Good morning AG!
Today in Chiefs’ history, Happy B-Day Big Red, Andy Reid, born 1958.
And in 1992 Dave Krieg is signed as a “plan B” free agent. Dee Ford born in 1991, Greg Wesley in 1978, Armani Watts 1996.
I presume we would all wish David Livingstone Happy Birthday as well, born 1813. “And if my disclosures regarding the terrible Ujijian slavery should lead to the suppression of the East Coast slave trade, I shall regard that as a greater matter by far than the discovery of all the Nile sources together.
— Livingstone in a letter to the editor of the New York Herald

Former Chiefs S Juan Thornhill bids Kansas City farewell in letter to fans | Chiefswire
Though his departure is sure to sting for many Chiefs fans who grew accustomed to Thornhill’s presence in Kansas City, he is likely to get plenty of run with the Browns next season as a starter in Cleveland’s secondary.
Logan Ryan endorses new Kansas City Chiefs S Mike Edwards | Chiefswire
Edwards and Ryan played together with the Buccaneers last season and it seems that the 26-year-old safety made an impression on the old head.

The Chiefs add former Colts DT Byron Coward, who had 12 tackles in 17 games last year. https://twitter.com/JLSports3/status/1639290472966307842
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 — in Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Jody Fortson & Bell — & could add another player at the position in the draft next month.
Excited for this new chapter! 🙏🏾
The obsession with Jackson Mahomes. 🙄
You can just choose to not follow him and/or block him. He doesn’t appear in your feed anymore.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers confronts TikTok CEO:
"Why would you willingly give Jackson Mahomes a platform in this world?”
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 doesn’t show a higher injury rate. But we recognize shorter weeks. We went through this with COVID too.”
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.

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 ‘Sorry folks, that game you were planning on taking your kids to Sunday at one o’clock, it’s now going to be Thursday night.’ I mean, what are we thinking about?''
Point to the only quarterback in the NFL with two Super Bowl wins
Roger Goodell, just now: “I don’t think we are putting Amazon over the players. …We recognize shorter weeks. I hear from a lot of players directly who love the 10 days after the game.”

NFL confirms that moving forward there will now only be one “NFL Redzone” channel. That’s with Scott Hanson hosting.
DirectTV’s deal came to an end and that version of Redzone no longer exists.
National Talking Heads:
Potential first round CB Cam Smith of South Carolina kicks off a busy next few weeks starting with a trip to the defending Super Bowl champion #Chiefs today, source says.
The @Eagles' Kelly green alternate uniforms are officially coming back this season. 🔥
.@Ckancey8 explosiveness is next level. 📈
📺: 2023 #NFLDraft - April 27-29 on NFLN/ESPN/ABC
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 — again — on defense.
While Calais Campbell had several options, he bought in to the vision of Atlanta coach Arthur Smith and GM Terry Fontenot. He’s been to a conference title game with a young team and young QB before (the #Jaguars), and perhaps there are some similarities.

So OBJ’s Cincy deal is 36% off Tunsil’s deal.
And he’s stuck with it for years. Should have stayed here, dude. Taken last year’s offer
