2026 NFL contract extension updates for all 32 teams | ESPN
Kansas City Chiefs
OT Jaylon Moore
The odds are low for Moore, a five-year veteran, to receive a contract extension before the season. But he makes the most sense for the Chiefs, who have financially solidified just about all of their core contributors. Moore will first need to beat out Kahlil Benson, an undrafted rookie from Indiana, to earn the starting right tackle role and then have a strong preseason. If that happens, the Chiefs could try to extend Moore to ensure he and the rest of the starting offensive line will be in place for 2026 while Patrick Mahomes recovers from his left knee injury. — Nate Taylor
Chiefs Youngster Was ‘Everywhere’ at Minicamp, Supporting $51 Million Decision | Heavy Sports
“Second-year corner Nohl Williams was everywhere,” McMullen told fans. “He made numerous plays on the ball across 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, including an interception in the end zone.”
“[Williams has] looked strong throughout the offseason and has the look of a player ready to make a big jump in year number two,” the team reporter concluded.
In part, the Chiefs’ trust in Williams led to two major decisions this offseason. Kansas City shocked the NFL world, trading star CB Trent McDuffie to a potential Super Bowl threat on the NFC side, and then they doubled down on the youth when they elected to pass on re-signing Jaylen Watson.
Watson’s valuation ended up being three years, $51 million, and that was not a price the Chiefs were willing to pay, as the former seventh-rounder decided to join McDuffie on the Los Angeles Rams. Williams may directly slot in for Watson long term.
Now, it remains to be seen if KC made the right choice moving on from McDuffie and Watson, but Williams’ rise played a huge role in this massive leap of faith. That, and the confidence they had in 2026 first-round draft prospect Mansoor Delane.
Former Dolphins coach opens up about nightmare conditions in Chiefs’ playoff game | Arrowhead Addict
Vikings assistant head coach Frank Smith was on the sidelines for that freezing cold game in K.C. as the Dolphins’ offensive coordinator and recently spoke about the experience. The Chiefs went on to win the game convincingly but clearly Smith still was fired up about it years after the fact.
“After ’23, we’re [the] No. 1 offense, [the] end of the season didn’t go the way [we wanted]. Then we have to play a challenging playoff team up in Kansas City, and probably the worst weather conditions a South Florida team could play in — minus 25 degrees. It was 80 degrees when we took off and then when we land it’s -20 degrees. It’s a 100 degree temperature difference,” Smith said on The Set with Terron Armstead*. “It was inhumane. I don’t give a [expletive] where...
