In the offseason, the Chiefs will continue to prioritize retaining as much talent as possible on the defensive side of the roster after their lackluster showing in Super Bowl LV. Their defensive schemes got exposed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense, which played a role in their failure to defend their Super Bowl crown.

Hopefully, Daniel Sorensen will get to contribute more and effectuate the game on a greater level after inking a fresh contract with the team. Overall, the duo's extended stay with the Chiefs will certainly help their cause as they aim to get back to being strong contenders next season. Kansas City is viewed as a top championship favorite once again.
