Contract details for new Chiefs RB Ronald Jones / There’s more than meets the eye with a number of contracts

Contract details for new Chiefs RB Ronald Jones / There’s more than meets the eye with a number of contracts the Kansas City Chiefs have handed out this offseason. That remains the case with the deal signed by new Chiefs RB Ronald Jones. - It was originally reported as a one-year contract worth up to $5 million. According to the folks at Over The Cap, Jones’ contract includes a $1.25 million base salary. He also gets a $250K signing bonus, bringing his one-year cap hit up to $1.5 million for the 2022 NFL season. Only $750K of the contract is fully guaranteed and the Chiefs could save that amount if they released or traded him at any point. They’d also eat another $750K in dead money if that were the case. - If Jones’ contract is in fact worth up to $5 million, the remaining amount ($3.5 million) will be earned or unearned in various contract incentives that Over The Cap isn’t necessarily privy to. - While Andy Reid seemed to suggest that Jones will be given a chance to be a major part of the offense, his contract hardly suggests he’s a lock to make the 53-man roster. If the Chiefs find that Derrick Gore takes a step forward for instance or they’re able to grab a player they really like in the draft, they’re not in a situation where they couldn’t turn around and trade or release Jones. We’ve seen the team do that in the past with players like Carlos Hyde and DeAndre Washington. - On the other hand, if Jones makes the 53-man roster and contributes in a big way, it’s a great contract for the team. It also could set him up nicely for a payday in 2023 when he hits free agency again. - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs' offseason roster following first waves of free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs QB Alex Smith weighs in on Tyreek Hill trade / - - - - "He is that kind of difference maker." - Former #ChiefsKingdom QB Alex Smith on what Kansas City is losing in Tyreek Hill and how Andy Reid will attempt to fill his void in 2022:#NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/X9aYURwq7J - — Rich Eisen Show (@RichEisenShow) March 30, 2022 - - - The Kansas City Chiefs will be without one of their most dynamic weapons in 2022 and former starting QB Alex Smith expects some big changes as a result. - Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday, Smith weighed in on the Chiefs’ recent trade of Tyreek Hill. Smith played with Hill for two seasons, connecting on 136 passes for 1,776 yards and 13 touchdowns. He knows better than anyone not named Patrick Mahomes exactly what Kansas City is losing in Hill and how it won’t be so easy to replace him. - “Flatout, you’re not going to replace him,” Smith told Eisen. “There is literally only one Tyreek Hill in the whole NFL. He is that kind of difference-maker. I was fortunate enough to play my last two years there in Kansas City with him. Honestly, when he’s on the field, defenses play differently. He opens up so many other players around him because everybody is so fearful.” - The thing that makes Hill so dangerous, in Smith’s opinion, is that he’s more than just a speed threat. His ability to change the game in so many different ways makes him very difficult to prepare for and it forces teams into mistakes. - “There are a lot of fast guys in the league, who are, in the end, they’re kind of one-dimensional,” Smith continued. “Tyreek is not that. We saw it throughout the playoffs, catch-and-run, deep ball, put him back there for punt and kickoff return, hand him the ball in the backfield. I mean, he’s an incredible weapon, incredibly unique. You’re just not going to fill those shoes.” - So what does the absence of Hill mean for the Chiefs moving forward? Smith sees his absence as a trade-off. The team is sacrificing being as dynamic on offense to perhaps make some moves that will make the team more well-rounded on both offense and defense. - “I do think they won’t be as dynamic on offense. This is the trade-off that I think Andy is thinking about and Brett Veach as well — for that salary that they were going to potentially get (Hill) at and the draft picks they got in return — can they potentially go be better on the defensive side of the ball? I think they look back to a few years ago and maybe they’re going to be a bit more balanced on offense and defense.” - Smith is plenty familiar with Andy Reid making an executive decision to get value for a player at the right time. After all, the Chiefs did it

Chiefs to host Jackson State DE/LB James Houston IV on top-30 visit / - - - The Kansas

Chiefs to host Jackson State DE/LB James Houston IV on top-30 visit / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting one of the most dominant defenders in HBCU football last season on a top-30 visit. - As first reported by Scott Kennedy, Jackson State DE/LB James Houston IV is taking his visit with the Chiefs on Wednesday. The report has since been confirmed by Heavy.com’s Devon Clements and Houston himself, who retweeted Kennedy’s initial report. - Houston began his career at the University of Florida, where he played 35 games as an off-ball linebacker. In 2018 and 2019, he was mostly a reservist and special teamer, but he saw some action in 2020 with 37 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble. - Houston transferred to Jackson State to play under Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders in 2021. In his lone season at Jackson State in 2021, Houston played with his hand in the dirt as a pass-rusher. He appeared in 13 games with the Tigers, notching 52 total tackles, 24.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, 10 quarterback hits and seven forced fumbles. - - James Houston IV (@Jthouston_4) of Jackson State visiting #ChiefsKingdom tomorrow per source. Houston is coming off a terrific pro day including a 39" vertical at 244 pounds. pic.twitter.com/AeBHYrFfbF - — Scott Kennedy (@ScoutKennedy) March 29, 2022 - - - The Chiefs were among the teams who were in attendance for Houston’s phenomenal pro day at Jackson State, during which he impressed scouts with a 4.6s 40-yard dash, 22 repetitions on the bench press and a 39-inch vertical jump. He weighed in at 6-1 and 244 pounds, which is quite undersized for Steve Spagnuolo’s system if he’s putting his hand in the dirt and playing edge rusher. - If you’re unfamiliar with top-30 visits, they’re back in 2022 after being held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These visits serve as an opportunity for prospects to tour team facilities, meet with position coaches, front office executives, scouts and members of the training staff. On occasion, they’ll get a chance to meet with a few players who are working at the team facility, but they won’t do any football activities or workouts themselves. It’s essentially a way for NFL teams to fill in some blank spaces in their scouting reports and get to know how a player will fit within their culture. - - List - - 7 intriguing WR options for Chiefs in 2022 NFL draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter

WATCH: Chiefs' Corey Coleman training with renowned WR coach David Robinson / The Kansas City Chiefs took a flier on

WATCH: Chiefs' Corey Coleman training with renowned WR coach David Robinson / The Kansas City Chiefs took a flier on former first-round 2016 NFL draft pick Corey Coleman, who looks to reboot his NFL career after missing the 2021 NFL season. - Formerly with the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, the 27-year-old Coleman isn’t taking this new opportunity with Kansas City lightly. In fact, he’s working this offseason with one of the most renowned private receiver coaches — David Robinson. A former college wideout with Oklahoma during the mid-2000s, Robinson has made a career out of training NFL receivers. - Coleman has actually been working with Robinson since he was a prospect coming out of Baylor. The training that he received helped Coleman win the Biletnikoff Award in 2015 and get drafted No. 15 overall in the 2016 NFL draft. Now, with a huge opportunity in front of him with the Chiefs, Coleman is back “in the lab” and working with Robinson out in Texas. - Check it out: - - Kansas City Chiefs WR @TheCoreyColeman in the lab Keepin his knife sharp!!! “Train Like A Pro” Come Get Some @TrustMyEyesO @BobbyBeltTX @AroundTheNFL @RosterWatch @Chiefs @FBA_Sports @tshaw2222 pic.twitter.com/7A6TJcyTwj - — David Robinson (@drobalwayzopen) March 30, 2022 - - - That’s some pretty impressive footwork and change of direction from Coleman, especially after a year away from the game in 2021. The two years prior he’d been limited by an ACL injury suffered in 2019 training camp with the Giants. Even in this short video, it looks like he could suit up and play in a game tomorrow. - In the past, Robinson has worked with some NFL greats like Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders and Dez Bryant. Some of the current NFL receivers he’s worked with and continues to work with include Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin, Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett, Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy, Jaguars WR Christian Kirk and Browns WR Jakeem Grant. Robinson has even worked with some current Chiefs players before, including Mecole Hardman, Daurice Fountain and Ronald Jones. - - List - - Chiefs split picks on offense, defense in Draft Wire's latest 3-round projections - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on addition of RB Ronald Jones / Outside of the onset of the 2018 NFL

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on addition of RB Ronald Jones / Outside of the onset of the 2018 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs have used a committee approach at the running back position until the cream rises to the top. With the addition of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones, it doesn’t look like that will change in 2022. - Speaking to media members at the NFL’s owners’ meetings earlier this week, Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke about Jones for the first time since the team had signed him. He explained what he likes about Jones, but also laid out his plans for the position. - “I like Ronald (Jones). I like the size, speed that he has. He’s a tough runner. He has good vision,” Reid told reporters. “I’ll take that. He needs that opportunity to feel like he’s a major part of this thing. We’ll give him that. I’ve got Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) in there, too. So it’ll just help take some pressure off of Clyde and they’ll work together and be a pretty good combo.” - Two things stick out most from Reid’s comments here. - Firstly, the Chiefs will give Jones the opportunity to be a “major part” of the offense. Knowing what Jones’ strengths are, it feels like the team is willing to give him the early-down work in Kansas City. He’s a great runner between the tackles and he’s adequate as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. - Secondly, the Chiefs want to take some pressure off of Clyde Edwards-Helaire. To me, this suggests that they feel they’ve been putting too much on his plate and they perhaps want to limit his role in 2022. Some have speculated that he’s on a collision course for a third-down role in Kansas City given his ability as a pass-catcher and as a pass-blocker. If you look at his numbers over at Pro Football Focus last year, his pass-blocking grades steadily improved as the 2021 NFL season progressed. - Ultimately, Reid’s words tell us that Jones and Edwards-Helaire will help each other work to become the best versions of themselves on the football field. The team is likely not done adding to the position either, with Edwards-Helaire, Jones, Derrick Gore and Brenden Knox as the only four players at the position under contract. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the team target and add another player during or after the 2022 NFL draft. - - List - - 7 intriguing WR options for Chiefs in 2022 NFL draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to

Latest on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu's free agent market / It’s been a very quiet free agency period for Kansas

Latest on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu's free agent market / It’s been a very quiet free agency period for Kansas City Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu so far. - Many Chiefs fans were taken aback when former Chiefs S Daniel Sorensen signed a free agent contract before Mathieu. The reported interest surrounding Mathieu has been lacking, but it seems that this might be self-inflicted. Speaking on the Pat McAfee show last week, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport explained exactly what’s going on with Mathieu’s market in free agency. - “I don’t get the sense that he’s in a rush at all,” Rapoport told McAfee. “Like every year there are a couple of free agents, who kind of just linger out there and wait for maybe the draft. Maybe if a team needs a safety, needs a leader, maybe they don’t get what they wanted in the draft, they come get him. I could see Honey Badger being out there for a while.” - Rapoport suggests that Mathieu hasn’t signed yet not due to a lack of offers, but because the offers he’s been getting aren’t commensurate with what he believes he deserves in a contract. - “Yeah, look he could have signed,” Rapoport continued. “(In) many places. It’s, ‘Are you getting the contract you want? (The contract) that you’ve earned.’ The really good ones who know their value will just hang out and wait. It doesn’t always work out, but a lot of times it does. Because if you’re a great player, you have all the leverage. You’re a great player. You just have to be patient and hang with it a little bit.” - As Mathieu waits for an offer that might not come, some teams have taken themselves out of the running. USA TODAY reporter Safid Dean was present for Dolphins GM Chris Grier’s chat with the media at the NFL owners’ meetings in Palm Beach, Florida. Grier said that they will not be pursuing Mathieu in free agency. - - #Dolphins won’t be pursuing former #Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, per general manager Chris Grier. - — Safid Deen (@Safid_Deen) March 28, 2022 - - - Miami isn’t the only team that seems to be out of the market for Mathieu, though. Despite a groundswell of fans clamoring for the Pittsburgh Steelers to sign Mathieu in free agency, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Gerry Dulac says that the Steelers aren’t in the financial position to be players in his market. That’s because they’re looking to extend a safety that is already on their team. - “Despite wishful thinking on the part of the public, they are not in financial position to sign Tyrann Mathieu because of the large extension they are prepared to give free safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, according to sources,” Dulac wrote. - One team to keep an eye on is the Las Vegas Raiders, who have a star defender doing some recruiting on social media. That said, the Raiders have financial problems of their own as

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on Tyreek Hill trade at NFL owners meetings / - - - Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid has made his first public comments since the Tyreek Hill trade. - The NFL’s annual owners’ meeting is taking place at The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida over the next few days. Speaking to reporters ahead of the festivities, Reid was asked about how the team handled the contract situation with Tyreek Hill that ultimately led to his trade from Kansas City. - “You can handle it any way you want to handle it. We handled it the way we did there,” Reid said, via Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams. “We felt like Tyreek deserved an opportunity. We came in aggressive and then after we got to a point, we just said, ‘Hey, listen, in this day and age, you have issues that you have to deal with with the cap,’ so we felt like it was better to allow him to go ahead and be traded. You can go different routes. You can play hardball with a player and do that, or you can kind of go about the way I did. Or we did.” - There was no love lost between Hill and the Chiefs. No irreconcilable rift. It was simply a matter of doing what was best for both parties. Kansas City felt they’d made a number of aggressive offers to keep Hill, but ultimately came to the conclusion that with salary cap constraints it wasn’t the right move for the team. Instead of trying to play “hardball” and force Hill to play out his contract, the team decided to sell high. - “Listen, the cap never gets far away from your thought process, because you’re always dealing with it,” Reid continued. “So (General Manager) Brett (Veach) has got to sit in there and manage that with his guys and if you want to keep consistency throughout years you’ve got to be able to do that and still stay at a high level. So I love Tyreek Hill. There was no rift between Tyreek Hill and myself. I thought he deserved an opportunity if that’s where he wanted to go. He’s a family man with a few kids, and he’s got to be able to support them now and down the road and this gives him an opportunity to do that. Put him a place where he has a home, and at the same time, it gave us great compensation.” - As for the compensation, Reid believes it’s a big part of why the team will remain competitive. That will allow the Chiefs an opportunity to continue to build around Patrick Mahomes, both with draft capital and the $72.2 million in guaranteed money that they’re not spending on Hill over the next four years. - “Obviously, Patrick’s a big part of that (belief the team can remain competitive),” Reid said. “You want to surround him with good players, but that’s a

Chiefs S Deon Bush's second introductory tweet attempt had great timing / Kansas City Chiefs S Deon Bush has shown a knack for great (and comedic) timing in his first week with his new team. - Bush won the day on social media on Wednesday, March 23, sending out an introductory tweet when Chiefs fans were just finding out the news that Tyreek Hill was set to be traded to the Miami Dolphins. Bush had signed with the team earlier that day and wanted to reach out to the fans, but little did he know about the chaos set to ensue. Some of the responses he received from Chiefs Kingdom weren’t the most welcoming, prompting a follow-up tweet. - - My bad y’all, I’ll hit y’all back later - — Deon Bush (@deonbushlive2) March 23, 2022 - - - Now, days later, Bush tried again at sending an introductory tweet to Chiefs fans.

Fans called for Sorensen’s benching in 2021 and they’re happy to see him move onto another club. - This time around, Chiefs Kingdom was much more welcoming of their newest safety. - - Sorry for how we acted when we were upset about the Hill trade!

Tyreek Hill's departure could spark Chiefs' interest in signing WR Odell Beckham Jr. / Tyreek Hill’s decision to seek a trade and new contract with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday has changed the NFL landscape, significantly impacting one of the top teams in the AFC. - The Kansas City Chiefs’ top receiver won’t be easy to replace in either free agency or the draft as the defending AFC West champions look to bolster the position group. The team added a starting-caliber receiver last week in former Pittsburgh Steelers star Juju Smith-Schuster. Many thought he’d serve as the perfect complement to Hill on the opposite side, but Hill’s abrupt departure has the Chiefs staring at Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Josh Gordon, and Cornell Powell as top pass-catchers at the receiver position. - An intriguing name that has been floated throughout the front office since last year has been Odell Beckham Jr. The former Los Angeles Rams receiver was a vital part of the team’s run to the Super Bowl title before tearing his ACL in the game. After being released last November by the Cleveland Browns, Beckham Jr. was heavily reported to be on the Chiefs’ radar. The former Pro Bowler is a well-known speedster with exceptional hands and a constant threat with the deep ball. He may not match Hill’s chemistry with Patrick Mahomes, but he can serve as an all-important insurance policy for the midseason while recovering from the latest knee injury. - A gamble such as this would allow the Chiefs to explore Hardman in a full-time starter’s role officially. The third-year receiver made significant strides at the end of the year finishing with 693 yards on 59 receptions. The expected increase in targets could see his numbers take an even more significant leap forward while paired with Smith-Schuster. - Beckham Jr.’s solid finish to the 2021 season, playing 12 games in Los Angeles, showed his ability to adapt quickly to a new team. He finished with 48 catches, 593 yards, and seven touchdowns during that span. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared his thoughts on star players showing interest in Kansas City back in November when Beckham Jr.’s name surfaced during his weekly press conference. - “Listen, we’ve been doing OK,” Reid said. “It’s a great city, a great venue to play here. If you’re a player in this league, I have to think it’s a pretty good situation. You’ve got some young players that are pretty good on the team. . . We do get linked to them. You guys know Brett (Veach), he’s always going to keep his eyes and ears open. That’s how he does. You’re going to get tied in with certain guys — right or wrong — you’re going to get tied in with certain guys. But that’s healthy too, that’s what you want.” - The addition of former Green Bay Packers receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling shouldn’t be viewed as a reason to ignore the prospect of adding Beckham Jr. in free agency.

Chiefs to host free agent DL Arden Key on a visit / The Kansas City Chiefs could finally be looking

Chiefs to host free agent DL Arden Key on a visit / The Kansas City Chiefs could finally be looking to address their pass rush issues. - According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Chiefs plan to host Arden Key on a visit on Friday. A former third-round draft pick out of LSU by the Las Vegas Raiders in 2018, Key spent the 2021 NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers and posted a career year. The 6-5 and 240-pound defensive lineman posted 22 combined tackles, 6.5 sacks and 36 total pressures. - Key is still just 25 years old, so he fits the youth movement currently going on in Kansas City on both sides of the ball. - - The Chiefs are hosting free agent pass rusher Arden Key on a visit tomorrow, per source. - The 25-year old Key is coming off of his best career season with 6.5 sacks for the 49ers last year. - — Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 24, 2022 - - - Key kicked off his career as an edge rusher, but he found the majority of his NFL success with the 49ers rushing from the defensive interior. Pairing him with Chris Jones on passing downs is an exciting prospect, but this move wouldn’t exactly do much when it comes to their needs at the defensive end position. Perhaps he could operate there as a base end on rushing downs. - Key has already taken visits with the Detriot Lions and the Baltimore Ravens. The fact that he hasn’t yet signed with a team tells me that he hasn’t quite received the offer that he’s looking for. Before the Marquez Valdes-Scantling signing, the Chiefs were projected to have nearly $30 million in cap space. - - List - - Chiefs attack post-Tyreek Hill needs Draft Wire's latest first-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs bested offers from Saints, Packers to sign WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling / - - - The Kansas City

Chiefs bested offers from Saints, Packers to sign WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs weren’t alone in their pursuit of WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling per a new report. - According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, not only were the Green Bay Packers looking to retain their free agent, but the New Orleans Saints were also in on Valdes-Scantling. Fowler says that the Saints were interested in doing a two-year deal and considered a favorite to land the fifth-year wideout. Instead, the Chiefs swooped in during the “final hour” to make Valdes-Scantling a three-year offer. As it turned out, it was an offer that he couldn’t refuse. - The thing about Valdes-Scantling’s deal is that it’s been reported by The Athletic’s Nate Taylor, that it’s effectively a two-year deal worth $18 million. The third year of the contract amounts to an option year, where the Chiefs will likely be able to get out of the year with minimal dead money or choose to keep Valdes-Scantling. The max value of the contract can hit up to $36 million with various incentives. - - Source says the New Orleans Saints were in heavy pursuit of Marquez Valdes-Scantling with a two-year deal. New Orleans was the favorite — until Kansas City stepped up in the final hour with big three-year money. - Packers were in consideration with a one-year deal. - — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) March 24, 2022 - - - The latest report before the news broke of his signing said the Chiefs were “50-50” in terms of their confidence on landing Valdes-Scantling, likely due to the competition. This move, however, was an integral part of Brett Veach and Andy Reid’s plan to rebuild their WR corps after trading away Tyreek Hill. - Valdes-Scantling has a combination speed to stretch the field which is unlike any receiver the team has had during the Patrick Mahomes era. He’s not a 1-to-1 replacement for Hill because that doesn’t exist, but parts of his game will certainly help fill the void. - - List - - Chiefs attack post-Tyreek Hill needs Draft Wire's latest first-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your

Chiefs fans will know the area well from the Super Bowl LIV parade. This will be the first time that Kansas City has ever played host to the NFL draft. - “This will be one of the biggest and most-anticipated professional sporting events our city has hosted,” President and CEO of the Kansas City Sports Commission and Visit KC, Kathy Nelson, said via press release. “Not only will fans from around the country be traveling to experience the NFL Draft and NFL Draft Experience, but millions of viewers will see Kansas City in the national spotlight on NFL Network, ESPN and other major networks.” - As usual, the NFL Draft Experience will be part of the event throughout the three days of the 2023 NFL draft. It’s essentially an NFL football-themed theme park with tons of events, interactive exhibits, autograph opportunities and more. - “Kansas City’s internationally recognized passion for sports makes it an ideal host for the NFL Draft,” NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business & League Events, Peter O’Reilly, said via press release. “We know that our partners, including the Kansas City Chiefs, City of Kansas City, Kansas City Sports Commission and Visit KC, will create a one-of-a-kind experience for our fans as we welcome the next generation of NFL players.” - The Chiefs are set to have ten picks in the 2023 NFL draft following the trade of star WR Tyreek Hill. The team could ultimately have more picks when it’s all said and done, depending on whether they receive any more compensatory picks in 2023. - - List - - Chiefs attack post-Tyreek Hill needs Draft Wire's latest first-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs to sign former Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs have worked fast to add to the receiver position following the departure of Tyreek Hill. - After taking a visit with the team, the Chiefs are set to sign former Green Bay Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. It’ll be a three-year deal for Scantling, with a max value of $36 million. - A former fifth-round draft pick out of the University of South Florida, Valdes-Scantling has been one of the top deep threats for Green Bay for the past four seasons. The 27-year-old wideout boasts a 6-4 and 205-pound frame with 4.3 speed. He has appeared in 59 career games with the Packers with 39 career starts, boasting 123 catches for over 2,000 yards and 13 scores in four seasons. - - The #Chiefs are signing former #Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a three-year, $30 million deal with $18 million in the first two years and incentives to reach a maximum of $36 million, his agents @NSAFootball tell @RapSheet and me. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 24, 2022 - - - Look for Valdes-Scantling to be part of the village that it will take to replace the production lost with Tyreek Hill heading to the Dolphins. He’s an adequate deep threat, but he’s never had a single season exceeding 700 yards receiving. He certainly gives the team a nice boost as they head into the 2022 NFL draft, also likely looking to add to their receiver position. Right now, Valdes-Scantling is the only receiver the Chiefs have under contract beyond the 2022 NFL season. - - List - - Examining the Chiefs' WR depth chart following Tyreek Hill trade - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs interested in CB Stephon Gilmore, plus updates on recent free agent visits / - - - NFL Network reporter Jeffri Chadiha provided some updates on the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent free-agent visits and threw a new name into the fold in terms of free agent interests. - According to Chadiha, the Chiefs have an interest in former Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers CB Stephon Gilmore. Right now, the only thing stopping the team from signing Gilmore seems to be his asking price. Once considered one of the league’s premier shutdown corners, Gilmore dealt with injury throughout the 2021 NFL season, limiting him to just eight games with the Panthers. - The Chiefs have some newfound cap space following the trade of Tyreek Hill, but they seem to be hesitant to go all-in on any particular free agent right now. Gilmore would certainly be an impactful signing given the loss of Charvarius Ward, but Kansas City might have to leave their comfort zone if they’re to sign him. Expect them to continue to explore other options at the cornerback position as well. - - More news regarding @Chiefs — source says they are “50-50” on signing former @packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling and “feel good” about adding former @Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones. CB Stephon Gilmore could also be in the fold if price comes down. - — Jeffri Chadiha (@jeffrichadiha) March 24, 2022 - - - As for the visits, Chadiha reports that the Chiefs are currently “50-50” on signing former Green Bay Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who has taken or will soon take a visit with the Chiefs. Their confidence seems to be greater in their ability to add former Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones, who is also in town for a visit. - Again, the Chiefs seem to be taking a cautious approach here.

I’ll never forget getting the call in 2016 that my dream to play in the NFL was coming true. I worked hard every day to show my appreciation for you taking a chance on me. To Coach Reid, Coach Bieniemy, and Coach Lewis, thank you for what you have taught me not only about football but about life. - Thank you to Pat (Mahomes), (Travis) Kelce, Demarcus (Robinson) and (Gehrig) Dieter along with all my teammates.

Jets' offer to Chiefs for WR Tyreek Hill didn't include a first-round draft pick / Two teams were reportedly in the running to acquire Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill — the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. - Hill ended up with the Dolphins, but the Jets had also submitted an offer to Kansas City. Because a deal was contingent on Hill signing a contract extension, he essentially was able to choose his destination, and it looks like he chose the right spot for his former team based on the trade compensation. - According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the offer from New York didn’t include a first-round draft pick. Instead, it was a compilation of draft picks that added up to a value similar to the Dolphins’ offer. - - Jets trade offer to the Chiefs for Tyreek Hill – that Kansas City would have accepted if the WR opted for NY – did not include a first-round pick, but rather multiple picks that were commensurate to the Dolphins’ offer based on the draft value chart that teams use, per sources. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 23, 2022 - - - Had Hill chosen to go to the Jets, the Chiefs would have received the Nos. 35, 38 and 69 picks in the 2022 NFL draft. In return, the team would have sent Hill and pick No. 103. - - Here is the trade the Chiefs and Jets had in place for Tyreek Hill: - Chiefs would have gotten picks No. 35, 38 and 69 - Jets would have gotten Hill and No. 103. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 23, 2022 - - - The Chiefs, instead, got a haul of draft picks from Miami. That package translates to about the same amount on the NFL’s trade value chart (around 1,227 points) as the Jets’ offer. That said, the optics of the deal with the Dolphins looks much better than it would have if Hill had been traded to the Jets. There were some reports that said New York was willing to part with pick No. 10, but it doesn’t seem like they were willing to sweeten the pot in order to land Hill. Perhaps they should have been willing because now they’ll have to play against him twice a year in the AFC East. - - List - - Current, former Chiefs players react to trade of Tyreek Hill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

Chiefs hosting Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones on a visit / The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting another player on a free agent visit today. - Earlier it was reported that Green Bay Packers free agent WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was heading to Kansas City for a visit, but he won’t be the only one today. According to Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs are set to host Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones on a free agent visit. - A former second-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of USC, Jones was formerly college teammates with recent Chiefs signing JuJu Smith-Schuster. He spent all four seasons of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, with his best season coming in 2020, when he posted 220 touches for over 1,000 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns. - - Kansas City Chiefs are in the middle of lot of excitement today, including hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran free agent running back Ronald Jones, according to a league source @PFN365 - — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 23, 2022 - - - The Chiefs are quite familiar with Jones’ success that season. They met him in Super Bowl LV with the Bucs, where he had 12 carries for 61 yards against Kansas City. - Jones is a solid complimentary piece at the running back position. Listed at 5-11 and 208 pounds, he has good size, also boasting 4.4 speed. He’s known for his pass-catching, with 76 career catches for over 570 yards. One thing he’s not known for is holding onto the rock. Jones has fumbled the ball seven times during his career, something he’ll have to clean up if he’s to find success in Andy Reid’s offense. - While Jones has struggled with ticky-tacky injuries at points during his career, he’s still just 24 years old. A signing here could further signal the Chiefs’ youth movement as they work their way through free agency and toward the 2022 NFL draft. - - List - - Current, former Chiefs players react to trade of Tyreek Hill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson to sign with Raiders / The Kansas City Chiefs have lost a free agent to their most bitter AFC West rival. - According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, after a successful visit with the Las Vegas Raiders, Demarcus Robinson is set to sign a one-year deal. A former fourth-round draft pick out of the University of Florida in 2016, Robinson has been a key contributor on offense in Kansas City since 2018. - Robinson appeared in 97 regular-season games with 42 career starts in Kansas City. He caught 145 passes on 227 targets for 1,679 yards and 14 touchdowns during his Chiefs career. He was also a key special teams player for Kansas City with 571 snaps over six seasons. - Robinson appeared in 13 playoff games during his Chiefs career with 14 receptions for 220 yards and a score. He played 39 offensive snaps in Super Bowl LIV, but he didn’t record a catch in the game. He was most known for having good chemistry with Patrick Mahomes because the two players worked together on the scout team in 2017. - - Former Chiefs’ WR Demarcus Robinson is signing a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, per @KatzBrosSports. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 22, 2022 - - - The likelihood that Robinson would return to Kansas City after JuJu Smith-Schuster signed with the team was slim. Robinson has been playing on one-year deals with the Chiefs in back-to-back seasons. Now, he’ll get another one-year deal to play against his former team twice a year. - We’ll be keeping an eye out for Robinson’s contract information to see if he qualifies toward the compensatory pick formula. If his past two contracts are any indication, it’s likely that he won’t qualify. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs OT Geron Christian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs to sign free agent LB Elijah Lee / The Kansas City Chiefs are set to sign a former Kansas State Wildcat and Kansas City native to the 90-man offseason roster. - Former K-State LB Elijah Lee tweeted out the Chiefs Kingdom hashtag to announce that he’d signed with the team. KC Star reporter Herbie Teope has since confirmed that Lee is signing with the team on a one-year deal. Lee played high school football in Blue Springs before heading up to Manhattan, Kansas to play for the Wildcats in college. - A former seventh-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2017, Lee has appeared in 66 NFL games with 6 career starts over the past five seasons. Most of that action came with the San Franciso 49ers, who signed Lee off the Vikings practice squad in 2017. He spent three seasons in San Francisco with the majority of the action coming in 2018, when he started six games and recorded 65 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and two passes defended. - - Chiefs are signing LB Elijah Lee, a former #KState Wildcat, to a one-year deal, per source. https://t.co/MLvX126D4j - — Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) March 22, 2022 - - - Lee has since spent time with both the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns, but he has mainly been a special teamer during his time with both teams. He actually played against Kansas City in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season, only recording special teams snaps, but securing one tackle during the game. - Listed at 6-3 and 230 pounds, Lee has the makings of an outside linebacker in the Chiefs’ 4-3 scheme. He’ll be a primary special teams contributor, but also in contention for the starting SAM or WILL job depending on where the team envisions Willie Gay Jr. in 2022. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs OT Geron Christian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs restructure contract of G Joe Thuney to create cap space / The Kansas City Chiefs created a little cap

Chiefs restructure contract of G Joe Thuney to create cap space / The Kansas City Chiefs created a little cap space to give themselves some breathing room during free agency. - According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Chiefs have restructured the contract of Joe Thuney. They’ve converted a portion of his $13.9 million base salary for the 2022 NFL season into a signing bonus, which clears over $9.6 million in cap space. - This brings Thuney’s cap number for the 2022 NFL seasons down to about $8 million. The bonus money is now prorated over the life of the contract, meaning that Thuney’s cap number will go up in each of the three years remaining on his contract. In 2023, for instance, Thuney’s cap number will now be around $22 million for Kansas City when it was set to be $19 million prior to the restructure. - - The Chiefs are converting $12.865M of G Joe Thuney’s base salary into a signing bonus, creating $9,648,750 in 2022 cap space. - — Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 22, 2022 - - - Despite this contract restructure being reported today, it’s likely that it already happened and that the Chiefs have already spent the majority of this cap space already. The team did free up some cap space by reworking Frank Clark’s contract previously, but that was only to get them under the cap by the March 16th deadline. It wasn’t exactly enough space to accommodate all of the signings and re-signings they’ve made during the free agency period. - This type of contract restructuring was one of the many ways that the team could create cap space this offseason. The team has a few more contracts (Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce) that they were able to do this type of salary to signing bonus conversion with, but it’s unclear if they made those moves or not. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs OT Geron Christian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs to sign former Giants WR Corey Coleman / - - - A former NFL wide receiver is attempting a comeback with the Kansas City Chiefs. - According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs are set to sign former Cleveland Browns and New York Giants WR Corey Coleman. A first-round draft pick out of Baylor in the 2016 NFL draft, Coleman hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since the 2018 NFL season. - Coleman didn’t play anywhere in 2021 after he was suspended for six games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. In 2019, he suffered an ACL injury in training camp that ended his season prematurely and in 2020 he spent the majority of the season on the practice squad in New York. - - Comeback? The #Chiefs are signing former #Giants WR Corey Coleman, source said. Just 27, Coleman is back in the NFL after a year out. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 22, 2022 - - - This move has Brett Veach written all over it. He loves to buy low on former first-round draft picks and take a crack at developing them where others have failed. Coleman is just 27 years old and he had loads of talent coming out of Baylor, but that talent was sunk on really bad Browns and Giants teams. The 5-11 and 185-pound receiver ran a 4.37 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine. He has 61 career receptions for 789 yards and five touchdowns during his three years playing in the league. - If Coleman catches on in Kansas City, look for special teams to be the deciding factor. The team just lost Byron Pringle to the Chicago Bears and now they have an opening at kick returner. Coleman finished ninth in the NFL in kick return yards in 2018 with 598 yards on 23 returns in just eight games played. - - List - - How the Chiefs can win Wave 2 of free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs to sign free agent CB Luq Barcoo / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs are set to sign an intriguing free agent at the cornerback position. - According to his agency, Synergy Sports International, former Jacksonville Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers CB Luqman “Luq” Barcoo is to sign with the Chiefs. Barcoo played in three NFL games with Jaguars in 2020, including one start, amassing 10 total tackles and one pass defended. - The FBS co-interception leader (9) with San Diego State in the 2019 college football season, Barcoo actually had a pre-draft virtual meeting with the Chiefs in 2020. He ultimately signed on with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent and like many who entered the NFL during the COVID-altered year, he didn’t get much of a fair shake to catch on with the team. He didn’t play again after Week 3 in 2020 and was waived ahead of the 2021 NFL season. - - Congrats to SSI client Luq Barcoo @luqmanbarcoo on signing with the Chiefs @Chiefs! Big things ahead! #ChiefsKingdom #Playmaker #DBFranchise - — Synergy Sports Int'l (@SynergySportInt) March 22, 2022 - - - In 2021, Barcoo was claimed by the Cardinals and spent time with their team during the offseason. He was waived ahead of 53-man roster cuts, but he re-signed to their practice squad. In October, Arizona dropped Barcoo who was then signed to the 49ers practice squad. When the season ended, he wasn’t re-signed by San Francisco on a reserve/future deal. - Barcoo is still just 23 years old. At 6-1 and 190 pounds, he’s got good size. He never had a formal pro day, but he’s said to run a 4.4 40-yard dash. He’s got the ability to play special teams and could potentially develop into something more for Kansas City. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs OT Geron Christian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Contract details for new Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster / The Kansas City Chiefs have signed WR JuJu Smith-Schuster on a one-year deal. Early reports indicated that it would be a one-year deal worth $10.75 million for Smith-Schuster, but his contract was more than meets the eye. The guaranteed salary is actually much lower, with incentives potentially pushing the contract up to $10.75 million. - According to the folks at OverTheCap, Smith-Schuster’s contract with the Chiefs carries a total of $1.035 million in guaranteed salary and a $1.455 million signing bonus. That brings his total guaranteed money to $2.49 million at the point of signing his contract. His workout bonus brings his cap total to $2.89 million for the 2022 NFL season. - Many of Smith-Schuster’s performance-based incentives are considered not likely to be earned (NLTBE), which means the Chiefs do not have to account for them against this year’s salary cap. The folks at Pro Football Talk report that $2 million of those $7.5 million worth of incentives are attached to the Chiefs making it to the AFC championship game. They’ve done so in each of the past four NFL seasons, so that incentive might be one that ends up likely to be earned and they’ll have to account for it into the season. - If Smith-Schuster ends up being the player that the Chiefs think he can be in this offense, this contract will end up looking like a massive steal for the team. If he falters, it’s hardly a situation where the team will be looking back in frustration at the contract. It’s also not a bad opportunity for Smith-Schuster, who has a chance to reset his market and earn his keep after a 2021 NFL season where he dealt with injury. - - List - - 6 things to know about new Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs free agent CB Mike Hughes to sign with Lions / Another Kansas City Chiefs free agent is set to sign with a new team. - According to Pro Football Focus reporter Doug Kyed, the Detroit Lions are set to sign CB Mike Hughes on a one-year deal worth. The Chiefs traded a sixth-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings to acquire Hughes and a seventh-round pick back in May of 2021. - Hughes logged some meaningful snaps for Kansas City last season, including five starts during the course of the year. The former first-round draft pick was a player that the team liked when he was coming out of UCF in the 2018 NFL draft, both for his ability as a return specialist and on defense. In the end, he’ll spend just one seasons in Kansas City, recording 47 total tackles, six passes defended, one interception, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery returned 23 yards for a touchdown. His performance against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 14 earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. - - The #Lions are signing CB Mike Hughes to a one-year, $3.5M contract, per source. - — Doug Kyed (@DougKyed) March 21, 2022 - - - The good news here is that this contract should qualify for the compensatory pick formula for Kansas City. The bad news is that the Chiefs are down another defensive contributor in the secondary and a return specialist. That second part is notable with Byron Pringle heading to the Chicago Bears in free agency. Either Mecole Hardman is slated to take a prominent role as a punt and kick returner or the team will look to add a return specialist in the 2022 NFL draft. - - List - - How the Chiefs can win Wave 2 of free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

How does JuJu Smith-Schuster fit within Chiefs' offense? / The Kansas City Chiefs have a new receiver in the building, with JuJu Smith-Schuster formally signing his new deal with the team on Sunday. - The signing has been met with a lot of praise because it gives Patrick Mahomes a consistent third option that he seemingly lacked during the 2021 NFL season. But how exactly does Smith-Schuster fit in with the group of players that the team already has and what are some of the new things that he’ll bring to the table in Kansas City? - Asked how he envisioned his fit with the team, Smith-Schuster explained that he’s a different flavor compared to the type of players the Chiefs already have. He considers himself closer to Travis Kelce than to players like Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill. - “I’m a different type of guy, I’m a little bit more built,” Smith-Schuster told reporters. “You’ve got Tyreek and Mecole, speedster guys who can run down the field. I’m the type of guy, great hands, a little bit like Travis, great hands, big dude that can run and block, physical blocking in the run game. There’s so much I can do to help this team.” - The physicality is noted and something that clearly interested Brett Veach and Andy Reid from the jump. He’s known as a strong blocker, but he also plays well through contact. Hands will definitely be an underrated part of what Smith-Schuster brings to Kansas City, though. - In his 25 targets last season, Smith-Schuster didn’t drop a single pass. If you go back to 2020, when he played a full 16-game season, it took nine games and 128 targets before Smith-Schuster dropped a single pass. Had he been on the team that year, he would have been second on the team in dropped pass percentage behind only Kelce. Given the frequency of drops from guys like Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman, that’ll be a noticeable difference for a team that struggled to extend drives at times in 2021. - If you look at the types of routes Smith-Schuster has excelled at during his career, it’s the short-to-intermediate route combinations. That’s another area where the Chiefs really didn’t find a lot of success in 2021. He’s going to be working across the middle of the field against zone coverage with slants, flats, crossers, curls and out routes. He also has the physicality to be successful in Andy Reid’s quick screen game, both as a blocker and a receiver. - - Think JuJu has weirdly gone from one of the more overrated WRs in the game to one of the most underrated slot guys. Has been one of the best zone-beating WRs in #ReceptionPerception and thrives as an underneath chain-mover. KC needs that. - Full RP profile:https://t.co/TMso7mixLW pic.twitter.com/Df5lAl6jk4 - — Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) March 18, 2022 - - - Smith-Schuster will also give the Chiefs a bigger player that they can use

Tamba Hali explains how Andy Reid changed the Chiefs / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs franchise has featured many iconic players in the team’s history. Tamba Hali spent all eleven seasons in the NFL playing for the Chiefs. He was drafted in the first round of the 2006 draft out of Penn State, starting all 16 games as a rookie with the team. - Recently, Hali appeared as a guest on the “Upon Further Review” podcast with Zach Brook. The two discussed a number of topics, but one of the most intriguing was when Brook asked Hali about Andy Reid’s impact once he took over as head coach in Kansas City in 2013. - “Andy (Reid) is a whole different way of — the way he approached the game is way different than a lot of coaches. It’s not a lot of screaming and hooting and hollering,” said Hali.” We do that as players. He allowed us to lead, he allows personality to flare. But he just changed the culture— the entire culture. The way things should be ran.” - Hali was a 30-year-old veteran by the time Reid came to the team. He’d go on to earn three consecutive Pro Bowl selections under the coaching and tutelage of Reid. - “Obviously, he wasn’t in a rush to get rid of players,” Hali explained. “Slowly, he did it and he won with those players. But he just changed the culture. Because we had a mentality that we wasn’t the best team in the league. And every time we started to lose to a team, they knew how to just jump on us and beat us and finish us off. You know, we had great, great players at one point, but we didn’t play up to par, and coaches, coaches make a difference. So coach came in. And he just changed the way we work.” - Hali was a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro with the Chiefs, spending nearly a decade as one of the team’s defensive stars. Reid helped enable him to grow as a leader late in his career. - “We always had leaders among every group, we always had a little group,” Hali explained. “We had leaders that would even come together out of those groups to figure out what, you know, it is that we need. So Coach is different in his approach game days, so quiet, so calm, doesn’t matter what goes on. You know, he just goes by his work, and he gets it done. I was happy to be part of a winning organization in the latter part of my career, just because it’s a great feeling. When you’re winning.” - Hali was released after the 2017 NFL season and would eventually announce his retirement in 2021. He played with one organization for his entire NFL career, a rarity in today’s NFL. Hali credited the organization for making that possible for him. - “It says a lot about the

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes played a role in bringing JuJu Smith-Schuster to K.C. / - - - The newest wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs has officially joined his new team. - JuJu Smith-Schuster has landed in Kansas City, signed his deal and is set to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes during the 2022 NFL season. Speaking to the media on Sunday for the first time since joining the Chiefs, Smith-Schuster said that Mahomes was among the people to recruit him to join the team once free agency opened. - “I have talked to a couple of guys, obviously, to make this happen,” Smith-Schuster said. “I talked to Pat (Mahomes) a couple of times. But I’ve talked to Pat multiple times even before all this. I’ve known Pat for a while now, so, yeah, of course.” - Ultimately, Mahomes played a big part in Smith-Schuster’s decision to come to Kansas City. He previously mentioned Mahomes as a future Hall of Famer, but he elaborated on how much the Chiefs’ star QB factored into the decision. - “It was a big part of the process,” Smith-Schuster said. “You go into free agency, and you find out who’s going to be throwing you the ball next year. It came down to Pat (Mahomes) and I’m excited. I’m happy with my decision.” - The Chiefs also courted Smith-Schuster when he was a free agent in 2021, with Andy Reid sending him pictures of the Lombardi Trophy to try and coax him from Pittsburgh. The fact that Reid, Mahomes and the rest of the team continued their interest made him feel right at home in Kansas City. - “It’s one thing to talk with a head coach who just won the Lombardi Trophy, and for them to text me personally, it means a lot,” Smith-Schuster said. “And going into this year’s process, KC has been on me for the past two years. Obviously, I feel welcome here and appreciated.

