Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are facing one of the toughest challenges in recent NFL history. It’s not easy to bounce back from a Super Bowl loss, and in fact, in most cases, teams that fell in the title game don’t even make it back to the playoffs the following year.

Despite that, the Chiefs are clear favorites in the AFC West, where the Denver Broncos and the Los Angeles Chargers are beginning to emerge as threats. However, they still seem far from competing for the divisional title. As for the Raiders, they are starting another rebuilding process under Pete Carroll.

Now, general manager Brett Veach has made a very important decision regarding a key player on the offense for Patrick Mahomes. A big surprise just days before free agency.

Will Isiah Pacheco get contract extension from Chiefs?

No. According to a report from Tony Pauline, the Kansas City Chiefs are taking precautions due to Isiah Pacheco’s injury history. At this moment, they will not be making an offer to extend the star running back’s contract.

“An extension for running back Isiah Pacheco, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, won’t be considered until the season starts and the former seventh-round pick proves he’s back to health and prior form.”
