While the Kansas City Chiefs have had to part ways with superstar Tyreek Hill, Patrick Mahomes likes what the team is doing in free agency to keep its roster competitive.
Recently, the team added running back depth with the signing of Ronald Jones III. The veteran RB played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2018-2021 and also played a big part in helping the Florida-based franchise win Super Bowl LV. Interestingly, it was the Chiefs who had to defeat Jones and the Bucs to win the title.
On that note, Mahomes looks pretty excited to have a former enemy join forces with him and the Chiefs in a quest for another Super Bowl ring. On Twitter, he tweeted three moving emojis to show his approval of the move.

Ronald Jones III had his best year in 2020 when he amassed 978 rushing yards for seven touchdowns. He also recorded a touchdown that year to lead the Buccaneers’ rushing offense. After a pretty poor year in 2021, when he had to step down for Leonard Fournette, hopes are high he can regain his former form and help the Chiefs dominate.
Jones’ acquisition is just one of many signings the Chiefs have made in recent days. They also inked Aaron Rodgers’ previous target with the Green Bay Packers in Marquez Valdes scantling into a deal to give Mahomes more guns.
Of course, young superstar QB couldn’t be more excited to have another reliable wideout to throw at.

For what it’s worth, the Chiefs are far from done improving the roster either. According to the latest reports, Kansas City is also eyeing cornerback help in the Stephon Gilmore and James Bradberry matters. Gilmore is a free agent who has also attracted interest from the Las Vegas Raiders, while Bradberry has one more season with the Big Apple franchise.
With the Giants in a difficult salary cap situation, as discussed earlier, trading Bradberry shouldn’t be difficult for the Chiefs.
It remains to be seen what else the Chiefs are up to, but Mahomes loves where the team is going despite losing one of his greatest weapons.
