Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu retiring after 12 seasons | NFL.com
In a late-July surprise, Tyrann Mathieu is calling it a career.
The decorated safety is retiring after 12 NFL seasons, the Saints announced Tuesday.
Although he compiled an underwhelming 2024 season, the 33-year-old safety was expected to fill one half of a headline-grabbing safety tandem (with former teammate Justin Reid) in the back end of New Orleans’ defense in 2025. Instead, the Louisiana native is walking away from a Saints team that finds itself in a...

Kansas City opened its 2025 training camp on Tuesday, allowing us a good look at several newcomers in action.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs opened their 2025 training camp at Missouri Western State University in St.Joseph, giving their fans a first look at a few of the team’s newest members.
As usual, the first practice was a quick, efficient day with numerous individual periods and few full-team periods. And while there is only so much to take away from a non-padded, low-contact practice, it was still intriguing to see where Kansas City’s new players lined up — and which...

After Kansas City’s first training camp practice, Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes spoke about the rookie left tackle.
On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs took the field for their first practice of 2025 training camp. Of the 91 players in attendance, there is perhaps no player more deserving of attention than first-round rookie Josh Simmons.
After the Chiefs selected Simmons out of Ohio State with the No. 32 overall pick in this year’s draft, the almost immediate consensus was that Kansas City had pulled a grand heist on the rest of the NFL. Simmons was considered a likely top-10 pick...

There were no new injuries to report as Kansas City’s training camp began on Tuesday morning.
As the Kansas City Chiefs opened their training camp at Missouri Western University on Tuesday morning, just three players were not participating in practice: right tackle Jawaan Taylor, cornerback Kristian Fulton and tight end Tre Watson.
Our Pete Sweeney noted this was not unexpected. On Sunday, head coach Andy Reid announced all three would begin training camp on the team’s Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list.
As we reported on Sunday, they all missed time during Kansas City’s offseason program. The Chiefs have confirmed that Fulton and...

Kansas City’s training camp is underway in St. Joseph. Right now, here’s how we see late August’s 53-man roster.
The Kansas City Chiefs will hold their first training camp practice Tuesday morning, with four full-team workouts scheduled from Tuesday to Friday. The Chiefs have their first off day on Saturday.
As we repeat annually, while we always try to do our best in these projection exercises, there is almost no chance this matches the final 53 on August 26 — and it is nearly impossible to account for players who are to be released from other rosters.
My projections blend...

Ranking 2025 NFL rosters: Best projected starting lineups | ESPN
Biggest strength: Quarterback. I was tempted to pivot to wide receiver, but even after finishing eighth in QBR the past two seasons, Patrick Mahomes remains Kansas City’s best player. The two-time league MVP has led his team to 10-plus wins (career-high 15 in 2024) and the AFC Championship Game seven seasons in a row. He has won the Super Bowl and the Super Bowl MVP three times each — and he’s not even 30....

In four years at Baylor, Presley logged more than 1,000 receiving yards.
The Kansas City Chiefs have added wide receiver Hal Presley to their 90-man roster, according to the NFL’s official transactions report.
Presley entered the league this past spring as an undrafted free agent from Baylor. The 6‑foot‑3, 197‑pound receiver first landed with the Buffalo Bills but was cut after their two‑day rookie minicamp.
Over a four-year college career in Waco, Presley logged 81 receptions, 1,048 yards and seven touchdowns. He earned an All‑Big 12 honorable mention in 2022 with 32 catches for 382 yards and four scores.

Let’s discuss the next contract up in the Chiefs’ long-term plans.
On Sunday afternoon, defensive end George Karlaftis agreed to terms on a long-term contract extension. This offseason, the Chiefs have been forthcoming about their order of plans:
Around the time the Chiefs agreed to terms with Smith, the New York Jets made Sauce Gardner the league’s highest-paid cornerback ($120 million, including $60 million in guarantees). In March, Houston Texans...

Who wins the left tackle job in Kansas City?
Along the way to Super Bowl LIX many experts pointed to the offensive line as a potential problem for the Kansas City Chiefs. Yet as they rolled through the regular season and into the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes and company found ways to overcome that perceived weakness.
