Mandatory Credit: Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After an embarrassing loss on the sport\u2019s biggest stage, all the Kansas City Chiefs can think about is inflicting vengeance on the rest of the league. With all the moves they\u2019ve made in the offseason, it\u2019s clear they aren\u2019t messing around this upcoming season and want to take back what they feel is rightfully theirs: the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">This season is an extremely crucial one for the Chiefs, as it could be the last time we see Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and head coach Andy Reid together making another run to the Super Bowl. Although Mahomes is in his prime years, both Kelce and Reid aren\u2019t getting any younger.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">Additionally, the AFC West is only getting stronger and is projected to be one of the toughest divisions in the league. If the Chiefs want to end the Mahomes-Kelce-Reid era on a high note, they must get this former rival on the phone ASAP.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\">Chiefs Must Sign WR Keenan Allen<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">While the Chiefs have a strong group of pass catchers, they do have some questions. Marquise Brown and Rashee Rice (in addition to his looming suspension) are coming off injuries, and while both are healthy heading into camp, will they be able to return to their prior form? Xavier Worthy had a great rookie season, especially in the playoffs, but will he hit the notorious sophomore slump?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\">It shouldn\u2019t matter too much who\u2019s lining up at receiver when you have Mahomes, but this could be their last season to win it all with Kelce and Reid. The Chiefs must put all their marbles on this season and sign Keenan Allen to increase their chances of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Allen is coming off his lone season with the Chicago Bears, posting 70 receptions, 744 yards, and 7 touchdowns in 15 games. Even though he just turned 33, Allen is still a good receiver and can be an immediate contributor to a championship-caliber team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">Pairing Mahomes with Allen would instantly boost the Chiefs\u2019 receiving corps and provide Mahomes with another red-zone target. Although Allen has an injury history, he\u2019s remained relatively healthy the last two years, only missing six games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">\u00a0With training camp just days away, Allen shouldn\u2019t be a costly addition and would only be on a one-year deal. Allen also hasn\u2019t won a Super Bowl, so I\u2019m sure he would take less money to compete for a title.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">If they sign Allen, the Chiefs instantly enhance their chance of closing this era with a title.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-10\"><\/h3>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an embarrassing loss on the sport\u2019s biggest stage, all the Kansas City Chiefs can think about is inflicting vengeance on the rest of the league.
