Reid stressed that the process remains patient and smart, noting Mahomes is doing well but that the timeline will be guided by how he responds to continued rehab and assessments. The update underscores the Chiefs’ desire to balance long-term health with the team’s immediate needs for the upcoming season.
Off the field, Mahomes and his wife Brittany remain prominent figures in Kansas City’s sports scene as co-owners of the KC Current. The club’s valuation has climbed to about $325 million, making it the second-most valuable team in the NWSL, with Forbes attributing part of the surge to the opening of CPKC Stadium and other strategic investments.
The Current’s business expansion has continued to reshape the franchise. CPKC Stadium—built largely with private funding from owners—opened in 2024 and has helped catalyze growth, including a $52 million Riverside expansion that encompasses Riverside Stadium, The Performance Center, and Pitch Expansion. The team celebrated a Teal Rising Cup Championship during the international break, signaling momentum on the field alongside its expanding footprint.
KC Current also underwent notable roster and leadership changes this season. Chris Armas was hired as head coach to allow Vlatko Andonovski to focus on sporting director duties, while the club strengthened its midfield through the Croix Bethune acquisition from the Washington Spirit. A late pre-season move brought forward Penelope Hocking to cap the front line, a sign of the team’s ongoing reshaping as Mahomes focuses on rehab and family time.
Brittany Mahomes remains tied to the club’s community and culture, including returning to CPKC Stadium on May 6 to accept the inaugural Champion for a Change Award. The couple’s broader influence in Kansas City sports continues to intersect with the KC Current’s growth and the Chiefs’ championship ambitions.
Overall, the offseason presents a dual narrative: Mahomes’ hopeful return date and the KC Current’s rising profile as a growing, increasingly valuable franchise with new leadership, investments, and on-field initiatives shaping its future.
