3 veteran free agents the Chiefs should sign to solidify another Super Bowl run

1. Earl Thomas

Earl Thomas has to be atop any list of remaining free agents. The veteran safety has had a tumultuous 2020, and the Chiefs could grab him essentially as a depth option at safety. Adding a seven-time Pro Bowler for cheap before the postseason is never a bad thing.

Tyrann Mathieu, Juan Thornhill and Daniel Sorenson are the top safeties in town and all three have played in every game this season.

Thomas doesn’t need a recap of his career at this point. The top question with him is if he can show up and fit in. He was let go by the Baltimore Ravens after punching a teammate in practice, and there’s a reason no one else has picked him up since then. Problems in his personal life haven’t helped his case either.

Adding Thomas and even just using him sparingly could allow the Chiefs to get creative on defense. The goal should be to add as much talent as possible, and Thomas should be interested in order to get his career back on track.

Someone like Thomas may only listen to one or two offers as he prepares for 2021. The Chiefs may be the only team he would consider, and at least gauging his interest would be a smart move.
