Chiefs' 2026 Tackle Dilemma: Can Simmons and Moore Hold Up?

Kansas City heads into 2026 with unsettled tackle play after a long string of moving parts. The starter duo is expected to be Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore, but health and consistency are major questions: Simmons has shown potential but has battled injuries and personal absences, while Moore has never started more than six games and struggles in pass protection. Behind them, swing-tackle depth is uncertain with Esa Pole, Chu Godrick, and rookie Kahlil Benson in the mix, and the Chiefs did not add a clear veteran anchor this offseason, leaving swing-tackle roles as a potential season-dependent variable.

Minicamps closed with five key takeaways: Joe Burrow exudes confidence that the Bengals can be elite this season; Michael Penix Jr. has not yet been cleared for 11-on-11 work and faces a tight competition with Tua Tagovailoa in Atlanta, with Stefanski saying no jobs will be handed out in June; Xavier Worthy could emerge for the Chiefs as a playmaking option as Rashee Rice’s injuries/suspensions loom and Mahomes returns; Dallas’s RB2 role remains unsettled among Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, and Phil Mafah; Jacksonville’s Tanner Koziol has opened eyes as a larger receiving tight end, signaling a potential shift to more TE usage for the Jaguars.

Mahomes strikes eight-year, about $505M Chiefs pact through 2033

Patrick Mahomes signed a new eight-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs through 2033 worth about $505 million, replacing his prior contract. The agreement includes $150 million guaranteed at signing and $237.25 million in injury guarantees, plus annual escalators of $2.5 million and a payout schedule rising from roughly $56.75 million in 2026 to $70 million in 2033. It’s treated as a replacement rather than a traditional extension, with the Chiefs having a history of reworking Mahomes’ deals to stay market-competitive, making another potential rework likely before 2033.

Chiefs, Mahomes strike eight-year, $63M-per-year deal through 2033

The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes agreed to an eight-year extension through 2033 averaging about $63.1 million per season, with a $150.3 million guarantee, two void years, and vesting of portions of the 2028–29 salaries; cap hits rise quickly (about $90.3 million in 2027 and over $80 million in 2028–29), necessitating ongoing restructures to spread costs and leaving the team with dead money risk if Mahomes leaves. The deal assumes league-wide cap growth from new TV deals and includes a $1 million annual workout bonus plus potential extra $1.25 million bonuses for Super Bowl wins and MVP with an AFC Championship appearance.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a contract extension through 2033, adding $239 million in new money starting in 2027 and lifting the total value to $504.75 million; the first four years are fully guaranteed with additional guarantees to follow, and while it may shift future cap figures, immediate cap relief is unlikely due to prior restructures.
