SportsBeat KC: As Chiefs’ season arrives, here’s Veach on re-shaping of Super Bowl team
Game week has arrived for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs, who take on the Houston Texans Thursday to open the NFL’s Kickoff Weekend.
Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and DeShaun Watson square off for the first time as the NFL’s two richest quarterbacks by virtue of summer contract extensions.
Like all NFL teams, the Chiefs and Texans had to pare their rosters to 53 players Saturday, but with a Thursday game they’ll have had less time than other organizations to work with their final rosters. On this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily podcast, general manager Brett Veach breaks down some of the Chiefs’ more difficult roster trimming decisions.
You’ll also hear from Mahomes, who speaks on a variety of topics, including the Chiefs’ readiness to defend their championship.
