Summary

Kansas City Chiefs face tough roster decisions as training camp approaches. Can undrafted free agents crack Andy Reid’s stacked lineup, or will incumbents like Brashard Smith and JuJu Smith-Schuster hold on to their spots? Chris Clark and Ryan Tracy debate which positions—quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and even the intriguing tight end group—offer true openings for new talent. Special attention is paid to the futures of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Noah Gray, and question marks at defensive end and linebacker. With cap space issues looming and names like Kristian Fulton at the center of key positional battles, the hosts outline potential trade or free agent targets and raise the stakes ahead of the regular season. Which playmakers will be game changers, and who could be on the bubble for the defending Super Bowl champs?

0:35.7	We're going to take a look at the offense and the defense in this one and look at where
0:40.6	we are and where we think there may be openings on the roster, potential roster openings,
0:46.4	for any of the UDFAs and guys that the chiefs could still be signing.
0:50.3	So let's just take a quick look.
0:52.5	And I'm going to throw it out.
0:53.6	We're going to go with 50 players. I don't think the special teams guys are going anywhere. So I think we're pretty good there. But offensively, I still think that this is a 2 QB team. So I don't see a potential for a third. But it's going to depend on what they do with Usmeyer, because I don't think
1:11.7	there's any way they put him subject to waivers. I don't think so either. The question is,
1:17.3	do they screw around and put him out in preseason games and let him show off and force themselves
1:22.7	into keeping him on the roster? I'm still leaning towards an NFI for him, so I think it's just
