How the Chiefs are likely to handle their pending RFAs and ERFAs

As the start of the 2023 league year approaches on March 15, the Kansas City Chiefs face many roster decisions.

While much of the focus remains on the team’s impending unrestricted free agents (UFAs) — such as wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and safety Juan Thornhill — the Chiefs must also make decisions on a handful of restricted free agents (RFAs).

These are players who have accumulated three accrued seasons — and have Kansas City contracts that expire in March. The Chiefs’ 2023 RFAs are Tommy Townsend, defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton and linebacker Darius Harris.
