NFL analysts see two free-agent safeties as a potential fit for Chiefs

Ask a Chiefs fan what area the team should try and improve this offseason and chances are they’ll say the defense.

The Chiefs ranked 31st in total yards and passing allowed and 24th in points allowed, and that led to the team firing defensive coordinator Bob Sutton at season’s end.

Steve Spagnuolo was hired as the new defensive coordinator, and that’s one reason why Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network thinks free-agent safety Earl Thomas’ likely landing place is with the Chiefs.

“Eric Berry’s time in Kansas City might be done after this past season and all these injures, the Achilles that he had to work through,” Garafolo said on the NFL Network.
