Chiefs 'knee-deep' into evaluating pieces of their defensive puzzle

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Upon being hired as defensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs, Steve Spagnuolo wasted no time in formulating his take on many of the players he will have next season. He was into the video moments after signing his contract last month.

There's that kind of urgency. The Chiefs' 2018 season ended with an AFC Championship Game loss to the New England Patriots because of a faulty defense, and Spagnuolo was hired to fix that part of the team quickly.

"This is a long process to figure out who and what we have, how it fits," Spagnuolo said.
