Chiefs | Kenneth Walker may see more work as receiver Wed May 6, 01:52 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III said he has been spending time with QB Patrick Mahomes this offseason and believes he will be more involved in the passing game with the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Walker has earned a reputation as a run-first back in his four NFL seasons, averaging fewer than 40 catches and 300 yards receiving per year over four seasons in Seattle. But Walker has been spending time with Patrick Mahomes this offseason trying to get ready for an expanded role as a pass-catcher -- and, over the past five years, three different KC RBs have had at least 40 receptions in a season. Two of those seasons came with OC Eric Bieniemy. The return of Bieniemy could mean more opportunities for Walker. |
Chiefs | GM Veach: Patrick Mahomes is way ahead of schedule Tue May 5, 01:37 PM
Over the weekend, Chiefs coach Andy Reid noted that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will likely be able to participate in OTAs in some capacity, despite tearing his ACL in December. Kansas City General Manager Brett Veach also spoke over the weekend, noting just how much progress Mahomes has made in his recovery. "He's way ahead of schedule," Veach said of Mahomes. "I think the biggest challenge we're going to have is protecting him against himself, because I'm sure when we get to St. Joseph, Missouri, for training camp, he's going to want to be full go."
| Footballguys view: Veach was quick to add, "We're going to have to hold him back a little. And again, I don't want to put a timetable on it. But I think you guys know the kind of person and competitor Pat is, and I would say, we're in a really good place right now." Reid hinted that Mahomes could open camp on the physically unable to perform list. But as PFT suggests, with the way Veach described Mahomes' progress in his rehab, Mahomes is doing everything he can to be on the field as a full participant in late July. |

Chiefs | Emmett Johnson signs rookie contract with KC Tue May 5, 01:08 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emmett Johnson signed a four-year deal with the team on Tuesday, May 16. No financial terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Dave Kluge noted in the 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Johnson could be the Chiefs' primary pass catcher. Ken Walker III hasn't displayed a consistent ability to draw targets through his career, and Andy Reid likes to have designated roles for his running backs. There's a narrow path that needs to play a valuable role. But, Kluge added, "The floor for Johnson is low. He fell to Day 3 and doesn't have the best athletic profile. In a weak rookie class overall, he's worth a late-round dart throw in deep leagues, but not without downside." |

Link to story Chiefs | More on Patrick Mahomes at OTAs Sun May 3, 03:30 PM
Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is on track to participate in organized team activities (OTAs), even if it is in a limited capacity. 'He is in a good position to be able to do some things,' head coach Andy Reid said. 'If he can do some things, [he'll do it]. Phase 2 [of the offseason program], remember, there's no contact and there's no offense versus defense. It's Phase 3 that you get into that. ... He's in a position where he can do everything, I think.'
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Nate Taylor, Mahomes has spent most days since his procedure inside the Chiefs' training facility as part of his rehab. In late March, Mahomes posted a four-second social media clip of him throwing the ball again inside a training gym. Since then, Mahomes has continued to increase his workout sessions. If he avoids landing on the physically unable to perform at the start of training camp, it would be a good sign for his chances of being in the lineup when the Chiefs take the field in Week 1 of the regular season. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes uncertain for workouts Sat May 2, 05:53 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is making progress in his recovery but head coach Andy Reid said he is not sure if Mahomes will be able to participate when offseason workouts begin.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are going to be wisely cautious as the best quarterback in the game returns from this knee injury. There is currently some uncertainty in this situation, but that's going to clear up as training camp gets here later in the summer. If he does get work in minicamp and OTAs, Mahomes should be quite limited even though Reid said, "You just have to evaluate what you want to do there. But he's in a position where he can do everything, I think." |

Link to story Chiefs | Kansas City 'shocked' to have Emmett Johnson Tue Apr 28, 01:19 PM
Chiefs vice president of player personnel Ryne Nutt says the team was 'shocked' they could select RB Emmett Johnson in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: According to SBNation's Ron Kopp Jr., Johnson is projected to be the immediate backup to free-agent addition Ken Walker III, who will handle the lead role. But don't be surprised if Johnson earns his way onto the field on pass downs or in other situations. While there's a path to a role here, Footballguy Dave Kluge, in the 2026 Rookie Draft Guide 3.0, suggests "the floor for Johnson is low." |

Link to story Chiefs | Jadyn Ott lands UDFA deal with Kansas City Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Oklahoma RB Jaydn Ott, an undrafted free agent, is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source said Saturday, April 25. DeMarco Murray, a former Sooners standout, and running backs coach from 2020-25, is the current Chiefs RB coach, so he gets his guy.
| Footballguys view: Chiefs fifth round pick Emmett Johnson Jr. is a very good running back in the Kareem Hunt mold, but Ott looked like one of the best backs in this class during his first two college seasons, only to get hurt and fall off of the map at the end of the last two. That his running back coach is on the Chiefs staff and vouched for means that we should be monitoring the news out of Kansas City about their rookie backs very closely. |

Link to story Chiefs | Jeff Caldwell signed Sun Apr 26, 10:55 AM
Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 25, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Caldwell's size (6'5" 216), speed (4.31 40), and leaping (42" vert 11'2" broad) athletic testing numbers might make you think he is Calvin Johnson, but the soccer convert is more like Calvin Klein as a wide receiver at this point. He needs a year or two to develop, but Caldwell is worth stashing in dynasty leagues if your bench is deep enough or you have practice squads. |
Chiefs | John Michael Gyllenborg headed to KC Sun Apr 26, 10:51 AM
Wyoming TE John Michael Gyllenborg signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 25, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Gyllenborg was maybe the most athletic tight end in this year's class and he looks the part in his small sample size as a receiver, but he's a project who needs at least one redshirt year on the practice squad to prepare for the transition from Wyoming to the NFL. We monitor anyone who has a chance to play with Patrick Mahomes in the future. |
