A Tough Decision Now Could Allow the Chiefs To Secure Their Future si.com
Frank Clark is responsible for some of the greatest memories in Kansas City Chiefs history. The defensive end is also responsible for the potential repercussions of offseason arrests.
Clark, who has experienced an up-and-down career with the Chiefs, was arrested in March and again in June for illegal possession of a firearm. His arraignment and plea hearing was originally scheduled for earlier this month but was recently postponed until Oct. 4. That falls directly in line with the NFL regular season, which poses an interesting dilemma for the team.
Chiefs UDFA Spotlight: Louisville CB Marlon Character | usatoday
A former three-star recruit at safety with offers from over 20 schools, Character originally signed with Auburn. After taking a redshirt year as a freshman with the Tigers, Character announced his intention to transfer to South Carolina, spending a season at Northwest Mississippi Community College in the interim before transferring. He eventually flipped his commitment to Louisville after the school hosted him on a visit as the No. 1 JUCO transfer safety in the country.

In a recent feature on ESPN Plus, multiple contributors ranked all 32 teams by how set up they are to win over the next three seasons. Cracking the top five were a handful of teams who enjoyed remarkable seasons.
The Cleveland Browns (5), Buffalo Bills (4), Baltimore Ravens (3) and the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2) all made the cut. But the team at the top of the heap? The Kansas City Chiefs.
The redemption of Clyde Edwards-Helaire | thehuddle
Drafters were hoping for a monster rookie year as we saw with Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley. Instead, we saw someone stuck between a badly fading David Johnson and the mostly stumbling Miles Sanders. It wasn’t terrible. It just wasn’t anything close to a difference-maker. On a Super Bowl team no less.
Enter 2021.
The chance to reclaim the same luster that saw him tear up the SEC for 1,414 rushing yards and 55 catches for 453 yards and a total of 17 touchdowns on the way to a National Championship in 2019.
Chiefs WR Hill ready to lead new-look receivers group in new season | yahoo

The wide receivers room for the Kansas City Chiefs is shaping up to look slightly different in the 2021 season.
With Sammy Watkins pieces moving on in free agency, rookies coming in and a new position coach taking over, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he’s still confident in the group they’ll be rolling out.
“I like the guys that we have,” Reid said. “It might be by committee, but we’ve got a good nucleus of wide receivers there, and I feel comfortable with those guys.”

No new injuries to report from Chiefs' camp today. Just the guys on PUP (Niang, Fenton and Tega Wanogho).
I say this respectfully and, honestly, with admiration: Joe Thuney is a football-playing robot who also happened to be coded by Bill Belichick. It's kind of amazing. He's like an AI-generated NFL guard. Can't get one by him on the o-line or at the podium. No pressure, ever.
Mahomes to Juju for another good catch
Patrick Mahomes went 10 of 11 in a full team drill, the highlight being a deep TD pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster
Local Chiefs Reporters:
Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo and defensive tackle Chris Jones spoke excitedly at the pending addition of DE Carlos Dunlap, welcoming with open arms a veteran expected to bring experience, leadership and production to a group needing all three.

There's only one correct answer...
Whose got the best red threads? 🔥👀
Dunlap has been credited with 69 passes defensed in his career. Long arms, knows when to shift to trying to knock down a throw.
When you see this full speed, at first you think maybe he dropped it. Then you slow it down and see the bottom arm get tugged right before the catch and he’s left having to catch it with one arm, which is almost impossible when you’ve started pinkie to pinky up high https://twitter.com/KCSportsNetwork/status/1552671738403721216

Glad to see Alex Okafor back. Nice to have a serviceable vet who knows our system.
Melvin Ingram signed a 1 year = $4m contract (that peanuts)
Go, sign Justin Houston
to a similar deal
Chiefs DE Frank Clark is that his arraignment has been delayed til OCTOBER – knowing lawyers, will be delayed to after SB — especially, since SoCal HAS TO WEAR MASK AGAIN
Less Expensive options Pass Rusher options:
Alex Okafor stand out as they’ve played for the team before. Then there are guys like Adrian Clayborn and Olivier Vernon who have played for coaches on the Chiefs’ staff before. Everson Griffen is still available
Time to start crossing fingers. I hate injuries right before the season starts.

We need your picture of you holding the chiefs flag at raiders stadium….
And as always. Fuk the raiders………..
Total bummer.
Well Badain, ya missed something
Is it just me, or does “Once a Raider, always a Raider” sound like a chronic disease or condition to anyone else?
Yep, not sure there is a cure for that. Once you get the raider stink on you it’s hard to get off….
Thx Hoosier, and a blessed day to all…..
I lived for a year in the Bay area (West Bay). It was hard to be a Chiefs’ fan out there. But I was glad I could see at least two of our games on local tv that year.
It’s kind of like herpies.
Only worse
Let’s ask Darryl Stingley.
