Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes offered a measured response to the team's decision to sign kicker Justin Tucker, stating he tries "not to get too high or too low on anything." The comment came after the Chiefs added Tucker, who had been released by the Baltimore Ravens earlier this offseason.
Mahomes' remarks reflect his typical even-keeled approach to roster moves. The Chiefs' signing of Tucker, a four-time All-Pro and one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, addresses a position of need following Harrison Butker's departure.
The acquisition was reported on October 29, 2026, with Mahomes speaking to media about the addition. Tucker joins a Chiefs team coming off consecutive Super Bowl appearances, bringing veteran stability to the special teams unit.