Chiefs to sign former Texans OT Geron Christian / The Kansas City Chiefs have made an addition along the offensive line in free agency. - According to a report from Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs are set to sign former Washington Commanders and Houston Texans OT Geron Christian. Several local Chiefs beat reporters have since confirmed this signing including the KC Star’s Herbie Teope and The Athletic’s Nate Taylor. - A former third-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL draft out of the University of Louisville, Christian started eight games in Houston last season, playing 560 snaps at left tackle and 28 snaps at right tackle. In total, Christian has appeared in 38 career games with sixteen starts since entering the NFL back in 2018. - Last season, Christian allowed just one sack and 17 pressures in 14 games played. The season prior he allowed 6 sacks and 24 pressures while playing 395 snaps at left tackle for Washington per Pro Football Focus. There are clear signs of improvement in his game, but one area of concern is run-blocking, which graded out as a career-low 39.6 in 2021. - - Former Texans and Washington offensive tackle Geron Christian is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, per a league source @PFN365 former third round draft pick from Louisville joins AFC playoff team - — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 20, 2022 - - - Given how the market has been for offensive tackles, I’m not surprised to see the Chiefs take another swing at this position. Christian has experience playing both left and right tackle, so he has the makings of a swing tackle in Kansas City. He’ll likely be competing with Andrew Wylie at the right tackle spot in training camp. Remember, Lucas Niang is dealing with a significant knee injury and if he starts the season on the PUP list, he won’t be available to play until midseason at the earliest. - - List - - Chiefs news roundup — 3/20/2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs WR Daurice Fountain running routes for Colin Kaepernick / Former San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick put out an open invitation for wide receivers to get some work in with him. Several NFL players have taken him up on his offer too including players like Seattle Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett and Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields. - “For The past 5 years, I’ve been working out and staying ready in case an opportunity to play presented itself. I’m really grateful to my trainer, who I’ve been throwing to all this time. But man, do I miss throwing to professional route runners. Who’s working?? I will pull up,” Kaepernick shared on Twitter. - At least one member of the Kansas City Chiefs has taken Kaepernick up on his offer. On Saturday, photographer Knarly Designs snapped some photos of Chiefs WR Daurice Fountain, Philadelphia Eagles WR Jalen Reagor and soon-to-be NFL draft pick Danny Gray out of Southern Methodist working with Kaepernick in Dallas, Texas. - Check it out: - - @Kaepernick7 with professional photographer @KnarlyDesignz getting some work in with @jalenreagor, @Reece_JMM, and draft entry former SMU WR Danny gray pic.twitter.com/WgjqJX3IpN - — Shawn Walker Jr (@WalkerShawn14) March 19, 2022 - - - Fountain, 26, came on strong for the Chiefs late last season. The team made Josh Gordon a healthy scratch several times, eventually cutting him from the 53-man roster, in favor of elevating Fountain from the practice squad. He mostly played on special teams, but with the departure of Byron Pringle and potentially Demarcus Robinson, Fountain has a big opportunity ahead of him in Kansas City next year. - It’s good to see him out taking every possible opportunity to get better, including catching passes from a former NFL quarterback who is hoping to get another chance in the league. - - List - - Chiefs 2022 7-round mock draft v1.0: Wave 1 of free agency edition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Here is why JuJu Smith-Schuster chose the Chiefs in free agency / The Kansas City Chiefs have made their second

Here is why JuJu Smith-Schuster chose the Chiefs in free agency / The Kansas City Chiefs have made their second acquisition of the 2022 NFL free agency period, agreeing to terms with WR JuJu Smith-Schuster on a one-year deal. - Speaking to NFL Network’s Taylor Bisciotti, Smith-Schuster revealed his motivations for joining the Chiefs in free agency this time around. He had a shot to join the team in 2021, but he opted to return to Pittsburgh on a one-year deal. Now, he’s got his eyes set on playing with Patrick Mahomes, winning games, and securing a Lombardi Trophy. - - JuJu Smith-Schuster tells me he chose the #Chiefs because: - “I am going to play with a future Hall of Fame QB, to play with one of the best to ever do it. My goal as a player is to win, so I’m going to Kansas City with the hopes of winning a Super Bowl.” - — Taylor Bisciotti (@TaylorBisciotti) March 18, 2022 - - - “I am going to play with a future Hall of Fame QB, to play with one of the best to ever do it. My goal as a player is to win, so I’m going to Kansas City with the hopes of winning a Super Bowl.” - Smith-Schuster has already played with one future Hall of Famer in Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, but that came at the end of Big Ben’s career. Now, he will get a chance to play with Mahomes during his prime. - His one goal is to win and in the last 10 seasons, only the New England Patriots have won more games than the Chiefs. Even with the AFC West stocking up on weapons on offense and defense, Kansas City has gone four consecutive seasons reaching the AFC championship game, twice reaching and once winning the Super Bowl. The path won’t be easy, but Smith-Schuster has got a pretty good shot at helping the team get back there again. - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs' pro day attendance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, DL Chris Jones react to JuJu Smith-Schuster signing / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs have a new wide receiver in the building and members of the team are pumped about the signing. - After a quiet start to the 2022 NFL free agency period, the Chiefs landed WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. The team had shown interest in the former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout when he was a free agent back in 2021, but he opted to return to the Steelers for another year. This time around they were able to lure Smith-Schuster away and add another target for QB Patrick Mahomes. - Mahomes was the first to react to the signing, taking to Twitter to share his excitement for his new teammate. - - Turn me up brotha!!! https://t.co/CqCkbZBJtl - — Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes) March 18, 2022 - - - “Turn me up brotha,” Mahomes wrote, quote-tweeting Smith-Schuster’s announcement that he’d signed with the team. - Chris Jones didn’t wait long to get in on the action. In fact, he said that this was part of the plan all along. - - "Corvette Corvette" It was all part of the plan! pic.twitter.com/9L2snrpCc7 - — Chris Jones (@StoneColdJones) March 18, 2022 - - - It sure would seem that the Chiefs had plans for Smith-Schuster all along. In 2017, Brett Veach said he attempted to acquire Sammy Watkins in a trade. Watkins ended up with the Los Angeles Rams via trade and a free agent the following year. Veach never came off his desire to add Watkins and signed him as a free agent in 2018. It would seem that Veach was similarly persistent with Smith-Schuster here. If Mahomes and Jones’ excitement is any indication, it’s sure to be a popular move in the locker room for Kansas City. - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs' pro day attendance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs free agent DT Jarran Reed taking visit with Bengals / A free agent for the Kansas City Chiefs is setting up a visit with one-half of Super Bowl LVI. - According to KC Star reporter Herbie Teope, Chiefs DT Jarran Reed is set to visit the Cincinnati Bengals on a free agent visit. Reed was a late addition for the Chiefs in free agency last year after he was released by the Seattle Seahawks. It took him some time to get going in Kansas City, but once he settled into the scheme, he started making more of an impact on the defensive line. - His matchups with the Bengals are evidence of his late-year improvements too. In two games against Cincinnati in 2021, Reed totaled six pressures, including one sack against Bengals QB Joe Burrow according to PFF. The AFC title game against Cincinnati was actually one of his best performances of the season. - - Source confirms this report of DT Jarran Reed scheduled for a free-agent visit with the Bengals. - Reed joined the Chiefs last offseason on a one-year deal, started all 17 regular-season games. https://t.co/lecBOj6L8d - — Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) March 18, 2022 - - - The Bengals are potentially looking to replace Larry Ogunjobi, who was set to sign with the Chicago Bears. Ogunjobi failed his physical today and was not signed by Chicago, so there’s a chance that Cincinnati simply opts to bring him back. - The Chiefs, however, are looking to make some changes on the defensive line after it underperformed in 2021. By the looks of it, that might not happen in the free agency period with options drying up and Kansas City standing pat. The hope when Reed signed a one-year deal in 2021 was that he would perform well enough to earn a contract that would net the Chiefs a compensatory pick in 2023. A second year in Kansas City wasn’t looking very likely for Reed from the jump. - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs' pro day attendance - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

He surprised in 2019, making the initial 53-man roster for the Chiefs, primarily as a special teamer. With injuries to the WR corps, he’d have a breakout performance in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts, posting 103 yards and a score in a 19-13 loss. From that point onward, Pringle remained key depth for the team, playing both as a receiver and kick returner. He’d appear in 46 career regular-season games with the Chiefs, starting in eight games. - At 28 years old, Pringle heads to compete in the NFC, but he’s extraordinarily grateful for his time in Kansas City. Pringle wrote a thank you message to the organization and fans and shared it on Twitter. - - Forever thankful for the opportunity the Chiefs gave me. Blessed to have been apart of great organization for the past 4 years. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and fans! #ChiefsKingdom #KState #EMAW - — Byron Pringle (@pringle_byron) March 18, 2022 - - - “Forever thankful for the opportunity the Chiefs gave me. Blessed to have been apart of great organization for the past 4 years. Thank you to my coaches, teammates, and fans!” - Pringle won two Lamar Hunt Trophies and Super Bowl LIV with the Chiefs. He also earned himself a sponsorship with the “Pringles” potato chip brand.

Chiefs TE Mark Vital supports alma mater Baylor in NCAA Tournament / NFL free agency may dominate the headlines this time of year, but plenty of attention is paid to the other “March Madness.” The annual battle of top college basketball teams in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament takes center stage. - A member of the Kansas City Chiefs’ roster is paying even closer attention to this year’s tournament as his alma mater looks to repeat as national champions. Mark Vital is entering his second season in the NFL after recently signing a future/reserve contract with Kansas City after spending a portion of last season on the practice squad. Vital was a starter on the Baylor Bears national championship men’s basketball team in 2021 in his senior year. The 25-year-old averaged 6.4 points and 6.4 rebounds during his four-year college career. - In a recently shared video on Twitter, Vital is wearing his old Baylor number 11 jersey in a car rooting his former teammates before their opening-round game on Thursday. - - Let’s go pic.twitter.com/SYaURKKXnh - — Mark Vital Jr. (@MarkVitalJr) March 17, 2022 - - - “Still can fit my jersey with all the extra layers and everything,” said Vital. “It’s crazy, man, on to this Baylor game, baby, let’s go!” - Vital went undrafted in the NBA, only appearing on a Summer League roster before making his intentions known that he will switch to football. He was initially signed by the Seattle Seahawks last September only to be waived and picked up by the Chiefs a few days later. Many former basketball players have turned to the NFL to find success as professional athletes with examples such as Antonio Gates and Chiefs All-Time great Tony Gonzalez. - They might want to consider putting Vital on the hail mary team in Kansas City. - - Baylor’s Mark Vital sent this shot pic.twitter.com/voD4GX6FFT - — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) March 19, 2021 - - - Baylor won their opening-round game convincingly over Norfolk State 85-49.

Chiefs had interest in bringing back new Panthers LB Damien Wilson / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs had an interest in bringing back a player who won Super Bowl LIV with the team before he ended up signing elsewhere. - According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs had expressed an interest in bringing LB Damien Wilson back to Kansas City, but he ended up signing a two-year deal worth $6.9 million with the Carolina Panthers. Wilson played for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021 and had a career season, posting 106 total tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, five passes defended and an interception. In fact, he performed so well that he earned a compensatory pick for his old team. - Wilson spent two years with the Chiefs from 2019 to 2020, starting in a total of 35 games. That includes the postseason and starts in both Super Bowl LIV and Super Bowl LV. - - Panthers announced Damien Wilson signing. Chiefs had interest in bringing Wilson back after he had a career year in Jacksonville. - — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) March 17, 2022 - - - Bringing Wilson back was probably a hard sell for the Chiefs given the fact that they’ve got two studs at the linebacker position who are going to be taking the majority of the snaps. Wilson is likely to be a starting in Carolina alongside Shaq Thompson. - While Kansas City didn’t land this player it gives you an idea that they are looking to add another piece to their linebacker room. The team currently has three players under contract at the position with Nick Bolton, Willie Gay Jr. and Darius Harris. The linebacker market still has quite a few players left on it including Bobby Wagner, Kyzir White, Rashaan Evans, and Jayon Brown. It’s entirely possible that they could still be poking around that market as free agency continues in order to add a piece that supplements their current LB corps. - - List - - 6 takeaways from Chiefs S Justin Reid's intro press conference - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

4 different takes on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu's market value / Kansas City Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu is expected to

4 different takes on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu's market value / Kansas City Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu is expected to test the free agent market. - He’ll get his first shot at negotiating with teams beginning on Monday when the league’s legal tampering period opens. With free agency just around the corner, several analysts across the league have taken a shot at projecting what Mathieu’s market and asking price might look like. - ESPN took at simulating free agency, posing offers as three different teams. CBS Sports analyst Joel Corry, a former NFL agent, also recently published an article with projected asking prices for top free agents. Here’s a look at the different takes they had on what Tyrann Mathieu could potentially be offered on the open market. - - ESPN’s Adam Teicher (Chiefs) – 2 years, $29.5 million with $20 million guaranteed. - ESPN’s Rich Cimini (Jets) – 2 years, $28 million with $21 million guaranteed and a Year 3 void year. - ESPN’s Mike Triplett (Saints) – 3 years, $42 million with $28 million guaranteed and two void years. - CBS Sports’ Joel Corry – 4 years, $66 million with $35 million in guarantees. - - ESPN’s valuation seems to have Mathieu in the $14-15 million per year range, while Corry has Mathieu earning a $16.5 million per year average. Mathieu is coming off of a deal that is very similar to the one proposed by Triplett above, which was a 3-year deal worth $42 million straight up, with $26.8 million in guaranteed money. - I tend to believe that Mathieu is not only deserving of a raise, but the market for safety has increased quite a bit since he signed his deal with Kansas City back in 2019. Corry’s deal seems the most likely of the four options as it would pay him in line with Jamal Adams, Harrison Smith and Justin Simmons, right at the top of the market. I’d be surprised if he signed for anything less than $15 million per year and pushed upwards of $30 million in guaranteed money. - While Mathieu turns 30 in May, he’s coming off of a productive three-year stretch where he’s recorded over 200 tackles, 13 interceptions, 27 passes defended, eight tackles for loss and three sacks. He also earned two First-Team All-Pro selections, two Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl ring during that same stretch. - - List - - 5 bargain free agents for Chiefs to consider in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox

Chiefs could be landing spot for former Vikings CB Jeff Gladney / - - - Could the Kansas City Chiefs pursue former Minnesota Vikings CB Jeff Gladney now that he has been cleared of felony charges? - Last August, Gladney was indicted on a felony assault charge. He was released by the Vikings just hours afterward. On Thursday, Gladney was acquitted of the charges by a jury in Dallas, Texas. - A former TCU standout, Gladney was drafted with pick No. 31 in the 2020 NFL draft, one pick prior to the Chiefs’ selection of RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire. The team showed interest in him ahead of the draft, hosting Gladney on one of their allotted virtual pre-draft visits. - The Chiefs are no stranger to giving players second chances, especially at the cornerback position. They did so with former first-round draft pick Deandre Baker, who was released by the New York Giants due to allegations of armed robbery. Baker was eventually cleared and eventually joined the Chiefs’ practice squad. He is going on his third season in Kansas City after being tendered as an exclusive rights free agent. - At the same time, the Chiefs tried to do the same thing with troubled CB Damon Arnette, formerly of the Las Vegas Raiders. That didn’t last after he was arrested on a litany of charges in late January and subsequently released by Kansas City. This also speaks to the low-risk nature of these types of signings, though. If it doesn’t work out, you simply move on. - Gladney, 25, fits GM Brett Veach’s modus operandi and a one-year deal could be beneficial for both parties. The Chiefs have needs in the secondary with CB Charvarius Ward slated to hit free agency. Gladney needs to prove that he’s capable of staying out of trouble and playing at a high level in the NFL. The 5-10 and 191-pound corner played only his rookie season, starting 15-of-16 games in 2020, with 81 total tackles and a forced fumble on the year. - - List - - 5 bargain free agents for Chiefs to consider in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

WATCH: Best mic'd up moments from Chiefs' 2021 season / The Kansas City Chiefs had some great mic’d up moments

WATCH: Best mic'd up moments from Chiefs' 2021 season / The Kansas City Chiefs had some great mic’d up moments during the course of the 2021 NFL season. - Those moments range from funny to downright impressive feats of skill. Let’s start out talking about the funny, though. For instance, it’s crazy how many different checks the Chiefs have at the line of scrimmage, both on offense and defense, that are named after foods. - “Banana, banana,” Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes called out at the line of scrimmage. “Banana.” - “Nacho, nacho,” Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. shouted to his teammates. “Nacho.” - “Curry, curry, curry,” Mahomes said as he approached the huddle. “Curry, curry, curry.” - You just know that Andy Reid’s mind came up with all of the food-related checks and play calls. Mahomes wasn’t the only one talking bananas either, as cameras caught RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire eating a banana on the sideline. - “Noshing on my banana, man,” Edwards-Helaire says on the sideline. “I be hungry as hell.” - One of my favorite moments came in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. Tyrann Mathieu, who was fresh off the COVID-19 reserve list, had nearly picked off a pass from Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. He started goading the Baltimore offense as they walked back to the huddle. - “Hey, hey,” Mathieu shouted. “Y’all better run the ball, I’m telling you. Run the f-ing ball. I’m going to pick the next one. I’m telling you.” - Sure enough, on the next play, former Chiefs WR Sammy Watkins falls out of his break and Jackson throws the ball right into Mathieu’s chest for a pick-six.

Chiefs plan to tender qualifying offer to ERFA CB Deandre Baker / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs plan to tender at least one of their four exclusive rights free agents. - According to Kansas City Star beat writer Herbie Teope, the Chiefs will extend a qualifying offer to CB Deandre Baker before the start of the new league year. As an exclusive rights free agent (ERFA), the team is required to extend a qualifying offer before free agency otherwise Baker would become an unrestricted free agent. - The Chiefs added Deandre Baker to the practice squad in 2020 and promoted him to the 53-man roster via standard elevation twice. Baker suffered a serious non-contact leg fracture in the final game of the regular season, but he returned to health in 2021, appearing in eight games including one start in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In total, he played a combined 238 snaps on defense in the regular season and postseason. - - The Chiefs plan to extend a tender offer ERFA CB Deandre Baker before March 16, the start of the NFL's new calendar year, per source. - Baker appeared in eight regular-season games with one start for the Chiefs in 2021. - — Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) March 10, 2022 - - - With Charvarius Ward set to have a robust market in free agency, it makes plenty of sense to bring Baker back this season. He’ll likely compete for a starting role on the outside with a draft pick or another free agent signing. The team relied on him in a depth capacity this past offseason, so this will really be a chance for him to take a step forward in the system. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at running back - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs LT Eric Fisher not expected to re-sign with Colts / - - - The former No. 1 overall pick by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2013 NFL draft is expected to become a free agent again. - According to a new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, former Chiefs LT Eric Fisher is not expected to re-sign with the Indianapolis Colts. Schefter reports that the two sides have spoken in recent weeks about striking a new deal. The news that Fisher is poised to hit free agency suggests that the two sides weren’t very close on their numbers. - Next to Saints LT Terron Armstead, Fisher could be the best left tackle on the market and he likely knows that. There should be a strong market for his services if he were to hit the open market. - - Pro-Bowl left tackle Eric Fisher is not expected to resign with the Colts despite the fact that the two sides have spent recent weeks trying to strike a new deal, per sources. Fisher now is poised to hit free agency next week. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 9, 2022 - - - Fisher was released by the Chiefs ahead of the 2021 free agency period and after spending eight seasons with the team, including seven seasons as the starting left tackle. He was a salary cap casualty with the salary cap shortfall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That decision was made easier after Fisher ruptured his Achilles tendon in the AFC title game ahead of Super Bowl LV. - Fisher signed a one-year contract with the Colts in May of 2021, joining former Chiefs executive Chris Ballard. He started 15 games at left tackle for Indianapolis last season, but he was clearly still working his way back from the Achilles injury early in the year. - It’s unlikely that a return to the Chiefs would happen given the team’s decision to move forward with Orlando Brown Jr. as their left tackle. One team to look out for is the Chicago Bears, who now have former Chiefs executive Ryan Poles running the show. - - List - - College pro day schedule for 2022 NFL offseason - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll

Chiefs draft pick Phillip Gaines now coaching cornerbacks at Rice / - - - A former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick has returned to his alma mater to potentially begin a career in coaching. - Speaking to reporters ahead of the team’s first spring practice, Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren announced a pair of additions to his coaching staff. One of those additions was former Chiefs CB Phillip Gaines, who will be serving as a defensive assistant working with cornerbacks under CBs coach Gerard Wilcher. - “A couple of new additions that you’ll see out here today,” Bloomgren told media members ahead of practice. “One returning to Rice is Phillip Gaines, after his seven-year career in the NFL. He’ll be out here assisting with our corners.” - Gaines was drafted by Kansas City in the third round of the 2014 NFL draft under then-General Manager John Dorsey. He primarily played slot corner for the Chiefs in Bob Sutton’s defense, but he battled injuries during his time in Kansas City. They really disrupted his development and ability to be a long-term contributor to the team. - Gaines appeared in 41 games over four seasons with the Chiefs, making 16 starts and recording 100 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, 14 passes defended and one interception. He also spent time with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns in 2018. He made his last NFL stop with the Houston Texans from 2019 through 2020. - The other addition announced for the Rice coaching staff was former Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson, who has been hired as the team’s RBs coach. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at wide receiver - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs LB Anthony Hitchens interested in returning to Cowboys / A former member of the Kansas City Chiefs could potentially return to the team that drafted him. - According to Dallas Morning News beat writer Calvin Watkins, former Chiefs LB Anthony Hitchens “has a desire” to return to the Dallas Cowboys after spending his last four seasons in Kansas City. Hitchens also spent four seasons with the Cowboys from 2014-2017 after they selected him in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft. - Dallas has a need at the linebacker position heading into free agency with Leighton Vander Esch scheduled to become a free agent and after they moved on Jaylon Smith last season. Hitchens could be a low-cost stop-gap for the Cowboys and he wouldn’t count toward the compensatory pick formula for them either. - - Former Cowboys LB Anthony Hitchens has a desire to return after spending 4 years in KC. Cowboys seek a LB in FA or draft. Can Hitchens and Parsons work together? - — Calvin Watkins (@calvinwatkins) March 8, 2022 - - - The Chiefs, of course, released Hitchens in late February. The emergence of both Nick Bolton and Willie Gay Jr. gave them the confidence to move on from the veteran and his expensive contract. Speaking to the media at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, Brett Veach didn’t close the door on Hitchens returning to Kansas City on a much cheaper deal. But that seems like something that would happen only if Hitchens couldn’t find a better deal out there in free agency. - A team like Dallas makes a lot of sense for a player like Hitchens and is one potential landing spot for him. Several other teams could emerge as we inch closer to the start of free agency and things start to heat up across the league. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at wide receiver - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Will pending free agent RB Darrel Williams be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - -

Will pending free agent RB Darrel Williams be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs are out to improve their roster during the course of the 2022 NFL offseason. Part of that will be retaining key players on offense, defense and special teams. Handing out contracts to running backs is always a point of contention in the NFL as they’re known as one of the most replaceable positions. Will the Chiefs reward Darrel Williams with a new contract after his 2021 NFL season? - A former undrafted agent out of LSU in 2018, Williams signed a one-year deal with Kansas City last offseason, earning $2.13 million with just under a million in guaranteed money attached to the deal. After proving to be a valuable backup in the 2020 playoffs while filling in for Clyde Edwards-Helaire, the team brought him back. He further emphasized that point during the 2021 NFL season, operating as the starting running back in 7-of-17 games played. Williams filled in for Edwards-Helaire again when he dealt with both an early-season MCL sprain and a late-season shoulder injury. - As a result, Williams put up the best season of his young NFL career. He amassed 191 touches for 1,010 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns on the year. He was one of only three players in Kansas City to cross the 1,000 scrimmage yard mark along with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. That’s elite company to be in, but could it also price Williams out of Kansas City? - The soon-to-be 27-year-old running back could find other teams interested in his services were he to hit the open market. The Chiefs are unlikely to get in a bidding war to retain him and likely would look to sign him to a contract potentially under his market value. That said, with Edwards-Helaire and reserve/future signee Brenden Knox as the only two running backs under contract, it’s possible that Kansas City values Williams enough to find a way to bring him back in 2022. - We already know that the Chiefs have met with at least one running back at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. It’s possible that they’re looking for mid-to-late round options knowing they won’t be able to bring back all of their pending free agents at the position. Jerick McKinnon is also a pending free agent and could be higher up the priority list given how he finished as the starter for the team during the postseason. - - List - - Latest on Chiefs using non-exclusive franchise tag on LT Orlando Brown Jr. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article?

Chiefs CB Charvarius Ward expected to have robust free agent market / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs might have a tough time retaining one of their most valuable defenders should he reach free agency. - According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Chiefs CB Charvarius Ward is expected to be a key player in the free agent cornerback market and could be one of the top-paid players at his position. Fowler named two teams that would specifically have interest in Ward and also said he could command a salary comparable to two of the top cornerbacks who are expected to hit the market. - Here’s what Fowler had to say about Ward in his recent report: - “He has emerged as a key player in the cornerback market and should be paid quite well. Expect the Chargers and San Franciso 49ers to be interested, among others. He might not be paid as much as, say, a J.C. Jackson or Carlton Davis. But don’t be surprised if he’s awfully close.” - It’s not a big surprise to hear that Ward could command top cornerback money. He made a big jump from 2020 to 2021 in terms of performance and is coming off of what is considered the best season of his career. He’s deserving of the big payday and should absolutely receive heavy interest from other teams. - During his media availability at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, Brett Veach said the Chiefs had an interest in retaining Ward, but if he’s commanding top cornerback money that could complicate things. In the same breath, Veach explained that it’s tough to retain everyone when you have a good football team. As things currently stand, it looks like Ward may have played his last snap in Kansas City. - - List - - Chiefs news roundup — 3/6/2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs to use franchise tag on Orlando Brown Jr. / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs have elected to use the franchise tag on Orlando Brown Jr. according to a new report. - Just as GM Brett Veach indicated they would, the Chiefs have placed the franchise tag on Brown ahead of the Tuesday, March 8 deadline. It marks the first time the Chiefs have used the franchise tag since 2020 when they placed it on DT Chris Jones before eventually signing him to a long-term contract extension. - After acquiring Brown in trade with the Baltimore Ravens last April, he went on to appear in 19 games for Kansas City including the postseason. He missed a single game in Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals with a calf injury suffered during warmups. Brown’s season ended with him earning his third consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl after his first season protecting Patrick Mahomes. With a successful inaugural campaign under his belt, it’s clear that the Chiefs envision Brown as their left tackle of the future. - Directly after the trade, there were reports that the team was willing to use the franchise tag on Brown in 2022. Now, that becomes a reality for Kansas City. - - Kansas City Chiefs are franchise tagging OT Orlando Brown, per league sources. Brown becomes the first free-agent-to-be this off-season known to be getting the franchise tag. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 7, 2022 - - - If Brown signs under the tag, he will earn a guaranteed salary of near $16.5 million for the 2022 NFL season. The team will also have until mid-July to lock Brown up to a long-term contract as a well, which is likely the end goal for Kansas City here. That said, if the two sides are unable to come to an agreement on a long-term contract extension, Brown won’t be hitting free agency and the Chiefs will have the franchise tag to fall back on. - - List - - 7 Chiefs players who could be next in line for a contract extension - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

The veteran defensive back is expected to be coveted for his leadership and could command a double-digit annual salary per Rapoport. - “[Tyrann Mathieu] is not yet 30 years old, but he’s going to be in a couple of months. My understanding is he’s going to test the market. There is a chance he’s back in Kansas City, but they have so many priorities. I know he’s a huge, huge part of their team. We’ll see what kind of competition they get from elsewhere. Still can play at a really high level, but really it’s the leadership that the Honey Badger can bring to any locker room. He’s going to be coveted and probably breaks double digits as far as his next salary.” - This news comes just days after Chiefs GM Brett Veach told reporters he’d be meeting with Mathieu’s representation at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. It’s clear that the two sides exchanged numbers and weren’t close on a deal, which is leading Mathieu to test the waters in free agency. - If Mathieu can get a better deal from another club, it’s likely that he’ll take it. It’s possible that he gives Kansas City an opportunity to match any offers, but what’s abundantly clear is that Veach has earmarked a certain amount of money for retaining Mathieu. That amount is not enough to get a deal done ahead of free agency, but if Mathieu’s market isn’t as fruitful as is expected, it’s possible he’ll return to the team. - Another reason that the Chiefs are comfortable letting Mathieu test the market is because of their position in the 2022 NFL draft. They feel that they’re uniquely situated, outside of perceived top prospect Kyle Hamilton, to have their choice of safety at pick No. 30. If they find themselves in a situation where a receiver or edge rusher they really like is available, they also have a level of comfort waiting until Day 2 to fill that need. - - List - - 11 prospects to watch for Chiefs on Day 4 of combine workouts - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email -

Chiefs likely to support Colts' proposal to change NFL overtime rules / Another NFL team is proposing that the league

Chiefs likely to support Colts' proposal to change NFL overtime rules / Another NFL team is proposing that the league changes its overtime rules and the Kansas City Chiefs should be fervent supporters. - The Indianapolis Colts are the latest team to try and get overtime rules changed, submitting a proposal to the competition committee that would guarantee at least one possession in overtime during both regular season and postseason games. - After Patrick Mahomes never touched the football during the overtime period in the 2018 AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots, the Chiefs led the charge on a proposal to get overtime rules changed. They proposed a change to the NFL competition committee, one which sought to remove preseason overtime, the overtime coin toss and called for each team to get the ball on offense at least once. That proposal was eventually tabled until May and failed to come to a vote at the next owner’s meeting after receiving support from only the Dallas Cowboys. - The new support for overtime rules changes stems from another game during the AFC playoffs involving Kansas City. This time it’s the AFC divisional-round game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills that was subject to scrutiny. After a thrilling game in regulation, Kansas City won the coin toss and marched down the field to score and advance to the AFC title game. It was basically the exact opposite of what happened to them back in 2018. Bills QB Josh Allen had to stand idly by with no chance to touch the football in overtime. - Speaking after the game, Chiefs HC Andy Reid said he’d still support change even with things falling in their favor this time around. - “I don’t know, but I’m glad we didn’t change them as of last night,” Reid said following the game. “I had a chance to talk to Sean (McDermott) afterwards, and that’s I’m sure something they’re going to look at again, too, and I wouldn’t be opposed to it. That’s a hard thing, it was great for us last night, but is it great for the game, which is the most important thing that we should all be looking out for. To make things equal, it probably needs to be able to hit both offenses and both defenses.” - If Reid’s words ring true, you can expect the team to support the new proposal from the Colts. Will other teams come out in support of a change to the rules, though? That remains to be seen. - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: C Creed Humphrey - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - -

Will pending free agent CB Charvarius Ward be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs are

Will pending free agent CB Charvarius Ward be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs are out to improve their roster during the course of the 2022 NFL offseason. Part of that will be retaining key players on offense, defense and special teams. One player who poses a tough decision for Brett Veach and company is CB Charvarius Ward. - The team shipped off a late-round draft pick for Ward in an unprecedented draft pick for undrafted free agent trade ahead of the 2018 NFL season. He spent the majority of his rookie season riding the bench as a healthy scratch until an injury to Kendall Fuller opened an opportunity for Ward to get some starting time. Ever since then, Ward has been a defensive fixture in Kansas City, starting 41 regular-season games over the past three seasons. - This past year was one of his best statistically, with 67 tackles, two tackles for loss, two interceptions and 10 passes defended in 12 games started. He allowed just a 77 passer rating into his coverage with 36 receptions allowed all season long. Pro Football Focus even named him the team’s most improved player from 2020 to 2021. - With all of this in mind, Ward is due for a big payday should he hit free agency. It’s going to force the Chiefs into a bind, one where they’ll have to decide if this cornerstone of their defense for the past three seasons can be extended on a long-term contract. Projections from Spotrac show that Ward could earn up to $9.9M per year annually on the open market in free agency this offseason. That’d probably be a little rich for the Chiefs, but it’s not out of the question that they could make it work if they wanted to. - Speaking to reporters at the end of the season, Veach was complimentary of Ward and the job he’s done for the team. He said they’d like to talk to Ward, but he quickly changed the discussion to focus on young corners L’Jarius Sneed and Rashad Fenton. Specifically, on the CB situation in free agency, Veach mentioned that it’s not a cheap position. Reading between the lines, it feels like he’s expecting Ward to hit free agency and to be paid a lot by another team. It also sounds like the team might not be too active in the CB market in general. - I have to wonder if the team’s success identifying cornerback talent in the late rounds and undrafted free agency has Veach a bit overconfident in their ability to replace a key piece like Ward. That said, there is at least some evidence that suggests Kansas City has the better of their cornerbacks from 2021 under contract in 2022. - - List - - Breaking down Chiefs' picks in Draft Wire's pre-combine mock draft - - - - - - - - - -

Chiefs make sense as Cardinals' opponents in Mexico City in 2022 / The NFL officially announced all of the home

Chiefs make sense as Cardinals' opponents in Mexico City in 2022 / The NFL officially announced all of the home teams for their five international games in 2022. - The New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars and Green Bay Packers will play home games in London, England. The Tampa Buccaneers will play a home game in Munich, Germany. The Arizona Cardinals will play a home game in Mexico City, Mexico. - While opponents haven’t been announced for these games yet, the Kansas City Chiefs have been linked to the game played in Munich. Not only were they awarded NFL international marketing right for Germany, but the team has a bit of a partnership with FC Bayern, who will play host to the game in Munich. There’s also, of course, the appeal of a Super Bowl rematch being playing in the first-ever regular-season game in Germany. - Kansas City also makes sense as opponents in another international game. The team was also awarded international marketing rights for Mexico along with Arizona and seven other NFL teams. They could very well be the Cardinals’ opponent in Mexico City in 2022, as the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are the only other teams playing Arizona at home with marketing rights in Mexico. - The Chiefs last played internationally in 2019, facing the Los Angeles Chargers at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. K.C. won that game 24-17 ahead of their run to become champions in Super Bowl LIV. - It seems like the Chiefs could just as easily be the road opponents against the Cards in the upcoming Mexico City game as they could be the road opponents against the Bucs in Germany. If K.C. plays in Mexico City in 2022, look for them to potentially be the home team in the next game played in Munich in 2024. - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: C Creed Humphrey - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu ranks 17th in PFF's pending free agent rankings / As the NFL offseason gets underway, there

Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu ranks 17th in PFF's pending free agent rankings / As the NFL offseason gets underway, there are plenty of questions regarding the potential of free agent players changing teams. The Kansas City Chiefs have decisions to make over the next few weeks, and one of them will circle the future of Pro Bowl safety Tyrann Mathieu. - Mathieu is a pending free agent and will be a top option for teams seeking to bolster their secondary should he reach free agency. According to Pro Football Focus, the former LSU Tiger is No. 17 among all NFL players in this year’s class of free agents. PFF’s George Chahrouri discussed the possible fit for Mathieu next season on Friday afternoon with NFL Network’s Patrick Claybon. - “I’m a huge tire Mathieu fan, as is everyone at PFF,” said Chahrouri.” And I think what I’ve highlighted here is that it really the match needs to be really good. There’s been speculation that the (Baltimore) Ravens are interested. I love that and I think this ranking is more about the fact that he can’t just go to any team. He’s got to have a team that’s committed to using him in the right way, with his strength. He’s going to be 30 soon. It’s not like, you know, the biggest issue in the world, but in coverage, that has been something that we’ve seen, right? - “It’s not necessarily getting better from a single coverage perspective, and his grade reflects that. It’s been outside of the top 10 the last couple of seasons there. But in the right system, he can be that guy that plays a bunch of different roles and still blitz really effectively, and he obviously understands the game super well. So for the Ravens, think maybe a little higher than 17.” - Mathieu finished 2021 with 76 tackles, three interceptions, and one sack in 16 games played. The Chiefs defense that will already have new look next season following the release of veteran linebacker Anthony Hitchens. Only time will tell Brett Veach can work to keep Mathieu, another veteran leader on the defense, in Kansas City for the foreseeable future. - - List - - 6 potential salary cap casualties Chiefs could target in free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for

Here is what Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes thinks of new QBs coach Matt Nagy / The Kansas City Chiefs have

Here is what Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes thinks of new QBs coach Matt Nagy / The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a familiar face to the coaching staff and that news should excite the team’s star quarterback. - The Chiefs announced on Friday that they’d hired former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy as quarterbacks coach and a senior offensive assistant. Nagy previously spent five seasons with the Chiefs, serving as QBs coach for three seasons (2013-2015) and offensive coordinator for two (2016-2017). Notably, Nagy served as offensive coordinator when Patrick Mahomes was a rookie — even calling the plays during his first NFL game in Week 17 against the Denver Broncos. - Nagy helped lay the foundation for Mahomes, who would go on to have a record-setting 2018 campaign where he won the league’s MVP award. But what does Mahomes actually think about Nagy when it comes to coaching quarterbacks? - “I think he relates to quarterbacks so well,” Mahomes told reporters ahead of a preseason game with the Bears in 2018. “Especially the young guys. He’s been through the process. He’s tried to make a career of his own as a quarterback then moved over to coaching. Just having someone that has been through that process and knows how to relate to the young guys and especially the quarterback position will help you really understand the offense and really understand what the defenses are trying to get.” - Nagy’s experience as a quarterback in the NFL himself informed his ability to simplify things for Mahomes as a young player. Mahomes also felt that Nagy’s strategy as an offensive coordinator really helped set him up for the success he had behind closed doors and in his first start as a rookie. - “Obviously he was an awesome, awesome coach and he helped me out a ton, helping explain things to me as I was coming from a totally different offense to this one,” Mahomes said of Nagy ahead of the Week 16 game against the Bears in 2019. “He really helped me with just presenting it in different ways that I understood and was able to pick up so I could have success whenever I was in practice or in preseason games or the last game of the regular season. I mean he’s a great human being and a great coach and he really understands how to get the best out of his quarterback.” - This last bit — said by Mahomes during the week leading up to Super Bowl LIV — should excite Chiefs fans the most about Nagy’s return. - ‘‘Nagy was amazing with me and my transition into the NFL,” Mahomes said ahead of Super Bowl LIV, via the Chicago Sun-Times, “Being able to relate to me, being able to go out there and let me play fast and be who I am.” - 2021 was the most inconsistent season of Patrick Mahomes’ career to this point.

