The Kansas City Chiefs are set to lose one of their All-Pro players to an up-and-coming team in the AFC. The Chiefs were able to retain a few key players for the threepeat, but cap concerns will keep several players from returning for the 2024 season.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed Chris Jones

The biggest signing of the Chiefs’ offseason was Chris Jones. Jones signed a record-breaking deal for a defensive tackle to stay in Kansas City. With all of the money they’re spending on Jones and Patrick Mahomes’ contract, the Chiefs couldn’t afford to keep Tommy Townsend.

Townsend earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors for the 2022 season. He will be remembered in Kansas City for a punt in February’s Super Bowl that was fumbled by San Francisco 49ers special teams player Darrell Luter. The late-third-quarter turnover allowed the Chiefs to take their first lead of the game.
Townsend will now join a talented Texans team that could threaten the Chiefs’ threepeat chance next season. The Texans won a playoff game in C.J. Stroud’s first season with the team, and they should only be better in 2024.
The Chiefs planned to part ways with Townsend shortly after the Super Bowl. In February, they signed former Buffalo Bills punter Matt Araiza.
