Dolphins free agent Damien Williams has visits set up with Chiefs and Colts | Sun Sentinel
Williams, who has served as Miami’s third-down tailback and a special-teams ace for the past four seasons, will visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, and the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday.
While the terms of the agreement were in place — Washington would send cornerback Kendall Fuller and a third-round pick to the Chiefs in exchange for Smith, who would sign an extension that would keep him in the District of Columbia though 2022 — and the news leaked on Jan. 30, the deal wouldn't be official until 4 p.m. on March 14, the start of the new league year. That meant there would be no public celebration of the trade. Not yet.
Chiefs QB Chad Henne Embraces Opportunity to Help Patrick Mahomes | Chiefs.com
“I actually met Pat last year,” (Chad Henne) said. “He came into Jacksonville for a visit, just briefly shook his hand, but seemed like a good country boy which is kind of cool. Definitely a lot of talent. I’ve seen bits and pieces of film on him just being in Jacksonville, but he played that last game against Denver, strong arm, seems to have right kind of head on his shoulders, which is great.
“I think he just has a great work ethic from what I’ve heard, so I think that’s cool.”

Jets Sign LB Kevin Pierre-Louis | SB Nation (NYJ)
Success in the NFL has been more elusive. Pierre-Louis played three years with the Seahawks, never amassing more than 13 tackles in any year. His most productive year came last year with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he amassed 35 tackles in 500 snaps, half of which were on special teams.
Adding tight end Trey Burton leaves Bears with a big decision on Dion Sims | Chicago Tribune
Burton figures to be the biggest chess piece at the position for Nagy. While Burton might not approach the playing time Travis Kelce had with the Chiefs last season — 84.9 percent — he figures to be heavily involved in the offensive scheme and will be moved all over the formation.
Lions are set up to draft a RB even after signing LeGarrette Blount | MLive.com
Kamara dominated in New Orleans because he got to be the change of pace to Mark Ingram's between-the-tackles work. In Kansas City, Hunt was like the final piece to a highly schemed, speed-based offense that needed a downhill banger.
The process is more complicated in Detroit, which hasn't had a 100-yard rusher in four whole years. It'll take a village to raise this child, and with seasoned offensive line coaches in Jeff Davidson and Hank Fraley and with a two-time Super Bowl winner in Blount, you're starting to see the buildings Quinn is putting in place.
Former Buffalo Bills players cash in early in 2018 NFL free agency | SB Nation (BUF)
Despite only recording 39 catches for 593 yards, Sammy Watkins was able to stay healthy during his short stint with the Los Angeles Rams. As a result, he was wooed by the Kansas City Chiefs to the tune of a three-year, $48 million contract. The Chiefs are clearly enamored with Watkins’ potential, as general manager Brett Veach recently stated, “He went top ten for a reason.”

Chiefs Reportedly Looking at Xavier Williams
Given the current state of the defense line, this is a signing that interests me at this point (without reviewing the film, it’s tough to say more). The Chiefs need more bodies up front, and it’s good to see they know this.
Chiefs GM Brett Veach: It’s hard to acquire guys like Sammy Watkins
“It’s just hard to acquire these guys,” he said, almost beaming. “When you’re sitting in free agency and you see a 24-year-old elite playmaker, you don’t get those opportunities a lot, and with what we have where we’re going ... we said we may not get this chance again ... we got one chance to go get him. Let’s make it happen.”
