Defensive end may have just become the most interesting position for next offseason.

Current 2021 DE depth chart: Frank Clark, Breeland Speaks, Michael Danna

Besides the questions that swirl around the latter two players on that list, which players from the impending free agent class the Chiefs try to keep will also be fascinating.

Not to mention, since we hired Spags, the Chiefs have *loaded the hell up* at DE, keeping the room constantly full so the team can play a four-man rotation at DE, which Spags loves to do. Hell, that depth paid off anyway because we lost THREE DEs last season and still marched into the playoffs with Clark, Suggs, Kpassagnon, and Demone Harris. The Chiefs play tons of DEs, as Spags always does.

So the activity from Veach in a cap-strapped offseason is going to be fascinating, right? What mid-level bargains can Veach poach? Or will Speaks and Danna both show enough to keep that from happening?

The DE position is fascinating now. Will Speaks even make the team? Demone Harris likely won’t — but maybe they protect him on the practice squad? What the hell is Michael Danna? Will the team make a run for a one-year rental of Everson Griffin or Jadeveon Clowney?

DE has always been my favorite position to watch, and under Spags that’s only enhanced. This coming year is going to be really, really interesting, and personally I think we’re going to be surprised a lot.