Chiefs hire Matt Nagy as QBs coach, senior offensive assistant / A former Kansas City Chiefs assistant is returning to the coaching staff after several years away as head coach of the Chicago Bears. - The Chiefs announced on Friday that they’ve officially hired Matt Nagy as a senior offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach. Nagy returns to Kansas City, where he spent five seasons as the Chiefs’ quarterbacks coach from 2013-15, was the co-offensive coordinator with Brad Childress in 2016 and was the sole offensive coordinator during Alex Smith’s best season in 2017. That season also happened to be Patrick Mahomes’ rookie season, so the two are already quite familiar with each other. - - We have hired Matt Nagy as Senior Assistant/Quarterbacks Coach. - : AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh pic.twitter.com/QFTQQFJ21u - — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) February 25, 2022 - - - Nagy was named head coach of the Bears following the 2017 NFL season and earned Coach of the Year honors after leading Chicago to a 12-4 record and their first NFC North title since 2008. Things quickly spiraled from there for Nagy and he’d finish his tenure with the Bears with a 33-34 record, including postseason play. Nagy was fired after four seasons along with general manager Ryan Pace. - Nagy played QB in the NFL under Andy Reid in Philadelphia, which led to his first coaching opportunity with Reid and the Eagles back in 2009. - This reunion made a lot of sense as soon as Mike Kafka left for the New York Giants. Nagy already knows the key players, play-callers and the way that things operate in Kansas City. If he can help Mahomes become more consistent after an inconsistent 2021 NFL season, it could put him on the fast track to earning another head-coaching opportunity in the NFL. - - List - - 6 potential salary cap casualties Chiefs could target in free agency - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Reports: Eric Bieniemy expected to return as Chiefs' offensive coordinator / The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to stick with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for the 2022 NFL season according to multiple reports. - As first reported by FanSided’s Matt Verderame and confirmed by WDAF-TV’s Harold R. Kuntz, the Chiefs anticipate Eric Bieniemy will return as offensive coordinator in 2022. Bieniemy signed a one-year contract following the 2021 NFL season with hopes of getting an NFL head coaching job in this cycle. Despite interviewing for multiple positions, Bieniemy was passed over yet again for an NFL head coaching job. - A report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Super Bowl Sunday revealed that Eric Bieniemy’s future in Kansas City was all but certain. Schefter reported that Andy Reid and Bieniemy would meet to discuss the future, noting that several options were on the table, including Bieniemy leaving the Chiefs. That meeting has since taken place, in an informal setting while Reid was in California for John Madden’s Memorial per Verderame’s report. Clearly, that meeting went amicably for Bieniemy to be returning as offensive coordinator in 2022. - Bieniemy has been with the Chiefs since Andy Reid first arrived in 2013, serving as running backs coach from 2013 through 2017. When Matt Nagy left to become head coach of the Chicago Bears following the 2017 NFL season, Bieniemy was promoted to offensive coordinator. In each of the four seasons that Bieniemy has been the offensive coordinator, Kansas City has finished within the top 6 in the league in total offense. They’ve also been to four consecutive AFC championship games and two Super Bowls (LIV and LV) under his leadership and guidance on offense. - Bieniemy’s aspirations to become an NFL head coach remain, so Chiefs fans can expect another one-year deal for the offensive coordinator. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at linebacker - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs LB coach Matt House explains decision to return to college football / The Kansas City Chiefs lost a pair of defensive position coaches this offseason. - Instead of staying in Kansas City or pursuing another NFL job, former Chiefs LB coach Matt House joined the college football ranks. Speaking to the media in his introductory press conference on Wednesday, House explained why he decided to leave such a high-profile NFL job to return to college football. - “Several things. First of all, when you leave coordinating, you always have that hunger to get back and do it,” House told reporters. “I enjoy the part of the game, the scheme part, the building of a team, the building of a staff. I enjoy when you lock arms and get in a room together and you can put together a plan and I enjoy the development piece. - “It was fun for three years in Kansas City to go back and work with (Steve Spagnuolo) and learn from Coach (Andy) Reid. Obviously, you know, winning at a high level. At the end of the day, there was a hunger to come back and be a defensive coordinator. I miss the part of the relationships with the players. I had a great linebacker room in Kansas City, great guys. But one of the things that I did miss, I have four kids of my own and I missed the opportunity for my kids to get to know the people I was spending time with. Coming back to college affords you to do that.” - House had been a defensive coordinator at Pittsburgh, Florida International and Kentucky before he ended up joining the Chiefs as linebackers coach in 2019. His connection to Steve Spagnuolo stemmed from when he served as defensive quality control coach for the St. Louis Rams from 2009 to 2011. Now, returning to college football for the first time since 2018, House brings plenty of knowledge learned from winning at the highest level of the game. - “The No. 1 thing is — talent will only get you so far,” House said. “I mean, you look at, winning at that level, the locker room and the leaders within each position group. The standard and the consistency that it takes to win day in and day out. Those are the things, when you win at that level, that kind of come through. Everybody (in the NFL) has a certain level of talent. It’s the teams that bond together and play to a standard that win.” - As for choosing LSU, House had a lot of encouragement from within the Chiefs’ locker room. He spoke about the former LSU players that Kansas City has and how passionate they remain about their alma mater. - “I’m going to tell you what,” House began. “Of any place that I have been, (LSU has) the most passionate former players I have seen. Whether it was Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) or (Tyrann Mathieu), those guys love this university

Former Chiefs DL Mike DeVito to be inducted into Maine Sports Hall of Fame / After a nine-year NFL career

Former Chiefs DL Mike DeVito to be inducted into Maine Sports Hall of Fame / After a nine-year NFL career where he competed in 110 games, former Kansas City Chiefs stalwart Mike DeVito will be inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame. In his three seasons in Kansas City DeVito tallied 48 tackles from 2013 to 2015 as a key asset in the team’s turnaround in the early Andy Reid era. - Though his selection by the prestigious institution was mostly tied to his time playing for the University of Maine football team, Chiefs fans are sure to recognize the greatness that got him into such elite company. He tallied 16 career sacks as a Black Bear, earning all-conference honors after a standout 2006 campaign. - As a college star at an FCS school, he went undrafted in 2007 signing with the New York Jets and eventually making his debut in Week 12 of his rookie season. He played six seasons in New York, making a name for himself as a starting-caliber lineman who played with grit that could improve any defense. - As one of the earliest additions to the new-look 2013 Chiefs roster, former general manager John Dorsey made a point to sign DeVito as soon as free agency opened, inking him to a three-year deal that March. He made 14 starts for Kansas City before tearing his Achilles early in 2014. He would go on to play in 13 more games for the Chiefs in 2015 when he came off injured reserve, securing 3 sacks and 19 tackles in his final season. - Though he was often overshadowed by the top-flight talent the team had on defense in his time with the team, DeVito was a rock-solid defensive lineman who helped change Kansas City’s fortunes in short order after the Chiefs’ meltdown 2012 campaign. His presence helped free up Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in the pass rush, and his knack for eating up run blocks with consistency made him a menace to any opposing gameplan. - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: DE Joshua Kaindoh - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

His decision to join Miami wasn’t a matter of a contract expiring (he still had one year on his contract) or some sort of rift on the coaching staff. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Madison clarified why he left. He explained that Chiefs HC Andy Reid encouraged him to go back home and coach the team he played for. - “It was something that he did not have to do,” Madison said. “Meaning, you look around the NFL and normally you’re under contract and guys reach out to him and try to get interviews and they’re denied because they’re under contract. But Coach Reid did call me and talk to me about the situation and was like, ‘Sam, this is something that is unprecedented. . .’ He understood and saw my work ethic when I was in Kansas City, but he was like, ‘Your family is there, you played there and played there at a high level.’ He just wanted to give me the opportunity to go home and be closer to family.” - Madison, a former draft pick by the Dolphins in the second round of the 1997 NFL draft, was still living in the Miami area when Steve Spagnuolo recruited him to his staff in 2019. He still has family, a house and calls the area home. Even though he still had a year remaining on his contract, Reid understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. - “It was my first time being in that situation, so I really didn’t know what to expect,” Madison said. “I didn’t know any of the rules or anything like that and I asked him, ‘Coach, can you please give me some information or some guidance on what I should be doing or what should be expected.’ Because my hiring process last time was totally different. He gave me a very good rundown of what to expect and he gave his graciousness to be able to have the opportunity to go out there and talk to the Dolphins.” - - List - - Here are the former Chiefs players who were selected in the USFL draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - -

Former Chiefs QBs Shea Patterson, Jordan Ta’amu headline USFL draft / The NFL offseason is officially underway and like clockwork, there is a new fledgling football league popping up. - The United States Football League (USFL) has been reincarnated into the latest spring football league, seeking to bridge the gap during the NFL’s offseason. The league initially ran from 1983 to 1986. This time around they’ll be looking to do better than past spring football leagues, such as the XFL and Alliance of American Football (AAF). - The newly established league held Day 1 of its draft on Tuesday night. The first round of the draft was solely dedicated to quarterbacks. The top overall pick went to the Michigan Panthers via lottery, and they selected one-time Chiefs QB Shea Patterson. - Patterson was a star at the University of Michigan, so this is a good move for a team that’s likely looking to sell some tickets and merchandise. Patterson signed with Kansas City as an undrafted free agent in 2020. He was signed following April’s draft, but his time with the team was short-lived. He didn’t even make it to training camp with the Chiefs after the team signed veteran Matt Moore to replace him on the offseason roster. - - First look at @SheaPatterson_1 in @USFLPanthers threads #LetsHunt pic.twitter.com/jNcxu1Efu2 - — USFL (@USFL) February 23, 2022 - - - With the second overall pick, the Tampa Bay Bandits selected another former Chiefs QB in Jordan Ta’amu. Ta’amu played collegiately at Ole Miss and was a start for XFL’s St. Louis Battlehawks. He also spent the 2020 offseason with the Chiefs, but he actually made it through training camp and spent time on the practice squad in Kansas City. They even had him simulate Ravens QB Lamar Jackson on the scout team. - Ta’amu will look to use his experience with the Chiefs and Battlehawks to excel in the USFL. - - WE'VE GOT OUR QB - With the second pick of the #USFLDraft, the Bandits select @JTaamu10! #BanditBall pic.twitter.com/CsCVuIlNBj - — Tampa Bay Bandits (@USFLBandits) February 23, 2022 - - - The two young quarterbacks have an opportunity to shine in the new league as it kicks off this Spring.

How much cap space do Chiefs have following Anthony Hitchens' release? / Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach has begun

How much cap space do Chiefs have following Anthony Hitchens' release? / Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach has begun his work to get the salary cap in order ahead of the start of the 2022 league year and his first cost-cutting move was an expected one. - The Chiefs released LB Anthony Hitchens, who was in the final year of a five-year contract worth $45 million. The move saved the team $8.4 million in salary-cap space while only costing them $4.2 million in dead money. - According to the latest projections from Over The Cap, the Chiefs are expected to have around $11.2 million in salary-cap space to start the 2022 NFL offseason. That’s actually less than the Chiefs were projected to have at the beginning of February, but remember the NFL still needed to audit postseason bonuses on rollover money and the team added several reserve/future contracts since. - The Chiefs still have a number of cost-cutting moves to make, including simple restructures to the contracts of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones. An extension of Tyreek Hill could help them push some money from 2022 out into the future. They also have a decision to make on Frank Clark, who could save the team anywhere from $12.7 million to $19.5 million depending on whether he’s released outright or designated a post-June 1 release. Basically, this is only the beginning for the front office when it comes to freeing up salary-cap space. - Kansas City will need to make some of those moves rather quickly, though.

They’ll also need to be under the salary cap by March 16th, when the new league year officially begins. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at cornerback - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Remembering the career of former Chiefs first-round pick RB Greg Hill / As the Kansas City Chiefs begin the thorough process of preparing for the upcoming NFL Draft, we take a look back at a former top pick. Former running back Greg Hill was Kansas City’s first-round selection in 1994 and was a key contributor during his tenure. - Hill, who turns 50 years old today, was drafted 25th overall out of Texas A&M. The accomplished collegiate star was brought in to split time and eventually replace the aging starter, Marcus Allen. Hill appeared in all 16 games in his rookie season, starting in one game while tallying up the third-most rushing yards among all AFC rookies. - Over the next few seasons, Hill and Allen would continue to split time at running back with roles eventually switching in 1997. Hill, however, didn’t have much success as the primary ball carrier finishing with only 550 yards on 3.5 yards per rush. During an early-season interview of that year, Hill expressed his desire to get more carries and help lead the team. - “This club knows me,” said Hill. “They know that I am the type of guy who thrives off of having the ball as much as I possibly can. I am the type of guy; when given the opportunity, I’m going to make the best of my opportunity. That’s why they promoted me. It’s not because Marcus is getting older . . . In games I have played in and have been given the opportunity, I have proven myself.” - The Chiefs finished the year with a 13-3 record winning the AFC West, but were upset by the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. Allen would go on to retire while Hill entered free agency, only playing two more seasons before ending his career as well. - Hill finished his four-year tenure with the Chiefs rushing for 2,436 and six touchdowns. He may not have been the long-term starter the Chiefs were hoping for, but he was a vital contributor to the team’s success in the mid-90s. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at cornerback - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly

Chiefs promote defensive assistant Donald D'Alesio to safeties coach / The Kansas City Chiefs have promoted a member of their coaching staff. - After former cornerbacks coach Sam Madison left to join the Miami Dolphins coaching staff, it was clear there would be a new coach in the secondary. You’d expect the hire to come at the same position, but that wasn’t the case. The Chiefs announced on Tuesday that they had promoted defensive assistant Donald D’Alesio to safeties coach. - 2021 marked D’Alesio’s first season in Kansas City after previously spending five seasons coaching at Youngstown State and the 2020 season as a defensive analyst at LSU. D’Alesio actually played safety at Youngstown State as a player from 2010 through 2014, so he’ll now be coaching the position he played. - To go from a defensive assistant job to a position coach in one season really tells you all you need to know about D’Alesio. He’s considered one of the brightest up-and-coming defensive coaches for the Chiefs. - - Coaching Staff Update: - We have promoted Donald D’Alesio to Safeties Coach. He previously served as a defensive assistant for the team. - — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) February 22, 2022 - - - This is an interesting route for Kansas City given the departure of Madison. While they didn’t announce any other changes in titles, this promotion would seem to suggest that defensive backs coach Dave Merritt will be taking a larger role in coaching the cornerbacks for the Chiefs. He already worked with nickel corners, but unless they make another hire, it seems he’ll also be working with outside corners as well. - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at cornerback - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Statements from Chiefs' Andy Reid, Brett Veach on release of Anthony Hitchens / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs made an expected offseason move on Tuesday, releasing LB Anthony Hitchens from his contract. - A four-year veteran, Hitchens accomplished a lot in Kansas City. The team made it to the AFC title game in each of his four seasons with the team, twice punching their ticket to the Super Bowl. He became a Super Bowl champion with the team in Super Bowl LIV, helping the team win a championship for the first time in 50 seasons. - Chiefs HC Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach issued statements along with the news of his release. - - - - “I really enjoyed the opportunity to coach Anthony over the last four years,” Reid said. “He’s as tough as they come in this league and is a team-first player. I appreciate the way he came to work, ready to do his part, but also his willingness to teach the younger guys around him.” - Hitchens ultimately helped groom his replacement this season in rookie LB Nick Bolton. The Mizzou product credited Hitchens for the help and guidance he provided to him from an early point in the 2021 NFL season. - Veach knew that Hitchens would be that type of player in Kansas City. His selflessness and leadership were two of the qualities that made him a target when the Chiefs first signed him back in 2018. - - - “When I first became General Manager, one of the first moves I wanted to make was to bring in Anthony Hitchens from Dallas,” Veach said. “We knew how intelligent, hard working and consistent he was as a player, and we knew he’d become a selfless leader. He was that and more. He has all the intangibles and was an integral piece in our franchise winning a Super Bowl title. We appreciate everything he’s done for the organization and wish him the best as he continues his career.” - - - List - - Looking at Chiefs' potential free agent options at safety - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! -

Will pending free agent OL Andrew Wylie be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - -

Will pending free agent OL Andrew Wylie be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs are out to improve their roster during the course of the 2022 NFL offseason, making additions on offense, defense and special teams. They’ll also look to retain some of their own players, with 24 slated for unrestricted free agency in a few short weeks. One player who was extremely valuable for Kansas City in 2021 was fifth-year offensive lineman Andrew Wylie. - An undrafted free agent out of Eastern Michigan in 2017, Wylie made stops with three NFL teams before finding his home with the Chiefs at the end of the 2017 NFL season. He’s since gone on to start games at left guard, right guard and most recently right tackle for Kansas City. - While Lucas Niang started nine games at right tackle for the Chiefs early in the season, Wylie filled in for him twice due to injuries, starting a total of 10 games if you include the playoffs. He replaced Niang in Week 9 and started the next four consecutive games for Kansas City. He’d fill in for Niang again in Week 16 due to COVID-19. Wylie would continue to play in place of Niang in Week 17 after the 2020 opt-out suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture. - Wylie’s performance this season was much-improved compared to his Super Bowl LV performance at the right tackle position. He faced some notable pass-rushers, like his former Eastern Michigan teammate Maxx Crosby, and limited their success on the right side of the line. According to Pro Football Focus, Wylie allowed just four sacks and 29 pressures on 527 snaps played at right tackle. He also finished the season with the fourth-highest run-block grade among Chiefs offensive linemen, including a better grade than Orlando Brown Jr. did at left tackle. - Wylie was the Chiefs’ top earner in performance-based pay in 2020 and he’ll likely be up there again in 2021. He was a restricted free agent last offseason and received an original round tender, earning $2.133M during the 2021 NFL season. This time around, he’s set to become an unrestricted free agent. - The free agent market isn’t flush with offensive line talent, but I tend to believe that Wylie’s best option will be to remain in Kansas City. Niang’s injury puts him out of the equation until mid-season at the earliest, which means Wylie could have the fast track to starting at right tackle again. Prince Tega Wanogho and Roderick Johnson are the only two players at the tackle position currently under contract besides Niang. - There’s little doubt that Wylie’s ability to plug in at three different positions makes him the team’s most valuable backup lineman. If the Chiefs don’t re-sign Wylie they’ll need to find a right tackle in free agency or the draft, and that might not be so easy. It also creates another hole for Brett Veach and the staff to

With the disappointing end to the 2021 NFL season, it’s a safe bet that both Mahomes and Buechele were anxious to get back to work. - The two Texas natives just so happen to be training together to kick off the offseason and this probably won’t be the last time they cross paths. Mahomes and Buechele’s trainer, Bobby Stroupe, posted a short teaser of the two players getting some work in at the Athlete Performance Enhancement Center (APEC) Dallas-Fort Worth facilities. - Check out the clip of the two players stretching down below: - - Couple @Chiefs QBs working. pic.twitter.com/iRM5L4qjMv - — Bobby Stroupe (@bobbystroupe) February 22, 2022 - - - Mahomes has been training with Stroupe and APEC since he was in grade school.

The same goes for Buechele, Mecole Hardman, Bobby Witt Jr. and all the other athletes who work with APEC and Stroupe. - This is a good opportunity for Buechele to work alongside Mahomes. The second-year quarterback out of SMU is expected to be the No. 2 quarterback in Kansas City next season with Chad Henne slated for free agency. Mahomes had high praise for Buechele and his work ethic after his promotion to the 53-man roster during the 2021 season.

Franchise tag likely for Chiefs' Orlando Brown Jr. as window opens / The NFL’s franchise tag and transition tag window

Franchise tag likely for Chiefs' Orlando Brown Jr. as window opens / The NFL’s franchise tag and transition tag window officially opens on Tuesday, Feb. 22 and closes on Tuesday, March 8. Unlike last season, the Kansas City Chiefs are likely to use the franchise tag this season. - The team didn’t use the franchise tag in 2021 and that marked the first time they hadn’t since 2018. In 2019, the Chiefs franchise tagged Dee Ford before trading him to the San Francisco 49ers. In 2020, the team had a clear-cut use for the franchise tag, using it on Chris Jones before eventually signing him to a long-term contract extension. This offseason, the team has a very clear use for the franchise tag yet again. - After trading to acquire LT Orlando Brown Jr. last April, the Chiefs are committed to him as their blindside protector. Even directly after the trade, there were reports that Kansas City was willing to use the franchise tag on Brown in 2022. That stance hasn’t changed after a year of him starting, if anything it strengthened the team’s thoughts. - Speaking to the media in the days following the loss in the AFC title game, Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke about the situation with Brown. He didn’t seem to have a good feel for whether the left tackle would play on the franchise tag or a long-term extension in 2022, but was hopeful for the latter. - “Those are always unknown. I think that when you have a player come in here and when he loves being here, and I think when the coaching staff and the personnel staff feel the same way, it’s always easier to get something done when players see a place like Kansas City as a long-term place for them to potentially start and finish their career. So, when you get a guy like that, the trade happens and I think everything he wanted from this experience in regard to playing left tackle, playing in Kansas City, playing with Pat Mahomes, I haven’t asked him this directly, but I would say it’s been exactly what he’s wanted. I think we’ve been looking for a tough, rugged, dependable left tackle protecting Pat Mahomes. So, I think when you have that scenario play out where the player loves the team and the team loves the player, I think things are always more likely to work out. That element will be something that we iron out. It’d be beneficial for us because it allows us to do more things. I think many good teams are in the same scenario. We’re okay. We’re not rolling into the offseason with a ton of cap space. We have some moves to make. The cap has grown. I know that there’s number thrown out there and people think that it’s a bigger number, but I think we were hoping for a little bit bigger. The big question is the growth from ’22 to ’23. That also plays a factor

Even Olympic legend Usain Bolt has tried to get in on the action. The latest to want the smoke from Hill is Seattle Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf. - TMZ Sports recently surprised Metcalf while touring the HQ for Nate Diaz’s “Represent” brand. He was first asked about Cowboys rookie LB Micah Parsons beating Hill in a race at the Pro Bowl. - “I mean (Micah Parsons) is pretty fast, but I thought Tyreek wasn’t trying that hard,” Metcalf said. “Who knows who is the faster person in the NFL.” - He was then asked whether he felt he could beat Hill in a race. - “Yeah. I can beat Tyreek in a race,” Metcalf said. - Word ultimately got back to Hill, who issued a challenge to both Metcalf and Bolt before ultimately issuing an open challenge. - - Usain after I warm up on DK I’m coming for you - — Ty Hill (@cheetah) February 21, 2022 - - - - I’m about to race everybody that call me out let’s go - — Ty Hill (@cheetah) February 21, 2022 - - - While Hill and Metcalf have never lined up before, NFL Next Gen Stats simulated a race between the two and New York Giants QB Daniel Jones back in 2020.

Chiefs CB Charvarius Ward named team's most improved player in 2021 / The Kansas City Chiefs invested a lot of development time in Charvarius Ward after trading for him ahead of the 2018 NFL season. - The undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State spent most of his rookie season as a healthy scratch until Andy Reid and the coaching staff got him involved late in the year. Ever since then, Ward has been a fixture for the Chiefs’ defense, starting 41 regular-season games over the past three seasons. - Pro Football Focus recently named the most improved players for all 32 NFL teams and Ward was their choice for Kansas City. Ward’s season-long PFF grade jumped 6.9 points in 2021 to 71.2 from a 64.3 grade in 2020. Here’s a look at what PFF’s Anthony Treash had to say about it: - “Ward was picked on more in 2021 than in any other season of his career — he was targeted on 17.9% of his coverage snaps, the 14th-highest rate among NFL corners. Despite that, Ward held his own and recorded a career-high PFF grade. He generated 0.37 PFF WAR, which ranked 16th among NFL corners and was over seventh-tenths more than his previous career-best.” - As the great Terez Paylor would say, the contract year is undefeated. Ward’s set to become a free agent for the first time in March and his future might not be in Kansas City. Because of that, Ward had every reason to put together his best season this year. - It really felt like Ward did a much better job this season using his size and length to defend the pass, also using the sideline to his advantage. It makes sense that he was targeted frequently because he was the play that Steve Spagnuolo often tasked with covering No. 1 receivers on the outside. The fact that he did such a good job locking down that level of competition speaks to how much he’s grown in his four NFL seasons. - Do you agree with PFF that Ward was the Chiefs’ most-improved player in 2021?

His foundation became one of the biggest supporters of the all-star game when it was announced back in March of 2021. Not only did Mahomes get a chance to meet with the players ahead of the game, but he also was a coin toss captain alongside Doug Williams and James “Shack” Harris. - During the opening quarter of the game, Mahomes spoke with NFL Network broadcasters, Steve Wyche and Charles Davis. They spoke about Mahomes’ inspiration for getting involved with the HBCU Legacy Bowl. - “Yeah, it was a no-brainer for me whenever I got the opportunity through my foundation to help sponsor this game,” Mahomes said. “I know a lot of players that have been at HBCUs and haven’t got the opportunity that I got coming out of college. So I wanted to make sure we shine a light on these guys. There are a bunch of these guys that can play in the league.” - While Mahomes never attended an HBCU himself, many players that he grew up with down in East Texas ended up at HBCUs. One of his old teammates from Texas Tech, who transferred to Texas Southern, was a big inspiration when Mahomes chose to support the game. - “I grew up in Tyler, Texas, which isn’t too far from a couple of the HBCUs down there in Louisiana,” Mahomes said. “For me, I have a buddy that I played with in college whose name is Jonathan Giles who is actually coming out now out of Texas Southern. I know the talent that he has. Just to have the opportunity like today to showcase that talent on a national stage. I think that will help a ton.” - Mahomes also recognized the importance of paying homage to those great players who came before him. HBCUs make up nearly a tenth of all NFL Hall of Famers. Now, he hopes this game will help provide a better opportunity for HBCU players to earn an opportunity to play in the NFL. - “Yeah, you want to make the NFL and this world a better place as you leave it,” Mahomes said. “To be able to show the guys the way — it doesn’t matter where you come from — once you’re in the NFL, you’re in the NFL and you can make the plays. There is so much history of HBCUs having great, Hall of Fame NFL players. I want them to have that belief every single day and I think this will be a

Contextualizing Chiefs LB Nick Bolton's impressive rookie season / Kansas City Chiefs rookie LB Nick Bolton turned some heads during the 2021 NFL season. - A second-round draft pick in the 2021 NFL draft, selected at No. 58 overall, Bolton is coming off of a dominant rookie campaign where he exceeded all expectations. He was awarded NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month honors for October off the back of an impressive three-game stretch, including a 15-tackle single-game performance against the Tennessee Titans. He was also recently named the team’s Mack Lee Hill Award Rookie of the Year winner, voted on by his coaches and teammates. - Bolton led the Chiefs’ defense with 112 tackles and 10 tackles for loss this season, breaking the franchise record for the most by a rookie in a single season. Bolton became only the ninth rookie to hit those marks in the past 21 NFL seasons. Indianapolis Colts LB Darius Leonard is the most recent player to have over 100 tackles and 10 tackles for loss as a rookie and he did so back in 2018. - - The only rookies with 100 tackles and 10 tackles for loss in a season since 2015 - Nick BoltonDarius Leonard pic.twitter.com/Waaf0dbSmp - — NFL on CBS (@NFLonCBS) February 17, 2022 - - - As a rookie, Leonard racked up 163 tackles and 12 tackles for loss. However, the big difference between Bolton and Leonard’s rookie campaigns is opportunity. Bolton started just 12 games for Kansas City compared to Leonard’s 16 games started. The former Missouri Tiger also played 332 fewer defensive snaps as a rookie than Leonard did as a rookie. Let’s say Bolton had started all 17 possible regular-season games this season. If he continued producing at the rate he did in his 12 starts, he would have finished the season with around 153 tackles and 14 tackles for loss. - Now, some people will look at this and point to Steve Spagnuolo in frustration. The truth is that Bolton had some growing to do throughout the 2021 NFL season. He finished out the regular season and postseason as strong as ever as a result. From Week 14 onward, Bolton received a 60 or higher grade from Pro Football Focus. His coverage grade improved significantly during that span, only once dipping below 50. - Chiefs fans should be excited to know that Bolton will almost certainly get more playing time in Kansas City in 2022. If he can keep up the momentum that he established late in the season and in the postseason, he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. He’s likely to put up even bigger numbers than he did as a rookie. - - List - - 5 former Chiefs ranked among greatest HBCU players in NFL history - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Chiefs replace key free agent in Touchdown Wire's post-Super Bowl mock draft / The Kansas City Chiefs have 24 unrestricted free agents this offseason and several of those free agents play in the defensive secondary. - The latest 2022 NFL mock draft from our friend Mark Schofield at Touchdown Wire seeks to help offset some potential losses at the safety position. Not only is Tyrann Mathieu set to become a free agent in March, but depth players like Daniel Sorensen and Armani Watts are also pending free agents too. With that in mind, this mock draft sought to replace some of that production lost by adding a dynamic safety prospect in Penn State’s Jaquan Brisker at pick No. 30. - Here is what Schofield had to say about his Round 1 pick: - “The Kansas City Chiefs enter the offseason with some questions regarding the final level of their defense. Tyrann Mathieu is set to hit free agency, as is Daniel Sorensen. There is a chance that the organization will need to replace two players at the back of their secondary. Jaquan Brisker is a versatile safety who can be used by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo in a number of different roles. During his time at Penn State, Brisker saw action as a traditional free safety, but also was used in some sub packages on the second level and even saw time in the slot. Depending on how the Chiefs handle Mathieu and Sorensen in free agency, Brisker might be an ideal candidate for their defense in 2022.” - Brisker is listed at 6-1 and 200 pounds and is coming off a solid senior campaign with the Nittany Lions. He recorded 63 total tackles, six tackles for loss, a fumble recovery, five passes defended and two interceptions in 2021 across 12 games played. - The Chiefs often use defensive sub-packages with three safeties on the field and are particularly fond of the big nickel package. Each of Juan Thornhill, Mathieu and Sorensen played over 62% of the team’s defensive snaps last season with Mathieu playing the most of any player. Ensuring that they have adequate players in the fold to replace that production could be a key challenge for Brett Veach this offseason. - I like Brisker and think he could be a fit in Kansas City, but I can’t help but think there is better value to be had in the first round of the draft. Florida State DE Jermaine Johnson, for instance, hasn’t yet come off the board when the Chiefs picked in this particular mock draft. I have a hard time believing that Kansas City would pass on help in the trenches for Brisker when this safety class is fairly deep. - - List - - Breaking down Chiefs' picks in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Will pending free agent TE Blake Bell be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs will look to improve their roster during the course of the 2022 NFL offseason on offense, defense and special teams. One player who has contributed plenty on offense and special teams this season is TE Blake Bell, who re-signed with the team on a one-year deal in 2021. - The past season marked Bell’s second stint in Kansas City, after becoming a champion with the team during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2019. Bell left as a free agent in 2020 to join the Dallas Cowboys for one season and the difference in the tight end room was palpable. It was one of the reasons why bringing him back in 2021 was such a no-brainer for the team. - There was also the family history — with his uncle, Mike Bell, playing 13 seasons and starting 100 games for the franchise. Then there was the value that he brings to the table as a teammate, blocker, pass-catcher, special teamer and wildcat quarterback. He also loves being coached by Tom Melvin and working alongside Travis Kelce. - It was a win-win situation to bring Bell back in 2021, but will that play out the same way this season or will it be more like 2020? As things currently stand, it’s hard not to say things appear more like the 2020 offseason where Bell left to play in Dallas. The Chiefs have a lot of depth at the tight end position right now with a total of seven tight ends under contract (pay attention to the guaranteed money). - When the team moved on from Bell in 2020, the team had some guys they wanted to get a closer look at like Deon Yelder and Nick Keizer. Now, the team has a very clear duo of Kelce and Noah Gray who will be rostered. They could have five or more players battling it out for potentially a single roster spot in 2022. - That doesn’t include Jody Fortson, who is an exclusive rights free agent, but also coming off an Achilles injury. He’s likely the fan-favorite for that No. 3 tight end spot. That also doesn’t even include any potential additions in the 2022 NFL draft or undrafted free agency — in what is a loaded draft class at the position. It is possible they roster four tight ends (which they did at one point in 2021) if they have the horses to do so, but that remains to be seen. - It just feels like the Chiefs are preparing to oncIe again move on from Bell. Circumstances could ultimately change this offseason with injuries, but fans should prepare themselves for the possibility that Bell will not return. - - - - List - - Breaking down Chiefs' picks in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - -

Chiefs had pre-draft meeting with Miami WR Mike Harley Jr. at Hula Bowl / Pre-draft meeting season continues with the Kansas City Chiefs having a sitdown with another interesting receiver prospect. - According to the Draft Network’s Justin Melo, Kansas City is one of the 25-plus teams that met with Miami WR Mike Harley Jr. at the Hula Bowl. Harley Jr. told Melo that he had what he felt were productive and longer meetings with the Chiefs, Denver Broncos, New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings. - Harley appeared in 50 games over the past five seasons at the University of Miami, breaking the franchise record for career receptions with 182 catches. That record stood for 20 years and was previously set by former Indianapolis Colts star Reggie Wayne. In the past three seasons, Harley Jr. really became a key cog in the Miami offense, with over 2,000 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in that span. He did so with less than ideal quarterback play too. - - #Miami WR Mike Harley Jr. enters the 2022 #NFLDraft as the program's all-time receprions leader, an astounding accomplishment. He was excellent at the @Hula_Bowl where he met w/ 25+ teams & had especially productive & long meetings with the #Saints, #Broncos, #Chiefs and #Vikings - — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) February 16, 2022 - - - Listed at 5-10 and 173 pounds, Harley is a bit undersized. However, what he lacks in size he makes up for in route-running, suddenness, ball-tracking ability and hands. A former track athlete, Harley has the speed to create separation at the next level. He excels on deep overs, whip routes and corner fades. Coaches at Miami rave about his leadership and how he has grown since his freshman season. - In the NFL, Harley Jr. has the makings of a slot receiver and multi-phase special teamer. He wasn’t invited to the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, so he’ll have to make his next impression at Miami’s pro day. Currently, he’s expected to be a Day 3 pick or priority undrafted free agent. - As always, teams tend to meet with the majority of players, especially at all-star games. These meetings don’t typically denote any level of interest, but they are instead part of the fact-gathering process that helps the team build its draft board. - - List - - How much Chiefs are spending on each position so far in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error

Chiefs CBs coach Sam Madison leaving to join Dolphins coaching staff / The Kansas City Chiefs have a new coaching

Chiefs CBs coach Sam Madison leaving to join Dolphins coaching staff / The Kansas City Chiefs have a new coaching vacancy on the defensive side of the ball. - According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Miami Dolphins are hiring Kansas City Chiefs CBs coach Sam Madison as their CBs coach and pass game specialist. Madison was originally drafted by the Dolphins in 1997 and spent eight seasons with the team, earning four Pro Bowl selections at the position. He’ll now get a chance to coach for his former team and return to his home in Davie, Florida. - Madison also played with Steve Spagnuolo as a member of the Giants during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. He was a part of the Giants Super Bowl XLII team, winning a ring both as a player and as a coach with the Chiefs in 2019. - - Miami is hiring former Dolphins’ legend Sam Madison as its cornerbacks/pass game specialist, per source. Madison — a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Dolphins from 1997-‘05 — spent the past three seasons coaching the Chiefs secondary/cornerbacks. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 17, 2022 - - - The 2019 NFL season was actually Madison’s first as an NFL coach. He’s served as cornerbacks and defensive backs coach in Kansas City for the past three seasons and he’s been able to do a lot without a lot of investment in the position. This will be the second hit to Spagnuolo’s staff this offseason with LBs coach Matt House leaving to become defensive coordinator for the LSU Tigers. While Kansas City still has defensive backs coach Dave Merritt on the team, they’ll likely look to promote from within or hire a dedicated CBs coach to supplement the work that Merritt already does for the Chiefs. - - List - - How much Chiefs are spending on each position so far in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Seahawks sign former Chiefs draft pick Darwin Thompson to reserve/future deal / Former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick Darwin Thompson

Seahawks sign former Chiefs draft pick Darwin Thompson to reserve/future deal / Former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick Darwin Thompson has landed a reserve/future contract with the Seattle Seahawks per the team’s public relations Twitter account. - The Chiefs selected Thompson of Utah State in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft. He appeared in 26 career games with Kansas City over the course of two seasons, recording 80 touches for 333 yards and three scores during that span. - Thompson was waived at the onset of the 2021 NFL season during 53-man roster cuts. Instead of re-signing with the Chiefs’ practice squad, Thompson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. He spent the entire 2021 NFL season in Tampa Bay, but he made his return to Kansas City during the 2021 postseason when the team was dealing with injuries to Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams. - When Thompson was elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of the wild-card game against the Steelers he was made inactive. Williams tried to gut through his injury and play, but he only ended up playing a few snaps during the game. - When the Chiefs lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game, Thompson’s practice squad contract expired. He sought out another opportunity instead of signing a reserve/future deal with Kansas City, similar to what happened after he was waived in 53-man roster cuts. It’s clear he’s looking for a situation where he could perhaps be a long-term fixture. In Seattle, he’ll have a chance to compete for that opportunity. - - List - - How much Chiefs are spending on each position so far in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire reflects on 2021 NFL season in Instagram post / Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire shared a post reflecting on the highs and lows of his 2021 NFL season. - The second-year RB started in 10 regular-season games after dealing with an early-season MCL sprain and a late-season shoulder injury. It was hardly the season that fans were hoping to see from Edwards-Helaire after his rookie campaign. He recorded just 119 carries for 517 yards and four rushing touchdowns along with 19 receptions for 129 yards and two scores in 2021, playing less than 30% of the team’s total offensive snaps. - On Wednesday morning, Edwards-Helaire took to social media to reflect on his second year in Kansas City. - “Somethings are hard to do. - From a stomach surgery in the last off-season, to multiple injuries during this season. I hated every second I couldn’t be on the field with my dawgs! - Through it all! Countless lessons learned, knowledge gained beyond me , put me in a head space where I felt I needed to be. - With all the knowledge in the world, it doesn’t take a genius to know there are no do overs.. - We know what we all want in life ..

