Chiefs Urged to Re-Sign ‘Trusted’ Patrick Mahomes Target and Playoff Hero.

With concern surrounding Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice’s status for the 2024 season, the Chiefs might use some extra receiver depth.

That’s why Chiefs Wire’s John Dillon believes re-signing wide receiver Byron Pringle is one of the better possibilities for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions.

“Pringle is already familiar with Andy Reid’s offense and proved to be a trusted target for Patrick Mahomes when he last played for the Chiefs in 2021,” Dillon said on May 10. “Originally an undrafted free agent signed by Kansas City after a productive career at Kansas State, Pringle may be the most likely candidate for a reunion with the Chiefs.”

Byron Pringle is a Playoff Stud for Chiefs.

Pringle, who had been mostly a special teams player with the Chiefs for the first two seasons of his NFL career, was handed a heavier offensive workload in 2021 and took advantage of it. According to Pro Football Reference, Pringle caught 42 passes on 60 targets for 568 yards and 5 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. He accomplished those stats while playing 49% of the team’s offensive snaps.

Pringle caught 12 catches for 82 yards and three touchdowns in the 2021 playoffs, including two against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round.
