Chiefs Free Agents

Top 5 Kansas City Chiefs Free Agents, Ranked

4. Isiah Pacheco

Isiah Pacheco is a fine running back who produced far more than your average seventh-round pick. Through his first two years in the league, the Rutgers product looked like a good-but-not-great starter with a pounding, physical style of play.

Unfortunately, the NFL is a “what have you done for me lately” league, and Pacheco has not played well in recent seasons. He hasn’t averaged more than four yards per carry since 2023, and a well-past-his-prime Kareem Hunt outplayed him the past two seasons. While he played a key role on two championship teams, the Chiefs are better off saving their money and letting the free agent sign with a different organization. Quite frankly, Kansas City could probably find a similar talent in the fourth or fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
