\nLB<\/strong> Nick Bolton to the Broncos<\/strong><\/p>\n
Bolton would be a big upgrade for coordinator Vance Joseph\u2019s defense. Bolton fits with the Broncos as a downhill thumper against the run \u2014 he had 11 tackles for loss last season. He lacks elite second-level range in coverage, but he has four career interceptions. \u2014 Matt Bowen, NFL analyst<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Agent\u2019s Take: Target prices for 10 intriguing offensive players with expiring contracts, including Sam Darnold | CBS Sports<\/p>\n
\nTrey Smith<\/p>\n
Franchise tag: <\/strong>$23.402 million
\nContract package: <\/strong>$95 million\/4 years ($23.75 million per year)
\nOverall guarantees: <\/strong>$60 million
\nFully guaranteed at signing: <\/strong>$50 million<\/p>\nInterior offensive linemen are rarely given franchise tags because there isn\u2019t a differentiation between the three main positions (center, guard and tackle). This didn\u2019t deter the Kansas City Chiefs from making Smith a franchise player.<\/p>\n
Smith easily would have been the best offensive lineman available in free agency. He earned his first Pro Bowl berth last year.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
NFL free agency 2025 predictions: One top target for every team | The Athletic<\/p>\n
\nKansas City Chiefs: LT Ronnie Stanley<\/p>\n
The Eagles made it abundantly clear in Super Bowl LIX the Chiefs need to upgrade Patrick Mahomes\u2019 offensive line. After utilizing a patchwork line in 2024, look for Kansas City to devote resources in free agency and the draft to solidify the unit. Stanley, who has spent his entire career with the Ravens and just made his second Pro Bowl appearance, would give Mahomes a reliable blind-side protector.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
DK Metcalf trade: Best team fits, offers for Seahawks | ESPN<\/p>\n
\nKansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n
This would be juicy. The Chiefs also have offensive line issues after trading away guard Joe Thuney earlier this week, but general manager Brett Veach might be confident he can draft and develop linemen on the interior and add a veteran tackle in free agency. With Travis Kelce dropping to last in ESPN\u2019s Receiver Scores and additions such as Marquise Brown and DeAndre Hopkins failing to sustain their impact, the Chiefs were essentially down to rookie first-rounder Xavier Worthy as their only reliable receiver in the Super Bowl. You saw how that went.<\/p>\n
The forgotten man here is Rashee Rice, who injured his knee in October and missed the rest of the season. His presence would seem to render a Metcalf move unlikely. Rice and Worthy could be a dynamic one-two punch and would cost peanuts, given that they\u2019re both on rookie deals for a couple more years. It seems clear the Chiefs have deliberately attempted to find low-cost options at receiver in the years after trading Hill, preferring to spend money on their offensive line and at tight end.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Five potential trade destinations for Seahawks WR DK Metcalf | Yardbarker<\/p>\n
\nKansas City Chiefs<\/strong><\/p>\n
Speaking of the Chiefs, they could give quarterback Patrick Mahomes his most talented wide receiver since Tyreek Hill by acquiring Metcalf.<\/p>\n
Kansas City hasn\u2019t had a 1,000-yard wide receiver since trading Hill to the Dolphins in 2022, but Metcalf would have a strong chance of ending the drought. With tight end Travis Kelce potentially playing his final season in 2025, adding Metcalf could also ensure Mahomes has a Pro Bowl-level talent for future seasons in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bengals letting star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson seek trade | ESPN<\/p>\n
\nThis time his request was granted. Cincinnati\u2019s front office is allowing Hendrickson to seek out a new team.<\/p>\n
Hendrickson expressed gratitude for the ability to find a new club despite having one year left on his current contract, telling ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter: \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor and a privilege to represent Cincinnati over the last four years. I love this city and organization. I appreciate the privilege of now being allowed to explore my options.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chiefs News: The Patriots also wanted to trade for Joe Thuney<\/p>\n
\nAccording to a report published by Nick Goss of NBC Sports Boston on Thursday, another team was interested in trading for the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 left guard Joe Thuney: the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n
The MMQB\u2019s Albert Breer said Wednesday on NBC Sports Boston\u2019s Boston Sports Tonight<\/em> that the Patriots called the Chiefs about a potential Thuney trade but weren\u2019t willing to meet the asking price.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey talked to the Chiefs about Joe Thuney, obviously they wouldn\u2019t meet their price, which seems a little crazy given their offensive line issues, and the fact that this is a future fourth-round pick,\u201d Breer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would have some questions if it was this year\u2019s fourth-round pick because they\u2019ve only got eight picks and a ton of roster needs to take care of and they need to draft well, and need that margin for error.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I am a little surprised they weren\u2019t willing to go to that price.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Thuney was traded to the Chicago Bears in exchange for their fourth-round pick in 2026. The All-Pro left guard spent the first five seasons of his career with the Patriots, who drafted him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
Mike Vrabel \u2014 who played for both New England and Kansas City during a 14-year NFL career \u2014 is preparing for his first season as the Patriots\u2019 head coach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
