Good morning, AG!
Today in Chiefs history, there’s nothing to report.
On this day in 1930 Constantinople was renamed Istanbul, in 1941, Virginia Woolf died, Dwight D Eisenhower died in 1969, Three Mile Island leaded radioactive material in 1979, and in 2004, Sir Peter Ustinov died in 2004.
The news follows.

Chiefs depth chart projection after initial waves of free agency
Right now, the team has 61 total players under contract for the 2023 NFL season. In our projection, we’re taking a look at preseason depth charts from 2022 through the Super Bowl LVII depth chart to inform our decisions. The holdovers from the 2022 NFL season will have a big advantage. Key free agents and reserve/future signings who were with the team in the past will get a bump in our projection as well.
Contract details for new Chiefs LB Drue Tranquill revealed | ChiefsWire

The deal has $510K in per-game roster bonuses. There’s also a $40K workout bonus attached to the offseason program.

Chiefs’ Andy Reid Sounds Off on Eric Bieniemy Move: ‘I Was For It’ | Heavy
“So [Washington Commanders head coach] Ron [Rivera’s] a good friend,” Reid began. “Obviously, we were all together in Philadelphia. But Ron’s main focus is defense… he’s got that defensive background. This will give E.B. [Bieniemy] an opportunity to move in and run the whole show — get my name out of it and put his name on it. I think that that’s important right now, so I was for it. As much as I’m going to miss him, I was for it, because he deserves an opportunity.”

Mahomes trivia for #ChiefsKingdom :
-Who are the only 2 NFL teams with a winning record against Mahomes (Regular+Post)?
-Who are the 4 teams with a .500 record against Mahomes?
-Who are the two teams Mahomes has not beaten?
As for where this goes next, I'd say the price will dictate that. Under current circumstances, unlikely KC or Buffalo go get him. If his price drops (both teams offered incentive-heavy deals), then ... maybe.
(Both KC and Buffalo talked directly to Hopkins, and liked him.)
🏈 More on @DeAndreHopkins 🏈
• The Chiefs and Bills were the only teams to have substantive trade talks with Arizona.
• As was the case with Kansas City, contract was the issue for Buffalo.
• KC made progress, but @OBJ's deal ($15M base) more or less blew that progress up.

MLB The Show breaks barrier with Negro League players
https://apnews.com/article/mlb-show-negro-league-players-4f85545eafefe219215c8df295a76785?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_11
MLB The Show has broken a video game barrier: For the first time, the franchise will insert some of the greatest Negro League players — from Satchel Paige to Jackie Robinson — into the 2023 edition of the game as playable characters.
Video gamers are now able to venture into a storyline mode involving eight Negro League legends through MLB The Show 23, which releases Tuesday. The narrative experience will feature short videos about the players along with gameplay focused on the epic moments of their careers.
Along with Robinson and Paige, the game also features other players including Buck O’Neil, Rube Foster, Hilton Smith, John Donaldson, Hank Thompson and Martin Dihigo.
“This made sense on multiple levels,” said Bob Kendrick, the narrator of storyline experience and president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, which is located in Kansas City, Missouri. Along with the museum, he partnered with Sony for the historic Black players’ insertion into the game.

Jartavius ‘Quan’ Martin*, CB/S, Illinois
Height: 6-0. Weight: 195.
Projected 40 Time: 4.48.
Projected Round (2023): 2-3.
3/18/23: The 6-foot, 195-pound Martin is a versatile defensive back who is a weapon in the secondary. He can play safety, nickel corner, or outside corner. Martin is a smooth athlete with instincts. He is sleeper who could rise quickly as the 2023 NFL Draft approaches because he put together really good tape during the 2022 season. On the year, he recorded 64 tackles, three interceptions, 11 passes broken up, one sack and two forced fumbles. Martin then helped himself with an excellent combine showing.

Nashville school shooting video released by police | LiveNOW from FOX
I’m not posting video.
Google video, if you wish
It looks like the police got there pretty quick and took action. could have been a lot worse.
Within 15 minutes, if memory serves.
Quick, yes, but still, what a senseless tragedy.
wasn’t it in Florida where they waited a couple of hours?
Uvalde, Texas, I believe. That’s part of why 15+ were killed that day.
(At least, the Uvalde one is the most recent incident where there was first-responder hesitation, and the one that sticks out in my mind.)
I believe the whole police department was sacked as a result.
One of the big ones in FL had a security guard freeze up in fear and not enter.
Uvalde PD didn’t learn from Columbine. The rules of engagement changed from wait-and-see to engage-immediately as a result of columbine

So cool he is working out with furious George…
Hali studied hand-to-hand combat techniques such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu with now-Patriots coach Master Joe Kim in order to better his pass-rush arsenal. He perfected all of the little things that could help him be at the top of his game, even against opponents who outmatched him athletically. Hali turned the two-hand swipe into a nearly unblockable move during the course of his NFL career in part due to his relentless study and persistence.
