The Chiefs need an OT and one of the better ones in Donald Penn is going to hit free agency. This might be too pricey for them. I imagine the Chiefs are going to do some bargain hunting at OT.

Eagles are talking about trading CB Byron Maxwell AND LB Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins. Maxwell signed a huge contract last year (six years, $63 million). Good job by Doug Pederson if the Eagles can get out of that contract. I wouldn't be shocked if Sean Smith got a similar deal this year.

The Dolphins are reportedly planning on cutting CB Brent Grimes. He's 5'10 and has been a Pro Bowler in the past. The last Dolphins corner signed by the Chiefs worked out pretty well (that would be Sean Smith).

The Chiefs have some interest in former Raiders WR Rod Streater, according to Terez Paylor.
@ArrowheadPride Smart play. Could be top under-the-radar free agent out there. Just had some bad luck past two seasons.

A Bay Area radio host says the Chiefs and 49ers have talked about a De'Anthony Thomas trade. Huh? DAT's season ended oddly so I guess I can see this. Would you rather have a sixth or seventh round pick or DAT? I'd probably lean to the latter.
Heard the #49ers have had talks with KC about acquiring De'Anthony Thomas in a trade

Robert Griffin III has been released. Media folks are saying the Chiefs make the most sense, and I would agree if a) the money is cheap and b) RGIII is willing to sit behind Alex Smith for a year or two. Other than that I'm not sure it's worth the Chiefs time.
I know @JeffDarlington has mentioned it, I'd echo his sentiment -- Chiefs look to me like the best fit for Robert Griffin III.

The Jets may let QB Ryan Fitzpatrick hit the free agent market. New York could be a team that looks at QB Chase Daniel if that's the case.
This is a surprise: #Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is expected to hit the free agent market, sources say. Sides are far apart on a potential deal
