Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory, but even champions have areas for improvement, and for Kansas City, it’s clear where they need to focus.
Throughout the season, the Chiefs faced criticism for dropped passes and sluggish offensive drives, highlighting the need for reinforcement at wide receiver despite their championship success.
NFL analyst Craig Carton, speaking on the Carton Show, boldly predicted that the Chiefs would make a significant move for Calvin Ridley to address this issue.
He emphasized Ridley’s potential impact, especially considering Kansas City’s struggles with dropped passes: “Calvin Ridley is going to be a Kansas City Chief.
Consider all the drops the Chiefs had during the regular season. Kadarius Toney is going to get cut. He ain’t coming back. I mean talk about them going for the three-peat, there’s no doubt one of the things missing is a credible wide receiver.”
Ridley, coming off his second 1000-yard season, presents a compelling option for the Chiefs, particularly after his suspension in 2022 due to gambling issues during his time with the Atlanta Falcons in 2021.
