Arrowhead Pride • • sports
Key Points:
- The Kansas City Chiefs aim to strengthen their interior defensive line during the upcoming NFL free agency, addressing weaknesses exposed in the 2025 season alongside defensive tackle Chris Jones.
- Veteran defensive tackle Christian Lopez is a potential target, offering a balance of strength and quickness, projected to earn around $6.5 million annually, and would be an upgrade over current players Derrick Nnadi and Mike Pennel.
- John Franklin-Myers is another candidate, known for his consistent pass-rushing ability with seven sacks in each of the past two seasons; however, his expected $8 million yearly contract could be a costly but impactful addition.
- DaQuan Jones Settle, despite a modest recent performance, remains a viable and affordable option