Will pending free agent CB Mike Hughes be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - -

Will pending free agent CB Mike Hughes be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs will look to improve their roster during the 2022 NFL offseason and one area that is expected to see some turnover is the defensive secondary. Three cornerbacks who played at least 200 defensive snaps for the Chiefs in 2021 are pending free agents for the upcoming season. One of those cornerbacks was a May trade acquisition by Kansas City. - The Chiefs acquired Mike Hughes (and a seventh-round pick) from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He was a player that had been on the team’s radar dating back to the 2018 NFL draft when he was just a prospect at UCF. They attended the UCF pro day and brought him in for a top-30 visit. - Hughes was admittedly a bit of a reclamation project when the team acquired him. Injuries had stunted his development with a torn ACL hampering his 2019 season and a neck injury causing him to play just four games in 2020. The Chiefs got a chance to see what Hughes was capable of in 2021, but he wasn’t consistent throughout the course of the season - Hughes appeared in 17 games with five starts for Kansas City, playing over 500 defensive snaps (the 14th most of any Chiefs defender this season). He started off Week 1 with a bang, securing the game-winning interception over the Cleveland Browns. Hughes would continue playing a rotational role on defense until he earned his first start in Week 4. - Beginning in Week 7, Hughes’ role began to shift in Kansas City. The cornerback group was healthier than it had been and Hughes took a back seat on defense. He was challenged facing some bigger wide receivers at times. By December, his role began to shift toward special teams, replacing Mecole Hardman as the team’s starting punt returner. That didn’t last for long, though. - Hughes started four consecutive games on defense beginning in Week 13. In Week 14, he stepped in for CB L’Jarius Sneed and had the game of his life against the Las Vegas Raiders. He recovered a fumble for a 23-yard touchdown and forced two fumbles of his own in addition to leading the team with nine tackles. The performance earned him AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. - There’s certainly an argument to be made that Hughes should be back with the Chiefs in 2022. He had one of his best years as a professional, even if advanced analytics didn’t favor him. There are at least two games that you can point to (Week 1 and Week 14) where Hughes had a direct impact on the outcome of the game. - If the Chiefs are forced to choose between Hughes and Charvarius Ward, for instance, the choice is clear. If Ward is out of the picture and Hughes is willing to return on an affordable contract,

God has asked him to be careful flailing those big arms of his." @KCTV5 pic.twitter.com/8wvRnk6Zy7 - — Jared Koller (@JaredKCTV5) February 15, 2022 - - - Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid had a chance to memorialize the late John Madden on Monday evening. - Reid was one of eight speakers at Madden’s celebration of life at the Oakland Coliseum, where he delivered an emotional speech on his good friend. He spoke on the lessons he learned from Madden, the privilege it was to work alongside him to better the league and told some funny stories about him and the great coach and broadcaster. Those stories included their love of ‘Diners Drive-Ins and Dives’ and a story about Brett Favre playing a prank on Madden. - Reid kicked things off by taking a knock at a crowd mostly comprised of Raiders Nation. - “I glad I’m not at spitting distance,” Reid said with a crowd full of Raiders fans. “It’s good to be in the black hole.” - Then, Reid continued to deliver his speech. You can watch a few select clips shared by KCTV5’s Jared Koller at the top of the page, or you can read the speech in its entirety down below: - “Listen, I first met coach (John) Madden about 30-plus years ago my first year in Green Bay. He took me in like one of his own. He said, ‘You played offensive line?’ I said, ‘I did.’ He said, ‘You’re in.’ I was in the club, officially. Coach taught me to appreciate every day, every game, every play of every game. He taught me not to back off (from) what I knew would be the best for the National Football League. He taught me that coaches weren’t the hamburger flippers of the National Football League — that we had a voice and if properly presented people would listen — Roger Goodell and the owners. Commissioner Goodell asked Coach (Madden) to put together a committee of present-day coaches that could review the rules and regulations of the National Football League. I got a call from Coach Madden to be on that committee and I was proud of it as were the other coaches who were also on the committee. I got to work hand in hand with a great coach, John Madden, and it was an honor. His relentless trust in his own common sense, suggestions to change the game for its betterment, probably drove commissioner Goodell crazy. But it was awesome to watch his beautiful mind formulate each want. - He taught me to never lose my childish love for life. I remember a time we played the 49ers and Coach (Madden) met with me down in San Francisco.

Will pending free agent DE Melvin Ingram be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs will

Will pending free agent DE Melvin Ingram be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs will look re-tool their roster during the 2022 offseason and one of the big focuses will be improving the defensive line. If anything, Super Bowl LVI showed that having a dominant defensive line makes all the difference in the world. The only thing the Chiefs dominated in terms of defensive line play last season was spending, with over $45 million committed on the defensive line. They finished just 29th in sacks (31), but sixth in the NFL in pressures (178) per Pro Football Reference. - After poor play early on in the 2021 NFL season, the Chiefs sought to improve their pass-rush with a midseason trade acquisition at the deadline. The team sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for DE Melvin Ingram, who the team had shown interest in during free agency. They even had brought him in for a visit before he ultimately ended up signing with the Steelers. - Ingram did exactly what the Chiefs had hoped he would. He improved the pass rush significantly, contributing 33 pressures and four sacks over the span of nine regular-season games and three postseason games. Most importantly, his presence allowed the team to move Chris Jones back to the defensive interior where he thrives. Ingram also brought a lot to the rest of the defense as a leader and a teammate. Travis Kelce described him as a “juice man” and that really felt like the perfect description. - Speaking on the subject of Ingram’s return during his end-of-season media availability, Chiefs GM Brett Veach said he expects the veteran pass-rusher will take his time choosing who he signs with this offseason. He didn’t rule out a possibility of a return, citing an open dialogue, but it sounds like the decision will be in the hands of Ingram. The team clearly views him as someone who contributed to the success they had on defense in the latter half of the 2021 season. - As for Ingram, ahead of the divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills, he said that he had the desire to stay in Kansas City and that he came to the Chiefs to try and win a Super Bowl. They fell short of that goal this season, but they should be right back in the mix in 2022. Ingram’s goals haven’t seemed to have changed after watching the Los Angeles Rams win in Super Bowl LVI. - - I need that feeling!!!!! - — KINGMEL (@MelvinIngram) February 14, 2022 - - - Could that impact his decision to return?

Chiefs, Bills open with best odds to win Super Bowl LVII / The quest for Super Bowl LVII is officially on with the Los Angeles Rams’ 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. - Our friends at Tipico Sportsbook have released their early odds for the winner of Super Bowl 57. Surprisingly, neither team that played on Sunday are the odds on favorite to win next year’s big game. Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills are tied for favorites at +650 (bet $100 to win $650). They’re followed by the two teams that played in Sunday’s game, the Rams (+1200) and the Bengals (+1300). - Check out the entire top 10 down below: - - Never too early to think about #SuperBowl 2022/23… Let's Make This Interesting pic.twitter.com/yzo2rPxoNl - — Tipico Sportsbook (@tipico) February 14, 2022 - - - It’s a little surprising to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers ranked so highly given the uncertainty surrounding their quarterback situations. All three teams could be starting new quarterbacks next season. - Kansas City and Buffalo were both in the postseason race for Super Bowl LVI, with the Chiefs defeating the Bills in a thrilling overtime victory. That game seems to be holding some weight on these odds for those teams. - The Chiefs are no strangers to being considered Super Bowl favorites lately. They were the odds on favorites for Super Bowl LIV, LV and LVI. Obviously, they came up short this year and did so after back-to-back years of making the Super Bowl, but they’ll only come back hungrier next season. - - List - - Who are analysts selecting for Chiefs at pick No. 30? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Eric Bieniemy's future with Chiefs 'uncertain' / The Kansas City Chiefs could soon be on the hunt for a new offensive coordinator. - After striking out in the head-coaching carousel again, speculation abounds that Eric Bieniemy might seek opportunities elsewhere to further his coaching career. According to a new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Bieniemy’s future with the team is currently “uncertain.” He says that Bieniemy and Andy Reid will soon meet to discuss said future and that a lot of options are currently on the table. - Bieniemy’s contract with the Chiefs is expiring and needs to be extended if the team is to retain his services for the 2022 NFL season. According to Schefter, Bieniemy coming back to Kansas City isn’t absolute certainty. He has considered coaching in college, seeking opportunities with other NFL teams, or even taking a year off per the report. After a disappointing second-half offensive performance in the AFC championship game, it’s possible that both sides mutually agree to go in different directions. - Should that be the case, it’d be less than ideal as the Chiefs already lost QB coach Mike Kafka to the New York Giants. Kafka was presumed to be a successor to Bieniemy if he were to land a head-coaching job, but that never came to fruition. - Bieniemy, 52, has been a member of the coaching staff in Kansas City since 2013 when Reid first became head coach. He spent five seasons as running backs coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 2018. In each of his four seasons as offensive coordinator, the team has finished the season no worse than sixth place in total offense with two first-place finishes. - - List - - AFC West Weekly: Broncos' QB aspirations, Raiders' free agent options - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs had pre-draft meeting with Virginia S Joey Blount at Hula Bowl / We’re continuing to hear about some more pre-draft meetings that the Kansas City Chiefs have held with prospects. - The latest meeting we’ve learned of was between the Chiefs and a versatile defensive back at the Hula Bowl. According to the Draft Network’s Justin Melo, Kansas City is one of the nine-plus teams that met with Virginia S Joey Blount. He also met with the Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens. - Blount appeared in 54 games over the past 4.5 seasons at UVA, recording 306 total tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 3 forces fumbles, and 9 interceptions during that span. An injury-plagued 2020 season led to a fifth and final season of eligibility in 2021, which he took full advantage of. He tied for the team lead in interceptions (3) and had the second-most tackles on the team. - - #Virginia S Joey Blount met w/ the #Cardinals, #Bears, #Jaguars, #Lions, #Chargers, #Chiefs, #Eagles, #Raiders, #Cowboys and #Ravens, among others at the @Hula_Bowl. Blount made the game-sealing interception in the Hula Bowl. - — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) February 11, 2022 - - - Weighing in at 6-foot and 192 pounds, Blount offers a great deal of versatility. He has the range to play deep safety on the back end, but he also does a good job closer to the line of scrimmage. He’s good with his run fills and blitzes, but also can drive on the football when he’s tasked with coverage assignments. - The Chiefs have an obvious need at the safety position this offseason with just three players under contract in 2022. Only one of those players has played any meaningful NFL snaps. That player, Juan Thornhill, also happens to have played with Blount at UVA in 2017 and 2018. - Typically, I’d caution against reading too much into pre-draft meetings. Teams meet with as many players as possible in the pre-draft process to gather facts and assemble their draft board. That said, this is exactly the type of player that Kansas City should be targeting in the middle-to-late rounds of the draft. - - List - - Chiefs rebuild defense in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Chiefs sign TE Josh Pederson on reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs have signed another tight end to a reserve/future contract after having him in for a workout a week ago. - According to the NFL’s official personnel notice for Friday, the Chiefs have signed TE Josh Pederson on a reserve/future deal. This is a notable signing because Josh is the son of former Chiefs assistant coach and new Jaguars HC Doug Pederson. - - - A First-Team All-Sun Belt tight end at Louisiana Monroe, Josh appeared in 44 games with 33 starts during his 5-year career, recording 99 catches for 1,191 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite his productive collegiate career, the 6-5 and 235-pound tight end went undrafted following the 2021 NFL draft. He caught on with the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent during the offseason, but he was released during 53-man roster cuts. He signed with the New Orleans Saints shortly after his departure from San Francisco, but he didn’t last too long on their roster. - The Chiefs have already signed four tight ends to reserve/future contracts ahead of the 2022 offseason. That group includes Nakia Griffin-Stewart, Mark Vital, Matt Bushman and Jordan Franks. They have two players at the position — Blake Bell (unrestricted) and Jody Fortson (exclusive rights) — slated to become free agents in March. - Pederson should have the opportunity to compete this offseason, but the Chiefs are clearly looking to make it a competition with all of the depth they’ve added so far. - - - - - List - - Former Chiefs players congratulate Dick Vermeil on Hall of Fame selection - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

The Chiefs have had a number of items displayed in the gallery lately, with Andy Reid’s face shield and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif’s lab coat going on display during the COVID-19 pandemic last year. - Now, Kelce’s gloves and a game ball are going to help tell the story of the team’s divisional-round win over the Bills. - - To highlight one of the greatest games ever played, a game ball and @tkelce's game-worn gloves from the #BUFvsKC Divisional Round Playoff Game on 1/23/22 are now on display in our Pro Football Today Gallery. - : https://t.co/rwO52kofDF@Chiefs | #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/mqvNTllZLc - — Pro Football Hall of Fame (@ProFootballHOF) February 10, 2022 - - - Here is what the Hall of Fame had to say about the items displayed and the game in their release: - “The contest was the first playoff game in NFL history with three go-ahead touchdowns scored in the final two minutes of regulation. Following the two-minute warning, there were 31 combined points, 296 yards of total offense and five plays of 25 or more yards. The game also marked the first time in league history that opposing quarterbacks each passed for 300 or more yards, three or more touchdowns and rushed for 50 or more yards without throwing an interception. - Travis Kelce clinched the victory for Kansas City on a game-winning, 8-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes in overtime. - To highlight one of the greatest games ever played, a game ball and Kelce’s game-worn gloves are on display in the Hall’s Pro Football Today Gallery.” - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: CB Dicaprio Bootle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - -

Chiefs' Clark Hunt's statement on Dick Vermeil being elected to Hall of Fame / The Kansas City Chiefs added a legendary coach to their Pro Football Hall of Fame roster when Dick Vermeil was elected to the hall on Thursday. - Though the only Super Bowl win of his career came across the state in St. Louis as a member of the Rams, Chiefs fans will always remember Vermeil fondly as a fixture of their mid-2000s squads that featured Priest Holmes, Tony Gonzales, and Trent Green. - Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt remarked on Vermeil’s election to the Hall on Thursday, noting how proud he is that the coach exemplifies the Chiefs’ core values even in retirement. Though Kansas City was just a stop on the road for the long-time skipper, Hunt made it clear that he left a lasting impression on his franchise in the time he spent in the Paris of the Plains. - “On behalf of my family and the entire Chiefs organization, I would like to congratulate Dick Vermeil on being selected for the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” Hunt said in a statement issued after Vermeil’s selection. “Coach Vermeil led the Chiefs for five seasons on the final stop of his Hall of Fame career. His knowledge, humility, and passion for the game of football reflects the values of our franchise, and Chiefs Kingdom is proud to call him one of our own. We are excited for Dick and Carol and their family, and we look forward to his formal induction in Canton later this year.” - As the ninth head coach in Chiefs history, Vermeil led the team to a 44-36 record over his five-year tenure in Kansas City, which ended in 2005 when he retired after a 10-6 effort. The Chiefs’ recent success is relatively unprecedented and belies the effort and passion poured into the franchise in the early to mid-aughts when Vermeil was steering the ship. - Though it took a series of years for Kansas City to finally secure a championship following Vermeil’s retirement, his grit and commitment to the game of football has marked the Chiefs legacy in an intangible way that endures as a key part of their identity. - - List - - Chiefs 2021 rookie season review: CB Dicaprio Bootle - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - -

For the most part, Key was entertaining, but one of his jokes won’t sit well with Kansas City Chiefs fans. - The joke involved taking a shot at both Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s fashion sense and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ performance in the second half of the AFC championship game. He went through and made fun of some outfits that NFL players wore to the awards show, but also put up a picture of Burrow’s pregame fit from the AFC championship game. Key began by roasting Burrow for his wardrobe choice. - “Have you guys seen what Joe Burrow wore at the AFC championship?” Key said of Burrow’s outfit. “You see this? Like just a ‘Shaft’ wannabe over here. I mean, c’mon, now that is a look, that is a look right there. I mean I love this. That’s that drip right there. This is straight from the Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson puberty catalog.” - This is when the subject of Key’s joke abruptly changed and Mahomes became the target. - “I’ve got to tell you, I dig it,” Key continued. “I dig it. I mean, this outfit, this outfit is so mind-blowing (that) Patrick Mahomes saw a picture of this outfit at halftime and forgot how to play football.” - Chiefs TE Travis Kelce wasn’t having any of it, nor was his girlfriend Kayla Nicole. Kelce is both a fashionable guy and a good teammate, so that one just didn’t sit right with him. - - “Forgive me, Travis,” Key pleaded as he noticed Kelce’s reaction. “Travis is like, ‘Oh man, you were my friend.'” - It’s safe to say that Key won’t be getting a Christmas card from Mahomes and Kelce this year. - - List - - NFL releases full list of players invited to 2022 NFL Scouting Combine - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each

Former Chiefs HC Dick Vermeil selected to Pro Football Hall of Fame's 2022 class / After being named a coaching finalist earlier this year, former Kansas City Chiefs HC Dick Vermeil has been selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He’ll join seven others as a part of the 2022 class, including Tony Boselli, Bryant Young, Richard Seymour, Sam Mills, LeRoy Butler, Cliff Branch and Art McNally. - Vermeil joined the Chiefs as head coach in 2001, just a season after leading the St. Louis Rams to a Super Bowl victory with the “Greatest Show on Turf.” He’d go on to coach in Kansas City for his final five seasons in the NFL, mentoring some of the most explosive offensive players in franchise history, including RB Priest Holmes, TE Tony Gonzalez, WR Dante Hall, LT Willie Roaf, RG Will Shields and more. - While Vermeil was unable to repeat his Super Bowl successes with the Chiefs, he won over plenty of hearts in Kansas City. An entire generation of Chiefs fans grew up watching his teams compete and win games. He coached the team to a 44-36 regular-season spanning 80 games with the team. Unfortunately, that success only once resulted in a playoff berth. In 2003, Vermeil’s Chiefs team went 13-3 in the regular season, winning the AFC West division. They faced the Indianapolis Colts in the divisional round of the playoffs and would lose the game 38-31. - Vermeil has now become the third former Chiefs head coach to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, joining Marv Levy and Hank Stram. There will almost certainly be other head coaches of the franchise to join them all in the future. - - List - - Chiefs rebuild defense in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

The AFC West foe found himself wondering what Chiefs HC Andy Reid was like to play for. - “What’s Andy Reid like,” Crosby asked, “Is he chill?” - Mahomes offered up a hilarious description of what it’s like to play for Reid. - “He’s super cool,” Mahomes said. “I mean, yeah. It’s almost like your uncle, you know what I mean? He’s like cool, cool, cool, but you like — don’t disappoint him because he’ll get mad at you. But he’s going to give you your freedom to do what you want to do.” - So Reid is the cool uncle as a head coach, I wonder what that makes the rest of the members of the coaching staff? Crosby seemed to understand exactly the type of coach that Reid is. - “You just can’t take advantage,” Crosby said. - “Yeah, exactly,” Mahomes responded. - Afterward, the two spoke about Tennessee Titans HC Mike Vrabel, who coached the AFC at the Pro Bowl. - “I bet (Mike) Vrabel would be an awesome coach,” Mahomes explained. - “Oh yeah, oh yeah,” Crosby agreed. - “He’s like, he was a player so he understands,” Mahomes continued. “But he’s going to make sure you get your shit done.” - Astute assessments on Mahomes’ part for both Reid and Vrabel. - - List - - Chiefs rebuild defense in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Mecole Hardman reflects on 2021, talks Chiefs' future on ESPN's 'First Take' / Kansas City Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman made an appearance on ESPN’s “First Take” on Thursday. He had an opportunity to reflect on some things that happened to the Chiefs’ offense during the 2022 NFL season, share an outlook for the future and talk about the upcoming Super Bowl LVI matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. - Stephen A. Smith was pretty blunt with his first line of questioning: “What the hell happened in the AFC championship game?” - Hardman feels that the offense should carry the blame for the loss to the Bengals in the AFC title game. - “Listen, we started off great,” Hardman responded. “The first half was cool. Then, in the second half, we just didn’t score. (We) put out defense in bad situations and you know that high-powered offense in Cincinnati, you can’t stop them forever. So, I think it was just on (offense) we had to score in the second half and we didn’t.” - Smith continued to ask about the offense. He wondered why the team didn’t look as explosive at times in 2021 as they had in years past. Hardman felt a lot of it had to do with the way that defenses have adjusted when playing against Kansas City. - “I think it comes with defenses changing their schemes up,” Hardman said. “Just giving different looks, figuring things out that they give us problems. I think Tampa Bay kind of started that last year in the Super Bowl with the kind of defense that they played. I think it was like the adjustment factor of like trying to figure out the different looks and all the different things that defenses were throwing at us. There were times when we just couldn’t get anything going, but when we started figuring things out that’s when we started rolling. As you know, we were on an eight-game winning streak. That’s when things started rolling in once we started figuring everything out.” - Molly Qerim asked Hardman about the future and what the Chiefs need to do to get themselves back on the right track in 2022. - “First, we’ve got to figure out the team, make sure we get the right pieces back,” Hardman said. “We’ve got a couple of guys we need to sign, a couple of guys we need to extend and everything. After that we get all the pieces together, just get to training camp and get right. It shouldn’t be too hard. We know how to do what we’ve got to do and just take it one game at a time.” - As for the upcoming matchup in Super Bowl LVI, Hardman was a bit conflicted. On one hand, he wants to root for the AFC conference, but on the other hand, his UGA ties make it hard to root against Rams QB Matthew Stafford. In the end, he relied on an old football adage

New stat: Where did Chiefs CBs rank in ANYA/CS in 2021? / Our friends at Cowboys Wire recently sought to develop a new statistic to more accurately grade cornerback play. - Second-year Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs was sensational in 2021, leading the league in interceptions by a good margin. Yet, Diggs was graded poorly by Pro Football Focus. Cowboys Wire’s K.D. Drummond seemed to feel that PFF’s grading didn’t accurately reflect how well Diggs had played this season. Basically, corners were being graded negatively for passing yards allowed and touchdowns allowed, as they should be, but they weren’t being graded positively for interceptions made as well as the result of those interceptions. - Using Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt (ANY/A) as a starting point, K.D. Drummond came up with Adjusted Net Yards Allowed per Coverage Snap (ANYA/CS). The formula to calculate it is as follows: - Adjusted net passing yards allowed per target = ((Passing Yards Allowed-Return Yardage) + (Passing TDs Allowed – Return TDs)*20 – (INTs)*45)) / (Coverage Snaps). - Drummond compiled stats from Pro Football Focus and Pro Football Reference in order to calculate ANYA/CS. Kansas City had four players among the 78 qualifying cornerbacks (min. 10 games played and 400 coverage snaps). Here’s a look at where they ranked: - - - - Rank - Player - Age - Targets per game - Coverage snaps - Interceptions - Targets - Yards allowed - TDs allowed - Return Yards - Return TDs - ANYA/CS - - - 25 - Rashad Fenton - 24 - 3.9 - 422 - 0 - 54 - 322 - 0 - 0 - 0 - 0.76 - - - 33 - L’Jarius Sneed - 24 - 5.3 - 661 - 2 - 80 - 585 - 3 - 2 - 0 - 0.84 - - - 36 - Charvarius Ward - 25 - 5.8 - 584 - 2 - 76 - 511 - 4 - 0 - 0 - 0.86 - - - 58 - Mike Hughes - 24 - 3.6 - 427 - 1 - 61 - 424 - 5 - 0 - 0 - 1.12 - - - - So what should Chiefs fans take away from this? - If ANYA/CS is a more accurate reflection of cornerback play, the two best corners in Kansas City are still under contract and will be back in 2022. While the team did have four qualifying cornerbacks, only one ranked among the top 25 in the league. That shouldn’t be terribly surprising given the lack of investment they’ve made in the position during Brett Veach’s tenure as general manager — something he has said is more of a fluke than how the team values cornerback play. - Bottom line: There is room for improvement when it comes to the cornerback group for the Chiefs. Some of that improvement will come when they get better on the defensive line. It’s also possible

Will pending free agent RB Jerick McKinnon be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs head

Will pending free agent RB Jerick McKinnon be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / The Kansas City Chiefs head into the offseason looking to re-tool their roster for the 2022 NFL season. The goal is to get the team to Super Bowl LVII after falling short of that goal in 2021 and they’ll be looking to improve the roster in a number of different areas. They’ll also be looking to retain some talent that impressed during the 2021 NFL season. - After drafting Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, Chiefs GM Brett Veach didn’t invest much in the running back position for the 2021 NFL season. In fact, he actually weakened the position group by cutting former Super Bowl hero Damien Williams, who opted out of the 2020 NFL season. - Veach made just two meaningful additions, first signing Derrick Gore on a reserve/future contract in February ahead of Super Bowl LV. He also signed RB Jerick McKinnon on a one-year prove-it deal, using the veteran salary benefit to save money on his salary-cap charge. - Given McKinnon’s extensive injury history, the team wasn’t willing to pay a premium, but they were willing to give him a shot to earn his keep. The veteran halfback is now slated to become a free agent when the new league year begins in March, but will the Chiefs attempt to re-sign him? - The first 10 weeks of the 2021 NFL season weren’t exactly the most fruitful for McKinnon. He recorded just seven carries for 38 yards and 10 receptions on 15 targets for 81 yards. He was playing the majority of his snaps on special teams and when he did start to see action on offense, he wasn’t frequently given the ball. Following a breakthrough performance in Week 10 against the Raiders, McKinnon suffered a hamstring injury on the coverage unit on special teams. He spent the entire month of December on injured reserve, before eventually returning to action in Week 17. - In Week 18 against the Denver Broncos, Clyde Edwards-Helaire was still recouping from a shoulder injury. Darrel Williams drew the start but suffered a toe injury during the course of the game. As a result, McKinnon managed eight touches for 50 yards and a receiving touchdown. It was his most impressive performance in Kansas City to date. Ultimately, that performance earned him the opportunity to start throughout the playoffs. It was his big break. - During the win-or-go-home games, McKinnon had 48 touches for 315 yards and a touchdown, turning heads in the process. Not only was the production there, but McKinnon looked like the most natural fit as a three-down running back as the Chiefs had on the team all season long. His speed, quickness and acceleration added a dynamic element to the offense that it simply lacked beforehand. - So will McKinnon be back with the Chiefs in 2022? - Technically, the Chiefs only have Edwards-Helaire and reserve/future signing Brenden Knox

Chiefs had pre-draft meeting with Pitt WR Taysir Mack at NFLPA Collegiate Bowl / It’s the time of year when

Chiefs had pre-draft meeting with Pitt WR Taysir Mack at NFLPA Collegiate Bowl / It’s the time of year when we’re beginning to hear about draft prospects meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. - Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett is one of the top prospects at his position in the 2022 NFL draft and the Chiefs are taking an interest in one of his top targets. According to the Draft Network’s Justin Melo, the Chiefs are one of the teams that met with Pittsburgh WR Taysir Mack at the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl in late January. Mack also drew interest from the Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets and New York Giants. - Mack transferred from Indiana to Pittsburgh as a sophomore and spent four seasons with the Panthers. Over the course of his career at Pitt, he amassed 138 catches for over 2,000 yards and nine touchdowns, averaging nearly 15 yards per reception. - - #Pittsburgh WR Taysir Mack averaged 17.1 yards per reception while showcasing strong chemistry with @kennypickett10 in 2021. - Mack was at the @NFLPABowl and had productive meetings with scouts from the #Packers, #Texans, #Chiefs, #Jets, #Jaguars & #Giants. Mack met w/ 14+ teams. - — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) February 9, 2022 - - - Listed at 6-2 and 190 pounds, Mack has made a college career out of being a quarterback’s best friend. He needs just the slightest bit of daylight to be declared open and has made some incredibly acrobatic catches, displaying elite ball-tracking skills and body control throughout his college career. Mack also plays special teams on the coverage units which is always something that the Chiefs are looking for. - Mack is likely to be a Day 3 draft pick or priority undrafted free agent. It’s worth noting that Kansas City signed Mack’s former teammate, Maurice Ffrench, following the 2020 NFL draft. They seem to like receiver prospects from Pitt. - Remember, the Chiefs are going to meet with a lot of players during the pre-draft process and it doesn’t always denote interest. The majority of prospects will have some sort of meeting with all 32 teams ahead of the draft. It’s part of the fact-gathering process that goes into these teams crafting a draft strategy. - - List - - Chiefs rebuild defense in latest Draft Wire 3-round mock draft - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your

Chiefs sign LB Shilique Calhoun on reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a player who spent

Chiefs sign LB Shilique Calhoun on reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a player who spent some time on their practice squad during the 2021 NFL season. - According to the league’s personnel notice for Wednesday, the Chiefs signed LB/DE Shilique Calhoun to a reserve/future contract. Calhoun was a former third-round draft pick by the Las Vegas Raiders out of Michigan State in 2018. The 6-4 and 260-pound defender has bounced around the league, spending time with the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers. - Calhoun signed to the Chiefs’ practice squad back in early November after trying out with the team. He actually had two tackles against Kansas City during the preseason this year when he was with the 49ers, but didn’t see any action during the regular season with the Chiefs. He was a practice squad protection ahead of Week 15 as the team had some injury and COVID issues they were dealing with. A few weeks later ahead of the divisional round of the playoffs, Calhoun was among four players released from the practice squad by Kansas City. - As we predicted back then, it wasn’t the end for some of those players. Both Calhoun and Nakia Griffin-Stewart are now back with the team. When the new league year begins in March, they’ll officially become part of the 90-man offseason roster. - Bringing in competitive depth is important for the Chiefs as they turn the page to 2022. Adding players like Calhoun and Griffin-Stewart, who already know the system, will only increase competition heading into the offseason. - - List - - NFL releases full list of players invited to 2022 NFL Scouting Combine - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs logical choice for NFL's game played in Munich in 2022 / The NFL formally announced on Wednesday that it

Chiefs logical choice for NFL's game played in Munich in 2022 / The NFL formally announced on Wednesday that it would begin playing games in Germany, beginning in the 2022 NFL season. The first game is one of four games to be played in Germany between 2022-2025. It’ll be played in Munich, with FC Bayern hosting the first game in Germany in 2022 at Allianz Arena. It’s one of five international NFL games set to be played in 2022, with one to be played in Mexico and three in the United Kingdom. - The Kansas City Chiefs are a logical choice for the 2022 Munich game for a number of reasons. First, they’re one of four NFL teams awarded NFL international marketing right for Germany along with the Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The NFL has previously stated that it will attempt to schedule international games so teams that hold marketing rights can play in those countries. Tampa Bay is slated to host Kansas City sometime in 2022, so that game would be an obvious choice to be played in Munich, especially as a rematch of Super Bowl LV. - The Chiefs have an unspoken partnership with FC Bayern due to CEO and Chairman Clark Hunt. Hunt’s soccer team, FC Dallas, has shared a player development partnership with FC Bayern since 2018. That relationship has extended to the Chiefs, as the team was slated to host a match for the International Champions Cup in July of 2019 at Arrowhead Stadium. - The game between FC Bayern and AC Milan was eventually moved to Children’s Mercy Park as weather impacted the team’s ability to adequately prepare Arrowhead Stadium for the match. These clubs have collaborated leading up to that game, even putting star QB Patrick Mahomes in the spotlight with some of FC Bayern’s biggest stars. - Mahomes would be the third and final reason that the Chiefs would make a lot of sense for the 2022 game. He’s taken the league by storm since 2018 and has emerged as one of its most popular stars. He leads the NFL in merchandise sales among active players per the NFLPA’s most recent reporting. The league has every reason to get him in front of an international crowd as a way to help build up its audience. - Upon the announcement of the game in Munich, the Chiefs also showed their hand. They were quick to retweet FC Bayern’s US Twitter post down below: - - The @NFL is touching down in Munich! - We're thrilled to host the first-ever NFL game in Germany! #MiaSanMia @NFLDeutschland pic.twitter.com/zt59mBV0WP - — FC Bayern US (@FCBayernUS) February 9, 2022 - - - It’s not a big surprise to see some Mahomes and Chiefs HC Andy Reid in that video. - Maybe Kansas City gets passed over for the game next season, but really it’s only a matter of time before the Chiefs end up playing a

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, TE Travis Kelce big earners in latest NFLPA top 50 sales list / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce remain among the top earners on the NFLPA’s top 50 player sales list. - The NFLPA’s latest list covers all player officially licensed NFL merchandise sales from March 1, 2021, through November 30, 2021. That group of items includes game jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, bobbleheads, plush toys, socks, face coverings, headbands, figurines, wall decals, photos, drinkware, pet products and so on. - The NFLPA’s last look at the quarterly sales had Mahomes and Kelce right at the top of the pack and this one is not much different. Mahomes came in No. 2 behind recently-retired Buccaneers QB Tom Brady. Kelce came in No. 18. One of Brady and Mahomes has been in the No. 1 spot for 11 consecutive times since October of 2018 per the NFLPA’s reporting. - According to the NFLPA, Mahomes led the NFL in collegiate co-brand drinkware from GameTime Sidekicks, youth apparel from Outerstuff, The Lang Company calendars, accessories from Party Animal and medical scrubs for nurses and doctors from TiScrubs. He placed in the top 5 in jersey sales, FOCO bobbleheads, Fathead wall cutouts, JUNK headbands. Kelce placed in the top 5 for FOCO bobbleheads. - Now that Brady has retired, it’ll be interesting to see if Mahomes can reclaim the No. 1 merchandise sales spot. He probably won’t need to worry about new challengers as Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow has dropped six spots (No. 4 to No. 10) in merchandise sales from the previous quarter. - - List - - 5 Chiefs players who finished the season on injured reserve or NFI list - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid set to speak at John Madden's public memorial / Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is one of eight speakers at the late John Madden’s public memorial service on Monday, Feb. 14 at 3:30 p.m. CT. - Hall of Fame NFL head coach and broadcaster passed away at 85 years old back in December. He had an immeasurable impact on the game of football and will have a lasting legacy well beyond his death. - Reid became close with Madden when he was just an assistant coach with the Green Bay Packers. He said that the two bonded over their shared love for food, but it’s also clear they shared a passion for the game of football. They’d speak often, even during his time in Kansas City with Reid coaching Madden’s former nemesis. - “Well, he loved to hate the Chiefs, but he loved the Hunt family,” Reid said in December. “He’d tell you that they had some knockdown drag-outs. And he could remember about every single play. But he said, ‘It’s a great organization. The Hunt family is phenomenal.’ He would always remind me to tell Norma Hunt, ‘Hello.’ He liked them, but he didn’t like them.” - Other speakers for the memorial service include Steve Mariucci, Raiders HOFer Art Shell, Broadcaster Lesley Visser, former Raiders LB Matt Millen, Washington Commanders HC Ron Rivera, Former KCBS Radio News Anchor Stan Bunger and Mike Madden, son of John and Virginia Madden. - Additionally, the Madden family announced there will be video tributes and performances during the memorial. - If you’re in the Oakland, California area and wish to purchase tickets to attend the memorial, click here.

