Put this in the FYI file: players under contract for the 2025 season.
 

The Chiefs like to draft a year in advance, many times, in preparation for incoming roster holes.

Here's what the team looks like right now under contract for 2025:

QB: Mahomes
RB: Pacheco

WR: Rice, Moore, Remigio
TE: Kelce

LT: Morris
LG: Thuney
C:
RG:
RT: Taylor

DE: Anudike-Uzomah, Thompson
DT:
DT: Farrell
DE: Karlaftis

WLB:
MLB:
SLB: Chenal

CB: McDuffie, Williams, Watson, Jones
S: Cook, Conner

K:
P:
LS:

Actually pretty good roster construction from Veach -- every position grouping still has really good talent on it. There's a few areas with troublesome areas, but other than DT, there's no position that's completely in the lurch -- and I imagine Jones is probably under contract for 2025 by this time next year.

I could see them spending a very high pick on an off ball linebacker with no post Kelce plan.
