Despite going 15-2 and being the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs ended the season on a sour note after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.

Now, though, they enter the offseason with the ability to improve their roster and help strengthen their already-tied-for-best odds at +600 to win Super Bowl LX, per ESPN BET .

In an article for The Athletic, Mike Jones predicts that the Chiefs will sign former Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley through free agency.

"The Eagles made it abundantly clear in Super Bowl LIX the Chiefs need to upgrade Patrick Mahomes ’ offensive line," he wrote . "After utilizing a patchwork line in 2024, look for Kansas City to devote resources in free agency and the draft to solidify the unit. Stanley, who has spent his entire career with the Ravens and just made his second Pro Bowl appearance, would give Mahomes a reliable blind-side protector."

Stanley, a two-time Pro Bowler and a one-time First-Team All-Pro, had a productive 2024 season with the Ravens, receiving a Pro Football Focus overall grade of 71 (39th/141 tackles) and a pass-blocking grade of 79.6 (21st/141 tackles).

He could also come in and replace Joe Thuney, who played a majority of his snaps at left tackle for the Chiefs but was traded to the Chicago Bears on Wednesday.

It would cost the Chiefs a decent amount of money, though, as Spotrac places Stanley's market value at $20.7 million annually.