Will pending free agent WR Byron Pringle be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / Once again, the Kansas City

Will pending free agent WR Byron Pringle be back with the Chiefs in 2022? / Once again, the Kansas City Chiefs find themselves looking to re-tool their roster and situate themselves for another Super Bowl run. They fell short of that goal this year, and unlike their Super Bowl LV loss a year ago, the weakness in roster construction isn’t quite as glaring. - Brett Veach will have a decision to make on a number of unrestricted free agents this season, many of whom contributed to the success of this franchise for years now. One of those players is veteran WR Byron Pringle, who is coming off a one-year $2.1 million restricted free agent contract tender. - An undrafted free agent by the way of Kansas State in 2018, Pringle worked his way up from being a practice squad player and special teamer to a key rotational piece in the K.C. offense. The team has invested a lot of developmental time in Pringle, who will turn 29 years old during the 2022 NFL season. That investment has paid off so far. - Pringle posted a career year from a statistical standpoint in 2021, with 42 catches on 60 targets for 568 yards and five touchdown grabs. He also was the team’s starting kick returner with 25 returns for 621 yards in 2021. He played nearly 50% of the Chiefs’ offensive snaps in 2021 after having never played more than 27% in a single year prior. - During the playoffs, Pringle’s performance was even more impressive. In three playoff games this season, he caught 12 passes on 17 targets for 82 yards and three touchdowns. He’s actually now tied with Marcus Allen, Mike Garrett, and Knile Davis for the fourth-most postseason touchdowns in franchise history. - Pringle was the No. 3 receiving option for Patrick Mahomes the majority of the season, but it wasn’t all sunshine and roses. Outside of Travis Kelce, Pringle led the team in percentage of dropped passes per target according to Pro Football Reference’s tracking. A total of 6.7% of Pringle’s regular-season targets were dropped in 2021. - There’s a chance that Pringle is back in free agency despite any shortcomings. He proved this season that he is capable of being a productive option in this offense. At the same time, he might have played his way out of what Kansas City views as an affordable free-agent contract. - The Chiefs already have nine receivers under contract for 2022 that aren’t named Tyreek Hill. That group includes players like former fifth-round draft pick Cornell Powell. It includes Daurice Fountain who was active for each of the three postseason games for Kansas City this year. It includes several new additions by the way of reserve/future contract too. - - List - - 5 Chiefs players who finished the season on injured reserve or NFI list - - - - - - - - - - - -

Chiefs bring back TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart on reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs have brought back a former practice squad tight end on a reserve/future contract. - According to the NFL’s official personnel notice for Monday, the Chiefs have re-signed TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart on a reserve/future deal. Griffin-Stewart was on and off the practice squad often in 2021. He was one of four K.C. players released from the practice squad ahead of the divisional round of the playoffs. He originally signed to the practice squad in early November, but he was released a week afterward. Eventually, he re-signed to the practice squad in late November and stuck throughout the month of December. - Listed at 6-5 and 260 pounds, Griffin-Stewart entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Pittsburgh in 2020. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings and has since spent time with the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. - Griffin-Stewart saw his first regular-season play with the Chiefs in 2021. He was called up to the 53-man roster as a standard elevation in Week 16 against the Steelers when TE Travis Kelce was ruled out of the game due to COVID-19. He played just three offensive snaps during the game and recorded no stats. - Brett Veach has amassed a lot of talent at the tight end position to compete behind Kelce this offseason. They’ve already signed Jordan Franks, Matt Bushman and Mark Vital to reserve/future contracts. Noah Gray is still under contract and the team is expected to bring back exclusive rights free agent Jody Fortson (Achilles). It’s shaping up to be quite the training camp battle at this particular position. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, New Orleans has chosen their own defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen, to become the next head coach of their team. - Allen previously served as head coach of the then-Oakland Raiders from 2012 through 2014.

He could have the option to return to the Chiefs, who’d welcome his return. He could also coach elsewhere should he have the opportunity and choose to do so. - At this point, it’s tough not to wonder if Bieniemy will ever get a head-coaching job in the NFL.

Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu discusses Eric Bieniemy's head-coaching candidacy / Kansas City Chiefs fans anxiously await news on offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after he had an 8-hour interview with the New Orleans Saints for their head-coaching vacancy. - Bieniemy has interviewed with 15 NFL teams for head-coaching vacancies across four NFL offseasons, but he’s been passed over time and time again for other candidates. The NFL currently has two Black head coaches in the NFL after the Houston Texans hired Lovie Smith on Monday. This comes just days after Commissioner Roger Goodell issued a memo to all 32 NFL teams regarding the lack of coaching diversity in the league. - During practice at the 2022 Pro Bowl, Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu spoke to NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe in an on-field interview. He weighed in on Bieniemy’s coaching candidacy and the lack of Black head coaches in the league. - - Caught up with Pro Bowl captain Tyrann Mathieu (@Mathieu_Era)about playing with other stars, NFL Black coach hirings/firings and why he wants an all-Louisiana battle with Justin Jefferson today. - Peep his son, Tyrann Jr., in the frame — he’s been lit all week. @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/6C85ybwCUF - — Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) February 6, 2022 - - - “Yeah, man, obviously you had the feeling a couple of years ago that things were beginning to change,” Mathieu said. “Maybe here or there, things have changed, but I think overall, there’s still a lot of great Black coaches who seemingly get left out and overlooked, man. - “Obviously, you know, Eric Bieniemy, I know him personally being a part of the team with him the past three years and just watching the way that he inspires us and motivates us, and even the X’s and O’s — He’s a great coach. He’s coached some great players and you just want what’s best for everybody.” - We’ll see if the latest interview for Bieniemy is the one that lands him a head-coaching job. His players remain steadfast in their praise for his leadership, coaching and mastery of the game. The one thing that remains clear is that the NFL has a long way to go when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the hiring process for head-coaching positions. - - List - - 4 things to know about new Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter

Chiefs to sign former Ottawa Redblacks CB Brandin Dandridge to reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs worked out Ottawa Redblacks CB Brandin Dandridge last Friday, and now he’s set to sign a reserve/future contract with the team. - Dandridge was unable to sign with the team immediately as Canadian Football League contracts for 2021 don’t expire until February 8. In some cases, players need to be released from their contracts in order to sign with NFL teams. Dandridge was released from his CFL contract on Monday under the guise of pursuing opportunities in the NFL. - CFL reporter Justin Dunk broke the news that Dandridge would be signing with the Chiefs. Dandridge has since confirmed to Chiefs Wire that he’s signing a reserve/future deal. - The Chiefs are very familiar with Dandridge, who attended Blue Springs South High School in Blue Springs, Missouri and Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri. Naturally, Dandridge grew up rooting for the local NFL team. - “I moved to Lee’s Summit when I was 12,” Dandridge told Chiefs Wire. “When I first got here I thought it was just cool to have an actual NFL team right down the street. I’m originally born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. As time went on I think the Chiefs started to grow on me and I always thought to myself it would be a dream to have an opportunity to put on that helmet.” - Dandridge will now have an opportunity to live out that dream with the Chiefs. Back in 2019, Dandridge was among 40 players at the team’s local pro day, but he didn’t get the opportunity to go through the workout with the team at the time due to injury. - “So, I was coming off a knee injury in 2019 so I was unable to perform at the local day and my pro day as well,” Dandridge said. “The team pretty much told me I needed to get healthy.” - Dandridge first got that opportunity to prove he was healthy in 2019 when he appeared in four games with the Redblacks. In 2021, Dandridge played in 8-of-14 games and tied for the second-most interceptions in the CFL with four, including three interceptions in consecutive games. He felt that his most recent season was a reflection of his return to full health. - “Yes definitely,” Dandridge said. “I still feel that my game is evolving and that I have so much more to learn.” - In Kansas City, Dandridge will have a chance to learn and compete in a secondary that is bound to see some changes for the 2022 NFL season. He could also see some work as a punt returner, as he received First-Team All-MIAA in 2018 with the Missouri Western after returning 19 punts for 240 yards and a touchdown. Most importantly, the Chiefs are getting a player who is motivated and determined to show he has what it takes. - “Chiefs Kingdom is getting a guy that’s hungry

Former Chiefs LT Willie Roaf inducted into Missouri Sports Hall of Fame / Former Kansas City Chiefs LT Willie Roaf

Former Chiefs LT Willie Roaf inducted into Missouri Sports Hall of Fame / Former Kansas City Chiefs LT Willie Roaf was among the athletes and contributors enshrined in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame on Sunday evening. Nearly 20 years from when he was acquired in trade by the Chiefs in March of 2002, Roaf has been recognized for a career of greatness. He played just four years in Kansas City, but they were as memorable and impactful as they come. - Roaf came to the Chiefs after nearly a decade of dominance with the New Orleans Saints. He was coming off of injury, which made the former All-Pro affordable in trade, coasting Kansas City just a third-round draft pick. Chiefs HC Dick Vermeil needed to solidify his offensive line, moving former LT John Tait to RT and plugging Roaf in on the left side. - In his first season in Kansas City, Roaf helped the Chiefs to roll out a high-powered offense that led the NFL in scoring. He’d go on to start in 58 games for the Chiefs during the course of four seasons. The team boasted a top 10 offense each of those years, with the offensive line paving the way for a dominant rushing attack featuring Priest Holmes, plus some elite chemistry between QB Trent Green and TE Tony Gonzalez in the passing game. - - Can’t believe it’s been 20 yrs since I was traded to KC in 02. Went from being #16 on offense in ‘01 to #1 in ‘02. I was given a second chance after my injury & never took it for granted. I wanted to show there was more work I had left to do. Honored to be in the MO Sports HOF. pic.twitter.com/J8XrAUg6nt - — Willie Roaf (@Willie_Roaf) February 7, 2022 - - - Over the course of his career, Roaf earned seven First-Team All-Pro selections. He also was voted to 11 Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 1990s and the 2000s. - Roaf retired from the NFL in 2006. He’s now become one of over 50 Chiefs players, coaches and contributors to have been inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. He was elected to the Saints’ Ring of Honor in 2008, the Chiefs’ Ring of Honor in 2011, the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2014. - - List - - 5 standouts for Chiefs from 2022 Senior Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top

Olympic legend Usain Bolt reignites feud with Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill / Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill and Olympic

Olympic legend Usain Bolt reignites feud with Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill / Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill and Olympic track and field legend Usain Bolt continue to feud over who is the fastest. - The gamesmanship of the two speedsters was dormant through the regular season after it first popped up during the 2021 NFL offseason. Bolt suggested that they each put up a prize in a race, Bolt an Olympic Gold Medal and Hill a Super Bowl ring. Now, Bolt has used recent events during 2022 Pro Bowl week as ammunition for another playful jab. - Hill lost a friendly race earlier in the week during the Pro Bowl to Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons, Browns RB Nick Chubb and Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs. The race was a highlight of the skills showdown, but it wasn’t exactly the most serious competition. - Hill again challenged Bolt to a race during his appearance at the NHL all-star game in Las Vegas over the weekend. Bolt pointed to the results of the Pro Bowl race as he reminded a fan on Twitter of where he believes he measures up against Hill if they were to meet on the track. - - https://t.co/0tTKC1L8jp - — Ty Hill (@cheetah) February 6, 2022 - - - The All-Pro receiver had a career season in 2021 with 111 catches for 1,329 yards and nine touchdowns. He earned his latest trip to the Pro Bowl following an impressive postseason in which he scored a touchdown in all three games. - Hill ironically has already faced off with an Olympian in his life, and it didn’t end well. He opened up about an encounter with world-class track star Andre De Grasse earlier in the week while speaking with NFL Media. - - Has Tyreek Hill ever lost in a race?? - Well, this one time in high school he was beat by someone named Andre De Grasse (@De6rasse) pic.twitter.com/vDZIQVZ4aF - — NFL Canada (@NFLCanada) February 3, 2022 - - - “Have I ever lost in a race,” Hill pondered during Pro Bowl practice? “I have lost in a race. Probably when I was a senior in high school when I went to Catalina, Spain, and raced in the Junior Olympics, I raced against this dude named Andre De Grasse, I believe. He looked just like Drake, crazy. I’m like, I’m fittin’ to beat this dude. The dude ran like a 10 (second) flat at a time I was running a 10.1. We raced, dude, blew my sneakers. He blew me out. It was crazy. After that, he had all my respect.” - De Grasse is a current Canadian Olympic national team member for track and field. Hill responded to Bolt’s shot on Twitter with a quote tweet of emojis indicating that he could be jokingly labeling himself as “washed up.” There still haven’t been any formal plans for a race yet, but Bolt did

Patrick Mahomes won't get over AFC title game loss until Chiefs are back in Super Bowl / Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes won't get over AFC title game loss until Chiefs are back in Super Bowl / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes took part in an in-game interview with ESPN sideline reporter Lisa Salters during the 2022 Pro Bowl on Sunday. - Mahomes’ Pro Bowl performance was going about as well as his final half of postseason football went in the AFC championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He’d thrown a pick-six, during which Buccaneers DB Antoine Winfield Jr. juked Mahomes with a fake pitch. - - Fake pitch!

The interceptions were plentiful for all the quarterbacks AFC and NFC in the first half of the game. - “They’ve got a couple of good DBs out here,” Mahomes told Salters. “Hopefully we can turn them into touchdowns and not interceptions all day and get some cool plays out there.” - Asked to reflect on losing in the AFC title game and playing in the Pro Bowl this week, Mahomes had a positive outlook on the situation. - “Yeah, I mean, it still hurts,” Mahomes said. “You want to be in that Super Bowl, but you enjoy this. It’s an honor to be in the Pro Bowl, and so to be able to be in the Pro Bowl with a lot of my teammates, see their families, it’s a good way to cap off the season for us.” - Asked specifically how long it took the quarterback to get over the loss to the Bengals, well, Mahomes said he hasn’t got over the loss yet and won’t until he achieves a very specific goal. - “I’m still not over it,” Mahomes said. “I don’t think I’ll be over it until we’re in another Super Bowl. I’ll have to use that as motivation moving forward.” - How does Mahomes manage to get over the hump and get the team back to the Super Bowl in Super Bowl LVII? - “We have to go through the process again,” Mahomes said. “You have to start from scratch every single year in this league. You have to go in with the mindset of ‘I’m going to get better and better every single day.’ and hopefully give yourself a chance to be in the Super Bowl.” - - List - - 5 standouts for Chiefs from 2022 Senior Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs

He then claims that Steelers OLB T.J. Watt was downfield playing safety. He finishes things up by throwing another pass. In fact, it looks like he threw more passes here than he caught passes. - It’s enjoyable to see this group get some lighthearted fun in at the Pro Bowl.

Chiefs hiring former Jaguars DC Joe Cullen as defensive line coach / The Kansas City Chiefs are making some changes to their coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball. - As first reported by Florida Times-Union columnist Gene Frenette, the Chiefs are hiring former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Joe Cullen as their defensive line coach. Cullen replaces third-year DL coach Brendan Daly, who will stay on the defensive staff in Kansas City replacing Matt House as linebackers coach. - The team announced the two moves on Friday afternoon. - - We have named Joe Cullen our Defensive Line Coach and Brendan Daly will coach Linebackers. pic.twitter.com/PQ1oz6c0wR - — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) February 4, 2022 - - - Cullen spent one season as the defensive coordinator in Jacksonville under recently fired head coach Urban Meyer. In a forgettable 2021 NFL season, Cullen was what our friends at Jaguars Wire considered a positive as he helped their defense take a step in the right direction. Star Jags pass-rusher Josh Allen even lobbied for his return. - Prior to his time with the Jaguars, Cullen spent five seasons as the defensive line coach with the Baltimore Ravens under former Andy Reid disciple John Harbaugh. Cullen helped groom and develop linemen like Brandon Williams, Justin Madubuike, Michael Pierce and Brent Urban. It would seem he was credited with a lot of the success that Baltimore had stopping the run during his time with the team. - Traditionally, Cullen has worked with a lot of 3-4 defensive schemes. Spagnuolo’s scheme, of course, is a 4-3 under with four down linemen. It’ll be interesting to see how Cullen’s approach changes in a new scheme. - - List - - 4 standouts for Chiefs from the East-West Shrine Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants expected to hire Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka as offensive coordinator / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs are losing another member of their coaching staff, this time on the offensive side of the ball. - After having an in-person interview with the New York Giants’ brass on Wednesday, Chiefs QB coach/passing game coordinator Mike Kafka is set to become the offensive coordinator in New York under new head coach Brian Daboll. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are expected to hire Kafka, but the deal isn’t done quite yet. - Kafka, who was a former NFL QB under Andy Reid in Philly, just completed his fifth season as a member of the Chiefs’ coaching staff, beginning as an offensive quality control coach in 2017. He was promoted to QB coach in 2018, Patrick Mahomes’ first as starter and MVP-winning season. He added the passing game analyst title in 2021. - - The #Giants are expected to hire #Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Deal not done yet but that's the way it's headed. - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 3, 2022 - - - Reid suggested there could be some departures from his staff this offseason, at least compared to other seasons. Now, he’ll be looking for a replacement QB coach. As far as in-house candidates are concerned, look for assistant QB coach David Girardi to potentially be promoted in Kansas City. There is also potential for the soon-to-be 37-year-old Chad Henne, should he retire from the NFL, to join the coaching staff in some capacity to work with quarterbacks. - Chiefs fans will be clamoring for former QB Alex Smith to join the coaching staff, but it’s hard to imagine him leaving his role as an ESPN analyst. - - List - - 5 prospects for Chiefs fans to watch in East-West Shrine Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs salary cap outlook heading into 2022 NFL offseason / The Kansas City Chiefs are shifting focus to the 2022

Chiefs salary cap outlook heading into 2022 NFL offseason / The Kansas City Chiefs are shifting focus to the 2022 NFL offseason after a disappointing conclusion to their 2021 campaign. The first thing on the agenda for GM Brett Veach is to get the salary cap in order. - According to the latest projections from Over The Cap, the Chiefs are expected to have around $14.2 million in salary-cap space to start the 2022 NFL offseason. They’ll have much more cap space after they do some housekeeping moves. That includes roster cuts, conversions and extensions that will free up cap space and give the team flexibility when free agency opens in March. - Patrick Mahomes’ contract, contrary to popular belief, isn’t an impediment to Kansas City’s salary cap situation. The Chiefs can create $22M in salary cap space for 2022 by converting Patrick Mahomes’ roster bonus into a signing bonus. This would effectively lower Mahomes’ cap number for 2022 from over $35 million to right under $14 million. - Expect the Chiefs to do this before March 18, when Mahomes’ roster bonus is due. The team also could use this tactic with Chris Jones, who has an $18 million roster bonus on March 18 as well. Travis Kelce has $750K in per-game roster bonuses that the team could restructure. Tyreek Hill also has a roster bonus that could be converted, but the Chiefs would be better off extending him given his contract is up in 2023. That could reduce his 2022 cap number and help the front office plot out the future. - There are two roster cuts that most expect the Chiefs to make: DE Frank Clark and LB Anthony Hitchens. The team can save $8.4M by releasing Hitchens at any time and the team will only incur $4.2M in dead money. The scenario for Clark is a little different, though. They can save significantly more on Clark if they designate him as a post-June 1 cut. Here’s what those numbers look like courtesy of Over The Cap. - - - - Player - Dead money pre-June 1 - Savings pre-June 1 - Dead money post-June 1 - Savings post-June 1 - - - DE Frank Clark - $13.6M - $12.7M - $6.8M - $19.5M - - - - With these two roster cuts alone, the Chiefs could create as much as $27.9 million in cap space. Add Mahomes and Jones roster bonus conversions to the mix and the team could be looking at over $60 million in created cap space in addition to the $14.2 million they’re already expected to have. - Given the group of pending free agents and the improvements Kansas City needs to make to continue to maximize their window, it’s safe to say that they’re in a good spot for the 2022 NFL offseason. They need to be cautious, though. Restructuring contracts is simply a delaying tactic and can result in serious salary cap implications down

WATCH: Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire's postgame message to Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase / Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire had an incredible display of sportsmanship after the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game. - In the immediate chaos of the clock hitting zero and the Bengals punching their ticket to Super Bowl LVI, Edwards-Helaire ran through the crowd to find his former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase. The two were on the same LSU national championship team in 2019 along with Bengals QB Joe Burrow. Edwards-Helaire spoke with Burrow briefly too, but his words to Chase were really special. - Check them out down below: - - An @LSUfootball bond that extends far beyond football.@Real10jayy__ and @Clydro_22 shared a special moment on Sunday pic.twitter.com/e4R1zIhIz0 - — NFL Films (@NFLFilms) February 2, 2022 - - - “Not too many opportunities go up there and get that,” Edwards-Helaire said to Chase. “Hey, we went up there. Go get that, bruh. Go get that. We talked about all that shit in Mexico. We talked about all that shit in Mexico. . . and I told you. We sat down in that room and I said, ‘Aye, you gonna be the greatest receiver to ever do this shit.’ I sat here and told you that between me and you, don’t ever let nobody tell you nothing different, bruh. Go get you a ring, bring that back home and handle business. I love you.” - Edwards-Helaire, of course, played in and lost Super Bowl LV. He knows that these opportunities to win a championship don’t come often. - What’s really impressive here was that instead of being disappointed that the Chiefs just blew their shot at making it back to the Super Bowl, he was genuinely excited for his former teammate. He could have just as easily been sulking, and instead, he chose to find Chase and deliver that impassioned vote of confidence. It’s quite the show of maturity from the 22-year-old running back. - - List - - List of Chiefs players officially participating in 2022 Pro Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs WR De'Anthony Thomas signs with CFL's BC Lions / A former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick is getting another shot at playing professional football, but this time it’s in the Canadian Football League. - The CFL’s BC Lions announced on Tuesday that they’d signed former Chiefs WR De’Anthony Thomas. A fourth-round pick by way of the University of Oregon in the 2014 NFL draft, Thomas spent six seasons with Kansas City as a wide receiver and return specialist. - Thomas appeared in 61 games over those six seasons, amassing 65 receptions for 509 yards and four touchdowns along with 30 rushing attempts for 190 yards and two scores. His biggest impact came on special teams where he returned a combined 163 kicks and punts for 4,294 yards and one touchdown. - Thomas was released by Kansas City in October of 2019 and was picked up by the Ravens for the remainder of the season. After re-signing with Baltimore the following March, Thomas opted out of the 2020 NFL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was ultimately released by the Ravens ahead of the 2021 NFL season. - - SUBJECT LINE: New Playmaker #BCLions sign WR/KR De'Anthony Thomas. The former @oregonfootball standout spent six seasons in the NFL, mostly with @Chiefs, and played a role on both offence and special teams - Welcome, @DATBLACKMOMBA13 - — BC LIONS (@BCLions) February 1, 2022 - - - The 29-year-old will have a shot to compete and make the BC Lions’ team during the upcoming CFL season. His greatest asset has always been his speed and elusiveness. Thomas could blossom into a star north of the border in the latter half of his football-playing career. - - List - - 6 takeaways from Chiefs GM Brett Veach's end-of-season media availability - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka expected to be finalist for Giants OC job / Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid could be losing another member of his coaching staff, this time to NFL ranks. - We already know that Chiefs LB coach Matt House plans to leave to become LSU’s defensive coordinator. Reid, during his Monday end-of-season media availability, suggested there could be more departures in the coming weeks. We now know that one member of his offensive staff is being considered for another job. - According to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Chiefs QB coach/passing game coordinator Mike Kafka is among those expected to be finalists for the Giants offensive coordinator job under new HC Brian Daboll. Kafka joins both Pep Hamilton and Chad O’Shea as the three expected finalists. - - With Ken Dorsey sticking with the #Bills, the expected finalists for #Giants OC: Pep Hamilton, Mike Kafka and Chad O’Shea, sources tell me and @RapSheet. - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 1, 2022 - - - Last offseason, Kafka was in the running for the Seahawks OC job and for the Eagles’ HC job. Andy Reid promoted Kafka, adding the title of passing game coordinator, in order to keep him around in Kansas City. Now, he may need to promote him again in order to keep him around. Kafka has often been viewed as a successor to current Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy should he get an opportunity to become a head coach. - Obviously, there is a new complication that popped up late Tuesday afternoon, with the New York Giants being named in a lawsuit by former Miami Dolphins HC Brian Flores alleging discriminatory hiring practices. That could dissuade a coach like Kafka from leaving Kansas City. - - List - - 6 takeaways from Chiefs GM Brett Veach's end-of-season media availability - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach talks Melvin Ingram trade, potential return for 2022 / Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke

Chiefs GM Brett Veach talks Melvin Ingram trade, potential return for 2022 / Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke to the media for his end-of-season availability on Tuesday. - This was the first time the media had spoken with Veach since the team had acquired Melvin Ingram in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers back at the NFL’s trade deadline. With Ingram slated to hit free agency, Veach was asked to take us back through the entire process leading up to the eventual trade. That includes a look at what happened when the Chiefs had Ingram in for a visit during the 2021 NFL offseason. - “I think as you guys know when we went through that free agency process. . . sometimes some of these accomplished players are really patient,” Veach explained. “If they don’t get exactly what they want then they’d rather just wait and kind of let things unfold and kind of give their bodies an extended period of time. I don’t think some of these guys are in a rush to do the offseason stuff either because they’ve been there, done that. We certainly had an interest in Melvin (Ingram) and we had a chance to bring him in later and we couldn’t get something done. But there was mutual interest, I think, and as we got into the season and we were going through some injury stuff with Frank (Clark) and Chris (Jones), we were always keeping the eyes and ears open to strengthen that defensive line room. Particularly, the depth at that defensive end position.” - Eventually, when the opportunity came for the Chiefs to acquire Ingram in trade, they remained vigilant in their pursuit. It went even better than the team could have hoped. - “Just doing the work that our staff does through the season, just keeping the phone lines open there, we were able to communicate with Pittsburgh there,” Veach said. “They kind of hinted that they might do something there and we stayed aggressive and kept calling back. We were able to bring (Melvin Ingram) here and obviously, he had a tremendous impact. He solidified the depth at that position, he allowed Chris (Jones) to play more inside, more of his natural technique. Then, his leadership and his approach elevated everyone else’s game. I don’t think it was a fluke that the defense just took off from there. We had a really good string of late-season football and I think he was a huge part of that.” - As Ingram is slated to once again become a free agent, Veach offered his outlook for the future. He anticipates that things will go very similarly for Ingram in free agency this year as they did last season. - “With Melvin, I think it’ll be very similar to last year,” Veach said. “I think he’ll be a guy that will want to take his time. He’s played a lot of snaps and he’s still a productive player. He can still help

Chiefs hold pick No. 30 in 2022 NFL draft after AFC championship loss / After falling to the Cincinnati Bengals

Chiefs hold pick No. 30 in 2022 NFL draft after AFC championship loss / After falling to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game, the Kansas City Chiefs now know where they’ll pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft. - The Chiefs now hold pick No. 30 in the first round of the draft. Whether they actually make a pick in the first round remains to be seen as Brett Veach has a penchant for trading late first-round draft picks for proven veterans. That might not be the case this year, though. - Last season the Buffalo Bills drafted DE Gregory Rousseau at pick No. 30 and he turned out to be a very solid pass-rusher with four sacks as a rookie. In 2019, the New York Giants took CB Deandre Baker at that spot. In 2018, the Minnesota Vikings took CB Mike Hughes. We’re very familiar with both players and their abilities after 2021. In 2017, the Pittsburgh Steelers took NFL sack leader T.J. Watt at pick No. 30. It seems like if history holds true, there should be some defensive talent for Kansas City at that spot. - From 1961 to 2021, Kansas City has only ever once picked a player at No. 30. That happened in the 1961 AFL draft, when the then-Dallas Texans selected Claude Moorman II of Duke University with pick No. 30. To further date how long it has been, Moorman played the ‘end’ position. Pick No. 30 was also in the fourth round of the AFL draft. - Moorman didn’t actually end up playing any games for the Chiefs in the AFL and as far as I can tell he didn’t play in the NFL either. Hopefully, that’s not a sign of what’s to come for Kansas City. - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs’ pending free agents for 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs snap counts: Jerick McKinnon leads RBs in AFC championship game / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs finished the season with 69 snaps on defense and 69 snaps on offense. It’s not too surprising given how the two halves of the game were polar opposites for Kansas City. In one half the Chiefs offense was scoring with ease and the defense was getting off the field. During the other, the offense couldn’t keep a drive alive and the defense was playing on its heels. - What else can we learn from this week’s snap counts? Here’s a look at how the snaps played out in the AFC championship game: - - *Snap counts via NFL Game Statistics and Information System - Observations - - Jerick McKinnon saw the most significant workload of any of the three running backs for Kansas City. Outside of Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce he was the skill position player to receive the most snaps for the Chiefs. Clyde Edwards-Helaire played just 13 snaps, while Darrel Williams played just two in his return to action. - Mecole Hardman, who seemed visibly frustrated with his role at times, came in No. 4 behind Hill, Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle in receiver snaps. - Blake Bell played 22 snaps on Sunday. Noah Gray played just 3 snaps on offense and eight on special teams before leaving the game with an ankle injury. - Tyrann Mathieu, Charvarius Ward and L’Jarius Sneed played 100% of the defensive snaps during Sunday’s game. Sneed had a particularly tough day in coverage. - Willie Gay Jr. led the Chiefs’ linebackers in snaps. The opportunity led to one of the best days of his career. Anthony Hitchens played 11 more defensive snaps to rookie Nick Bolton. Ben Niemann played the fewest defensive snaps among linebackers. - A week after playing a majority of the snaps on defense, Daniel Sorensen was reduced to a sub-package role, playing just 22 snaps on the day. He still managed to make a negative impact on the two-point conversion that first tied the game. - Mike Danna played just 14 defensive snaps. It felt like he was making an impact in the snaps he did play, so perhaps it’s a good sign for the future. - Armani Watts, Daurice Fountain, Dorian O’Daniel, Zayne Andersen and Nick Allegretti only played on special teams on Sunday. Kemp, Watts and O’Daniel tied for the most with 23. - - - List - - Updated look at Chiefs’ pending free agents for 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs

Will Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu, DE Frank Clark be back in 2022? / A pair of Kansas City Chiefs defenders

Will Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu, DE Frank Clark be back in 2022? / A pair of Kansas City Chiefs defenders were asked to think about their future in the immediate aftermath of their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. - Since joining the team as a free agent in 2019, Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu has been the unquestioned leader on the defensive side of the ball. He’s been productive with 13 interceptions and 27 passes defended over the course of three seasons. Many consider him the heart and soul of Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. - As a pending free agent in 2022, there have been questions about whether he’ll be re-signed throughout the course of the 2021 NFL season. Mathieu has remained steadfast in his desire to play out the rest of his career in Kansas City. The Chiefs have expressed optimism that a deal will get done in the offseason. - Asked about his eagerness to stay in Kansas City, Mathieu got emotional before explaining where he stands on his return. - “I mean, I hope so,” Mathieu said with tears in his eyes. “Ever since I came here, I’ve just tried to be the right kind of teammate. I’ve tried to play my part and you know, obviously, there’s always that feeling that you could make more plays for your team. But I’m hoping it works out. I don’t have any control over that. I feel like everything that was in my control, I tried my best to handle it and to do it with a smile. I love this team and I love this locker room. There’s a lot of coaches that I have great relationships with. So I’m hoping, yeah.” - Frank Clark, who joined the team via trade with the Seattle Seahawks in 2019, faces a different end of the business in Kansas City. - Performance has been an issue with Clark, who put up just 4.5 sacks this season as the highest-paid defender on the team. He remains under contract through the 2023 NFL season and is due over $26 million in salary cap next year. Releasing Clark as a post-June 1 cut could save the Chiefs $19.5 million in cap space. - Asked about his optimism level that he’ll be with Kansas City next season, Clark expressed his desire to be here in 2022, but he recognized that business in the NFL doesn’t always work like that. - “Man, Kansas City is my home,” Clark said. “I bought a house here. My daughter goes to school and stuff like that here. It’s home, man. I want to be here for the future, for the rest of my career. But like you said, unfortunately, the way business goes, things don’t happen the way that you want them to happen all the time.” - Ultimately, Brett Veach will have some tough decisions to make this offseason, including the fate of both Mathieu and Clark. - - List - - Looking ahead to Chiefs’ pending free agents

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shoulders blame for AFC championship game loss to Bengals / Love y’all #ChiefsKingdom. This one hurts but we will be back! See y’all next year! - — Patrick Mahomes II (@PatrickMahomes) January 31, 2022 - - - Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is shouldering the blame for his team’s overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game. - Mahomes had a night and day difference between the first and second half of the AFC title game. In the first half, he was flawless, throwing for 220 yards, 3 touchdowns, no interceptions. In the second half and overtime, Mahomes threw for just 55 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. It was nothing short of a meltdown for the talented young signal-caller. - “I’ve got to be better,” Mahomes said following the game. “When you’re up 21-3 at one point in the game, you can’t lose it. I put that on myself.” - But what happened in the second half that caused Mahomes to be so ineffective? Andy Reid said after the game that Cincinnati didn’t do much different, other than playing more man coverage on second down. Mahomes credited the Bengals with a good game plan as it related to his scrambling ability. They put a spy on him that limited how much he was able to get with his legs. - The real problem for Mahomes was something that plagued the Chiefs early on in the season. He passed over open plays underneath looking for plays that were open downfield. He got too aggressive. - “Just a few misreads here and there,” Mahomes said. “There were guys that were open. I didn’t hit it the right time or I passed up on something shorter because I wanted to get something deeper down the field. When you’re playing a good team and you don’t hit what’s there and try to get a little bit more than what’s necessary, it kind of bites you in the butt. We were playing so well in the first half, and in the second half we were just off a tick. And that’s all it takes to lose a football game.” - So where do the Chiefs go from here? Mahomes and the rest of the team hold themselves to a high standard and while they’ll look back on some good moments in this season, they know they missed out on an opportunity to reach the Super Bowl. - “You take away the good things, just like any season,” Mahomes said. “It’s definitely disappointing. With this group of guys that we have, we expect to be in (the Super Bowl) and to win that game. Anything less than that is not a success. - “We’ll go back and look at all the things we did well, the adversity we battled through, the better team that we became toward the end of the season. And we’ll try to learn from the mistakes that we made and try

If they plan to use him as such, Chiefs must let Blake Bell be 'The Belldozer' / The Kansas City

If they plan to use him as such, Chiefs must let Blake Bell be 'The Belldozer' / The Kansas City Chiefs tried to get a little creative with their usage of veteran TE Blake Bell in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills. - It was third-and-1 from the Bills’ 7-yard line and the Chiefs were up by two points. Patrick Mahomes motioned out of shotgun and put tight end Blake Bell under center. It looked like it was going to be a patented QB sneak play that they’ve run with Bell all season long. Instead, they ran a QB sprint option to the boundary side of the field. Bell pitched the ball to Jerick McKinnon, who lost three yards on the play. - Yes, Bell could have done a better job pressing the line of scrimmage and forcing Bills defenders to crash down. The problem is that all of Bell’s carries this season have been in short-yardage situations and Bell is too far removed from his glory days. - So why don’t the Chiefs remind people? - If you’re going to use Bell as a runner, let him be “The Belldozer.” - - look, if you're gonna put blake bell behind center, let the belldozer do what he does best pic.twitter.com/eLOzDInWRM - — Matt Henderson (@KWCHMatt) January 24, 2022 - - - In high school, Bell was a dual-threat QB at Bishop Carroll High School in Wichita, Kansas. In college with the Oklahoma Sooners, he was one of the most productive wildcat quarterbacks around. He had over 100 carries for 372 yards and 23 rushing touchdowns over the span of two seasons as a freshman and sophomore at Oklahoma. - - How to run the Belldozer play @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/qzlRvBRIVC - — Jaden Ivey Fan Club (@AaronVarner6) January 24, 2022 - - - Bell’s former Oklahoma teammate Gabe Ikard pointed out, while Bell might not be getting attempts to run the ball like he used to, he’s still making a big impact for Kansas City. He threw a big block to spring Mecole Hardman on his touchdown. - - They may not be feeding the Belldozer but @B_Bell10 is out here paving the way for other guys to eat! pic.twitter.com/6TVE0QulrM - — Gabe Ikard (@GabeIkard) January 24, 2022 - - - That said if you’re going to have a designed QB run for Bell, why not run a power play like those that Buffalo ran against Kansas City with Josh Allen? Steve Spagnuolo himself said it puts your defense at a numbers disadvantage and you saw exactly how tough it was to stop just a week ago. - - List - - Final injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email -

Latest on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu, RB Darrel Williams ahead of AFC championship game / The Kansas City Chiefs have

Latest on Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu, RB Darrel Williams ahead of AFC championship game / The Kansas City Chiefs have a pair of injured players heading into Sunday’s AFC championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. - Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) and Darrel Williams (toe) were both listed as questionable for the conference championship in the final injury report. After participating in practice in full during the final two days of the practice week, Mathieu has been on track to play, awaiting final clearance from the NFL’s concussion protocol. - The latest report on Mathieu comes from NFL Network’s James Palmer, who tweeted on Saturday evening that the Chiefs expect to have Mathieu for the title game. That’s not exactly the words that fans are hoping to hear, though. What they want to hear is that Mathieu has, “cleared the concussion protocol.” Until you hear those words, there is still a chance that he won’t be able to play. - - #chiefs expected to have S Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) tomorrow for the AFC title game per source. - — James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) January 30, 2022 - - - Williams, who was limited in the final two practices of the week, could be a true game-time decision on Sunday. According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the toe injury feels better and Williams is trending in the right direction. Fowler says Williams intends to play, but the final decision on his status will be up to the Chiefs. Expect Rick Burkholder to have Williams test out the toe pregame and make a decision on the spot. - - Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) feels better on the injury this week and has planned to play, per source. Will be up to Chiefs on whether they feel he's ready, but he's been trending up. - — Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN) January 29, 2022 - - - Ultimately, both players seem to be moving in the right direction, but still are awaiting final clearance from trainers and doctors. - - List - - Predictions for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs make a single roster move ahead of AFC championship game vs. Bengals / The Kansas City Chiefs have made

Chiefs make a single roster move ahead of AFC championship game vs. Bengals / The Kansas City Chiefs have made a single roster move on Saturday ahead of their AFC championship game showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Saturday, the Chiefs have elevated WR Daurice Fountain from the practice squad via standard elevation. This is the third consecutive week that the team has chosen to elevate Fountain to the 53-man roster. The NFL’s new postseason rules allow teams to elevate players an unlimited number of times. - Fountain has played in four games between the regular season and playoffs for Kansas City. Last week, Fountain was active for the divisional-round game against Buffalo, but he didn’t get any snaps on offense. He played just 10 snaps on special teams. - Josh Gordon was released from the 53-man roster this past week, so he won’t be a healthy scratch in lieu of Fountain’s activation as he had been in each of the past two weeks. They’ll have to make another player inactive in order to make room for Fountain as a gameday active. - The other good news here is that the team didn’t make any transactions on the defensive side of the ball. Specifically, they didn’t call up someone like Devon Key with Tyrann Mathieu listed as questionable heading into this game with a concussion. The latest report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler suggests that Mathieu has yet to be cleared from the NFL’s concussion protocol, but the team is expecting him to be cleared in time to play on Sunday. - - List - - Chiefs players react to news of Tom Brady's retirement - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill fined for peace sign on touchdown vs. Bills / Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill caught another fine from the NFL this week. - Last week, Hill was fined over $12,000 for using a pair of cheerleader pom-poms as a prop in a post-touchdown celebration against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round. This week, Hill is being fined over $10,000 for something that happened before he even scored in the divisional round against the Buffalo Bills. - On Hill’s 64-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, he threw up his signature peace sign to a Buffalo defender before he’d even run by him. The NFL took notice and fined him for taunting. We expected this could be a frequent issue for Hill under the NFL’s new taunting emphasis, but surprisingly, this is his first time being fined for the peace sign this season. - - From #Chiefs Tyreek Hill’s snapchat: Second week in a row with a fine for celebration. pic.twitter.com/k7vV9DHhGY - — Aaron Ladd (@aaronladd0) January 29, 2022 - - - Hopefully, Hill can replicate what he did after last week’s fine.

