Entirely reasonable to debate whether the Chiefs should've addressed offense on the first two days, but this should be part of the context:
Chiefs defensive FAs signed contracts elsewhere totaling $254 million this offseason.
The top-paid Chiefs offensive FA was the backup QB.
For the 19th time in the last 22 years, the Royals have lost 6 in a row in the first 60 games of the season. (And in 16 of the 19 years it happened by Game 35.)
The only three seasons it did *not* happen (2014, 2015, 2024) are the only three seasons they made the playoffs.

Prior to Tuesday, the Royals hadn't won a single game all season in which they trailed by even 3 runs. And then today they win after trailing by 9 runs. The JJ Picollo effect? I'm betting on the "it's September and the Royals are out of the race" effect myself.
