Chiefs face impossible decision with two superstar rookies tipped to command $220 million contracts | talkSPORT<\/p>\n
\n\nWhen you consider that Rice could command something similar to Terry McLaurin\u2019s three-year, $96 million extension, that adds up to nearly $220 million for the two young stars the Chiefs drafted, developed, and hope to retain.<\/p>\n
And it would be worth it.<\/p>\n
It can be argued that McDuffie is now the most important piece of Kansas City\u2019s defense, surpassing the aging Jones. And Rice\u2019s impact on the offense is undeniable.<\/p>\n
Rice\u2019s impact on Mahomes and the offense is clear: since returning from a six-game suspension, he has led the Chiefs with 233 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns over the past three games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will be the guest picker on College GameDay | Chiefs Wire<\/p>\n
\n\nThe bye week for players on the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0is a period of recovery and an opportunity to have new experiences. Patrick Mahomes will take center stage on Saturday as he becomes the guest picker for\u00a0ESPN\u2019s College GameDay\u00a0pre-game show from his alma mater in Lubbock, Texas.<\/p>\n
The marquee matchup this weekend in college football will involve Mahomes\u2019 9th-ranked Texas Tech\u00a0Red Raiders\u00a0hosting the 8th-ranked BYU Cougars. The programs have met only twice in history, with the first matchup in 1940 and the second in 2023, when BYU beat Texas Tech 27-14.<\/p>\n
In three seasons at Texas Tech, Mahomes completed 859 passes for 11,252 yards, 93 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions. He\u2019s third in school history in yards and touchdowns, but he leads the school in yards per attempt among QBs with at least 100 completed passes (8.3). Mahomes was selected out of Texas Tech 10th overall by the Chiefs in the 2017 NFL draft \u2014 and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Biggest Question Facing Each NFL Team in the Second Half of 2025 | FOX Sports<\/p>\n
\n\nKansas City Chiefs: Are they a Super Bowl contender this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Their offense and defense both rank in the top seven, they\u2019ve got an all-world quarterback, great coaching and clutch players with experience, so there aren\u2019t a lot of questions this team needs to answer. They\u2019re probably one of the 10 best teams in the NFL. But they are also 5-4. That\u2019s not awful, and it\u2019s only a half-game out of a playoff spot. But the Chiefs are also in a loaded conference. Realistically, they need 10 wins to secure a playoff berth, which means going 5-3 down the stretch. That should be manageable for them, even with games against the Broncos (two), Colts and Chargers. But they don\u2019t have much margin for error anymore. They could really use a long winning streak as soon as they come out of their bye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Biggest Need for Every NFL Team in 2026 Free Agency After 2025 Trade Deadline | Bleacher Report<\/p>\n
\n\n
\nKansas City Chiefs: Edge-Rusher<\/strong><\/p>\nCornerback Jaylen Watson is a pending free agent, but the Chiefs also have Trent McDuffie, Chamarri Conner and Nohl Williams there. George Karlaftis is doing almost all of the work on the edge, and a lack of depth there could become more glaring as Chris Jones declines. Rookie third-round pick Ashton Gillotte probably isn\u2019t the solution, either.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Report: Jaguars will play in Orlando in 2027 | NBC Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n\nMike Bianchi of the\u00a0Orlando Sentinel<\/em>\u00a0reports that the Jaguars will, subject to league approval,\u00a0play their home games that season in Orlando.<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s viewed as a formality, the team would like the league to get it done.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs far as the league is concerned, I don\u2019t know that they put as much of a priority on this as we would like them to,\u201d team president Mark Lamping told Bianchi. \u201cWe wish the time frame would be earlier, but that\u2019s because our fans want to know and the people in Orlando want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The other viable alternative was the University of Florida\u2019s stadium in Gainesville. Per Bianchi, the school has already been told that it\u2019s out of the running.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Jayden Daniels injury update: Commanders QB gets positive news on dislocated elbow | CBS Sports<\/p>\n
\n\nWashington Commanders\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Jayden Daniels, who dislocated his left elbow late in Sunday night\u2019s 38-14 loss to the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks, avoided a serious injury and will not require surgery,\u00a0CBS Sports\u2019 Jonathan Jones reported Friday. He will not be placed on injured reserve and the plan is to re-evaluate the reigning\u00a0NFL\u00a0Offensive Rookie of the year during the Week 12 bye later this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good deal with no surgery,\u201d Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Friday. \u201cObviously that makes a big difference if you have an injury not to have to go down that road. I hope to give you guys an update after the bye week about where he is and where we go from there. After that, I\u2019ll give you an update on where it\u2019s at and it will give us a couple weeks to get to that space\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Antonio Brown waives extradition, will return to Miami | ESPN<\/p>\n
\n\nFormer NFL player\u00a0Antonio Brown\u00a0will return to Miami from a New Jersey jail after deciding not to contest his extradition to Florida on an\u00a0attempted murder charge, officials said Friday.<\/p>\n
Brown, 37, was brought to the jail in Essex County, New Jersey, after\u00a0his arrest\u00a0by U.S. marshals in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He waived extradition at a brief court hearing Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrown is back at the Essex County Jail in Newark, where he is awaiting pickup by Florida authorities,\u201d said Carmen Martin, spokesperson for the Essex County Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest warrant, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer\u00a0after a celebrity boxing match\u00a0May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.<\/p>\n
\u201cCellphone video obtained from social media showed Mr. Brown with the firearm in his hand advancing toward Mr. Nantambu on the outside walk. The video captures two shots which occur as Mr. Brown is within several feet of Mr. Nantambu,\u201d the arrest affidavit says. \u201cThe video also captures Mr. Nantambu ducking after the first shot is heard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Colts DT DeForest Buckner (neck) placed on injured reserve, will miss at least four games | NFL.con<\/p>\n
\n\nBuckner suffered the neck injury in Indianapolis\u2019 Week 9\u00a0loss\u00a0to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Steichen revealed, and did not provide a timetable for Buckner\u2019s return.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, we\u2019ll get him back,\u201d Steichen said, via\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Josh Kendall, adding the Colts are intent on being careful with Buckner\u2019s health following the injury.<\/p>\n
Buckner\u2019s IR placement means he\u2019ll miss the Colts\u2019 next four games \u2014 a total that spans five weeks due to Indianapolis\u2019 Week 11 bye \u2014 before he can be designated to return to action. Those games include\u00a0Sunday\u2019s date\u00a0with the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, followed by contests at Kansas City (Week 12) and Jacksonville (Week 14), which bookend a home date with the AFC South rival Houston Texans in Week 13.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hot Takes Week 10: 2025 season will be on the line against the Broncos<\/p>\n
\n\nThe season \u2014 not just the division \u2014 will be on the line in Denver<\/strong><\/p>\n
If the Chiefs lose to the\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0next week, I firmly believe the division is a wrap. Denver would be 9-2, while the Chiefs would fall to 5-5.<\/p>\n
But I still believe Kansas City would make the playoffs as a Wild Card, so I can\u2019t agree that the season is on the line. An 11-6 record should be enough to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n
If the Chiefs go 10-7, though, things could get very murky \u2014 especially without tiebreakers against teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