Clark Hunt to serve as drum honoree for Chiefs vs. Bengals / The Kansas City Chiefs have chosen their drum

Clark Hunt to serve as drum honoree for Chiefs vs. Bengals / The Kansas City Chiefs have chosen their drum leader for the AFC championship game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals. - It’s becoming clear that the franchise has a new tradition for the AFC title game. Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt will serve as the drum leader when his team takes the field against the Bengals on Sunday. In each of the last three seasons, Hunt was also the drum leader for the conference championship. - Of course, Kansas City and Cincinnati will be competing for Lamar Hunt Trophy, named after the Chiefs’ founder and Clark’s father. The Chiefs won that trophy for the first time when they defeated the Tennessee Titans in 2019. They won it for the second time last season against the Buffalo Bills and will look to make it a third-straight year on Sunday. - For that reason, Hunt is the perfect person to lead fans in this pregame celebration. He’ll have some backup too, with former Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson and RB Jamaal Charles up on the GEHA Drum Deck as co-Dipardo Spirit Leaders. Pro Football Hall of Fame guard Will Shields will also be in attendance as the honorary coin toss captain for Kansas City. - Other pregame entertainment will include a national anthem performance from Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, actor and author Ashanti. The Fort Leonard Wood Joint Services Color Guard will present the colors during the performance. There will be a flyover featuring four A-10 Thunderbolts from Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri — which has also become something of a tradition for the AFC title game. - There will also be some entertainment at halftime with a special performance by Walker Hayes, who will surely perform his hit song “Fancy Like.” - All gates at Arrowhead Stadium will open at Noon CT ahead of a 2:05 p.m. CT kickoff. - - List - - Final injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs release CB Damon Arnette from reserve/future contract following arrest / The Kansas City Chiefs gave former Las Vegas Raiders CB Damon Arnette a second chance and he’s already gone and blown it. - Arnette signed a reserve/future deal with Kansas City just nine days ago. The former first-round draft pick was released by the Raiders earlier in the 2021 NFL season after an online video of him brandishing a weapon and making threats went viral. When the Chiefs signed Arnette to the reserve/future contract, it was met with criticism. Not two weeks later and the team knows exactly why the signing was criticized. - On Friday, Arnette was arrested in Las Vegas on a litany of charges including assault with a deadly weapon. - - The charges ‘former’ Raider and 1st round pick Damon Arnette is facing following arrest last night in Vegas. #Raiders #8NN pic.twitter.com/z5qxcN2GwT - — Chris Maathuis (@sports8) January 29, 2022 - - - According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs released Arnette from his reserve/future contract immediately following his arrest. Thankfully, this happened prior to Arnette having a chance to join the team. As a reserve/future signing, he doesn’t count toward the active roster until March 16, when the new league year begins. It’s also probably for the best that the team got this out of the way now rather than at a point when they were actually relying on him to play and contribute. - - The #Chiefs immediately released CB Damon Arnette after his arrest Friday night in Las Vegas for assault with a deadly weapon, per source. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 29, 2022 - - - The Chiefs were hoping to find a nice reclamation project in Arnette, instead, they found themselves a headache.

Referee Bill Vinovich assigned to work Chiefs-Bengals game / - - - 13-year veteran NFL referee Bill Vinovich has been assigned to officiate the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC championship game matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals according to Football Zebras. - His crew this week will be another all-star compilation as the NFL has done this entire postseason. Here are those officials and their original crew: - - Umpire – Fred Bryan (Martin) - Down Judge – Ed Camp (Hochuli) - Line Judge – Jeff Seeman (Cheffers) - Field Judge – Mearl Robinson (Hill) - Side Judge – Jonah Monroe (Boger) - Back Judge – Greg Meyer (Clark) - Replay Official – Mark Butterworth (Vinovich) - Replay Assistant – Larry Hanson (Allen) - - Vinovich last officiated the Chiefs’ Week 10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also officiated the Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Fans will likely recall Vinovich as the referee during the Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers. He’s always been known as a “let them play” official, which can be a good and a bad thing for this matchup. - Through 16 games this season, Vinovich and his crew have called the fewest penalties in the NFL with 148 penalties for 1,241 total yards with an average of just over nine penalties per game. His crew has called more penalties on the away team this season, which bodes well for Kansas City as they’ll play at Arrowhead Stadium. - The penalty breakdown shows that Vinovich called offensive holding (31) false start (24) defensive offside (13), defensive pass interference (12), unnecessary roughness (10) and delay of game (10) at the highest rates this season. For those who feel that Ja’Marr Chase got away with push-offs back in Week 17, Vinovich’s crew has called just three offensive pass interference penalties this season. - - List - - Final injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs could use Tyreek Hill at punt returner again in AFC championship game / Tyreek Hill has become a bit

Chiefs could use Tyreek Hill at punt returner again in AFC championship game / Tyreek Hill has become a bit of a secret weapon for the Kansas City Chiefs special teams unit. - In his rookie season back in 2016, Hill was named First-Team All-Pro as a return specialist after having returned 14 kick returns for 384 yards and a score, and 39 punt returns for 592 yards and two scores. As his role within the Chiefs’ offense grew, his role on special teams lessened. It diminished so much that Hill has hardly ever fielded any punts over the past two seasons. - While Hill may no longer appear on the depth chart at punt or kick returner, Dave Toub has always maintained that the team could utilize Hill in certain moments. During Sunday’s overtime thriller against the Buffalo Bills, one of those moments came up. - “I mean if we’re in a situation like we’re in now, win or go home,” Toub explained. “Mecole (Hardman) was a little banged up too. He got a little banged up, his wrist was hurting him a little bit, so it was an easy decision to put (Tyreek Hill) in there. He’s so dangerous that he just puts so much pressure on the punt team and the fact that we made them kick two and that was huge. Anytime we have a situation like that, and we don’t get a big one on the first one, we want to put the punt team back there to cover again because it’s so hard to cover two kicks, so you have that advantage too. Then you have Tyreek back there with the whole crowd chanting ‘Tyreek, Tyreek, Tyreek’, I mean it’s a tough situation for a punt team to be in.” - Hill’s 45-yard punt return against the Bills enabled the team to extend their lead to five points in the third quarter. Those points made all the difference in the team’s overtime win. - Hardman remains on the injury report for the Chiefs, and while he’s been a full participant in practice, this type of game is exactly why Toub continues to work Hill on the special teams unit in practice. Hill puts a type of pressure on a punt coverage unit that no other player does. - “We could use him again,” Toub said. “In this situation, we got to win this game so we got to put our best players on the field, we’re going to get our best guys out there and every down can win the game for us. Just take a look at Green Bay and how important special teams was in that game and our game as well.

Here is how Chiefs CB L'Jarius Sneed is honoring his late brother / Kansas City Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed returned to the team on December 22 after having taken a 10-day hiatus to return to Minden, Louisiana following the stabbing death of his oldest brother. - TQ Harrison helped raise Sneed and the two were as close as could be. Sneed has handled the loss as best as he possibly could and he’s relied on those closest to him to help him cope and heal. - “I have mentors who’ve helped me along the way,” Sneed told reporters on Thursday. “Just trusting the process and taking it day by day. Just learning from this experience and talking to people who’ve been in my situation. They help me along the way.” - Sneed missed two games in the immediate wake of his brother’s death, but now he finds football as his escape. - “I wouldn’t say it’s hard to play football because football takes my mind off things like that,” Sneed said. “That’s why I love the game of football because it takes my mind of what’s really going on in my life.” - While football takes his mind off of things, it’s also been a way that he can pay tribute to his late brother. Sneed has incorporated Harrison into his gameday ritual. In a way, Sneed’s brother is out there with him every time he takes the field. - “Yes, I have his name on my gloves,” Sneed said. “I also wear one of his undershirts.” - On Sneed’s gloves, you can read an inscription along with the initials, “LLTQ.” It stands for, “Long Live TQ.” - - List - - Thursday injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Limiting Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase is Chiefs DC Steve Spanguolo's next challenege / Ja’Marr Chase was a game-breaker during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie phenom also poses the biggest challenge for Kansas City heading into the AFC championship game. - Back in the regular season, Chase posted a historic performance with 11 receptions for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns. It ranks No. 15 all-time in single-game receiving yards. Reflecting back on the performance of his defense in that game isn’t a fun exercise for Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo, but he does at least have one good takeaway. - “More tears than smiles I’ll tell you that, but you bring up a really really good point,” Spagnuolo said on Thursday. “They had the upper hand on that day, but I would agree with you that they were all contested, and our guys were where they were supposed to be, just somehow someway we’ve got to try to find a way to make a play. I think all of our guys feel that way.” - Whether it was Charvarius Ward, Rashad Fenton or L’Jarius Sneed in coverage, Chase wasn’t just wide open and running free. Those defenders were in the position a lot of times to contest the ball, but Chase was the one to make a play on it. This time around, he’s hoping to see some of those plays go the way of his defense in the shape of a turnover or pass breakup. - “We do what we do. We are what we are,” Spagnuolo said. “Hopefully, when that same situation happens in this game, we can find a way to get it knocked out or have him go throw it somewhere else, but we need to make those plays. Our guys understand that, and if we do that, certainly the outcome will be a lot better than it was last time.” - At the same time, Spagnuolo is expecting Chase to get his. He knows how dynamic he is as a player with his unique size and speed. He also knows that he has a level of trust with his quarterback, Joe Burrow, that is unparalleled - “Certainly the talent and speed and the catch radius and all that,” Spagnuolo said of Chase. “I just think one of the things that we found out firsthand is that their quarterback and that receiver really work well together. They know each other really well, obviously the time together at LSU makes a difference, and you can see it in the confidence in the way they play. Those two together are a dynamic duo. No question about it.” - A big outside criticism that Spagnuolo faced after the first matchup had to do with how he handled covering Chase. Many said, “Just double team him.” Spagnuolo would like to do that, but the problem is, it’s not that simple. - “It’s not like they have one weapon, commit two people to it and

How impactful is Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu? Steve Spagnuolo and L'Jarius Sneed weighed in. / The Kansas City Chiefs were without starting S Tyrann Mathieu for all but seven snaps of their thrilling divisional-round win over the Buffalo Bills. - Mathieu has long been heralded as the defensive leader in Kansas City. Since joining the Chiefs in 2019, Mathieu has started in 55-of-56 possible games including the playoffs. Without him on the field for the divisional round, Josh Allen and the Bills feasted on the Kansas City secondary to the tune of 329 yards and four touchdowns. - Just how impactful would Mathieu’s presence have been in preventing such a performance? The defense allows nearly a full yard more per passing attempt when he’s not on the field. Additionally, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo explained that they’d put together an entire package centered around Mathieu that was to be a huge part of their gameplan against Buffalo. - “It took us a little by surprise, obviously, when Tyrann (Mathieu) got hurt early,” Spagnuolo said. “We did have a package we were going to do something a little different. (We) had to throw the thing completely out that we had especially for Buffalo. So, that set us back a little bit, but then it’s like we’ve always said, somebody’s got to step up and the guys did that.” - Spagnuolo added that the team didn’t play nearly up to their potential on the defensive side of the ball, but that they managed to get by without Mathieu on the field. - After the win over the Bills, Chiefs DE Frank Clark spoke about Mathieu’s absence. He explained that through his sheer presence alone, Mathieu makes the defense better. Sometimes it’s not even through the spoken word. For nickel cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, that’s not the case. - Sneed explained that Mathieu sounds the alarm and lets him know exactly what’s coming ahead of every defensive snap. He suggested that he’s right every time too. - “Every snap, every snap,” Sneed said on Thursday. “Every snap he warns me of what’s coming and what to expect and all of that. Every snap he does it.” - Without their defensive leader against Buffalo, there certainly wasn’t any defensive clairvoyance. In fact, it even felt there were miscommunications at times, ones that wouldn’t have happened if Mathieu were on the field. - Sneed wouldn’t go so far as to say there was confusion in the secondary without Mathieu. He expressed confidence in the next-man-up mentality that the team has come to preach. - “There wasn’t no confusion going on,” Sneed said. “We just have to get lined up, that’s about it.” - That said, Sneed and everyone in that locker room know that the defense is at its best when Mathieu is on the field. Whether he’s the one making plays or enabling his teammates to be best prepared for what’s to come. - After returning to practice as a full participant on Thursday, signs point toward

Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu returns to practice on Thursday / Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid suggested on Wednesday that Tyrann Mathieu could return to practice on Thursday if everything went according to plan. Well, it looks like things went according to plan. - During the portion of Thursday’s practice open to the media, numerous reporters spotted Mathieu back on the field with a helmet. The veteran safety was knocked out of the divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills and placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol. - Mathieu’s return to practice doesn’t necessarily suggest that he has cleared the NFL’s return-to-play protocols. It does mean, however, that he is progressing through the protocols. The fact that he’s practicing is a good sign that he’ll have a chance to play on Sunday in the AFC championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The key today will be for him to make it through a full or limited practice without recurrence of symptoms. - Here are some tweets, pictures and videos about his return to work from members of the local beat: - - Tyrann Mathieu is at Chiefs practice with a helmet today.

What makes bond between Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill so special? / - - - The outstanding trio of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill have combined to win many games for the Kansas City Chiefs over the past four seasons. During the divisional-round win against the Buffalo Bills, fans got to see the trio at their very best. From Hill’s explosive 64-yard touchdown to Kelce choreographing the 13-second drive to the patented Mahomes magic fans have come to know. - The success is apparent while watching the trio play games and the stats jump off the page from each of the three stars. The chemistry they’ve shown isn’t something often seen in the league, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid knows how to utilize it best. - Reid shared his thoughts on the trio’s trust and special abilities during Wednesday’s press conference. - “It’s special,” Reid said of the bond between Mahomes, Kelce and Hill. “All three of them trust each other, and that’s important. They have that innate ability to know where the guy is going to be against whatever leverage the defender has on them. I appreciate that. It’s a fluid game, so you’re going to have to make adjustments, you’re going to have to do it with routes where it’s not going to be perfect like you might see with a card that you’ve drawn up. The other team is playing, too, so you have to maneuver around, and it sure helps to have that chemistry when teams are showing you a bunch of different looks.” - Since assuming the role as starting quarterback in 2018, Mahomes has meshed and enhanced the abilities of his star targets. Hill and Kelce were already thriving in the offense with Alex Smith at quarterback, but their success multiplied with Mahomes under center. The former league MVP opened up about his relationship with the All-Pro duo. - “Yeah, it just takes a lot of reps,” Mahomes said. “Just going out there and seeing a lot of different coverages, the good thing about being in this offense with the guys that we have is we’ve seen possibly every coverage you could see. Guys have seen those; they recognize those on the field, and they know how to get themselves open within the system of the offense. I think that’s what you see even on the play to Travis (Kelce). He knew what the other guys had on the play, so he knew that he could do that; he could go down the seam and get the catch. You have to able to not only know what you have but know what everybody else in the entire offense has. That just comes with guys that know the offense and run it the right way.” - The Chiefs head into their fourth straight AFC championship game as the host team sets a new NFL record.

Chiefs LB Nick Bolton says team is 'ready' for rematch vs. Bengals / - - - After the Kansas City Chiefs dropped a key game to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, few envisioned a rematch of the top teams in the playoffs. - Now just days prior to the AFC title game for all the marbles, the Chiefs are favored by a touchdown over a team they lost to during the regular season. Rookie linebacker Nick Bolton told reporters on Wednesday that Kansas City is primed and ready for the rematch. - After the first game between the two teams, Bolton expects the defense will need to put up an exceptional effort if the Chiefs are to get to their third-straight Super Bowl. Bolton spoke specifically about how the team had learned from the previous loss and looks to rebound with new knowledge to secure the win in an elimination game against such a capable opponent. - “It’s one of the biggest challenges that we’ve had playing this team,” Bolton said. “Quarterback’s playing outstanding, great under pressure, great getting out of the pocket. Three wide receivers, all of them do something a little bit special for the team. They’re all great pass catchers running after the catch, and also the running back, All-Pro running back. So, he’s good at making guys miss, jump cuts, cutbacks and bouncing off of blocks. He does it all, catching balls out of the backfield for them as well.” - The rookie is specifically dialed in on five key difference-makers on the Bengals’ offense. He knows he’ll have to match their mojo if the defense is to slow down Cincinnati. - “So, like I said, that’s five people on their offense for sure that come out and execute at a very high level,” Bolton continued. “Joe Mixon, Joe Burrow and the three wide receivers of course. That’s what we’re up for and we’re ready.” - Bolton’s confidence is admirable, but it’ll take more than words to defeat the upstart Bengals squad which might be the hottest team remaining in the entire playoff bracket. With Tyrann Mathieu’s presence on defense in limbo after he sustained a concussion in the effort against the Buffalo Bills, players like Bolton will need to step up and make their presence felt against an offense that lit them up earlier in the season. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire feeling healthy, fresh ahead of AFC championship game / The Kansas City Chiefs are consistently praised

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire feeling healthy, fresh ahead of AFC championship game / The Kansas City Chiefs are consistently praised for the dynamic passing game led by Patrick Mahomes. An often-overlooked factor in the team’s success is the running game providing positive yards and keeping opposing defense’s off-balance. - The versatility of Clyde Edwards-Helaire made him an excellent fit for the Chiefs offense since being selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. The former LSU running back has been very productive in his first two years with the Chiefs when he’s on the field and healthy, but those opportunities have been few and far between. - For instance, Edwards-Helaire wasn’t available during Week 17’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals due to a shoulder injury. He spoke with the media on Wednesday about the frustration of missing key games. - “I would say for some people, it might have been frustrating,” said Edwards-Helaire. “But I would just say it’s one of those things that comes with the game. I wouldn’t say a freak accident, but one I wasn’t really expecting to happen at the time and how it did happen. It’s just one of those injuries that I really didn’t know what was going on at the time, but once we were able to diagnose what was going on, as you said, it was the last two games of the season, we handled it how we needed to handle it and able to get me back in for this second round of playoffs.” - Edwards-Helaire was also out for the wild-card round victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers but returned last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. He rushed for 60 yards on seven carries, averaging 8.6 yards per rush, playing just 23 snaps. As healthy and energetic as he looked in the win, Edwards-Helaire knows he still isn’t 100 percent, and neither is any player on any team playing on championship Sunday. - “I would say nobody’s 100 percent, but I would just say having that fire of really not playing,” Edwards-Helaire said. “Everybody would say fresh when I came back from the knee injury, that was the first thing everybody was saying, but I come in day in, day out and still do the cardio and still doing all the work I needed to do those weeks in order to be on the field. . . Just sitting down on my back and chilling didn’t expose that, being able to do those things in between the lines when I needed to; the things that aren’t seen on TV kind of made me look the way I look. So, it was a lot of hard work that went into looking as good as I did.” - The Chiefs hope that Edwards-Helaire has a fresh day on Sunday as they look to defeat the Bengals en route to a third straight Super Bowl appearance. They’ll need him at his best if they’re to have their best chance at winning. - - List -

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' heart rate data from thrilling win over Bills / The metrics of the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs are still coming out this week. - Advanced fitness and health wearable company WHOOP, which has been tracking Patrick Mahomes’ heart rate all season, shared insights into the star quarterback’s remarkable performance with new data sets released on Wednesday. In WHOOP’s release, they noted that Mahomes’ heart rate spiked at some interesting moments in the game, and referenced a tweet from the quarterback’s trainer: - - @PatrickMahomes heart rate during game and my heart rate watching the game @whoop pic.twitter.com/15CYLSvmro - — Bobby Stroupe (@bobbystroupe) January 26, 2022 - - - “[As] shared by Mahomes’ trainer Bobby Stroupe on Twitter, Mahomes’ [heart rate] spiked when he was on the sideline watching Buffalo make their game-changing plays, and then also immediately after Mahomes made his clutch plays. His HR was low in the huddle and pre-snap, allowing his body and mind to be in a clear ‘flow state’ – helping him be at his best with the game on the line.” - WHOOP went on to break the numbers down further, detailing some of the key moments by the numbers on their monitor: - - Average heart rate: 144 beats per minute (bpm). - Peak heart rate: 191 bpm during his first-quarter rushing TD. - Low heart rate: 79 bpm. - - From 8:27 pm (1:54 left in the game) to 8:55 pm, Mahomes’ heart rate never dipped below 144 bpm. On Mahomes’ 64-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill (1:02 left in the game), his heart rate spike to 171 bpm when the Chiefs took a 33-29 lead. When the Bills took the 36-33 lead (13 seconds remaining) Mahomes’ heart rate was in the ‘flow state’ again. However, when Harrison Butker kicked the game-tying field goal, Mahomes’ heart rate shot up to 162 bpm. - Whoop also included Mahomes’ physical output and strain during the win, right down to the number of calories burned in the masterful performance. - “In total, Mahomes’ activity strain during the game was 18.8 with 2,347 calories burned, and his day strain was 20.4 (on a 0-21 scale). Over the 28 minutes of real-time spanning the frantic end of regulation and OT, his average heart rate was nearly 160 bpm.” - If there was any doubt that Mahomes left it all on the field against Buffalo, the numbers certainly seem to point toward full exertion in a remarkable effort to win one of the toughest matchups of his career. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - -

Prices for Chiefs AFC championship game tickets have surged since 2018 / If you’re looking head to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for the AFC championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals you’ll be paying a pretty penny. - According to our friends at ticketIQ, the average ticket price on the secondary market is $1,034. The cheapest get-in ticket is currently listed at $536. The most expensive ticket that you’ll find listed is $5,901. The most expensive ticket sold so far was section 119 Row 2 at the 50 yard line, which went for $8512. - The get-in price is lower than it was in 2020, mainly because the conference championship game saw reduced capacity crowds amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Those get-in tickets for the Chiefs-Bills AFC championship game in 2020 reached $883 with crowds of around 17,000. - The last full capacity AFC championship game was the Chiefs’ thrilling win over the Tennessee Titans in the 2019-20 playoffs. The get-in ticket prices on the secondary market for those games were just $227. That means that the get-in ticket prices for the upcoming game against the Bengals have more than doubled since the last full capacity AFC championship game. - Going back to the first AFC championship game the team ever hosted against the New England Patriots in the 2018-19 season, get-in tickets were just $165. Those tickets were nearly a fourth of the price than the current tickets against the Bengals. - Based on ticketIQ’s tracking, the prices for this AFC title game have increased as much as 70% since just before kickoff for the Chiefs-Bills divisional round game on Sunday. They currently have this game ranked as the fourth-most expensive conference championship game since 2011. - Historically, ticket prices dip later in the week, but that didn’t happen last season. With prices higher than they’ve ever been with full capacity crowds, don’t expect those prices to decline by much as we inch closer towards Sunday. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bengals, AFC championship game - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow expecting Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium to be 'really loud' / - - - Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow spoke about crowd noise at Arrowhead Stadium on Wednesday as his team begins preparations for the AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs. - Burrow has been taking some heat on social media for an old quote about NFL crowd noise from back when he faced the Baltimore Ravens in late October. Burrow said, “It gets way louder in the SEC than in any of these NFL stadiums.” - Ahead of his first trip to Arrowhead Stadium — the Guinness Book of World Records holder for the loudest crowd roar in a sports stadium — Burrow revisited his thoughts on crowd noise. - “In the SEC, it seems every single week like every stadium is really loud,” Burrow said on Monday. “There are hundreds of thousands of people. This one is going to be similar. We’re expecting it to be really loud, we talked about it throughout the week. We’re going to have to be great with our communication, our non-verbal communication, just like every week on the road.” - Burrow isn’t the only one who needs to worry about the noise. The Bengals’ offensive line, which has been subject to much scrutiny, has been called for 16 false start penalties so far this season. 11 of those penalties have come on the road, tied for the sixth-most among NFL teams. Communication, as Burrow says, will be the key not just for him and the skill players, but also the offensive line. If the crowd noise leads to some false start penalties, it could be a long day for the Cincinnati offense. - Chiefs fans will likely take Burrow’s comments as a challenge to one-up themselves in terms of crowd noise. They like being recognized as the loudest and most hostile environment in the league for opponents. - Still, Burrow doesn’t seem to be phased by the idea of playing on the road in a hostile environment. He’s drawing on his experience in the SEC, which may or may not be comparable. We’ll find out the answer to that on Sunday. - - List - - Here are steps for Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu to clear NFL's concussion protocol - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - -

Chiefs' Creed Humphrey, Trey Smith, Nick Bolton named to PFWA All-Rookie Team / The Pro Football Writers of America continue to announce their on-field awards for the 2021 NFL season. - Accredited writers covering all 32 NFL teams have voted on their annual All-Rookie Team. Three rookies of the Kansas City Chiefs have been recognized among the best at their position in their inaugural season in the NFL. The Chiefs tied the Cleveland Browns and the Miami Dolphins for the teams with the most rookies selected to All-Rookie Team. - Teammates in the trenches, Chiefs’ second-round draft pick Creed Humphrey and sixth-round draft pick Trey Smith were both recognized among the best rookies at their respective positions. Humphrey was the only center selected while Smith joined New York Jets LG Alijah Vera-Tucker. Humphrey and Smith became just the third pair of Chiefs teammates to start every single game of their rookie season. They both excelled in the running game and the passing game to cement what has been one of the best offensive lines in the league. - On the defensive side of the ball, rookie LB Nick Bolton joined Humphrey and Smith. He was one of three linebackers named to the All-Rookie team alongside Brown LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah and Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons. Bolton appeared in 16 games for the Chiefs this season, starting in 12 of those games. He led the Chiefs in tackles (112) and tackles for loss (11). - 2021 has proved to be one of the best draft classes from Kansas City in recent memory. Bolton, Smith and Humphrey are sure to be foundational pieces for the team for a long time. - - List - - 3 Chiefs players named to PFWA All-AFC Team, none to All-NFL Team - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Updated Chiefs 2022 NFL draft picks after Bears' hiring of Ryan Poles / The Kansas City Chiefs will receive draft

Updated Chiefs 2022 NFL draft picks after Bears' hiring of Ryan Poles / The Kansas City Chiefs will receive draft pick compensation for the Chicago Bears’ hiring of front office executive Ryan Poles for their general manager vacancy. - In November of 2020, the NFL approved its plan to reward teams for developing minority head coaching and general manager candidates. Teams that lose a minority assistant coach or personnel executive who becomes a head coach or general manager for another team receive third-round compensatory picks in each of the next two drafts. That means Kansas City will receive a third-round pick in 2022 and a third-round pick in 2023 (the year they host the draft). They could earn an additional third-round pick if Eric Bieniemy were to land a job as a head coach this offseason. - Remember, the Chiefs also sent a 2022 conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Steelers for Melvin Ingram. They also traded another sixth-round draft pick to the Minnesota Vikings in the Mike Hughes trade, acquiring a seventh-round draft pick in the process. The sixth-round expected to be sent to Pittsburgh was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in the Orlando Brown Jr. trade. - With all of that in mind here is a look at the draft picks that the Chiefs currently hold in the 2022 NFL draft: - - Round 1, Pick ?? (No. 32 if the season ended today based on playoffs seeding) - Round 2, Pick ?? - Round 3, Pick ?? - Round 3, Pick ?? (Compensatory pick for Ryan Poles) - Round 4, Pick ?? - Round 7, Pick ?? (via Minnesota in Mike Hughes trade) - Round 7, Pick ?? - Round 7, Pick ?? (Las Vegas via New England in Yasir Durant trade) - - As of today, Kansas City has two dozen players scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency at the onset of the new league year on March 16. They’ll have to do some work in the draft to grab some players to help replace some of those losses. - Don’t be surprised to see Brett Veach manufacture some trades with these picks, even possibly trading their late first-rounder for a proven veteran as he did last season. Six seems to be the sweet spot for Veach, as he’s selected just six players each year dating back to his first NFL draft running the front office in 2018. - - List - - One free agent each NFL team should want to sign in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our

Bears expected to hire Chiefs executive Ryan Poles as their next general manager / The Chicago Bears are expected to hire Kansas City Chiefs front office executive Ryan Poles to be their next general manager. - According to a new report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Bears are in the process of finalizing a deal to hire Poles. A finalist in multiple general manager searches, Chicago had good reason to get a deal done with Poles as soon as possible. He was scheduled to meet with their NFC North opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, on Wednesday. Locking him up now ensures that the Vikings won’t get a chance to make him a better offer. - Poles, 36, has been working in the Chiefs’ front office for over a decade. He began as a scouting assistant under Scott Pioli. He worked his way up to Director of College Scouting under John Dorsey and most recently filled the role of Executive Director of Player Personnel under Brett Veach. His ability to identify quality players in the draft and free agency has helped this team assemble its championship foundation. - - Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Chiefs’ Assistant Director of Player Personnel Ryan Poles as their next general manager, per league sources. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 25, 2022 - - - Under the NFL’s new rules for developing minority coaching and front office candidates, the Chiefs will receive draft pick compensation for Poles’ departure. They’ll receive a third-round compensatory pick in both the upcoming 2022 NFL draft and the 2023 NFL draft, which Kansas City will host. The Chiefs could be subject to an additional third-round draft pick if Eric Bieniemy goes on to become a head coach this offseason as well. - - List - - One free agent each NFL team should want to sign in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman eager to make every opportunity count in playoffs / Third-year receiver Mecole Hardman has seen a late-season renaissance in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, providing a unique edge in both the running and passing games with his electric skillset. Inconsistency has plagued the early part of his career, but the recent turn of fortunes has bought Hardman plenty of goodwill with fans. He’s seemingly blossomed into the player many saw at the University of Georgia when the Chiefs drafted him. - After seeing his role on offense and special teams diminish following a slow start to his 2021 campaign, Hardman brought a lunch-pail mentality to earning back some of the trust he lost with silly mistakes. That mentality seems to be paying off with a significant number of looks in key situations during the playoffs when Kansas City needs him most. - Hardman told reporters ahead of practice on Monday that he is pleased with the action he has seen so far and looks forward to making good on as many chances as the coaching staff is willing to give him. - “I’m just happy to get opportunities and get a chance to touch the football and make plays happen,” Hardman said. “When he dials up things up like the jet sweeps or the pop passes or the screen plays or anything to get me the ball quickly, I enjoy those moments. I know when I get the ball, I can make things happen in hurry. I’m happy he’s allowing me to be part of this team and be part of the game plan to help this team out and giving me opportunities. As long as he does that, I’m going to just make sure that he’s right by giving me those opportunities. I’m going to just take advantage and just have fun with it and do what I need to do when I get the ball.” - Hardman certainly made the most of his opportunities in the divisional round In need of a score late in the third quarter, Hardman took a jet sweep that looked to be bottled up by Bills defenders. Hardman exploded through four defenders untouched for a 25-yard rushing score. - - Dots dots dots on Hardman's touchdown. As confusing as the actual play. pic.twitter.com/OZMQ5AQ3LD - — Seth Walder (@SethWalder) January 24, 2022 - - - If Hardman can keep building on the momentum gained through the two stellar postseason games he has played in this season, the Chiefs’ offense could be nearly unstoppable. Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill command the majority of defensive attention, which opens up opportunities for others to shine. As long as fumbles, drops, and pre-snap miscues don’t become an issue in key situations moving forward, it would seem Hardman is back in the driver’s seat in his effort to become Kansas City’s next superstar. - - List - - 3 Chiefs players named to PFWA All-AFC Team, none to All-NFL Team

Chiefs K Harrison Butker went into 'Robot Mode' on kick that forced overtime vs. Bills / When the Kansas City

Chiefs K Harrison Butker went into 'Robot Mode' on kick that forced overtime vs. Bills / When the Kansas City Chiefs had their backs to the wall with just seconds remaining in the divisional round win, kicker Harrison Butker answered the call for greatness, nailing a 49-yard field goal to send the game to overtime. - One of the most clutch kicks of his career, a miss would’ve delivered the Buffalo Bills a second-straight AFC championship berth. Instead, the made three-point play doomed the underdog Bills when Kansas City won the overtime coin toss. - For Butker it was just another feather in his cap, though. He understands the importance of every opportunity he gets to put points on the board. He didn’t want to make the kick any bigger than it was after missing a field and PAT earlier in the game. Butker told reporters on Monday that he gets into a robotic state of mind, especially when the pressure is on. - “I try to be like a robot,” Butker said. “Every kick is a big kick. I have different mental cues that I go through, different things that I do on the sideline to prepare me for each kick. As a kicker, the more you start thinking about the magnitude of the kick, what’s on the line, well then is that going to help you make the kick? Probably not. So, I think ‘what can I do right now in this moment to help improve the chances of me making this kick?’ I can work on my steps, I can go through my mental cues, I can make sure my ball contact is good in the net, I can visualize the ball going through. - “I can do all those things and then go out there, give it my best shot. Thankfully it went through, but it’s not until after the game you’re thinking wow, you know if I had missed that kick our season would be over and obviously, we have aspirations to go to our third Super Bowl in a row and win our second with this Coach Reid coached up team. You can’t think about all those things and I just really try to stay in my zone and focus on what I can control and execute to the best of my ability.” - Whatever helps the fifth-year veteran stay consistent for two more games will work just fine for fans who want the Chiefs to continue their run of dominance in big games this season. Butker has a unique role on a team that prides itself on its ability to put up as many points are needed to secure wins, and if the game against Buffalo was any indication, Kansas City can count on him to hit the kicks that matter most. - - List - - Chiefs release updated depth chart for AFC championship game - - - - - - - -

Chiefs executive Ryan Poles to have finalist GM interviews with Bears, Vikings / Kansas City Chiefs Executive Director of Player Personnel Ryan Poles was a finalist for the New York Giants GM job. While he was passed over for that job, he remains a finalist for two other general manager openings in the NFL. - According to reports from both NFL Network and ESPN, Poles is set for second interviews with both the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings. He’ll interview a second time for the Bears job on Tuesday. He also has a second interview with the Vikings scheduled for Wednesday, should he make it to that interview. - Right now, it very much feels like Poles will have his pick of the two jobs and will land with whoever can make him a better offer. - - Sounds like it’ll be the #Bears on Tuesday and the #Vikings on Wednesday for Ryan Poles — a finalist for both open NFC North GM jobs. https://t.co/TmiE6Lq4b1 - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 22, 2022 - - - Poles has climbed up the front office ranks in Kansas City, starting his career off as a Player Personnel Assistant under Scott Pioli. He was the Chiefs’ Director of College Scouting back in 2017, the year the team traded up to draft Patrick Mahomes. Most recently, he was entrusted with helping Kansas City rebuild their offensive line as Executive Director of Player Personnel. - Whether Poles ends up in Chicago or Minnesota doesn’t matter in the long run. He’s now been a finalist candidate four times dating back to last season when he was a finalist with the Carolina Panthers. Chiefs fans should be rooting for him to land a job, especially if it puts him in charge of a head-coaching search. That could put OC Eric Bieniemy in the driver’s seat to land a job as well. - Another reason fans should be rooting for Poles is because of the NFL’s new rules related to developing minority coaching candidates and executives. Kansas City would receive draft pick compensation in the third round for the next two seasons if Poles were to become a general manager. - - List - - 3 takeaways from Chiefs' divisional-round win over Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes audibled for Travis Kelce to improvise at end of regulation / With just 13 seconds to go, the Chiefs needed to get into field goal range to have a chance to send the game to overtime. - After a quick catch and run from Tyreek Hill, Kansas City called a timeout with 8 seconds left on the clock. They broke the huddle and lined up before Buffalo called a timeout. The ensuing play they had called didn’t require Travis Kelce to go up the seam and split the Bills’ defense, but after seeing how Buffalo had lined up, that’s exactly what Kelce decided to do. - “He wasn’t necessarily supposed to do that,” Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said. “But after the (Bills) timeout, we got a look at what the defense was doing, and he actually said it to me, ‘If they do it again, I’m going to take it down the middle between both the guys guarding me.’ And he went up the field, I gave him the ball and he got into field goal range.” - With the enhanced sound bite, you can hear Mahomes giving Kelce the go-ahead to improvise his route just before the snap. - “Do it, Kels! Do it, do it, Kels!” Mahomes yelled. Kelce took it up the middle, got the reception and put the Chiefs in field goal range. - Listen below: - - "DO IT": Isolated and enhanced pic.twitter.com/7MKfHa9BzD - — Kali Mahomes (@ClayWendler) January 24, 2022 - - - “It was just a little backyard football,” Kelce said after the game. - That backyard football, that unmatched chemistry between Mahomes and Kelce, is what ultimately allowed the Chiefs to run away with a 42-36 divisional-round win over the Buffalo Bills.

