The Kansas City Chiefs already have a solid receiving group, but could they add one more weapon for Patrick Mahomes?<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ offense over the past couple of seasons has struggled to be the high-flying, entertaining unit we had become accustomed to early in\u00a0Patrick Mahomes’<\/a>\u00a0career, and especially last season, it was rather dull.<\/p>\n

Yes, there were reasons for that with Marquise Brown, a big-name free agent injured in preseason and not seeing the field until Week 16, plus Rashee Rice saw his season end in Week 4 due to a knee injury.<\/p>\n

Now, all are back and healthy, to go along with\u00a0 Xavier Worthy,\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>, and Juju Smith-Schuster, but there is one thing missing.<\/p>\n

All of Kansas City’s weapons are on the smaller side and speed burners – none are big, physical receivers who can win one-on-ones due to their size.\u00a0That brings us to one receiver who the Chiefs could look at if they so choose –\u00a0Keenan Allen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Allen caught 70 passes in Chicago, with seven touchdowns,”\u00a0ESPN wrote<\/a>. “He isn’t as dynamic of a mover at this late stage of his career, but the veteran is a crafty route runner who can make himself available to the\u00a0quarterback<\/a>. He fits as a chain-moving No. 3 receiver, which is the role he played for the Bears last season.”<\/p>\n

Could the Chiefs do with a receiver of Allen’s physical stature? Sure.<\/p>\n

Still a free agent and coming off a year with the\u00a0Chicago Bears<\/a>\u00a0that saw him total 744 yards and seven touchdowns, so he’s still productive.<\/p>\n

But he would give Mahomes a receiver who would have a physical matchup advantage with just about any defender in football, due to his size, and we know Patrick can put the ball in the exact right spot.<\/p>\n

Allen is a free agent, and teams are likely waiting to see what they have in training camp before making any moves.<\/p>\n

Kansas City’s receiver room appears to be set, but they are all of the same type of player. Allen breaks that and would give Mahomes a weapon to whom he can go in times of need and be fairly comfortable throwing it up, and allowing Allen to go get it.<\/p>\n

It’s just a thought, and we think Allen would prefer a move back to Los Angeles, but it wouldn’t be the worst idea for the Chiefs to pick up the phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
