New story. The chats at the combine on Chris Jones have reached an unanimous sentiment.
“He deserves to get paid."
“I would give him a ton."
“He should get a massive deal from the Chiefs."
On the Chiefs' "growing optimism" that they’ll keep Jones.
Chad Henne on his memorable 3rd-down scramble:
“I looked over at the sideline and felt I had a lot of running room. I put my head down. This team has given me so much, so I put my body out there for them.”
The 1st person to call Marquez Valdes-Scantling when he landed in Kansas City earlier this week was the same person who was the 1st to call him after he agreed to join the Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes.
Tyrann Mathieu on his future & the possibility of him staying with the Chiefs: "I'm hoping it works out. I love this team. I love this locker room. I'm hoping."
Patrick Mahomes on Andy Reid: “I believe he’s the best coach ever. I know he doesn’t have the trophies… He brings out the best in me because he lets me be me.”
Patrick Mahomes on his contract in the NFL landscape: “I worry about (my) legacy & winning rings than making money at this point. I’ll never do anything that’ll hurt this team. You want to keep the bar pushing. It’s not about being the highest-paid guy."
Melvin Ingram said he joined the Chiefs to win a Super Bowl. He said the has the "desire" to stay with the Chiefs after the season. He also called Steve Spagnuolo a great coach.
Travis Kelce on the coronavirus: "Wearing a mask is life or death to a lot of people. It's the first thing you can do... Just wear the mask & respect the people around you. Act as if you have the virus."
Patrick Mahomes, still wearing parts of his uniform, walked out of the locker room to hug and kiss Brittany Mahomes, his wife, & Sterling Mahomes, his daughter.
Brett Veach said acquiring Leo Chenal should allow Willie Gay to play more snaps as the weak-side linebacker. Chenal projects to be a strong-side defender with Nick Bolton in the middle.
Patrick Mahomes said he got word the extension was being finalized on July 4. He also said Andy Reid told him that he plans on being the Chiefs coach throughout the extension.
The sentence in the audio from
@KCTV5
that will likely doom Tyreek Hill's future with the Chiefs & the NFL is this one that he said to Crystal Espinal:
"You need to be terrified of me, too, bitch."
Felix Anudike-Uzomah: "They hosted me three times. I thought, 'I’m destined to go to the Chiefs.' Frank Clark is one of my favorite pass rushers. This is all I dreamed of. It’s crazy how I’m living in the moment."
The Chiefs will wear their all-white uniforms of the 1990s lore tonight.
This will be the 1st time the Chiefs have played in this look since that incredible, exhilarating game against the Rams on Monday night in 2018.
Tyreek Hill says he's wearing a mask & a face shield today at the Chiefs' facility.
"I'm trying to protect myself," Hill said. "I don't want to spread (COVID-19) to my kids."
Travis Kelce is a Hall of Famer, a walkoff 34-yard touchdown.
Chiefs 34, Chargers 28.
The Chiefs (10-4) rallied twice in the 4th quarter. Patrick Mahomes was excellent. The defense did just enough before Mahomes reached his highest level of the season.
I just want to ask a simple question: If Clyde Edwards-Helaire thought Chiefs fans wanted to light him on fire, what are those type of fans saying about Daniel Sorensen?
Gotta say, Andy Reid is as furious as I've seen him after a game this season, another reminder that close losses such as this one often hurt more that the blowouts.
This defense might be special.
Also, Trent McDuffie is one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
And Mike Edwards makes one of the smartest mid-play decisions of the season, lateraling the ball to Bryan Cook for a game-swinging 59-yard touchdown.
Here’s the statement between the Chiefs & the family of Ariel Young, the young girl who was critically injured in a multi-vehicle accident on Feb. 4 that involved Britt Reid, who was charged in April with driving while intoxicated.
FINAL: Chiefs 41, Raiders 14.
The Chiefs are in 1st place in the AFC West. Patrick Mahomes threw for 5 touchdowns. The Chiefs' defense was dominant, too.
