THE Kansas City Chiefs are looking to bolster their offense as part of some major changes.
Andy Reid‘s team suffered an embarrassing 40-22 Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February.

And now there could be some changes to the Chiefs.
According to The Athletic, Reid is targetting Ronnie Stanley – who is the best left tackle available on the market.
But he is projected to command a two-year, $40m contract once he hits the market.
Stanley, 30, played all 17 regular season games as part of Lamar Jackson‘s protection in 2024.
Kansas used a different left tackle in each of their five Super Bowl appearances since 2020.
They started Kingsley Suamataia, Wanya Morris and DJ Humphries at the position before moving Joe Thuney there last season.
But the news has just broke that Thuney has been traded to the Chicago Bears.
The All-Pro guard, 32, signed a five-year contract worth $80million with the Chiefs when he arrived in March 2021.
But Thuney will depart after four seasons at Arrowhead Stadium.
He won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs – adding to the pair he won with the New England Patriots.

And Thuney also proved versatile in the offensive line having moved to the outside.
It made him the lineman most responsible for protecting Patrick Mahomes’ blind side.
But after his trade, the Chiefs have cleared $16m in cap space and can now look to free agency for a longer-term solution at left tackle.
