Posted August 21, 2025
The Kansas City Chiefs have been pulled into an August swirl of cap talk. With right tackle Jawaan Taylor carrying a heavy 2025 number, whispers suggest the franchise could consider a ruthless move if the performance doesn’t match the price. Instead of letting speculation decide his future, Taylor has come out swinging with a message to skeptics and decision-makers alike.
“All I need is one more chance. Give me one more chance and I’ll be RT1 — keep Mahomes clean and help bring the Lombardi back to Kansas City.”
A Veteran on the Hot Seat
Since arriving in Kansas City, Taylor has lived under a microscope — from penalties and timing to the week-to-week demand of protecting the league’s most valuable passer. In a building that measures everything by February, his contract has become a lightning rod for debate: essential anchor or expensive luxury?
The RT1 Promise
Taylor’s pledge isn’t about headlines; it’s about execution. Clean sets. No freebies. Finish in the run game. If he holds the edge on Sundays, the Chiefs’ offense stays on-schedule, Mahomes stays upright, and January looks a lot more like Kansas City.
What’s Next for the Chiefs?
Moving on from a veteran tackle would free flexibility — but it could also fracture continuity at the most delicate spot on the line. Keeping Taylor is a bet that experience and cohesion beat spreadsheet math when the lights go white-hot. One thing’s certain: Jawaan Taylor isn’t going down without a fight — not with an RT1 promise ringing through a locker room built to chase Lombardi.
