reported on SportsCenter this morning that the
#Chiefs
are actively making phone calls to try and trade for another top wide receiver.

#Chiefs
CB L’Jarius Sneed on GMFB this week on KC trading Ty Hill:
“That Tyreek and Patrick Mahomes connection was kind of special, but as you know, Andy Reid’s got something up his sleeves…” (1/2)
The
#Chiefs
managed to sign MVS (speedy playmaker), Ronald Jones II (1 of NFLs most eff runners in btw the tackles) & Jermaine Carter Jr. (17-game starter last season) for what ended up being just $8 million in total cap space in 2022.
Brett Veach keeps winning.
#ChiefsKingdom
I think Mecole Hardman no longer being in the shadow of Tyreek and MVS no longer in the shadow of Davante might finally help the two of them shed off unfair criticism in 2022.
#ChiefsKingdom
This closeup shows what I was seeing from my video clips last night.
Taylor isn’t false starting. Instead, he’s leaving perfectly as the ball is being snapped!
Adam Schefter just said on NFL Live that the holdup on former
#Chiefs
OT Orlando Brown Jr. signing with a new team is the fact that "the league" views him as a right tackle, but OBJ wants to get paid like a left tackle.
#ChiefsKingdom
Injured players the
#Chiefs
could potentially welcome back for Sunday’s game vs.
#BillsMafia
:
- OG Trey Smith
- CB Trent McDuffie
- K Harrison Butker
- TE Blake Bell
- DE Mike Danna
- OT Lucas Niang

on the Pat McAfee Show yesterday:
“I think the (Chiefs) are the most fascinating team in the NFL Draft … if they get 5 really good players, they’re the team to beat for the next half dozen years"
#Chiefs
TE Travis Kelce on rookie WR Rashee Rice (via New Heights)
"He might be the dark horse in this wide receiver class, man...I like what he does with the ball in his hands. He’s got a good feel for voids over the middle of the field and he’s tough as nails."
#ChiefsKingdom
Hear me out:
Kliff Kingsbury gets fired, Eric Bieniemy becomes the
#Cardinals
new head coach, and Kliff reunites with Patrick Mahomes as KC's offensive coordinator in 2023.

WR DeAndre Hopkins via
@PHNX_Sports
:
"I'm hearing Kansas City is the primary suitor there."
Albright noted that he doesn't think AZ can get a 1st rounder for DH, but they could "probably" get a 2nd rounder.
#ChiefsKingdom
#Chiefs
WR Mecole Hardman was asked during an
#NFL
Twitter Space tonight which Georgia Bulldog prospect he felt would have the biggest impact in Year 1 of the NFL.
Hardman chose WR George Pickens.
#ChiefsKingdom
According to
@KristianRDyer
,
#Chiefs
RB Isiah Pacheco played "much" of his rookie season with a torn labrum and suffered a broken hand during the AFC Title game.
He had surgery on both injuries after the Super Bowl, per Dyer.
#ChiefsKingdom
On NFL Network,
@jeffrichadiha
shared what one
#Chiefs
front office person told him about Brown rejecting KC’s long-term deal:
“This isn’t the guy we traded for.”
This is in reference to Brown coming to KC as a team player that was willing to work out a team-friendly deal.
#Chiefs
TE Travis Kelce on Zay Flowers & Quentin Johnston:
"I’ll tell you what — both of those guys could help us out right now. That’s how special those guys are. It was fun to see them just have a blast running routes in the offseason [and] getting better... (1/2)
Instead of giving Orlando Brown Jr. a $20+ million/year contract, the
#Chiefs
add a right tackle that they will convert to left tackle for $15 million/year guaranteed (4 years, $80 million, but only $60 million gtd for Jawaan Taylor)
It's brilliant, really.
#ChiefsKingdom
#Chiefs
have 2 picks in the 2nd round, and these are the receivers still available:
George Pickens
Christian Watson
Skyy Moore
Jalen Tolbert
John Metchie III
I wouldn't be surprised if KC grabbed one of them with the 50th overall pick, or trade up to get 'em.
#ChiefsKingdom
For those wondering why
#Chiefs
RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire wasn’t at the Super Bowl parade:
He walked at New York Fashion Week Wednesday evening for Daniel’s Leather. (🎥 via DL’s Instagram)
#ChiefsKingdom
The
#Chiefs
&
#Giants
are still actively discussing a trade for CB James Bradberry, per
@AaronWilson_NFL
.
KC is “extremely” interested & the comp. involved has ranged from “a late-round selection going to New York in a possible deal to swapping picks in the middle rounds”
Brett Veach says second-year OL Darian Kinnard has grown "rapidly" over the last few months.
Kinnard will compete with Lucas Niang for the starting RT job next season.
#ChiefsKingdom
Here’s an interesting piece from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler regarding
#Georgia
WR George Pickens:
“Pickens told me that he believes his range is Nos. 25 to 45, and the Packers, Chiefs and Cardinals are among teams that have done lots of homework on him.”
#ChiefsKingdom
#NFLDraft
JuJu Smith-Schuster on why he left the
#Chiefs
to join the
#Patriots
(via Chris Mason of MassLive):
"Honestly, Bill (Belichick), man. Being at a place where he’s a great head coach, and as far as everything else goes, I just feel like I fit here.”
#ChiefsKingdom
Leaving this quote here from Chris Jones in 2020 prior to winning SBLIV:
"Kansas City, I know I don’t talk about it much but I want to be a Chief for life. I plan to stay here forever, man, and win not only one championship, two, three, four. We got to build a dynasty here."
Jackson State LB James Houston is meeting with the
#Chiefs
ahead of the draft, per source.
Houston played at Florida from 2018-20 before transferring to play for head coach &
#NFL
HOFer Deion Sanders at JSU in 2021.

