Congratulations to client @ByronCowart1 on signing with the @Chiefs
Can confirm the Chiefs are re-signing Blake Bell on a 1-year deal (@RapSheet 1st).
The team keeps its top 4 tight ends from last year โ in Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Jody Fortson & Bell โ & could add another player at the position in the draft next month.
Excited for this new chapter! ๐๐พ
The obsession with Jackson Mahomes. ๐
You can just choose to not follow him and/or block him. He doesnโt appear in your feed anymore.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers confronts TikTok CEO:
"Why would you willingly give Jackson Mahomes a platform in this world?โ
Update: The #Chiefs have signed back DT Derrick Nnadi, a 2018 3rd round pick who played his entire career with the team, per his agent SportsTrust.
Local Chiefs Reporters:
"I think the data was very clear: it doesnโt show a higher injury rate. But we recognize shorter weeks. We went through this with COVID too.โ
Roger Goodell defends the Thursday Night Football flex proposal.
Goodell defends TNF flex proposal, owners postpone vote
The NFL approved a measure that would allow every team to play on two short weeks. It previously was only one week.
theathletic.com
One would hope Clark Hunt would be a no vote on flexing Thursday night games.
Chiefs draw from a huge geographic footprint, and there's plenty of frustration from fans when Sunday games get flexed.
Let's hope the NFL won't force teams to play two home games on Thursday nights.
More John Mara: "People make plans to go to these games weeks and months in advance. 15 days ahead of time to say โSorry folks, that game you were planning on taking your kids to Sunday at one oโclock, itโs now going to be Thursday night.โ I mean, what are we thinking about?''
Point to the only quarterback in the NFL with two Super Bowl wins
Roger Goodell, just now: โI donโt think we are putting Amazon over the players. โฆWe recognize shorter weeks. I hear from a lot of players directly who love the 10 days after the game.โ

NFL confirms that moving forward there will now only be one โNFL Redzoneโ channel. Thatโs with Scott Hanson hosting.

Prior to reaching his decision, Calais Campbell had a 40-minute phone call with owner Arthur Blank and the two discussed leadership, charitable efforts, and how Campbell thrives in the community. That non-football call helped seal it.
Sources: The #Falcons are making another splash, as former #Ravens star Calais Campbell intends to sign a 1-year deal with them. The Pro Bowler and former Walter Payton Man of the year will lend leadership to a young team he believes in. And Atlanta adds โ again โ on defense.
Yo! Where BRaG!?
Vacation?
Taking a break, he has emailed me, just want to make sure I only share what he’s ok with.

NFL rumors: ZaโDarius Smith could shake free once again
Last year around this time, pass rusher ZaโDarius Smith was a name thrown around again and again in Chiefs Kingdom. Multiple reporters linked the Chiefs with Smith as general manager Brett Veach looked for significant help to bolster the teamโs edge rushing capabilities. In fact, some reporters noted the Chiefsโ definite interest and it felt like a move was coming.

Ex-NFL executive Mike Tannenbaum wouldnโt be surprised to see Orlando Brown Jr. back with Chiefs
