100 biggest questions with 100 days until 2019 season kicks off | NFL
10) What will be the outcome of the child-abuse investigation involving Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill?
48) Can Patrick Mahomes get even better?
49) How will the rebuilt Chiefs’ defense perform?
The lawsuit had accused Hunt of improperly securing hundreds of millions of dollars in state investment money through a “pay to play” arrangement 14 years ago with political insiders Anthony and Marc Correra.
Sammy Watkins Prepares For Pivotal Year With Kansas City Chiefs | Forbes
If he doesn’t improve his production, there is a slight chance the Chiefs could release him after the 2019 season. Because of the front-loaded deal, Kansas City would only be on the hook for $7 million in dead cap money at that point.
Which NFL Teams Will Have the Biggest Contracts Due? | Sports Illustrated
4. Kansas City Chiefs: Patrick Mahomes’s rookie contract doesn’t expire until after next season, and maybe we’re putting a little too much pressure on the young star here. However, wildly conservative estimates (in my opinion) have him earning $35 million per year on his first post-rookie mega deal. If he continues on something even close to this trajectory, Mahomes is going to command more than that. And $40 million per season is an awful lot to budget for. Oh, and Chris Jones is very good too—and he seems to know it.
Each NFL team’s backup quarterback right now, ranked by tier | SB Nation
Tier III: Career backups
Chad Henne, Chiefs
This group is comprised of quarterbacks who accepted they look better on the sideline wearing a headset than on the field wearing a helmet. They’re fine, and you hope to never see them for more than a few garbage-time series per season.
42. Will Shields, OL, Kansas City Chiefs
DRAFTED: Round 3, No. 74 overall, 1993
12-time Pro Bowler. Three-time first-team All-Pro. Four-time second-team All-Pro.
47. Jared Allen, DE, Kansas City Chiefs
DRAFTED: Round 4, No. 126 overall, 2004
Five-time Pro Bowler. Four-time first-team All-Pro. Two-time sacks leader.
MOST INCONSISTENT
Sammy Watkins, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Watkins’ ranking here is mostly injury-related, due to hamstring and foot injuries. Including the playoffs, he played on more than 12 snaps in just 10 games. Across those 10 games, he was moderately consistent and fairly productive, averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game, which would have ranked 25th-best last year.

“We definitely both respect each other’s games,” Barkley said, per Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com. “Obviously, he sat out last year and that’s just not good for the league in general because he is such a tremendous player and you look forward to seeing a guy like that on Sundays.”
The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association will expire after the 2020 season.

The 49ers announced on Tuesday that they’ve decided to cut ties with Davis, who was selected by San Francisco with the 11th overall pick during the 2010 NFL Draft.
