self of old, I still see him being a solid option for the Chiefs.

Despite his injuries, Thomas has still tallied 95 receptions for 1,057 yards and four TDs across his last 20 games. He also posted a 39-448-1 stat line in 10 games with the New Orleans Saints last year. Even though that was far from his best output, he was still on pace for 761 yards, which would've only trailed Rashee Rice when it comes to Kansas City WRs.

Thomas also hasn't been playing with a quality QB since he was paired with Drew Brees. I'm not saying that Mahomes would turn him into a 1,700-yard receiver again, but I think the duo could catch a lot of people off guard and that makes it an option worth exploring.
