If Brett Veach had a punch card for every personnel exec he’s lost, he’d be one away from a free coffee. One by one, Veach’s trusted lieutenants have been poached across the league. Ryan Poles to the Bears. Brandt Tilis to the Panthers. And Mike Borgonzi to the Titans. During the NFL Draft, Veach even joked he’s about one conversation away from accidentally leaking his entire board to three different war rooms. “I joked with the guys that pretty soon it’s just going to be me here by myself in a room because we talk to each other so much all the time that I’m worried about all of us having the exact same draft board.” But the Chiefs this offseason didn’t just reload. They promoted.
Mike Bradway and Chris Shea got the nod as assistant general managers – the first major shuffle. Ryne Nutt and Tim Terry both advanced to VP of Player Personnel roles, and Marc Richards steps into the Director of Football Research and Development position. Fresh hires include Dru Grigson, who joins as a Senior College & Pro Scouting Executive, and Sarah Pollack, now part of KC’s data science brain trust. Internships? Locked in. But the surprise cameo? Brayden Nagy – yes, Matt Nagy’s son – joins as a Player Personnel Intern. It’s a subtle yet pointed announcement from a franchise looking to keep its roots deep and its culture tighter than ever.

Rashee Rice’s future now hangs in legal limbo. His 30-day jail sentence can be served at any time during his five-year probation. The Chiefs have kept him active on the roster with no suspension announced yet. But off the field, the front office wasn’t sitting still. Even as the wide receiver situation simmered, Brett Veach and his personnel team were quietly reshaping the building from the top down.
