So much of Kansas City Chiefs coverage right now is centered around one thing: the quest for the three-peat and rightfully so, as it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. However, it has led to some of us overlooking the future and the fun of NFL Draft anticipation. The 2025 Chiefs will have to take the field and you'll want them to be dominant next year, too. After the trade deadline, the Chiefs could be without their 4th or 5th-round pick in 2025 after trading for DeAndre Hopkins. In terms of personnel, the Chiefs currently do not have the following players under contract for the 2025 season: Hopkins, Marquise Brown, Trey Smith, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Carson Wentz, Mecole Hardman, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, James Winchester, Mike Pennel, Justin Watson, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine, Tershawn Wharton, Charles Omenihu, Joshua Uche, Derek Nnadi, Nick Bolton and Justin Reid. That's a lot of valuable snaps to lose for a team with $22.7 million in projected cap space in 2025.
