Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs’ history, we have nothing.
Walt Whitman was born on Long Island, NY in 1819, The Boer War ended in 1902, in 1916, the Battle of Jutland, during WWI, commenced, Clint Eastwood was born in 1930, Joe Namath was born in 1943, and Mark Felt became public known as “Deep Throat” in 2005.
Here’s the news.
Insider Reveals Chiefsβ Initial Contract Offer to WR DeAndre Hopkins | Heavy
βKansas City made progress toward a deal, but things went a little sideways when Odell Beckham Jr. got $15 million in base pay from Baltimore, making Hopkins feel like he should land at least that much, given that Beckham didnβt play last year,β Breer wrote. βThe Chiefs wound up giving free-agent left tackle Donovan Smith a deal structured similarly to the offer they made Hopkins, which will make it more difficult for Kansas City to circle back.β
Patrick Mahomes drops truth bomb on Chiefs wide receiver corps after losing key targets a | CluchPoints
βI think weβre deep. I think thatβs the biggest thing. Usually, you have a good feel for kind of who the guys are going to be and everything like that but with this group, itβs like every single guy I could see him making a path to making the team. And so, I mean thatβs what you want. You want that competition. I thought even the young guys that have stepped in have stepped in and done a lot of great things and guys from other systems have stepped in and done great things. So, (thereβs) a lot of competition in that room will play out through OTAs and camp but Iβm happy with where weβre at in that receiving room.β β Patrick Mahomes, PFT
Bengals Playmaker Goes Viral After Teasing Chiefs | Heavy
Boyd did walk back the early bit of smack talk, adding: βAt the end of the day, [Brownβs] a great playerβ¦ Weβre here to win, heβs probably one of the best at his position. Adding him to what we got already, itβs going to allow Joey [Burrow] to have more time and itβs going to give us the will to put up those points so Iβm just happy to have him.β
Breaking down pros and cons of Chiefs potentially signing WR DeAndre Hopkins | ChiefsWire
DeAndre Hopkins has been a WR1 in the NFL for practically a decade, and even though he will be 31 years old before the season, he would be an instant upgrade in the Chiefsβ offense. The recently released veteran wideout has been linked to K.C. throughout the offseason and could prove to be an option now that heβs available.
Chiefs LB Nick Bolton vows to finish NFL career with his college degree | ChiefsWire
βItβs very important,β Bolton said of finishing his degree. βMy pop and mama all left with a degree. I didnβt have the opportunity to do that because of COVID. It kind of kept me from finishing during summer classes unless you absolutely had to have one in order to be eligible, so that kind of put me behind a little bit. But it is very important for me. I will not finish my NFL career without my degree.β
Chris Jones second on PFF’s interior defensive linemen rankings for 2023 | ChiefsWire
Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald has remained squarely ahead of Jones in these types of rankings for several seasons now. Despite Jones having a better overall grade in 2022, a career year in statistical production, a brand new First-Team All-Pro selection and twice as many Super Bowl rings, Donald remains at the No. 1 spot in PFFβs rankings.
Nice!
Chiefs TE Jody Fortson emerged as an elite run blocker in 2022 | ChiefsWire
Fortson ended up playing 21% of the Chiefsβ offensive snaps in 2022, the most to this point in his career. He took a big step forward in one specific aspect of his game β where he was rarely utilized the season prior. In 2021, Fortson appeared on the field for just 15 run-blocking snaps in Kansas City. He saw more than quadruple the run-blocking snaps the following season.
Patrick Mahomes trying to learn all he can from new Chiefs backup QB Blaine Gabbert | ChiefsWire
βYeah, I mean first off I knew of Blaine (Gabbert) from (former Chiefs QB) Chad (Henne with) them playing in Jacksonville together and Chad spoke very highly of him,β Mahomes said. βAnd then since heβs been in the building, heβs been a true pro and heβs came in β you see the talent (and) you see why he was a top 10 draft pick or a first-round draft pick and the arm strength there and things like that. And he was just backing up (former Buccaneers QB) Tom (Brady) so Iβm asking for any advice he can give me because if youβre learning from that guy, youβre learning from the right guy. So, (heβs) just another good quarterback (and) good guy that can be in that quarterback room.β
Morning Bowl of (T)Weeties:
Arrowhead Guys Twitter:
;
No, #Chiefs RT Jawaan Taylor was not "benched" after penalties per Andy Reid: "Well, I subbed out some guys. He also got hit in the mouth and got a cut in there that wasnβt feeling too good. Heβll be fine though."
Taylor re-entered the game for a bit after PTW/Donovan Smith leftβ¦
For the record, here is where Jawaan Taylor was lined up when he was flagged for his second penalty that wiped out the TD.
Taylor has to adapt to the refs, but this spotlight he has on him now is complete BS. Dude was doing the exact same thing last year in Jacksonville and nobody cared one bit.
#Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie says that missing half the season last year gave him a big chip on his shoulder coming into this year. He's focused on doing his job and proving he can make an impact.
Talk about being at the right place at the right time! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce leaving Arrowhead together after the game. #Bears #ChiefsKingdom #NFL