Richard Sherman blames
#Chiefs
QB Patrick Mahomes for Lamar Jackson’s current contract dispute with the
#Ravens
(via
@TheVolumeSports
):
“Mahomes took that BS deal, just 10 years and wanted it to look like half a billion. But if you get half of that fully guaranteed… (1/2)
Shortly after his 30-yard gain,
#Chiefs
WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette catches another pass near the sideline for 28 yards.
ISM is fighting for a roster spot today.
#ChiefsKingdom
The fact that Donovan Smith is already looking like a better version of himself and could earn a maximum of $9 million this season is laughable.
Bravo, Brett Veach. 👏🏼
#ChiefsKingdom
Just got to speak with Zay Flowers 1-on-1, and let me tell you something…
I really like that dude, and I think he makes a TON of sense for the
#Chiefs
.
Story coming 👀
The
#Chiefs
watched Charvarius Ward take a $40 million deal in free agency last year after developing him into a full-time starter.
If KC doesn't plan on giving a big contract to L'Jarius Sneed next offseason, they should consider trading him this year & draft more CBs.
According to Nate Taylor of The Athletic,
#Chiefs
DT Chris Jones wants a contract extension that makes him *at least* the second-highest paid defensive tackle in the
#NFL
.
#ChiefsKingdom
Here are the
#Chiefs
-related moves from Day 1 of free agency:
In:
- QB Shane Buechele (tendered)
- OL Prince Tega Wanogho (tendered)
Out:
- DT Khalen Saunders : Saints (3 years $14.5 mil)
- WR JuJu: Patriots (3 years $33 mil)
- OT Orlando Brown: Bengals (4 years $64 Million)
Dan Orlovsky (
@danorlovsky7
) on NFL Live:
“If [the
#Jets
] draft well again this year like they did last year, this is a bonafide Super Bowl contender in the AFC, and probably as big of a threat to the Kansas City
#Chiefs
as the
#Bengals
are.”
#ChiefsKingdom
Brett Veach on importance of top 30 visits:
Last offseason
#Chiefs
talked to Jaylen Watson at Combine & weren't sure he was a fit for them. Then they brought him in for a top-30 visit and loved him.
Watson was a 7th-rd pick by KC and became a starter in Year 1.
#ChiefsKingdom
I bet the
#Chiefs
lured Matt Nagy back into the fold by noting Eric Bieniemy's potential departure in 2023, whether it be for a HC job or another coordinator gig.
Nagy could be sliding into a promotion next offseason in KC.
#Rams
QB Matt Stafford told his wife, Kelly, that LA will beat the
#Chiefs
in the Super Bowl in 2024, per Kelly on her podcast:
"We ended up going to Coach McVay's house... We left that house and Matt was like, 'We're gonna beat them in the Super Bowl next year."
#ChiefsKingdom
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of players with first round grades in this draft class, & the
#Chiefs
are sitting at 31 with 9 other draft picks at their disposal.
I really think the most likely scenario for KC is trading up in the 1st round to get “their guy.”
#ChiefsKingdom
Chiefsaholic, I don’t know where you are, but my brother and I would love to have you on
@newheightshow
to tell your story. We will go wherever, and disclose nothing for the sake of journalism
@ChrisClaytonDTN
You are correct, Chris. But my assumption is that many teams believe he was more productive as a right tackle during his time in Baltimore, which is why they think he should revert back to RT.
PFF named each team's "most underrated" player heading into the 2022 season, and had
#Chiefs
LB Willie Gay Jr. as KC's nomination.
Thoughts?
#ChiefsKingdom
The
#Chiefs
placed the following players on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list today, per the transaction wire:
CB Rashad Fenton
OT Lucas Niang
OT Prince Tega Wanogho
WR Justyn Ross

#Chiefs
QB Patrick Mahomes on Rihanna calling him the greatest QB ever.
"Whatever Rihanna says is the gospel...I'm glad she wet with me for that honor."
He was then told she didn't actually say that. 🤣🤣🤣

“That’s what you really want to see out of young guys, is just the love for the game and the love to go to work and get better at your craft. Both of those guys seem like genuine, great guys off the field."

Brett Veach leaves the door open for a reunion with free agent RB Jerick McKinnon.
"Once we get past next weekend I think we'll double up with a lot of these guys that still might have a chance to be on this roster."
