Breaking News: Kansas City Chiefs Man Confirm This Could He Be His Last Season With Chiefs

Add another rumor – if it really counts as that – to the approaching NFL Coaching Carousel. Could NFL Sunday Week 18 signal the final regular-season game of the career of long-time Buffalo Bills nemesis coach Andy Reid of the Kansas City Chiefs? Frankly, as is too frequently the case with stuff like this, this could as well simply be the fabrication of the media seeking to stir up attention. Indeed, the phrasing on this one – “It’s fair to wonder,” Mike Florio writes at ProFootballTalk.com, obviously anointing himself as the arbiter of what’s “fair” – calls into question the legitimacy of the information. So as we question if Reid himself believes this is “fair” … We do indeed have Pro Football Talk stating that the retirement talk surrounding Reid might be very real.

“He hasn’t spoken anything publicly about it, yet,” PFT writes. “It would be ridiculous for the team and members of the existing coaching staff and prospective outsider contenders to replace Reid to not be considering the idea — unless and until there’s solid word from Reid that he’s returning for 2024.” As Reid is 65, we think it would be “foolish” to assume anything – though 65 as a “retirement age” isn’t actually the way the NFL operates.

PFT plows ahead, suggesting, “It’s possible he’s already made a decision. It’s possible the choice will rest on whether the Chiefs make another run far into the postseason … It’s feasible that the players needs to recognize this might be it for Reid …” In other words … it’s possible. In a world in which Bill Belichick might be leaving New England and Pete Carroll might be leaving Seattle and on and on and on … so many things are “possible.”

Reid is already locked in as being one of the best head coaches in NFL history – a sure-fire Hall of Famer when his time is done. He also is guiding his Chiefs to the playoffs once again, and Bills Mafia knows all about how that can work. We appreciate the reason to guess here; PFT just positioned itself to be “first to report the story” … assuming it ever gets to truly be a story. But absolutely. “It’s feasible.”