Chiefs to waive WR Josh Gordon from 53-man roster / After two consecutive games where he was a healthy scratch, the Kansas City Chiefs are releasing WR Josh Gordon from the 53-man roster. - According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chiefs intend to re-sign Gordon to the practice squad if he clears waivers. The NFL’s rules in the postseason allow all teams to submit a waiver claim for Gordon, but the transaction would not process until the conclusion of the postseason. - Given that Gordon is only on a one-year deal in Kansas City, he’s unlikely to be claimed. Gordon truly never caught on or got comfortable with the offense in Kansas City after joining the team a few games into the season. - - The #Chiefs are waiving WR Josh Gordon — who has been inactive — but plan to re-sign him to the practice squad if he clears, per source. - Because Gordon was on the 53-man roster for 8 games, he’ll get the same playoff check plus a practice squad check for rest of the playoffs. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 24, 2022 - - - Should Gordon return to the practice squad, he’ll receive the same playoff pay as he would on the 53-man roster. That’s because he was on the 53-man roster for eight games. - If Gordon isn’t elevated to the 53-man roster in the postseason, he’ll have finished the year with 12 games played and seven starts. During that span, he recorded just 5 catches on 14 targets for 32 yards and one touchdown. - One reason the Chiefs could be releasing Gordon is that they have two transactions they’ll need to make this upcoming week. Both DT Khalen Saunders and CB Chris Lammons must be activated from IR by Tuesday, Jan. 25 or they’ll remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the postseason. - - List - - Chiefs stock watch: Which players impressed during divisional round vs. Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs open as touchdown favorites over Bengals in AFC championship game / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs advanced to host the AFC championship game for the fourth consecutive season after an exciting overtime win against the Buffalo Bills. They’ll get a Week 17 rematch with the Cincinnati Bengals for the right to the Lamar Hunt Trophy and to represent the AFC conference in Super Bowl LVI. - According to Tipico Sportsbook, Kansas City will be a 7.5-point favorite over Cincinnati with an over/under point total of 54.5 points scored. The money line is -320 for the Chiefs and +250 for the Bengals. Kansas City is 10-9 against the spread through the postseason, while Cincinnati is 12-7 against the spread. - The Bengals lead the all-time series against the Chiefs 16-14 dating back to their first meeting in 1968. The most recent game the two teams played was back in Week 17, which was a 34-31 loss for Kansas City. The game saw some poor defensive play in the secondary from the Chiefs and some questionable officiating, but they were still in the game down to the very end. It took a last-second field goal by Bengals K Evan McPherson to put the game on ice for Cincinnati. - The big difference between Week 17 and the AFC championship game will be the location. The first contest was played at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. This time, Joe Burrow will have to keep himself poised in front of the roaring crowd at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. He’s no stranger to big moments after winning a national championship at LSU, but this is an entirely different beast. - That said, with Burrow on one side and Patrick Mahomes on the other, this is sure to be a shootout of epic proportions. - - List - - 3 takeaways from Chiefs' divisional-round win over Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce now owns most postseason TDs in franchise history / - - Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes wasn’t the only one breaking records on Sunday night. - After scoring the game-winning touchdown in overtime, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce now has 11 career postseason touchdowns. That number is good for the most ever by any player in franchise history, ousting former Chiefs RB Damien Williams who was tied with Kelce for the lead at 10. - Here is a look at the postseason leaderboard for Kansas City after this game: - - Travis Kelce: 11 TDs - Damien Williams: 10 TDs - Tyreek Hill & Patrick Mahomes (tie): 5 TDs - Marcus Allen, Mike Garrett, Knile Davis and Byron Pringle (tie): 3 TDs - - The 10 touchdowns for Williams are still super impressive because he did so in five career games. By comparison, it took Kelce 14 career games to get to 11 touchdowns. - Kelce is one step closer to tying former Steelers great John Stallworth for the third-most postseason touchdown receptions in NFL history. He needs one touchdown in next week’s game to tie Stallworth’s 12 career receiving touchdowns. Kelce also needs four more touchdowns to tie Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski for the most postseason touchdowns by a tight end in NFL history. - Another leaderboard that Kelce is moving up is the all-time postseason receptions list. He now has 96 receptions in the postseason which is good for the fourth-most in NFL history. He trails only Gronkowski (98), Julian Edelman (118) and Jerry Rice (151). - It’s just another weekly reminder from Kelce that he’s the best to ever do it, postseason and otherwise. - - List - - Best Twitter reactions from Chiefs' divisional-round victory over Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

What did Andy Reid say to Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes with 13 seconds remaining? / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick

What did Andy Reid say to Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes with 13 seconds remaining? / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes might have a new nickname after the divisional-round playoff win against the Buffalo Bills. - With 13 seconds remaining and a three-point Buffalo lead, Kansas City’s chances of tying the game up looked extraordinarily slim. Before Mahomes took the field at his own 25-yard line, Chiefs HC Andy Reid imparted some wisdom to his star quarterback. - “When it’s grim, be the grim reaper and go get it,” Reid said to Mahomes - What happened next would lead to one of the most exciting postseason finishes in NFL history. Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill for a 19-yard reception and called a timeout. The Bills took a look at what K.C. came out in on the following play and took a timeout. Mahomes would then find Travis Kelce for a 25-yard reception. They’d call a timeout with just three seconds remaining. That was good enough to get into Harrison Butker’s field goal range. - In the totality of those 13 seconds, Mahomes became the ‘grim reaper’ for the Bills’ playoff hopes. - “So, he did that,” Reid said of Mahomes. “He made everyone around him better, which he is great at. He just does it effortlessly. When it gets tough, he’s going to be there battling and players appreciate that.” - Just as Mahomes makes all the players around him better, Reid’s comments like the one that he made to Mahomes also make the players better. - “Yeah, I mean, (Andy Reid) shoots us confidence,” Mahomes explained. “Everybody on this team, he keeps bringing you confidence. Week in and week out, every single day. That’s what he said to me and he talked to everybody. He said, ‘Hey, we’re going to get in field goal range. We’re going to get points.’ I mean, he truly believes in it. When your coach believes in you that much, it gives you the belief to go out there and do it and execute it. That’s what we did today.” - This mutual belief in one another has long been something the Chiefs have leaned on, even dating back to their improbable 2019 playoff run. That confidence in one another speaks to the culture that Reid has created in Kansas City. - While the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium may have been stunned, never did Mahomes doubt that they were going to tie up the game. He exuded complete confidence and kept telling his teammates, “We’re going to go get in field goal range.” - “That’s all we could do at that moment was find a way to get in field goal range,” Mahomes said. “And we had that belief — we had a belief that we were going to do it. Take it back to the year we lost the AFC championship game we got in field goal range in like 18 seconds or something like that. You have to have that belief.” - Not

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes now has most passing TDs through 10 playoff games / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes now has most passing TDs through 10 playoff games / Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes continues to crush NFL pace records, and the postseason is no different. - Mahomes made his tenth career postseason start against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC’s divisional round in what is just his fourth year as a starter. After throwing for three passing touchdowns against the Bills on Sunday, Mahomes now has the 25 career passing touchdowns in his first 10 playoff games. That number is good for the most career passing touchdowns by a QB through their first 10 playoff games in NFL history. He passed a Hall of Famer (Kurt Warner) and a future Hall of Famer (Drew Brees) who were both tied for the top spot through 10 playoff games with 23 touchdowns. - Our friend Jeff Kerr at CBS shared a tweet about this earlier in the week: - - Most career pass TD in first 10 playoff games — #NFL history - T1. Drew Brees — 23T1. Kurt Warner — 23T3. Patrick Mahomes — 22*T3. Dan Marino — 22 - Mahomes plays his 10th playoff game on Sunday. #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/VrLDHelyro - — Jeff Kerr (@JeffKerrCBS) January 21, 2022 - - - Mahomes has also passed former Cowboys QB Troy Aikman, former Cowboys QB Roger Staubach and former Eagles QB Donovan McNabb to throw for the 13th-most postseason passing touchdowns in NFL history. He is now tied with Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco. Here’s a look at the top 16 per Pro Football Reference: - - Tom Brady: 85 - Joe Montana: 45 - Aaron Rodgers: 45 (tie) - Brett Favre: 44 - Peyton Manning: 40 - Drew Brees: 37 - Ben Roethlisberger: 36 - Dan Marino: 32 - Kurt Warner: 31 - Terry Bradshaw: 30 - John Elway: 27 - Joe Flacco: 25 - Russell Wilson: 25 (tie) - Patrick Mahomes: 25 (tie) - Donovan McNabb: 24 - Roger Staubach: 24 (tie) - - At only 26 years old, Mahomes is doing things in the postseason that we’ve never seen before. It’s taken other players their entire career to even get to the point that Mahomes is at in terms of postseason play. His career is still in its infancy and it rivals that of Hall of Fame players. It’s just another reminder of how blessed Chiefs fans are to be witnessing such a great player at the helm of their franchise. - - List - - Instant analysis of Chiefs' divisional-round win over Bills - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the

After missing Week 5, here is what Chris Jones did to prepare to face Bills / The Kansas City Chiefs

After missing Week 5, here is what Chris Jones did to prepare to face Bills / The Kansas City Chiefs are ready to face off against the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs for the second consecutive year at Arrowhead Stadium. Last year they took on the Bills in the AFC championship game before punching their ticket to Super Bowl LV. That wasn’t the last time these two teams played, though. - The two teams clashed during Week 5 of the regular season, with Buffalo dominating Kansas City’s defense in the 38-20 victory. The Chiefs had several pieces missing on that side of the ball, but none was more significant than Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones. He missed the game back in October due to a nagging wrist injury severely limiting Kansas City’s pressure on Bills quarterback Josh Allen. They recorded their worst single-game pass-rushing grade of the season (49.6) without Jones on the field according to Pro Football Focus. - The Chiefs will have a more confident and competent defensive unit this Sunday with Jones in the lineup, and his absence from the previous game hasn’t been forgotten. Jones explained that it impacted his game preparation at Friday’s press conference. - “Yeah, it’s very emotional when you’re not playing regardless of who you’re playing especially big games like that,” Jones told reporters. “So, I went back and viewed the game a couple of times and see what types of adjustments we could have made and where I would’ve been on certain plays and try to make sure that this game coming up, I can be effective in some type of way and not have the critical mistakes we made last game.” - In Jones’ absence, the Chiefs defense surrendered 436 net yards and four total touchdowns to Allen and the Bills offense. Even had Jones played, the team hadn’t yet moved him back to his natural position at defensive tackle either. This time around, Jones adds his unique brand of energy, plus production. He recorded nine sacks and 65 total pressures during the course of the 2021 NFL season. He’s sure to be an intimidating opponent that Buffalo will need to gameplan against in order to find success. - - List - - Predictions for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for

Chiefs LB Anthony Hitchens on emergence of Bills RB Devin Singletary / The NFL division round gets underway this weekend, with the Kansas City Chiefs hosting a familiar foe in the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. - The primetime match-up will feature plenty of star players on both teams, each with a healthy respect for what the other brings to the table. The names Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen will naturally draw the most attention for this game, but it’s likely the game could be decided by the defenses for each team. - Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitchens is one of the unit’s veterans and was on the field during the Week 5 loss against Buffalo earlier this season. Devin Singletary saw just six carries for 25 yards in that game and played second fiddle to Zack Moss. Singletary has since emerged as a much bigger threat and was the focus of Hitchens’ evaluations during Friday’s press conference. - “Yeah I think that they do a good job of sharing their carries between 20 (Zach Moss) and 26 (Devin Singletary) and Josh Allen, 17, so they do a good job with those three guys and just sharing the ball and getting different guys,” Hitchens said. “I think there’s an element to feeding the hot hand. Singletary has been hot lately, they’ve been feeding him. At the end of the day, we’re going to have to stop the run and make them one-dimensional and make them just pass the ball. I know Josh Allen is a great quarterback and he can throw it, but our chances increase when we make it one-dimensional.” - The Bills running game has evolved considerably over the season, which has opened more opportunities down the field for their receivers. Singletary led the team in rushing during the regular season with 870 yards and seven touchdowns and has been the hot hand lately. Hitchens and company know they must slow him down if they’re to give their secondary the best chance to stop Allen, Stefon Diggs and the rest of the Buffalo receiving corps. - - List - - Behind Enemy Lines: 5 questions with Bills Wire for divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly

Chiefs host Bengals if they beat Bills, advance to AFC championship game / The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills are now playing for the right to host the AFC championship game. - The No. 1 seeded Tennessee Titans fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the early divisional round game on Saturday. That means the Bengals will travel to face whoever wins the divisional round game between the Chiefs and Bills on Sunday. A win by K.C. would mean that they’d host the AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium for the fourth consecutive time. - Kansas City faced Cincinnati back in Week 17 of the regular season in what was one of the most frustrating losses for the team this season. The 34-31 loss was marred by poor officiating, but there was also a complete defensive failure to cover Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase. He had one of the best days by a receiver in NFL history with 11 receptions for 266 yards and three touchdowns. That game, however, was played in Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium. This time around the Bengals would be on the road playing in Kansas City. - Surprisingly, the Chiefs have never played the Bengals in the postseason before. They’ve played every other AFC North team in the postseason, but never Cincinnati. A chance to get some postseason revenge en route to Super Bowl LVI would be a storybook ending for Kansas City. It’d also begin to prop up a nice rivalry between the Joe Burrow-led Bengals and the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs. - First things first, though. The Chiefs must take care of business against a confident and scorching-hot Bills team on Sunday night. - - List - - Predictions for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs make a single roster move ahead of divisional round vs. Bills / The Kansas City Chiefs have made a single roster move on Saturday ahead of their divisional-round tilt with the Buffalo Bills. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Saturday, the Chiefs have elevated WR Daurice Fountain from the practice squad via standard elevation. This is the second consecutive week they’ve elevated Fountain to the 53-man roster. The NFL’s new rules allow teams to elevate players an unlimited number of times during the playoffs. - Fountain has played in three games between the regular season and postseason for Kansas City. Last week, Fountain was active in the wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, appearing in three snaps on offense and 18 snaps on special teams for Kansas City. In order to make room on the game-day roster that week, Josh Gordon was a healthy scratch. Expect that to be the case this week with Fountain being elevated to the active roster. - While Fountain hasn’t had many contributions on offense this season, he proved he’s capable as a receiver during the preseason, where he was the team’s leading receiver. He also proved that he has good hands for the special teams hands team. He recovered an onside kick during the preseason as well, something that could come into play in a win-or-go-home postseason game. - In other news, the Chiefs did not activate either Chris Lammons or Khalen Saunders from injured reserve. They were both designated to return from IR on the 4th of January. Should K.C. advance to the AFC title game, the team must activate them by Jan. 25 or they’ll remain on IR for the rest of the postseason. - - List - - Behind Enemy Lines: 5 questions with Bills Wire for divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill fined by NFL for pom-pom celebration vs. Steelers / The no-fun league is at it again, this time dishing out a fine for a celebration in the Kansas City Chiefs’ wild-card tilt with the Pittsburgh Steelers. - According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill will be fined nearly $13K for a celebration during last Sunday’s game. After scoring a touchdown against the Steelers, Hill ran to the sideline and swiped a pair of pom-poms from a Chiefs cheerleader before doing a little dance. No flags were thrown on the play, but the league clearly took the fun moment as taunting and sought to enforce the rule after the fact. - - The NFL fined #Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill $12,875 for unsportsmanlike conduct – using a cheerleader’s pom-poms to celebrate his touchdown last week. No flag was thrown. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 22, 2022 - - - Hill’s quarterback did try to save him some money. Patrick Mahomes pulled Hill away from the celebration and back onto the field, but too little too late apparently. - This is the first time a player from Kansas City has been fined since Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, back when two players were fined for taunting. This is also the first time that Hill has been fined this season, which is a bit surprising. - We expected that the NFL’s new emphasis on taunting Hill would fetch more fines from the league. This will likely serve as a reminder that the league is always watching, even if he’s not flagged for a penalty on the field. He’s being a good spot about the situation, though. - - I didn’t see a no letter in my locker doesn’t count https://t.co/7gysCnhGyk - — Ty Hill (@cheetah) January 22, 2022 - - - - List - - Chiefs Playoff Picture: Previewing the NFL's divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Chiefs DL Neil Smith to serve as drum honoree for divisional round / The Kansas City Chiefs have chosen their drum honoree for the divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. - Former Chiefs DL Neil Smith will be the team’s guest of honor on the GEHA Drum Deck on Sunday. He’ll be banging the drum ahead of the game, joining Priest Holmes, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Jared Allen and Anthony Sherman as former players who have returned to serve as drum honoree during the 2021 NFL season and postseason. - The No. 2 overall pick in the 1988 draft by way of Nebraska, Smith spent seven seasons in Kansas City. One of the most feared pass-rushers in franchise history, Smith ranks third all-time with 86.5 sacks, behind only Derrick Thomas and Tamba Hali. The Chiefs came to a crossroads in 1996, having to choose between Thomas and Smith in free agency. Kansas City went with Thomas, while Smith would go on to play for the Denver Broncos from 1997-1999. - Other pregame entertainment will include a national anthem performance from Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Judith Hill.

Referee John Hussey's crew assigned to work Chiefs-Bills game / 7-year veteran NFL referee John Hussey and his crew have been assigned as the officials for the Kansas City Chiefs’ divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills according to Football Zebras. - This would have been the third time the team has pulled Hussey this season, but he didn’t actually officiate back in Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though he was originally assigned to the game. Instead, Ron Torbert was an unscheduled white hat substitution for Hussey at the last minute. Chiefs fans are well aware of how the officiating went in that game. - While Hussey didn’t officiate the Bengals game, a couple of members of his crew did. Side judge Allen Baynes, line judge Carl Johnson and umpire Alan Eck all officiated Week 17 and will be back on the field for the divisional round. The side judge was particularly problematic for Kansas City back in Week 17, so that will be something to watch for this week. The rest of the crew is comprised of members from Brad Allen, Tony Corrente and Shawn Smith’s crews. - The one regular-season game that Hussey’s crew officiated this season was the Chiefs-Cowboys game. That was the game where Clyde Edwards-Helaire received a taunting penalty for whipping out his index finger and pointing. That said, in 16 games this season, Hussey’s crew has called the fourth-fewest penalties at 172. False start (40) and offensive holding (38) have been called at the highest rate with defensive pass interference coming in at a distant third (17). The false start rate is probably a good thing for Sunday, given the roaring Arrowhead Stadium crowd. - Kansas City is 4-2 all-time with Hussey as the referee, while Buffalo is just 3-5 all-time. The only playoff game that Hussey and his crew have officiated for the Chiefs was the 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts back in the 2018-2019 playoffs. - - List - - Final injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides injury updates after Friday practice / The Kansas City Chiefs look to be getting a little healthier in their final practice of the week. - Chiefs HC Andy Reid gave his final injury updates of the week following the conclusion of practice. He told reporters that they had a full house at practice, with the exception of CB Rashad Fenton, who suffered a back injury in pregame warmups against the Pittsburgh Steelers. - “Other than (Rashad) Fenton, everybody else practiced,” Reid said. “Willie (Gay Jr.) was a part of that. I know that’s where we’ll be going here, so you don’t have to. He’s going to play, he was at practice.” - Reid did confirm Willie Gay Jr. would play following his Wednesday night arrest. Expect Fenton to be ruled out for Kansas City, though. - As for the running back situation, Clyde Edwards-Helaire practiced for the third consecutive day. Reid stopped short of saying that he’ll play, only because he hasn’t yet met with head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder to discuss his status. - “You know what, I haven’t met with Rick (Burkholder) after this practice yet,” Reid said. “I’ll get with him. I felt comfortable with (Clyde Edwards-Helaire) practicing today and he did practice full speed and all that. Listen, I’m still recovering from telling you guys he was going to play last week, so I’m not going to say anything until the fish is in the boat.” - Expect that Edwards-Helaire plays against the Bills, short of a new development with his injury situation. - As for Darrel Williams, he returned to practice after missing the first two days of the week. He’s dealing with a toe injury, one that has been dampening his ability to push off. He’ll have a tougher time returning to the field than Edwards-Helaire, only because of his lack of practice this week. - “Yeah, I’d probably tell you the same thing,” Reid said. “He moved around well today, but let me see how he does. He only practiced today, so we’ll see how he does here in the next day, see where he’s at.” - We’ll have injuries and game status designations for you later this afternoon. - - List - - Chiefs release updated depth chart for divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - -

Chiefs HC Andy Reid says Willie Gay Jr. will play vs. Bills / Kansas City Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. won’t miss any time following his Wednesday night arrest for misdemeanor criminal damage. - Chiefs HC Andy Reid spoke to reporters for the first time since Gay’s arrest. He confirmed that Gay practiced on Friday and was slated to play in Sunday’s divisional-round matchup with the Buffalo Bills. - “Other than (Rashad) Fenton, everybody else practiced,” Reid said. “Willie (Gay Jr.) was a part of that. I know that’s where we’ll be going here, so you don’t have to. He’s going to play, he was at practice.” - Gay missed Thursday’s practice as he was arraigned, but he was released from police custody on Thursday afternoon. He was back at practice and will be listed as a full participant on Friday. - Asked how he came to the decision to allow Gay to play, Reid didn’t divulge much information. Simply put, whatever he was told about the incident by Gay and others was enough for him to come to the decision that he should be allowed to play. - “Well, I decided that he’ll play,” Reid said. “I’m not going to get into the conversations (that we’ve had). I’m not going to do that. I decided that after just hearing some of the information there.” - Gay has appeared in 13 games for the Chiefs this season, starting in 12 of them, including last week’s postseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The second-year linebacker has 48 total tackles, one tackle for loss, a half-sack, four passes defended and two interceptions on the year. He could be a vital piece in defending a dual-threat like Bills QB Josh Allen in the divisional round. - - List - - Each team's under the radar player for the divisional round of playoffs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs focused on limiting Bills QB Josh Allen in the running game / The Kansas City Chiefs are all too familiar with how Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen can hurt you with his legs. - Back in Week 5, when the Bills defeated the Chiefs 38-20, Allen was his team’s leading rusher. He carried the ball 11 times for 59 yards and a score. He posterized Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed when he hurdled over him on a second-half carry and juked many others in the win. - In preparation for the rematch in the divisional round of the playoffs, Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has spent a lot of time game-planning and preparing his guys for Allen’s rushing prowess. - “Yeah, we’ve spent a lot of time this week, in the couple of meetings that we’ve had, on how to tackle this quarterback,” Spagnuolo said. “You don’t usually spend that much time talking about tackling a quarterback. But he’s big, he’s strong, he’s got a stiff arm. If you don’t get him down with a couple of guys, he’s already shown that he can break tackles, he extends downs.” - Allen had the third-most rushing yards in the NFL this season with 122 carries for 763 yards and six scores. The defenders in Kansas City know that it’s going to take some extra work, discipline and sacrifice in order to contain him. - “I think he’s a great athlete,” Chiefs S Tyrann Mathieu said. “He’s obviously a guy that can make all the throws, and any time he’s using his legs, it seems like it’s to his advantage. So, it obviously adds extra pressure on the guys that are covering, but it also adds pressure on the guys that are rushing him just to stay in their lanes and not let him break containment and get into open field. But I think anytime he decides to tuck and run the ball, we have to treat him like a running back and treat him like one of these wide receivers where all 11 guys have to pursue and get to the ball. I think it’s going to be one of those games where we’re going to have to tackle him, and we’re going to have to tackle him well.” - For Spagnulo, he’s really focused on thwarting two different types of situations where Allen carries the football. First off, there is the designed quarterback run, where his unit will be at a natural numbers disadvantage. - “Two things — when it’s a designed quarterback run, what happens is, there is an extra blocker for the offense,” Spagnuolo said. “That’s a guy that would normally be carrying the football, but he’s out there blocking for the quarterback. So you have to account for that. So they’re going to have the numbers if you just do the numbers game. Somebody has to beat a block and win a gap, or play two gaps and get off it quick enough to make a tackle.

Giants to hire Bills' Joe Schoen over Chiefs' Ryan Poles for GM vacancy / The New York Giants have a new general manager, but it won’t be Kansas City Chiefs Executive Director of Player Personnel Ryan Poles. - The Giants have announced that they will hire Buffalo Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen to succeed recently-retired GM Dave Gettleman. Schoen was one of three known finalists interviewing for the job along with Poles and San Francisco 49ers assistant GM Adam Peters. - Poles had two interviews with New York before they ultimately landed on Schoen as their next GM. - - Welcome to Big Blue, Joe. We have hired Joe Schoen as our new GM - Details: https://t.co/ZzVE82QHNj pic.twitter.com/aKFgDCq4RS - — New York Giants (@Giants) January 21, 2022 - - - The Giants are the first team with a GM vacancy to hire someone to fill the position and this may speed up the process for the rest of the league. Poles also interviewed once with the Minnesota Vikings for their GM vacancy. Pro Football Network’s Aaron Wilson reports that Poles had an “impressive” interview with Minnesota, so it’s still likely he’s in the running to land that job. They’ve interviewed a total of eight highly-qualified candidates so far. - Schoen landing the job immediately means that Bills OC Brian Daboll and DC Leslie Frazier could be considered head-coaching candidates in New York. That could be a bit of a distraction for Buffalo with the big divisional-round game against Kansas City coming up. - As for Poles, it’s important to remember that if he were to get any GM job, the NFL’s new system for developing minority coaches and personnel executives would apply. That means the Chiefs would be compensated with third-round compensatory picks in each of the next two drafts for his departure. - - List - - Why each team left in the playoffs will or won't win the Super Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs ST coach Dave Toub says Mecole Hardman had his 'best punt return day' vs. Steelers / After posting one

Chiefs ST coach Dave Toub says Mecole Hardman had his 'best punt return day' vs. Steelers / After posting one of the best games of his career as a punt returner for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mecole Hardman seems destined to play a big role on special teams moving forward in the playoffs. - Chiefs ST coordinator Dave Toub commented on the job he did in his media availability on Thursday. After a pair of fumbles early on in the season, Hardman was benched in favor of Mike Hughes. Toub reflected on what Hardman may have learned from watching Hughes as he sat in recent weeks and awaited his opportunity to get back to returning punts. - “Mecole had his best punt return day that he’s had since he’s been here,” Toub said of the third-year receiver. “I mean I know he scored a touchdown in Miami last year, but that day that he had Sunday, he ran tough, he didn’t run out of bounds, he actually cut back into the field, make some people miss. He had a desire not to go down and that’s what you have to have as a punt returner. - “You have to have courage, the desire not to go down and try to make people miss and he ran tough. I was really proud of the way he handled the whole day. Obviously, in the second one, he got the 48-yard return, I mean that was really close to being a score. We got to keep building on that and continue on. We got a few more games left here.” - Hardman gained nearly 70 yards in his best two punt returns against Pittsburgh and flashed some of the big-play ability that got him drafted in the second round. When he plays well, Hardman has proven to be a complimentary piece to both the offense and special teams as a player that is a threat to score any time he has the ball in his hands. - While Hughes took some of the looks Hardman may have gotten earlier in the season, it seems a change of the guard is occurring on special teams, which could mean a breakthrough is coming in his regular duties as a receiver. Hardman’s primary dysfunction through the early stages of his career has always been consistency, and if time spent under Toub can translate to better results in his usual role, he could be a key factor in any further success the Chiefs enjoy in the postseason. - - List - - Thursday injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - -

Eric Bieniemy explains Chiefs' RB situation heading into playoff tilt with Bills / The Kansas City Chiefs are still sorting

Eric Bieniemy explains Chiefs' RB situation heading into playoff tilt with Bills / The Kansas City Chiefs are still sorting out their running back situation ahead of their divisional-round matchup with the Buffalo Bills. - Kansas City has dealt with some injuries at the running back position of their past few weeks, with their top two options at the position dealing with injuries. After two consecutive days where he was a full participant in practice for the first time since Week 15, Chiefs starting RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is trending in the right direction. - Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy wasn’t ready to commit to Edwards-Helaire playing on Sunday, but he knows that the former first-round draft pick will give it his all this week in practice. He also trusts the training staff to make the right call when it comes to his game status. - “First of all, Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) is going to do everything he can to make sure that he can get out there,” Bieniemy told reporters. “But we’re going to let the proper people take care of that, make sure the training staff is handling all that, and I think if it goes well, he’ll do whatever he can to help us if that’s the case. So, when it’s all said and done with, the training room will take care of that.” - With Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams sidelined in the wild-card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team leaned on Jerick McKinnon for the first time this season. Fans feel that his 142 scrimmage yard performance last week has earned him the right to be the starter moving forward. - Andy Reid stopped short of naming McKinnon starter moving forward. Bieniemy also echoed Reid’s sentiments, but he expressed confidence that McKinnon would be prepared for whatever role they put in front of him. - “I thought Jerick (McKinnon) did a heck of a job when he came in,” Bieniemy said. “The only thing that Jerick does is just work, and he’s been the ultimate and consistent professional since he’s been in this league. Obviously, Clyde and Darrel (Williams) were doing a heck of a job, so it’s unfortunate that a kid like that gets buried in the depth chart. But one thing he continues to do, he continues to grind, he continues to work, and so when those opportunities are presented, he finds the way to make sure that he can maximize it and make it the most for him. So, I thought he did a heck of a job last week.” - Bieniemy also praised first-year RB coach Greg Lewis for his ability to manage skill sets and personalities through the ever-changing running back situation in Kansas City. Without his expertise, players like McKinnon wouldn’t be prepared to step in and so seamlessly replace players like Edwards-Helaire and Williams. - “I think Coach Greg Lewis is doing a heck of a job because obviously there is some talent in that room,” Bieniemy continued. “But on top

Broncos to interview Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy for HC job on Friday / The head-coaching circuit begins for Kansas City Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy on Friday. - The Denver Broncos reportedly requested an interview with Bieniemy for their head-coaching vacancy on Jan. 10th. We now know exactly when that interview will be taking place. - Broncos GM George Paton and his hiring committee will be in Kansas City on Friday to interview Bieniemy according to a report from 9 News’ Mike Klis. Bieniemy is the final interview for Denver in a search with 10 known candidates. He’ll get a chance to make the final impression before Paton and the Broncos hiring committee will “regroup” and begin their second round of interviews with their finalist candidates. - - And then after Bieniemy, Paton and his commitee regroup. Source says possibility of 2nd round of interviews with 1 or more candidates is still up in the air. #9sports https://t.co/9gIji7TXmR - — Mike Klis (@mikeklis) January 20, 2022 - - - The Chiefs are set for meetings and practice into Friday afternoon as they prepare to face the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs. After interviewing for 13 head-coaching positions over the past three seasons, Bieniemy has this down to a science. He’s locked in and focused on the task at hand, as he reiterated during Thursday’s media availability. - “I think I would bring a lot to the table,” Bieniemy said of his head-coaching candidacy. “At this particular time, the only thing I’m thinking about is what are we going to do to take care of Buffalo? I think that’s the most important thing. I don’t want to sidetrack anything from what we’re trying to accomplish and what we’re working on this week. . . My job, right now, is to make sure that we stay focused on what’s important and that’s making sure our guys are ready for practice tomorrow.” - After his coaching responsibilities for the day are over, expect the Broncos to conduct their interview with Bieniemy, likely over dinner. Typically, these interviews will last anywhere from 4-5 hours. - - List - - Thursday injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive

Chiefs sign former Browns DE Joe Jackson to practice squad / The Kansas City Chiefs continue to round out the practice squad after releasing several players. This time they’ve added a promising defensive end who sacked Patrick Mahomes earlier this season. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Thursday, the Chiefs have signed DE Joe Jackson to the practice squad. A former fifth-round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys by way of the University of Miami, Jackson was a very consistent player in college. In each of his three seasons at The U, Jackson had over 10.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. - The 25-year-old spent just one season with the team that drafted him, playing just over 70 snaps with Dallas in 2019. He was released at the onset of the 2020 NFL season, which is when the Cleveland Browns claimed him. The 6-4 and 278-pound defensive end bounced back and forth between the practice squad and active roster in his two seasons in Cleveland. - Jackson appeared in 15 games with the Browns, managing 21 total tackles, three tackles for loss, three QB hits, one fumble recovery and 1.5 sacks. He played 10 snaps on defense during Cleveland’s Week 1 matchup with the Chiefs, recording one tackle and one sack during the game. - This is the type of player who can provide the Chiefs with depth throughout the playoffs. Should he stick around beyond the postseason, he’s also someone who could develop into a key rotational piece on the defensive line during the offseason. - After adding Jackson, along with DT Andrew Billings and OT Roderick Johnson, the practice squad in Kansas City has 15-of-16 spots filled for the postseason. - - List - - Thursday injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs sign former Raiders first-round pick Damon Arnette on reserve/future contract / The Kansas City Chiefs have added a former first-round draft pick at the cornerback position on reserve/future contract. It just so happens they’re a former first-round pick from an AFC West opponent too. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Thursday, the Chiefs have signed former Raiders CB Damon Arnette to a reserve/future deal. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft by way of Ohio State, Arnette was released by Las Vegas earlier this season after a video posted to Instagram showed him brandishing firearms and making threats. - If you’re not familiar with reserve/future contracts, it means that Arnette won’t count against the team’s active roster until the beginning of the new league year on Mar. 16, 2022. That’s when the 90-man offseason roster opens for each NFL team. - Arnette played in just 13 games (7 starts) with the Raiders during his career, and at the time of his release, he was on injured reserve recovering from a groin injury. He had 29 tackles, one tackle for loss and three passes defended over two seasons with Las Vegas. - It’s not unlike Chiefs GM Brett Veach to go out and give a player who has made a mistake a second chance. They did so with former Giants’ first-round draft pick DeAndre Baker, who has been on the 53-man roster this season as a key backup for Kansas City. It’s a low-risk, high-reward type of signing for the team. - With the expected departures in the defensive secondary for the Chiefs in 2022, adding a player like Arnette could turn into a sneaky good move. He clearly has the talent to play in this league, but he’ll need to earn a shot at personal and professional redemption. That work begins this offseason. - - List - - Each team's under the radar player for the divisional round of playoffs - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs' Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes wary of Bills' safeties Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer / Josh Allen won’t be the only dynamic player that the Kansas City Chiefs have to account for on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. - The versatile safeties in the Bills’ secondary came up twice in Wednesday’s media availability session. Both Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes addressed the game-breaking abilities of Buffalo’s veteran safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde, telling reporters they are well aware of the threat posed by the All-Pro tandem. - “I’d say they’re one of the better ones in the league,” Reid said. “They’re great communicators. They can get everybody lined up where they need to get them lined up, they can cover, and they can tackle.” - Hyde’s range was put on display during Buffalo’s wild-card win over the New England Patriots, with an impressive interception of Mac Jones. He also had a pick-six in the first meeting between Kansas City and Buffalo this season. - - MICAH HYDE NO FLY ZONE pic.twitter.com/ZXBkxNSwvd - — PFF (@PFF) January 16, 2022 - - - Speaking from experience, Mahomes echoed his coach’s assessment in his comments on Wednesday and expounded on what makes the Bills’ safeties so hard to deal with. - “They’re very smart, very athletic, and really have an understanding for what they want to do as a defense,” Mahomes explained. “They’re two Pro Bowl-caliber players. It’s hard to get two safeties like that on the same team and they play well off of each other. They know how to kind of rock the two high shells to go to one high, they both can play up top or down low so it’s a tremendous challenge to try to get a read for what they’re doing. I mean they have two great players in the back end that can really do a great job of disrupting what you want to do as an offense so have to account for both of them on every single play.” - If what they said on Wednesday is any indication, the Chiefs are in for a whale of a fight against Buffalo on Sunday and could be up against a wall offensively for the first time in the playoffs. Hyde and Poyer won’t make it easy on Mahomes, and identifying the presnap tendencies of the safety duo could be key in the offense’s ability to find success in the divisional round. - - List - - Why each team left in the playoffs will or won't win the Super Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign

Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. arrested for misdemeanor criminal damage on Wednesday night / Kansas City Chiefs LB Willie Gay Jr. was arrested overnight on Wednesday. - According to multiple reports, the Johnson County, Kansas, Sheriff’s Office, arrested Gay at 10:30 p.m. on a Class B misdemeanor criminal damage charge of less than $1,000. Per the court filing, Gay damaged a vacuum cleaner, a wall, a door frame and more items. - Gay’s marketing representative, Maxx Lepselter, shared more information on the circumstances surrounding the arrest. Here is the full statement via Fox 4 Kansas City’s Harold R. Kuntz: - “Willie was at his sons house visiting. He and the mother got into an argument during which he broke her vacuum. No one was touched, nothing happened beyond broken appliance. She called the cops about it and they took him in on misdemeanor destruction of property less than $1000. Likely just pays a fine and replaces vaccum. Nothing more, all should be resolved today with no further issues.” - Gay, 23, is currently being held in the Johnson County Detention Center, awaiting arraignment which is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20. He’ll miss Thursday’s practice as a result. - The Chiefs claim to be aware of Gay’s arrest, but they have no further comment at this time. We’ll likely hear more from team representatives during Thursday’s media availability. Kansas City, of course, is gearing up to host the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs in an elimination game. - As with any arrest, Gay will be subject to the league’s personal conduct policy and could see a fine or suspension. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs OL Nick Allegretti reflects on wild-card round touchdown reception / This season, the Kansas City Chiefs have had many offensive weapons reach the endzone from the receiving end of a Patrick Mahomes pass. The latest for the club was the least likely to have that honor, but when his opportunity came he made it count the most. - Chiefs backup offensive guard Nick Allegretti put his name in the scoring column during Kansas City’s wild-card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. During the third-quarter play, he was an eligible receiver that saw him as Mahomes’ target on a 1-yard touchdown pass. The “thicc six,” as it was cheerfully dubbed on social media, was discussed during Allegretti’s press conference on Wednesday. - Allegretti never dreamed of catching a touchdown pass in the NFL, let alone during a playoff game in primetime. In fact, his last catch in a game came quite a long time ago. - “No, absolutely not,” said Allegretti when asked if he’s ever scored a touchdown before. “One catch in like the eighth-grade end of the year celebration game, and that was it, so it was pretty crazy.” - Chiefs HC Andy Reid explained to reporters that he keeps a close eye on the offensive linemen during their “touch and go” period during practice. That way he knows who has the best hands of the bunch. The offensive linemen have another name for that period. - “Yeah, we call that our fat and slow period, and I know he’s paying attention to everything,” Allegretti explained. “I think it’s pretty obvious. You can tell some guys definitely cannot catch but didn’t quite know he was scouting us. So, glad I was doing well out there.” - The score led to a full team celebration, which involved Allegretti spiking the ball in only a way that an offensive lineman could. Thankfully, one of his teammates tracked down the ball, which he was able to keep as a nice memento of his score. - “Yeah, they did get the ball back for me,” Allegretti said. “So, Pat [Patrick Mahomes] signed it and I’ll probably put that up in the house somewhere, just closed on a house today. So, going to put that in the house. It’s a pretty cool piece of memorabilia for my career.” - As a backup offensive lineman, Allegretti doesn’t often get much work in games. It’s possible he’ll only get a handful of snaps against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. If Allegretti is needed, he’s proven that he can come off the bench as both a traditional offensive lineman and as a pass-catcher. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign

Chiefs DE Melvin Ingram aspires to win Super Bowl, return to Kansas City in 2022 / - - - The Kansas City Chiefs’ addition of Melvin Ingram has widely been regarded as the move that most helped the team turn its defense around. - But what exactly has led to Ingram’s success and impact in Kansas City? If you ask the player, he points to his willingness to buy into what Andy Reid and the Chiefs are selling. - “Just came in and bought in, just bought into what they already had going on,” Ingram told reporters on Wednesday. “That’s the best way you can fit in anywhere. Don’t try to come in and do your own thing. Don’t try to come and be somebody else, just buy into what they’ve got going on and come in and do what they need you to do.” - Before trading for Ingram back in November, Brett Veach had brought him in for a free-agent visit. He ultimately ended up signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, after having a taste of the culture in Kansas City, Ingram is intent on staying with the team beyond the postseason. - That said, Ingram is interested in staying in the moment, with his focus squarely on their next playoff opponent. - “I definitely have got a lot of desire (to stay in Kansas City),” Ingram said. “But that’s looking too far ahead in the future. I ain’t never been a person to looks far in the future. I’m just focused on the task we’ve got at hand right now and that’s trying to win another playoff game and taking it step-by-step, day-by-day, game-by-game. I’m focused on what we’ve got going on now, I ain’t really looking into the future.” - Over the past two months, Ingram has faced and defeated each of his former teams. While those victories were sweet, they were only checkpoints on the way to his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl. - “I came here to try and win a Super Bowl and that’s what my goals are set on,” Ingram said. “Beating them, that’s not a goal that I had. It was just another team, another win, but I didn’t put too much emphasis on it.” - The next checkpoint: Ingram’s team will play host to the Buffalo Bills in the AFC’s divisional round of the playoffs. Ingram is keyed in on one thing for the game, slowing down talented Bills QB Josh Allen. - “Man, he’s one of the elite quarterbacks in this league, and you’ve got to try to cancel out every phase,” Ingram said of Allen. “You’ve got to play assignment football because when you’ve got a quarterback that can run, that can throw, that can do everything, you’ve just got to play assignment football and not try to do too much.” - Ingram wasn’t around when the Chiefs faced Buffalo back in Week 5’s loss.

