Little known fact … the UK gets 30-50 tornadoes per year and reportedly sees the highest frequency of tornadoes in relation to land mass of any country in the world.
Can't wait to hear how the players from Argentina, Netherlands, Algeria and England are experiencing a Midwest tornado warning.

Heartbreaking news. Raytown product, and it was a joy watching him play at Mizzou. Sad to see him go thru personal struggles off the field during his career. Devastating for a young man to be go so soon.

Chiefs will receive a 2027 sixth round pick from the Falcons in exchange for OT Wanya Morris and a 2027 seventh round pick, a source tells Chiefs Digest.
Trade: The Kansas City Chiefs are dealing OT Wanya Morris to the Atlanta Falcons, per sources. Morris, who started 16 games for Chiefs, gives Atlanta much-needed tackle help.

OverTheCap has them at $3,450,158 in available cap space under the top 51 contracts. They will need more for the regular season.
So how much cap space do they have this year with all the draft picks now signed?

Justin Reid >>> Riyad Mahrez
“Riyad Mahrez kicking a field goal at The Booth” is not a sentence I ever expected to read. Shoutout to #FIFAWorldCup for making it happen 🇩🇿

I’ve had several questions about this. Mahomes and the Chiefs capped out his 2026 contract in February to a $34.65m cap hit : • $1.3m base salary • $1m workout bonus • $32.35m in dead cap from previous restructures There will be cap relief from the scheduled $85m cap hit in 2027, but none this year.
Replying to @mattderrick
Anytime a deal is extended out like this, its likely backloaded, which means it almost certainly freed up room at minimum to make sure the draft picks got signed.

Andy Reid says Jaylon Moore has been the mainstay at right tackle through offseason practices. Says he will be with whomever ends up starting at right tackle from the group of candidates.

Andy Reid says Patrick Mahomes didn’t take his part in today’s run test ending the minicamp, but says he probably could have passed through willpower.

Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes’ contract, which will run thru his age 38 season. When Mahomes signed his first extension in 2020, it was a 10-year, $450 million deal, or $45 million AAV. This extension is 8 years, with $504.75 million, or $63.1 million AAV.
The new money on Patrick Mahomes’ deal is worth $239.05 million, with the total value now at $504.75 million from 2026-33, with the first four years being guaranteed at signing. All $504.75 million becomes guaranteed through contract mechanisms.   Mahomes can earn up to $522.25 through incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64M per year, setting a new NFL record for average annual value.

NGL … I’m with Chris Jones on this one. “I love New York, but not the Knicks.” Knicks fan @pgsween, however, gets the last word.

The play I hate being celebrated the most from non-contact practices are plays where a receiver must elevate, dive, reach out, or catch with one hand. 9 out of 10 times these are great catches compensating for bad throws, bad routes, lack of speed, or some combination.

I’m not trying to disparage anyone, it just the second bad play in a row I saw celebrated on X. If the receiver has to slow down to adjust for the ball, leading a defender into contact in a non-contact practice, it’s underthrown. A dime would hit the receiver in stride for a TD.

Not to be outdone, on my way out of the parking lot, I observed pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier finishing up his run a few minutes later. These guys could easily pass tomorrow’s conditioning test.
It’s 2 p.m., heat index of 100, and Chiefs WR coach Chad O’Shea is returning from his run around the Truman Sports Complex. He encounters staffers collecting the temporary fencing from season ticket member day and asks for directions and begins helping out. The more you can do.

If you want to know what type of guy #Chiefs WR coach Chad O’Shea is. He said hey to @mattderrick & I on his run back and then stopped to help the crew stack steel barricades to be picked up. #ChiefsKingdom

First look at Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed back in No. 38. Kevin Knowles switched to 35.
