Patrick Mahomes recently flashed three fingers with diamonds during the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest Super Bowl rings ceremony, reminding the football public that it’s not far-fetched for him to match Tom Brady’s seven rings.

Mahomes, 28, still has a long way to go and will one day face the challenges Brady did in New England when it comes to drastic roster changes. Tight end Travis Kelce is entering his age-35 season and defensive tackle Chris Jones recently turned 30 in July. But they’re not going anywhere any time soon after both star players signed lucrative contract extensions to remain in Kansas City for the foreseeable future and chase a third consecutive Super Bowl.

Most of the core group is back, but the Chiefs had a few champagne problems in the offseason, leading to the team trading cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans to prioritize retaining Jones before free agency and redoing Kelce’s outdated contract.

The loss of Sneed could hurt on the field, but most of the Chiefs’ concerns after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII have involved off-the-field issues, including No. 1 wide receiver Rashee Rice, who faces eight felony charges in connection with allegedly driving 119 miles per hour on a Saturday evening in Dallas, resulting in a six-car crash. While nobody was considered to be seriously injured, Rice could be suspended by the NFL.

The Chiefs, however, did add wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and used a first-round pick on a speedy wideout who might be their breakout player of 2024. Kansas City tends to find new stars via the draft to maintain its successful run since Mahomes took over as the starter in 2018.
