Broncos

Broncos OLB Nik Bonitto said he’s in contract discussions with the team but said that he’s letting his agent handle the negotiations.

“Yeah, I mean, those type of talks are happening right now, but I kind of just keep that with my agent — just let him handle that,” Bonitto said, via Broncos Wire. “My focus is just winning and trying to get a championship. The edge market is kind of crazy right now, just knowing that everybody’s getting these big deals and it’s only getting bigger and bigger. Luckily for me, I’m in a good position right now where the market’s kind of in my favor.”

It’s something we would never discuss with you. And those guys are getting work done. There’s been good communication and I’m going to leave at that.” (Mike Klis)

Chiefs

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is still just 29 years old, but admitted that he has a better understanding of his body and is planning for longevity as his thirtieth birthday approaches.

“It’s been a fun run,” Mahomes said, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. “We’ve had a lot of great players in this building, a lot of great people and so it makes it enjoyable to come to work every single day. I still have some guys with me that have been there the whole time and then adding new guys gives you a new juice and a new spirit to go out there and be even better. There are a lot of young guys now so just trying to relate to them as much as I can but at the same time, I’m still not 30 yet so I feel like I can for at least right now.”

“More than anything I have a better understanding of my body,” Mahomes added. “I know the extra amount of recovery stuff I need to do, how to feel my best on a day-to-day basis. Obviously I probably bounced back a little bit quicker when I was younger but at the same time, I have a better plan and a better standard that I hold myself to on a day-to-day basis so I can be ready for every single practice.”

• The Chiefs announced the promotion of several individuals on their staff, including Mike Bradway and Chris Shea to Assistant GM, Ryne Nutt and Tim Terry to VP of Player Personnel, and Mike Richards to Director of Football Research and Development.
• Kansas City has also hired Dru Grigson as Senior College and Pro Scouting Executive, and Sarah Pollack as a Football Data Science Fellow.
