NFL’s first Super Bowl three-peat: The Chiefs are aiming for it in the 2024 offseason opener……….
It’s reasonable to claim that the Kansas City Chiefs (11-6 in 2023) qualify as a dynasty after winning three Super Bowl titles, making four Super Bowl appearances in five seasons, and appearing in six consecutive AFC Championship Games.
Many questioned whether the Chiefs were still the same intimidating squad they once were after they dropped four of their six games between Weeks 11 and 16.

Special teams: Tommy Townsend, a punter
Prognosis: Kansas City can save over $25 million by renegotiating the contracts of offensive lineman Jawaan Taylor, guard Joe Thuney, and tight end Travis Kelce. However, the team will need to create some cap flexibility in order to retain some of their upcoming free agents. Of course, Jones is
