Should the Kansas City Chiefs officially shake up their NFL dynasty by winning the three-peat, the main challenge ahead will be to maintain it.

Sustaining a dynasty means having very talented and, above all, young players at your disposal. Youth is the key.

Looking at KC’s current squad, there are plenty of young players, but the team’s stars are no longer so young. Two examples of this are Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, who are now 35 or thereabouts.

That’s why the work needs to start many years earlier. And the organisation seems to be on the right track.

The young group that makes and will make the KC machine work

With the great mission of 2024 in mind, Brett Veach opted for a mix of veterans and youngsters. Experience combined with freshness.

The offense, led by Patrick Mahomes, includes older players, others of average age and rookies.

Travis Kelce, Isaiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney, among others.

This year, the franchise hired and drafted new names. Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy and Jared Wiley…

The defense, one of the youngest in the NFL, is led by the voice of experience: Chris Jones. Along with him, Mike Pennel Jr, Drue Tranquill, George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie and many others make up the unit.

Analyst who thinks there should be another WR on the Chiefs

The league’s training camp is coming up, which means the season is getting closer and closer.

A Pro Football Focus analyst, Thomaz Valentine, wrote an article this week about an action that every NFL team should take before heading off to training camp.

NFL expert suggests that the Chiefs make a trade involving Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins.

Valentine’s justification is that Travis Kelce is in his decline and Higgins still has many years to play.

“The Chiefs have long been in the hypothetical market for a receiver despite signing Marquise Brown to a one-year deal in free agency. The Bengals might not be too content with the idea of trading Tee Higgins to a Super Bowl-contending rival, especially when those rivals are the reigning Super Bowl champions, but a long-term contract doesn’t appear to be on the horizon for Higgins. Rather than let him walk, the Bengals could look to move him for future draft picks,'” said.

“The Chiefs should throw themselves into the sweepstakes. Travis Kelce might not have too many years left in the tank, and Higgins would give Mahomes a legitimate X receiver.”

There’s no chance of the Bengals trading the pass-catcher for draft picks, even more so for a rival like KC.