They are 6-4.
A few minutes ago, Andy Reid went to almost the numbers on the field to point directly at referee Carl Cheffers to voice his displeasure for the roughing-the-passer penalty.
Patrick Mahomes on the Titans: "Last year, we weren't ready and they beat our ass. This team is a lot better than (people) talk about them. People don't talk about their D-line."
Based on my knowledge, this is how I project the Chiefs' offensive line:
LT: Orlando Brown Jr., Yasir Durant
LG: Joe Thuney, Andrew Wylie
C: Austin Blythe, Nick Allegretti
RG: LDT, Kyle Long
RT: Lucas Niang, Mike Remmers
Tyreek Hill is expected be the lone Chief cleared from the COVID-19 list today, per source (
@RapSheet
1st).
The Chiefs are planning to activate Travis Kelce & other players before 3 pm in the hope they can clear the league’s protocols before Sunday’s kickoff.
As the Chiefs enter camp, it's clear former RT Mitchell Schwartz will have plenty of influence on the revamped offensive line.
Schwartz, a free agent after 5 seasons with the Chiefs, has helped rookie Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney & Kyle Long the past couple of months.
I've cried so many tears. I'm still crying. Terez is and will always be one of my favorite people. Everything you've read about him is why this is so, so crushing. He was a great friend, an amazing mentor & someone I admired for how he did everything, with enthusiasm & passion.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce that our beloved friend, colleague and Yahoo Sports journalist Terez Paylor has passed away.
Statement from Ebony Reed, Terez's fiancée:
Orlando Brown Jr. on the Chiefs' offensive line: “We just executed & did our job to the highest of levels. It was all so worth it, man. Zero sacks! Tell them to put it on a fucking T-shirt!”
Frank Clark: "This shit is fun. It gets to a point where, you know, when the money's on the line, you know who to call on. I'm a winner. I like winning. When you get to the playoffs, it becomes a premium on making the right play every play."
The best quote from Kareem Hunt that I've heard all season: “I’m down to do whatever. People are starting to watch film on Pat now, so I’m going to make it easy for him. I tell him, ‘You do all the cute stuff & I’ll handle all the dirty work.’”
The Chiefs scored on every drive in the second half.
Patrick Mahomes, with a right high-ankle sprain, orchestrated yet another postseason comeback, one in which he was almost perfect after halftime — 13 for 14, 93 passing yards, 2 touchdowns & a 26-yard scramble.
Patrick Mahomes just huddled everyone on offense & gave the most passionate speech I've seen him give on the Chiefs' sideline during a game in his career.
If you’re still awake, just remember: Don’t ever take Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce & Tyreek Hill for granted.
The Chiefs’ superstar trio elevated their legacies in the dramatic win over the Bills.
“I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.”
The Chiefs have agreements to restructure the contracts with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce & Chris Jones, a source confirms (
@AlbertBreer
1st).
The Chiefs will have more than $20 million in cap space when the new league year begins Wednesday afternoon.
Skyy Moore on Patrick Mahomes: "He's the best quarterback in football. It's a blessing to be able to be on that team. I get paired with the best quarterback in football."
Patrick Mahomes on his 1st-ever scramble that involved looking back at the referee:
"I saw that I had the room to run it & that I could probably get the first down, but I didn’t want to run like 50 yards if (the play) was going to get called back & have to run another play."
The Chiefs have signed Mike Remmers to a 1-year deal worth up to $6.8 million with $3.3 million guaranteed, a source confirmed. Remmers will be at right tackle, likely in a competition with rookie Lucas Niang.
And yes, the Chiefs are still pursuing a veteran left tackle.
Such a nice moment from Patrick Mahomes & the Chiefs' offense, getting a delay of game penalty to honor Len Dawson with a huddle that resembled Dawson & the 1969 championship team.
The Packers' declined the penalty, too.
