According to Aaron Schatz of ESPN, the Kansas City Chiefs should make one more significant veteran free agent signing to help bolster the wide receiver position.
“The Rashee Rice situation is fairly confusing for the Chiefs. Coach Andy Reid says that Rice will be healthy enough for training camp, but is he going to face a suspension from the league for off-field conduct? It would be good for the Chiefs to find another strong slot target who can be insurance for Rice and can provide wide receiver depth on the outside,” wrote Schatz, “Enter veteran Samuel. He had a bit of an off 2025 season with a career-low 10.1 yards per reception with the Commanders, but he still managed to gain 727 receiving yards with five touchdowns. At age 30, there’s probably still something left in the tank, and his ability to also take carries from the backfield makes him extra fun for Reid to play with in his game-planning.”
Kansas City’s wide receiver room has been a source of uncertainty this offseason, following the off-the-field issues involving Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy’s recovery from offseason surgery. The addition of an accomplished veteran like Samuel provides the much-needed reliable option for Patrick Mahomes.
Samuel’s best NFL season came in 2021, when he earned first-team All-Pro honors with the San Francisco 49ers. The versatile wide receiver has fallen in two Super Bowl appearances against the Chiefs in his career.
