KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Entering next season, the Chiefs will be the reigning Super Bowl champs, a phrase that hasn’t been uttered in a half-century.

The hope is that quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ presence and chemistry with coach Andy Reid combined with a rejuvenated defense under Steve Spagnuolo led by Tyrann Mathieu and Frank Clark will keep the championship window open for many years to come.

But already the Chiefs face plenty of tough decisions as free agency approaches next month.

The biggest-name free agent for the Chiefs this offseason is defensive tackle Chris Jones, who has led the team in sacks each of the last two seasons, but he’s not the only one.

Find out what the “4th & 1” podcast crew believes the Chiefs should do with Jones — more importantly, why, and what factors could change the conversation — as well as thoughts on what Kansas City may do with the rest of the team’s two dozen free agents.
