Episode notes
Chiefs Add Kenneth Walker To Fix Run Game
- The Chiefs signed Kenneth Walker III to shore up a long-missing lead back role.
- Hosts noted Kansas City hasn't had a true 1,000-yard rusher since 2017 and view Walker as a physical, dependable complement for Patrick Mahomes.

- LeVar and Jonas emphasized the defense must carry the team if Mahomes' recovery or offensive form lags.
Chiefs' Window Looks Narrower Without Mahomes Healthy
- The hosts questioned whether the Chiefs' window is narrowing due to Mahomes' leg injury and roster turnover.
- They argued Spagnuolo's defense must step up and that KC faces a pivotal offseason for personnel and health.