Chiefs make several practice squad transactions on Wednesday / After releasing four players from the practice squad on Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs continue to tinker with their practice squad. They have now made some new additions to their practice squad. They also released another player and restored a player from the practice squad COVID-19 list. - Let’s start with the additions, though. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice for Wednesday, the Chiefs signed DT Andrew Billings and OT Roderick Johnson to the practice squad. Both fill two of six veteran spots permitted on the practice squad. - Billings, 26, was a fourth-round draft pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2016 NFL draft out of Baylor. The 6-1 and 320-pound defensive tackle spent four seasons with the Bengals, starting 37 games, recording 80 combined tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Billings signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2020, but he opted out of the season due to COVID-19. The Browns waived Billings in November of this season and he would get picked up by the Miami Dolphins, signing to their practice squad. - Johnson, 26, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2017 via Florida State. The St. Louis, Missouri native never appeared in a game for the Browns, but he would go on to earn a shot with the Houston Texans from 2018-2020, where he has played right tackle, left tackle and guard. Listed at 6-6 and 305 pounds, Johnson could be a solid depth piece in Kansas City. - While Billings and Johnson can provide some immediate depth for the Chiefs on the practice squad, they also could be players retained for 2022 as well. Billings is particularly intriguing given the pending free agents at the defensive tackle position (Derrick Nnadi and Jarran Reed). - In addition to the players signed to the practice squad, the Chiefs released RB Elijah McGuire. The acquisition of former 2019 sixth-round draft pick, Darwin Thompson, made McGuire expendable. - Finally, the Chiefs also restored TE Mark Vital back to the practice squad. He was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list seven days ago and is now cleared to return. - In terms of non-practice squad moves, the Chiefs signed WR Chris Finke to a reserve/future contract. The team hosted Finke, who was with Kansas City during the 2021 offseason, on a visit on Tuesday. - - List - - First injury report for Chiefs vs. Bills, divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning -

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides injury updates after Wednesday practice / The Kansas City Chiefs were back at practice on Wednesday ahead of their divisional-round game against the Buffalo Bills. - Chiefs HC Andy Reid gave his typical post-practice injury update to start off the practice week. He said that all but two players participated in their first practice of the week, with RB Darrel Williams (toe) and CB Rashad Fenton (back) sitting out of practice. Reid felt the time off now would allow both injuries to, “calm down a little bit.” - Fenton suffered his injury during pregame warmups, which led to him being ruled inactive for the wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the third consecutive week that the team had a pregame injury that either caused a player to be scratched or limited during a game. Williams, however, played on Sunday, but the team shut him down after it was clear that his toe wasn’t going to be cooperative. Reid said that Williams had trouble pushing off. - The team did have one player back at practice to start the week. Clyde Edwards-Helaire practiced in some capacity on Wednesday. Reid is cautiously optimistic with Edwards-Helaire, who has missed the past three games with a shoulder injury. The second-year running back was a limited participant to start off last week, but he was ultimately shut down for the following two days. - “Listen, he moved around well,” Reid said. “We’ll see how he is tomorrow and how he back-to-back’s these things. I don’t want to (predict) anything. I said it last week and I was wrong, so, we’ll just see how he does as we go forward.” - We’ll have more updates on exact practice participation when the injury report is released later today. - - List - - Why each team left in the playoffs will or won't win the Super Bowl - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs host WR Chris Finke on a visit / The Kansas City Chiefs hosted a familiar face for a visit on Tuesday. - Former Chiefs WR Chris Finke was in for a visit per the NFL’s official personnel notice. An undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame who spent time with the San Francisco 49ers in 2020, Finke spent most of the 2021 offseason in Kansas City after signing with the team back in May. - He’d suffer an injury late in OTAs ahead of training camp, which ultimately landed Finke on injured reserve. The team would later release him from injured reserve with an injury settlement in early August. - - The #Chiefs released 4 players from the practice squad per the NFL's personnel notice: - -TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart-DE/LB Shilique Calhoun-DB Josh Jackson-LB Elijah Sullivan - They also hosted WR Chris Finke, who was with the team this offseason, on a visit. - — Charles Goldman (@goldmctNFL) January 18, 2022 - - - Listed at 5-9 and 186 pounds, Finke finished his college career with the Fighting Irish with 1,251 receiving yards and eight touchdown receptions. He has special teams upside and returned punts for Kansas City during OTAs. - It seems unlikely that Finke would be signed to the practice squad with Gehrig Dieter, Daurice Fountain and Cornell Powell already occupying spots. It is a possibility as four players were released from the practice squad on Tuesday. The more likely scenario here would be the Chiefs signing Finke to a reserve/future contract. That’d give him a shot to get a full and healthy offseason with the team in 2022. - - List - - Chiefs hit big needs in latest 3-round projections from Draft Wire - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs release 4 players from practice squad / The Kansas City Chiefs are shaking up some things on the practice squad ahead of the divisional round of the playoffs. - According to the NFL’s personnel notice from Tuesday, the Chiefs have terminated the practice squad contracts of four players. That group includes TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart, DE/LB Shilique Calhoun, DB Josh Jackson and LB Elijah Sullivan. Griffin-Stewart and Jackson have both appeared in games for Kansas City this season. - It’s not uncommon for this to happen this time of year. On Monday, practice squad contracts expired for teams who have been eliminated from playoff contention. When practice squad contracts expired in 2020, the Chiefs snagged Austin Edwards from the Falcons and Prince Tega Wanogho from the Eagles.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid compares Super Bowl to 'chocolate cake with the ultimate frosting' / - - - Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid has a way with words, especially when he’s talking about food. When you can somehow combine food and football, you’re going to get an absolute gem from the legendary head coach. The latest gem from Andy Reid came from his Monday press conference ahead of the divisional round matchup against the Buffalo Bills. - It took Andy Reid two decades as an NFL head coach to win his first Super Bowl. He had disappointment in Super Bowl XXXIX, losing to the New England Patriots by three points. He didn’t even appear in the game again until the Chiefs made their historic run to Super Bowl LIV. - Asked whether winning a Super Bowl has affected his desire to go out and win another, Reid used chocolate cake to illustrate his hunger. - “If you like chocolate cake and you eat a piece, and then you have one dangling in front of your face, you’re probably going to want to eat that too,” Reid said. “Not much is going to stop you, so that’s how you feel about the Super Bowl. That is the chocolate cake with the ultimate frosting and you’re going to try to go get it if you can, the best you can.” - I think everyone can relate to that metaphor, even if you don’t like chocolate cake. - Needless to say, Reid’s appetite for a Super Bowl has never been greater and he’ll look to put his best foot forward in the divisional round. Defeating the Bills on Sunday will send Reid’s team to their fourth consecutive AFC championship game and get everyone a bit closer to that chocolate cake with the ultimate frosting. - - List - - Chiefs hit big needs in latest 3-round projections from Draft Wire - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid not ready to name Jerick McKinnon starter moving forward / Kansas City Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon drew his first start with the team in the wild-card round against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a tremendous performance in the wild-card round, Chiefs HC Andy Reid isn’t ready to commit to McKinnon as a full-time starter just yet. - McKinnon filled in for an injured Clyde Edwards-Helaire and a limited Darrel Williams in Sunday’s win over the Steelers, just as we predicted he would. He carried the ball 12 times for 61 yards and caught six passes on six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown, turning in one of the most impressive offensive performances in the game. - Asked whether McKinnon had earned the right to be the starter moving forward, regardless of who is available to play, Reid stopped short of naming him the starter. It sounds like they’ll continue to use a committee approach moving forward. - “That’s a good problem to have, so we’ll just see how it all plays out,” Reid told reporters. “Darrel (Williams) tried to go, but he was having a hard time pushing off that toe. We’re fortunate to have a number of running backs that we feel are good runners. (Derrick) Gore is another one, and then we’ll just see about Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) and what we’ll get from him.” - The Chiefs still clearly have a ton of faith in the other two players who fall ahead of McKinnon on the depth chart. Williams had 1,000 scrimmage yards this season and is one of the better pass-catching backs on the team. The team obviously has a lot invested in Edwards-Helaire and his development as well. That said, McKinnon paid his dues and showed up in a big way in an elimination game. That should buy him some good grace in the eyes of the coaching staff. - Even Patrick Mahomes gave McKinnon his endorsement following the game. - “First off, I’ve seen it from training camp on that he’s a playmaker,” Mahomes said of McKinnon. “I mean there’s a reason he’s been a playmaker in this league for the last few years here. Obviously, he’s dealt with injuries in his career, and he dealt with a little bit of injury this season, but he’s kept his mindset right, he kept working hard and I knew with some other guys kind of being down and dinged up, he would step up and fill in nicely.” - Travis Kelce, who was one of the first to celebrate with McKinnon after his touchdown grab, also had high praise for the first-year Chief. - “He just brings the energy,” Kelce said. “He runs his tail off. Every single week, every time he gets the ball he is non-stop downhill aggressive runner and that’s fun to play with. That’s fun to block for. You know you have the upper hand when you have a guy back there with his ability and talent. Sure enough, you

Chiefs exec Ryan Poles makes it to second round of Giants GM interviews / - - - Kansas

Chiefs exec Ryan Poles makes it to second round of Giants GM interviews / - - - Kansas City Chiefs front office executive Ryan Poles will get a second interview with the New York Giants for their general manager vacancy. - According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, after interviewing with the Giants last week, Poles has made it to the second round of interviews. New York interviewed a whopping nine candidates last week, and they’ve whittled things down to their finalists in the search, where they’ll conduct in-person interviews. - Poles joins Buffalo Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen as the two finalists to get to this round of the interview process. It’s unclear if they will interview more candidates a second time, but Schoen appears to be the main competition for Poles in this job. - - #Chiefs executive director of player personnel Ryan Poles is expected to have a second interview for the #Giants GM job, per sources. - So, that makes two finalists in New York: #Bills assistant GM Joe Schoen and Poles, who also was a finalist in Carolina a year ago. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 18, 2022 - - - Poles has spent over a decade in Kansas City, surviving three front-office regimes during his time with the Chiefs. He began his career as a scouting assistant under Scott Pioli and worked his way up. He was Director of College Scouting under John Dorsey and most recently holds the title of Executive Director of Player Personnel under Brett Veach. - A big reason why Poles is appealing to the Giants brass is that he can fix their offensive line situation. A former college left guard for Matt Ryan at Boston College, Poles played a big part in the Chiefs’ offensive line rebuild this past season. He was instrumental in the team’s decision to draft Creed Humphrey, who has seen a seamless transition to the NFL. - Chiefs fans should be rooting for Poles to get an opportunity with the Giants. Not only is he deserving of the opportunity, but his departure could help the team in the next two NFL drafts. If Poles becomes the next GM for New York, under the NFL’s new system for developing minority coaches and personnel executives, Kansas City will be compensated with third-round compensatory picks in each of the next two drafts for his departure. - - List - - Chiefs hit big needs in latest 3-round projections from Draft Wire - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our

Chiefs slight opening favorites over Bills in divisional round / - - - The divisional round is officially set. - The Kansas City Chiefs will play host to the Buffalo Bills for the second time this season, but this time in a win-or-go-home playoff game. - According to Tipico Sportsbook, Kansas City will be just a 2.5-point favorite over Buffalo with an over/under point total of 54.5 points scored. The money line is -130 for the Chiefs and +105 for the Bills. Kansas City is 9-9 against the spread, while Buffalo is 10-6-2 against the spread. - Back when these teams faced in Week 5 of the regular season, the Chiefs were also just 2.5-point favorites and the over/under was 56.5 points scored. The Bills won that game 38-20, hitting the over. - This also marks the second consecutive season that Kansas City will face Buffalo in postseason play. These teams played in the AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium last year, resulting in a 38-24 win by the Chiefs. Overall, the Chiefs are 2-2 in postseason play against the Bills dating back to the 1966 playoffs ahead of Super Bowl I. - One big difference this time around from the earlier matchup in the regular season comes on the defensive side of the ball for both teams. Tre’Davious White won’t be playing for Buffalo after suffering a season-ending injury back in Week 12. Chris Jones will be on the field for Kansas City after dealing with a wrist injury that sidelined him for the Week 5 game. - These are two of the most explosive teams in football as of late, so expect excitement and drama in this elimination game. - - List - - Chiefs release updated depth chart for divisional round - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides more injury updates on Monday / - - Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid provided media members with some new injury updates on Monday. After the game on Sunday night, Reid spoke about RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire and DT Chris Jones, but he neglected to mention CB Rashad Fenton, who sat out with a back injury. It’s the third consecutive week with a pregame injury for the Chiefs, and the timing of this one seemed to have more to do with his inactivity than the severity of the injury. “By the way, I didn t mention (Rashad) Fenton to you last night with the injury,” Reid began. “Right before the game, he came in and his back had locked up, so we had to sit him down. But again, that was right before we had to turn our (inactive players) slip in.” It sounds like Fenton could be back in action in the divisional round, but it all will depend on how his back is feeling at the start of and throughout the week of practice. As for other injuries that Reid didn’t mention, Darrel Williams appeared in just eight snaps on Sunday night. He entered the game with a toe injury and that seemed to be bothering him more than the team anticipated when they made him active. “Darrel (Williams) tried to go, but he was having a hard time pushing off that toe,” Reid said. As a result, Jerick McKinnon saw the lion’s share of the carries and looked good doing so. He could be in line for more snaps moving forward with Williams dealing with the toe and Clyde Edwards-Helaire still struggling to return to practice due to a shoulder injury. Edwards-Helaire started off last week with a limited practice before he was downgraded to a non-participant for the final two days. Reid doesn’t quite know what to expect from Edwards-Helaire this week. You know what, I haven t had a chance to talk to him,” Reid said. “I thought we d be able to do more last week, so I m just curious to see. I think he almost has to get out on the field to feel that and see where he s at. But I think he thought he could do more last week, too. It just didn t work out that way. All things considered, the Chiefs are about as healthy as you could hope for at this point of the season. We’ll keep you abreast of any new injury updates when the team returns to practice on Wednesday. List The morning after a Chiefs wild-card round win

Chiefs to carry over roughly $1.3 million in salary-cap space into 2022 / The Kansas City Chiefs will carry over

Chiefs to carry over roughly $1.3 million in salary-cap space into 2022 / The Kansas City Chiefs will carry over the majority of their remaining 2021 salary cap into the 2022 NFL season. The Chiefs have $1,322,092 in salary cap space remaining for the 2021 NFL season, and according to ESPN’s Field Yates, they’ve declared the unused cap space for rollover into the 2022 NFL season. This likely won’t be the final number for Kansas City, though. The NFL will do an audit of all incentives, bonuses, and triggers to calculate the final figure that the team will carry over into the 2022 NFL season. This carryover puts the Chiefs’ salary-cap projections for the upcoming offseason up over the $30 million mark. That’s before the team rids themselves of any bloated contracts (Anthony Hitchens and Frank Clark) and restructures contracts (Patrick Mahomes). The NFL’s salary cap for the 2022 NFL season is set at $208.2 million and when it’s all said and done with, Brett Veach could have upwards of $60 million in cap space to use in free agency. NFL teams recently declared unused 2021 cap space rollover amounts (below). After the playoffs, the NFL will audit incentives, bonuses, etc by team. That figure will be added/subtracted to the number below. The sum + the 2022 Salary Cap = each team's 2022 adjusted cap number. pic.twitter.com/BMThnJyLpa — Field Yates (@FieldYates) January 17, 2022 - This salary-cap carryover is important because the Chiefs have a number of players that they’ll want to re-sign or extend this offseason and every little bit is going to help. Orlando Brown Jr., Tyrann Mathieu, Melvin Ingram and Byron Pringle are among the two dozen players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Looking ahead, a Tyreek Hill contract extension could also be forthcoming as well. Whatever the case, it’ll be a busy offseason for the front office as they try to retain their own talent, while supplementing the team with some fresh faces.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes made NFL, franchise history vs. Steelers / Another game, another historic performance for Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes made NFL, franchise history vs. Steelers / Another game, another historic performance for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It seems like it happens every week at this point, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive for the fourth-year starter. During Kansas City’s playoff romp against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, Mahomes put up an impressive stat line: 404 yards passing, five touchdown passes, 29 yards rushing and an interception. With that mega stat line, Mahomes made franchise history, ousting his former mentor Alex Smith for the single-game passing yards record: With 402 passing yards in tonight's game, QB Patrick Mahomes now owns the franchise single-game record for passing yards in the postseason, topping the previous mark of 378 set by QB Alex Smith at Indianapolis (1/4/14). — Chiefs Communications (@ChiefsPR) January 17, 2022 - It’s actually sort of surprising that Mahomes hadn’t already hit that 400-yard mark in the postseason, but I suppose it was bound to happen sometime. It wasn’t just franchise records that Mahomes broke on Sunday, though. His five touchdown passes in a span of 11 minutes and 31 seconds was a postseason feat that will likely not be broken for a long time, if ever: Correction: The time span was 11:31, still the fastest in NFL postseason history. The last player, regular season or playoffs, to do it that quickly was Tom Brady in 2009 (5 Pass TD in 9:44). The Patriots beat the Titans in Week 6, 59-0. — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) January 17, 2022 - It’s so tough to score that quickly in the NFL, but doing it against a playoff team is that much tougher and that much more awe-inspiring. And wait there’s more. If the above stats weren’t enough, this last one should widen some eyeballs. Mahomes is the first quarterback to put up 400+ yards passing and five-plus passing touchdowns in a playoff win. Another quarterback did it in a playoff loss, though: Ben Roethlisberger, in 2017. Patrick Mahomes is the first QB in NFL history to have 400+ pass yards and 5+ pass TD in a playoff win The only other QB with 400+ pass yards and 5+ pass TD in a playoff game? Ben Roethlisberger in his 2017 Divisional Round loss vs JAX — NFL Research (@NFLResearch) January 17, 2022 - Considering Roethlisberger’s (probable) impending retirement, it seems like destiny that Mahomes would put up a stat that mirrors one of Big Ben’s records in the latter’s final NFL game. That just shows how, occasionally, the game tends to come full circle. List Best Twitter reactions from Chiefs' wild-card round victory over Steelers

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce posts historic night vs. Steelers / Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce had a monster night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round, which led to some NFL and franchise history being made. Kelce led all Chiefs receivers with seven targets for five receptions, 108 yards and one touchdown catch. It was his fourth consecutive postseason game with over 100 yards receiving, which tied for the longest postseason streak league annals per Chiefs PR. It was good for his seventh career 100-yard receiving game in the postseason in his career, trailing only Jerry Rice (8) for the second-most in NFL history. Kelce’s 100 receiving yards was also enough to lift him over 1,000 career postseason receiving yards. He joins Buccaneers TE Rob Gronkowski as the only two players at the tight end position in NFL history to have 1,000 or more career receiving yards in the playoffs. The second-quarter touchdown reception gave Kelce 10 touchdowns in the postseason in his career, tying former Chiefs RB Damien Williams for the most postseason touchdown in franchise history. It’s also tied for the fourth most postseason touchdowns by any player in NFL history. He trails only Gronkowski (15) for receiving touchdowns by TE in postseason play. If Kelce’s receiving yards weren’t enough, he also threw his first career touchdown pass, a 2-yard score to Byron Pringle. QBKelce : #PITvsKC on NBC pic.twitter.com/XopfGwXyMM — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) January 17, 2022 - As a result, Kelce became the only player in NFL history to ever have 100 yards receiving, a receiving touchdown and a passing touchdown in a single playoff game. He also became just one of three players in NFL history to have caught and thrown a touchdown pass in a playoff game, joining Marcus Mariota and Nick Foles. He’s the only skill-position player to have ever done it before. It’s all just a notch on the belt for Kelce in what is sure to be a Hall of Fame career, but rest assured he’s focused on just one thing. That’s getting started on the preparation for the divisional round of the playoffs, where they’ll face the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium.

WATCH: Chiefs OG Nick Allegretti scores big man touchdown vs. Steelers / Gotta love a big man touchdown : #PITvsKC on NBC pic.twitter.com/cwZfuVq9Wr — Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) January 17, 2022 - Third-year guard Nick Allegretti scored a big man touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the red zone to give the Kansas City Chiefs a 28-7 lead in the third quarter. Nobody expected the lineman to spring free after reporting eligible on the one-yard line. Check out the short-yardage trickery up top, and notice how little attention the defense paid to Allegretti when he scampered in for the easy score. This was Allegretti’s first NFL touchdown and his first time playing a big role in a game since he filled in at left guard against the Bengals. He has proven to be a capable blocker who plays with the same grit he showed on film at the University of Illinois, but now he showed off his mitts as well. There was also the takedown of T.J. Watt to make it happen too. The touchdown set up the Chiefs to take an even more commanding 35-7 lead after forcing a turnover on the ensuing Steelers drive, which has them fully in control of the game in the middle of the third quarter. Pittsburgh would strike back with a touchdown of their own, though, and by the end of the third quarter cut the lead down to 21 heading into the fourth. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had some struggles in the first half but got off to a hot start in the second with back-t0-back touchdown passes. It would take a monumental effort by Pittsburgh to turn the tide at this point, but Kansas City has plenty of work to do to prove they’re a team to beat in the AFC. If the third quarter has been any indication, the Chiefs are in rhythm heading into a Divisional round matchup against Buffalo in a battle of two of the league’s top offenses. The Mahomes-Josh Allen rivalry looks to have another iconic meeting brewing with both teams on the top of their game and relatively healthy in the last few weeks of January.

Is Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon poised for a playoff breakout? / The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with some injuries

Is Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon poised for a playoff breakout? / The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing with some injuries at the running back position heading into their wild-card round matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Clyde Edwards-Helaire has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, missing his third consecutive week. His backup, Darrel Williams is listed as questionable on the injury report with a toe injury. He’s looking more and more like a game-time decision after the team elevated Darwin Thompson from the practice squad, just a day after the former sixth-round draft pick re-signed with the team. So who will the Chiefs rely on to be the lead running back should Williams not play or be limited by the toe injury? All signs point to RB Jerick McKinnon, who signed with Kansas City as a free agent this offseason. McKinnon spent the entire month of December on injured reserve, rehabbing a hamstring injury before returning to action in Week 17. In Week 18 against the Denver Broncos, McKinnon managed eight touches for 50 yards and a receiving touchdown, the biggest offensive performance of his Chiefs career to date. He’d mostly played special teams to that point, but now McKinnon is looking like he could be a difference-maker in a time of need. Speaking to reporters on Friday, McKinnon explained that he’s prepared for the opportunity, both mentally and physically. Ever since I got in the league, I ve always prepared myself to be ready for the opportunity,” McKinnon said. “As you mentioned before, the injury was definitely a setback, but on the good side of things, I think my body actually needed it because I feel pretty good now. It s kind of one of those bittersweet things where you definitely want to be out there helping the team and competing, but your body won t allow you to do the most you can do is get your body right and just get prepared to come back. The entire situation is reminiscent of the 2019 NFL season. Damien Williams was working his way back from an injury and LeSean McCoy had taken more of a lead role for Kansas City. In Week 16 and 17, Damien began playing the majority of the snaps as McCoy also dealt with a minor injury. It led to a huge role for Damien and historic production in postseason play. Could McKinnon be destined for the same thing? Based on what McKinnon says, he should be able to slot in for Edwards-Helaire and Williams just fine. He feels the only difference is that he brings his own unique brand of energy that could help empower the offense. I think us as a room, we all collectively kind of have a lot of similarities,” McKinnon said. “The only thing I think I bring is I feed off the energy. I m big on energy. Guys can feel that,

Chiefs defense focused on present in wild-card round matchup with Steelers / - - The postseason gets underway

Chiefs defense focused on present in wild-card round matchup with Steelers / - - The postseason gets underway this weekend, with the Kansas City Chiefs playing their first wild-card game since the 2018 season. Chiefs DT Chris Jones was one of the catalysts in the Chiefs dominant Week 16 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this season and looks to duplicate that effort on Sunday. The sting from last season s Super Bowl is still very present in the minds of the millions that watched it, leading to questions of whether the team is focused on the task at hand. Jones says they’ve moved on, not just from the Super Bowl loss, but also from the Week 16 victory. They’re only focused on the task at hand, which is how to defeat Pittsburgh on Sunday night. I live by the five-minute rule. You ve got five minutes for whatever emotion, whatever you re going through, get it out right then and there, leave it where it s at, and move forward,” Jones said. “Right now, we re moving forward to Pittsburgh. We ve got a very good team coming in, an exciting team. They re making some noise in the later part of the season, and they found themselves a playoff spot. So, we ve got those guys coming in. We know they re fired up, and they re going to be excited to play us again. My main focus right now is how we can game plan and what I can do myself to force my will on the Pittsburgh Steelers. The big obstacle on Sunday will be once again Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, as he eyes retirement from the NFL and perhaps his final playoff appearance. Jones is well aware of the stature, reputation, and sense of urgency the future Hall of Famer. Yeah, he s huge, he s smart. In my eyes, he s a Hall of Famer, first ballot,” Jones said. “When you face these types of guys, they ve been playing in the league for a long time. They know how to get themselves out of trouble, and they don t hold onto the ball as much as you would love them to as a defensive lineman. So, we ve got to pick our poison and try to affect him, whether it s getting our hands up or getting in his throwing lane, whatever we have to do to affect the quarterback. He s big. You ve got to wrap him up when you tackle. He can still throw guys hovering over him, so it s a tough challenge for us as a defensive line. Big

Chiefs host Bills if they beat Steelers, advance to divisional round / With the other two AFC wild-card games coming to an end, the Kansas City Chiefs now know who they might host in the divisional round should they defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.The Las Vegas Raiders fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in the early wild-card game on Saturday. During the late wild-card game, the Buffalo Bills rolled over their boogieman in the New England Patriots. Given those results, if the Chiefs beat the Steelers the following will occur:The No. 1 seed Titans will host the No. 4 seed Bengals.The No. 2 seed Chiefs will host the No. 3 seed Bills.The Chiefs faced the Bills back in Week 5 of the regular season on “Sunday Night Football.” This was really one of the lowest points of the season having lost to three of the best teams in the AFC conference. They’d lose this game 38-20 after never being able to find their footing. Offensive miscues such as drops, penalties and four turnovers led to struggles throughout the contest. The defense hadn’t yet hit their stride and also struggled to get any stops or turnovers themselves.These teams also have some recent playoff history as well. Kansas City played host to Buffalo during the AFC Championship Game last season. The Chiefs defeated the Bills 38-24 in that game to advance to Super Bowl LV.Hosting Buffalo again in the divisional round is all contingent on Kansas City coming out with a win on Sunday night. The team is sure to be focused solely on the Steelers and the task at hand heading into the game. If they come out of the wild-card round with a win, the Chiefs will have a chance to prove that they’re a better team than the one that disappointed back in Week 5. It’s an opportunity that they’re surely eager for after their 2021 NFL season didn’t start off on the right foot.ListPredictions for Chiefs vs. Steelers, wild-card roundEmailSign upLike this article?Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morningAn error has occuredPlease re-enter your email address.Thanks for signing up!You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Referee Shawn Smith's crew assigned to work Chiefs-Steelers game / Fourth-year NFL referee Shawn Smith and an all-star crew have been assigned as the officials for the Kansas City Chiefs wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night according to Football Zebras.This marks Smith’s sixth assignment during postseason play and his fourth time officiating a wild-card game as either an umpire or a referee. It also marks the third time this season that Smith will have officiated a game for Kansas City.He was assigned to the Chiefs-Packers game in Week 9. During that game, Smiths crew called their fourth-fewest penalties of the season (10) with six against Kansas City and four against Green Bay. He was also assigned to the Chiefs-Chargers game on “Thursday Night Football” in Week 15. During that game, Smith’s crew called the third-fewest penalties of the season (9) with five penalties on the Los Angeles and four on Kansas City.During the NFL’s regular season, Smith’s crew called false starts (34), offensive holding (24), defensive pass interference (21) and offensive pass interference (10) at the highest rates. The pass interference penalties are ones to watch with the amount of YOLO passes that Ben Roethlisberger threw against K.C. back in Week 16.Home teams have a 7-9 record with Smith’s crew this season. The Steelers have a 3-3 record when Smith officiates their games, while the Chiefs have a 3-0 all-time record.Obviously, things will be a little different this time around with an all-star crew comprised of members from Tony Corrente, Brad Rogers, Clete Blakeman, Bill Vinovich, Shawn Hochuli and Alex Kemp’s crews. Generally speaking, officiating tends to ease up in the playoffs and only the most blatant of calls are flagged.ListFinal injury report for Chiefs vs. Steelers, wild-card roundEmailSign upLike this article?Sign up for the Chiefs Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morningAn error has occuredPlease re-enter your email address.Thanks for signing up!You'll now receive the top Chiefs Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid thinks this is the year Eric Bieniemy lands a head-coaching job / As the Kansas City

Chiefs HC Andy Reid thinks this is the year Eric Bieniemy lands a head-coaching job / As the Kansas City Chiefs get ready for another postseason run in the 2021 NFL playoffs, one member of the coaching staff is once again making rounds in the annual head-coaching carousel. Eric Bieniemy has been interviewed by 13 teams spanning three seasons, but he has been passed over for other head-coaching candidates each time. Some of those candidates that were chosen over him have already been fired by the teams that hired them. Now, with eight head-coaching vacancies in the NFL, Bieniemy’s name has again come up. It has left many wondering whether this year will finally yield the long-deserved opportunity that he’s awaited. Right now, however, his focus lies on the Steelers and preparing his offense for the game. “It’s always good to be mentioned,” Bieniemy told reporters on Thursday. “The thing about it, you don’t allow it to become a distraction because, first and foremost, I have a job. Second of all, we’ve got a big game this up and coming weekend and that’s the most important thing, to take care of the business at hand and to focus on the now. All of that stuff is going to take care of itself. And do not get me wrong, I am blessed and I am fortunate to be a part of that chatter, to be a part of some of the things that are taking place, but right now my focus is to make sure that we’re ready to play. . .” Speaking to reporters on Friday, Chiefs HC Andy Reid reemphasized that the interview process wouldn’t be a distraction for Bieniemy or his players. While he’s been disappointed with how things have turned out for Bieniemy in the head-coaching searches over the past few seasons, Reid is confident that things will be different this time around. “No, not at all,” Reid proclaimed. “These guys are unselfish guys. EB (Eric Bieniemy) has had that the last couple years, and it disappoints me that someone hasn’t hired him, obviously, because he’s so good. I’m hoping that takes place this year. But you know the guys, they’re not going to let it be a distraction. They’re going to defer to the team and what that’s all about and then kind of let the chips fall where they may. I’m sure between COVID and our long season it hasn’t been real beneficial for EB in having the opportunity, but I think this year he’s going to end up with one.” Bieniemy has paid his dues and waited perhaps longer than he’d hoped for a head-coaching opportunity. Look no further than his commitment to the team and his current job to find one reason why. He puts his all into the game plan and the team each and every week. He’ll continue to do that for the wild-card game against the Steelers and moving forward, no matter what team he ends up coaching for.

Chiefs players snubbed from AP First-Team All-Pro selections / The Kansas City Chiefs won’t have AP First-Team All-Pro selection for the first time since 2017. The Associated Press announced their annual All-Pro Teams on Friday, with a panel of 50 NFL writers and broadcasters coming together to vote on a team of the best-of-the-best NFL players. Only six Chiefs players received All-Pro votes this year, and none were voted First-Team All-Pro. Only two players (Travis Kelce and Chris Jones) were voted Second-Team All-Pro. Here is a breakdown of the votes that Chiefs players received: AP All-Pro voting for #Chiefs players – Travis Kelce: 9Orlando Brown: 1Joe Thuney: 6Creed Humphrey: 10Chris Jones: 10Tyrann Mathieu: 1 — Charles Goldman (@goldmctNFL) January 14, 2022 Noticeably absent is Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes, who finished fourth in the NFL in passing yardage and tied for fourth in the league in passing touchdowns. He didn’t receive a single All-Pro vote with Aaron Rodgers (34) and Tom Brady (16) as the only two quarterbacks receiving recognition from All-Pro voters. Also absent is WR Tyreek Hill, who was a First-Team All-Pro in 2020 and had the sixth-most receiving yards among his position group this season. Only five receivers got votes this time around, with Cooper Kupp (50) and Davante Adams (50). While AP All-Pro awards aren’t handed out by the NFL, these are the ones that count most toward a player’s legacy. They are included in the NFL record and fact book, and always carry weight when it comes to future selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Needless to say, the lack of recognition should be a huge motivator for this Chiefs team heading into the playoffs. They’re looking to reach a third consecutive Super Bowl and prove they remain the team to beat in the AFC conference.

Tyrann Mathieu details how Melvin Ingram has helped Chiefs' defense grow / When it comes to adding talent in the middle of a season where a team is already a playoff contender, the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t have done much better than they did with the addition of Melvin Ingram III. His presence has bolstered the Chiefs’ pass rush when they needed it most, enabling Chris Jones to slide back to the inside without compromising the edge rush that fans in Kansas City crave from the team’s defense. Pundits have pointed to the acquisition of Ingram as the turning point in the team’s season since they traded a sixth-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for him ahead of Week 8. Some of his offensive teammates have praised him for the juice that he brings on the field, which we’ll surely see from the 10-year veteran on wild-card weekend. Chiefs’ safety Tyrann Mathieu reflected on Ingram’s presence during his media availability time on Thursday, telling reporters that his impact has been felt both on the field and in the classroom. “He just has a knack for really understanding blocking schemes and what offensive lines want to do, what coordinators want to do, and it kind of helps him anticipate what’s coming,” Mathieu said of Ingram. “I think anytime you have guys on the field that can really use their instincts to the defense’s advantage, I think it’s beneficial to the rest of us on the team. He’s a great leader, he’s a great communicator as well especially in the classroom with the coaches so he’s a guy that we feed off. Not just on the field, but off the field in the classroom as well so he’s been big for us.” Few players in the NFL have had the impact on their team’s defense that Ingram has in Kansas City, but the work is far from over as the most important part of the schedule is just about to get underway. With everything on the line and so much at stake, Mathieu’s comments should instill some confidence that Ingram’s presence will be a gamechanger against his former team. Whether it’s something that happens on the field or in the classroom, Ingram should make a big difference against a Steelers offense that should be beatable if the Chiefs’ defense plays up to their full potential.

Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy confident as ever in RB group ahead of matchup vs. Steelers / With the Kansas City Chiefs’ first win-or-go-home game just days away, offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy told reporters on Thursday that his confidence remains high in his running backs’ abilities. Three backs took nine or more carries in the team’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 with Clyde Edwards-Helaire scoring a big touchdown in the blowout. More ground-and-pound football could be on the horizon for the Chiefs in this playoff rematch, and judging from Bieniemy’s comments, the group they’ll field should be up to the task. “My comfort level is where it always is—the next man is up,” Bieniemy said during his press conference before practice on Thursday. “The thing is Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) is going to do everything he can to be out there this weekend and we’re going to let the people take care of what they need to take care of. “But on top of that, Greg Lewis is doing a heck of a job with those guys. When given an opportunity, those guys have proven that they can rise to the challenge. So, I expect our guys regardless of who is out there playing to go out there and play hard and play fast, but on top of that, to give us something productive to help us to secure a victory.” With injuries hampering both Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Darrel Williams that could linger into the playoffs, preparation will be crucial to the Chiefs’ success if they intend to advance. They’ll need to get everyone ready to contribute against a well-coached Steelers squad that is sure to have some tricks up their sleeve to stop Kansas City’s high-octane offense. The outcome of this matchup is far from a forgone conclusion at this juncture. Without a balanced offensive attack, the Chiefs will fight an uphill battle, even if Ben Roethlisberger isn’t who he used to be on the other side. The opportunity to play a team they recently routed is a luxury befitting a second-seeded playoff squad, but Kansas City has no room for complacency. If Bieniemy can’t rely on his running backs to play methodical, smart, and gritty football on Sunday, the Chiefs could very well find themselves out in the opening round.

Justin Fields And Jordan Love Are Headed In Opposite Directions / The future of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay

Justin Fields And Jordan Love Are Headed In Opposite Directions / The future of the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers rely heavily on the future of their quarterback positions. Justin Fields is set to be the future at signal caller in the Windy City, which may set up Matt Nagy (or at least his eventual successor) with some outstanding potential. - Meanwhile, Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are not bringing back the memories of Aaron Rodgers taking the job away from Brett Favre. Or at least not fondly. The way Matt LaFleur and the GreenBay packers deployed and game-planned for Love's first start is telling. Do the Packers trust him and believe he could be the guy post-Rodgers? They may have to make that decision based on only their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. - Fantasy Football running backs like James Conner have taken leagues by storm, but will the production continue? Can the Titans make the run game work without Derrick Henry, or does this become a passing offense with A.J. Brown and Julio Jones? Marcus Mosher of Locked On Dynasty Football joins to break it all down with insight on fantasy running backs across the NFL, waiver wire targets, and potential sell-high trade bait ahead of the trade deadline. - Follow the network: @LockedOnNFLPods - Follow Ross: @RossJacksonNOLA - Follow Luke: @LukeBraunNFL - Follow Kate: @FFBallBlast - Follow Marcus: @Marcus_Mosher - Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! - Built Bar - Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

AFC Team-by-team NFL Draft Grades: Broncos get top marks with 'A' while Raiders labeled with 'D' draft (Football 5/4) / The draft is done and the grades are in. Will Brinson is joined by Ryan Wilson and John Breech to discuss marks for each team in the AFC. The guys start in the AFC East (2:45), where the Jets and Patriots both landed 1st-round quarterbacks, the Dolphins cashed in on 2 first-rounders and the Bills looked to bolster a squad that made the conference championship game last season. We progress to the AFC North (23:00), where Breech's Bengals landed a kicker, Wilson's Steelers' secured a 1st-round running back, the Ravens added help for Lamar Jackson and the Browns kept building one of the best rosters in the league. The AFC South collectively were issued the worst grades (42:00), minus the Jaguars, who picked a generational talent, Trevor Lawrence. The Titans, Texans and Colts could have done better. And the AFC West is secretly, or maybe not-so-secretly, shaping up to be one of the best divisions in football (58:30). The Broncos, Chiefs and Chargers are fared well in the draft, but the Raiders fell behind, per usual. - - 'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. - You can listen to Pick Six on your smart speakers!

2021 NFL Draft Day 2 Winners & Losers: Raiders, Panthers, Browns emerge as winners, while Steelers, Jaguars and Aaron Rodgers

2021 NFL Draft Day 2 Winners & Losers: Raiders, Panthers, Browns emerge as winners, while Steelers, Jaguars and Aaron Rodgers considered losers (Football 5/1) / Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and while we didn't have the same fireworks as Thursday, there were still plenty of notable moves that could dictate the path several franchises take next year and beyond. Will Brinson is joined by Josh Edwards and Chris Trapasso to break down everything from Rounds 2 & 3 with a focus on winners & losers from Friday. First, the guys pinpoint their favorite selections at the top of the 2nd round (6:30). Next, it's time to anoint winners (12:30). A couple of names like the Raiders and Eagles may be a surprise to see in this category. Also, could we be headed towards a Browns-Bills AFC Championship Game next season? Trapasso thinks so, but we know Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will have something to say about that. The crew also dishes out losers from Day 2 (48:00) and Brinson torches the Jaguars and Edwards explains why the Steelers' draft has been a miss. Will, Josh and Chris break down the 3 quarterbacks that were selected on Friday (1:10:00), before highlighting a few of the best players available entering Saturday (1:13:00). - 'Pick Six' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. - You can listen to Pick Six on your smart speakers!
