<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n2025 NFL free agency grades: Team-by-team marks as Vikings address major needs, retooling 49ers fail | CBS Sports<\/p>\n
\nKansas City Chiefs: A-<\/strong><\/p>\n
Key additions and re-signings<\/strong>: OT Jaylon Moore, RB Elijah Mitchell, CB Kristian Fulton, OG Trey Smith (franchise tag), LB Nick Bolton, WR Marquise Brown<\/p>\n
Key departures<\/strong>: OG Joe Thuney, S Justin Reid, WR DeAndre Hopkins, DT Tershawn Wharton, OLB Josh Uche<\/p>\n
I like how the Chiefs have rebounded following their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles. They placed the franchise tag on Trey Smith, quickly targeted Patrick Mahomes\u2019 new left tackle in Jaylon Moore, added a starting cornerback in Kristian Fulton, retained linebacker and defensive quarterback Nick Bolton and re-signed wide receivers Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. We\u2019ll see if Moore is the long-term answer at left tackle and how left guard shakes out, but Kansas City has done a good job.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Chiefs Mourn the Passing of Chiefs Radio Network Executive Producer Dan Israel | The Mothership<\/p>\n
\nChiefs Head Coach Andy Reid<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cI was saddened to hear of the passing of Dan Israel this morning. Danny was part of every Chiefs game of my entire career, and I consider it a great privilege to have been able to watch him work as part of the Chiefs Radio Network. He was a model of professionalism, commitment, and kindness, and he brought a passion to his work that was unmatched, even as he privately battled health conditions for years. Chiefs Kingdom was lucky to have Danny be part of their football lives for 35 seasons, and I am forever grateful to have learned so much from him in my time here. All of Chiefs Kingdom will miss Danny, and I extend my thoughts and prayers to his family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Why Patrick Mahomes will love Jaylon Moore and more from the Chiefs\u2019 free-agent signees | The Athletic<\/p>\n
\nIn the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, Moore played 279 pass-blocking snaps and allowed just two sacks. The Chiefs are optimistic that he is ready for an increase in responsibility after being a four-year understudy behind Trent Williams, one of the league\u2019s best left tackles.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was everything I could\u2019ve imagined,\u201d Moore said of Williams. \u201cYou sit in the film room every day, and I set a standard for myself. Being able to study behind him and critique my game based on what I see made all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty big on technique and finishing, just trying to be the nasty guy who is always still honing on my technique.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore vowed to do everything possible through the offseason program to build a strong relationship with Mahomes so the quarterback can trust him by opening day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Four-round 2025 NFL mock draft: Three QBs taken in top seven picks; Steelers select RB in first round | NFL.com<\/p>\n
\n27 –<\/strong>Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n
Tyler Booker<\/p>\n
Alabama \u00b7 OG \u00b7 Junior<\/p>\n
PROJECTED TRADE WITH BALTIMORE RAVENS<\/strong><\/p>\n
Kansas City is haunted by its inability to stop Philadelphia\u2019s front four in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs signed 49ers backup tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million free-agent deal, but they keep addressing the OL issue in this exercise. K.C. sends first- and third-round selections to Baltimore for this pick and a fourth-rounder, adding Booker to replace Joe Thuney up front.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Around the NFL<\/strong><\/h2>\n
QB Jameis Winston agrees to 2-year, $8M deal with Giants | ESPN<\/p>\n
\nThe signing comes after weeks of the Giants flirting with Aaron Rodgers and missing out on Matthew Stafford, who remained with the Los Angeles Rams on a new contract. Rodgers visited with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier Friday, hours before New York pivoted to Winston.<\/p>\n
It was starting to seem in recent days as if the Giants were a long shot for Rodgers, the four-time MVP. Winston gives them a quarterback capable of starting who can also serve as a mentor to a young quarterback from the draft.<\/p>\n
New York is still expected to add to its quarterback room this offseason despite the addition of Winston. It still needs a young quarterback, who is most likely to come in the draft. The Giants currently hold the No. 3 pick.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Aaron Rodgers visits Steelers: QB leaves facility without agreement in place, deal not imminent, per reports | CBS Sports<\/p>\n
\nRodgers has reportedly been trying to decide between signing with the Steelers, the New York Giants or retirement. The Minnesota Vikings, who had also been linked with Rodgers, have reportedly decided to instead move forward with 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy, who missed his entire rookie season season due to injury.<\/p>\n
A four-time league MVP, Rodgers is coming off a 2024 season that saw him rank in the top 10 in the NFL in both passing yards and touchdown passes. While most would consider that a banner year, it was not a typical season for Rodgers, who suffered through the worst year of his career from a win-loss standpoint. The Jets\u2019 5-12 record last year prompted major change within the organization that included the team\u2019s new brass electing not to bring back Rodgers, who officially became a free agent shortly after free agency officially started on March 12.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
In case you missed it on Arrowhead Pride<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Chiefs Roster: New DL Jerry Tillery is glad to see some familiar faces<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019ve played against the Chiefs [in] six years of my career now,\u201d he explained. \u201cFour in L.A. and then two in Las Vegas. I\u2019ve been to Kansas City a couple of times now.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I\u2019ve been watching this team closely my whole career. Obviously they \u2014 I guess we,<\/em> now \u2014 have been on the top of the AFC West for a long time. My job here is to continue that dominance.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Kansas City, Tillery is looking forward to lining up next to one of the league\u2019s premier pass rushers: defensive lineman Chris Jones.<\/p>\n
\u201c[He\u2019s] is an incredible player \u2014 someone who I am excited to play with,\u201d said Tillery. \u201cI\u2019ve watched him over the years as well. [He\u2019s] somebody at the top of our game, who\u2019s doing it the best. So to watch this guy work \u2014 and to be with him? I think that type of player is someone who can raise everybody\u2019s level. And Chris Jones is a great guy, so I\u2019m excited to get to know him better \u2014 and even more excited to play with him.\u201c<\/p>\n
One other Kansas City player will need no introduction: linebacker Drue Tranquill, who was Tillery\u2019s teammate at Notre Dame University and with the Chargers.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrue is one of the best guys I know,\u201d said Tillery . \u201cA great football player \u2014 [and] even better person. [He\u2019s a] man of the Lord [and] loves his family. He\u2019s doing it right \u2014 and he\u2019s killing it on the football field as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know Drue\u2019s had a lot of success here. I\u2019m looking forward to getting back with Drue and playing with him again. \u201c<\/p>\n
But while he\u2019s not acquainted with Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Tillery is also excited about not having to stop him.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot having to try to defend this guy when the money is on the line? That\u2019s going to be different,\u201d said Tillery. \u201cBut to watch him cook \u2014 for our team on the same sideline \u2014 will definitely be a different experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
