Since Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has had control over the roster, one of the positions he has heavily invested in is safety. He’s signed safeties Tyrann Mathieu and Justin Reid to eight-figure free-agent deals while also drafting Juan Thornhill and Bryan Cook in the second round of the draft.
Veach believes in having high-quality safeties in his defense, and he’s made sure to keep the cupboard full of options.
While the safety room is secure in 2023, the outlook at the position isn’t clear. Reid is under contract in 2023, but the Chiefs would save $10.
