\n

8. <\/strong>Patrick Mahomes (<\/strong>Chiefs)<\/strong><\/p>\n

His 2024 had a lot of similarities to that of his Super Bowl LIX opponent, Jalen Hurts; his passing marks weren\u2019t \u201celite\u201d as he prioritized ball control, but he came through in the clutch, winning on the margins as a killer scrambler. The difference: Mahomes was then totally, almost shockingly, neutralized in the big game.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trey Smith<\/p>\n

OG \u00b7 Age: 26<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n

More than 130 million people just watched Kansas City\u2019s offensive line crumble beneath the sheer force of the Eagles\u2019 pass rush in Super Bowl LIX. So I don\u2019t care what it takes, but the Chiefs must<\/em> retain one of their best blockers. It would be asinine to let Smith walk, and jeopardize the interior, when there are already massive issues at tackle; that Pro Bowl guard Joe Thuney had to kick outside just to settle the unit back toward an average level of performance says everything. If the Chiefs fancy themselves as Super Bowl contenders going forward, they cannot overlook the trenches. Use the tag or sign Trey Smith to a long-term, backloaded deal \u2014 just don\u2019t let him leave Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kansas City: WR Stefon Diggs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Chiefs would love to bolster their offensive line in free agency, but they have just $8 million in cap space and may need the draft to fill holes at tackle and at guard if Trey Smith gets a bag elsewhere in free agency.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ll go with something unlikely but fun. Diggs is, uh, mercurial. He\u2019s coming off a serious injury. And the Chiefs haven\u2019t had great success acquiring veteran receivers.<\/p>\n

But there could be significant turnover at wideout in Kansas City this offseason, and Patrick Mahomes and a healthy Diggs on the same offense could be something to see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

31. <\/strong>Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n

Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s telling that the Chiefs\u2019 two Super Bowl losses over the past few years have come down to pass protection woes, and the big issue right now is the left tackle spot. Neither Wanya Morris nor Kingsley Suamataia did enough to keep the job, and D.J. Humphries\u2019 impact was very limited coming off his torn ACL. Moving Joe Thuney outside helped, but it also came at the expense of the interior. And with guard Trey Smith potentially leaving town for big money in March, the Chiefs can\u2019t rely on Thuney outside again.<\/p>\n

Ersery is a massive blocker at 6-6 and 330 pounds, and he shows ample power and movement skills on tape. He allowed just four sacks over 39 college starts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Commanders grant DT Jonathan Allen permission to seek trade | NFL.com<\/p>\n

\n

The Commanders have had trade conversations surrounding defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and the club is planning to help the two-time Pro Bowler find an ideal landing spot by granting him permission to seek a trade, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Entering the final year of his contract in 2025, Allen is due $15.5 million this season but that base salary is not guaranteed, Rapoport and Pelissero added.<\/p>\n

General manager Adam Peters told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine that Washington wanted to give Allen a chance to explore other opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going into the last year of his deal,\u201d Peters said of Allen. \u201cWe wanted to give him and his representation and we talked about it. We wanted to give him a chance to explore other opportunities. So, we\u2019ll let them do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Eric DeCosta on Justin Tucker: The allegations, amount of allegations are serious, concerning | NBC Sports<\/p>\n

\n

While the Ravens organization has mostly remained silent on the situation, General Manager Eric DeCosta fielded questions about Tucker during his Tuesday press conference at the 2025 scouting combine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegations are serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning,\u201d DeCosta said. \u201cI think we\u2019re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We\u2019ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and make our decisions based on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeCosta noted that the Ravens became aware of the allegations against Tucker when they were alerted about a local news outlet reporting on them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vincent did not identify the team that made the proposal when he made his comments \u2014 during a break in meetings between NFL officials and the competition committee \u2014 to The Washington Post and NFL Network.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, however, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst confirmed that his team made the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know we\u2019re not very successful against it, I know that. But to be honest with you, I have not put much thought into it. It\u2019s been around for a while,\u201d he said at the combine. \u201cWe\u2019ve used it in different fashions with our tight end [Tucker Kraft]. I think there will be a lot of discussions about it. I\u2019ve got to kind of look at some of the information as far as injury rates and things like that, but we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Chiefs-Eagles: My trip to Super Bowl LIX<\/p>\n

\n

The Big Easy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going from a serene state park into the bustling streets of New Orleans felt like going from naturally laid-back Southern living into a movie set. I was awestruck by the enormous throngs of people who had swarmed into the city for the game. The national spotlight was burning brightly!<\/p>\n

When I arrived at Bourbon Street, the full New Orleans vibe was everywhere: \u201cCome one, come all! Old, young, rich, poor, Philadelphia or Kansas Citian \u2014 but do have a good time!\u201d<\/p>\n

The crowd was hypnotic. It drew you in, making you go deeper and deeper into the experience. And the further you got, the more you could find.<\/p>\n

As my Uber driver put it: \u201cAll the food is good \u2014 and if it isn\u2019t, that place won\u2019t be around very long.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the first restaurant I tried, I was exposed to true Southern comfort: gumbo, jambalaya, red rice, beans, spicy cornbread and some excellent fried shrimp.<\/p>\n

Then came a trip to the New Orleans Convention Center to walk it off \u2014 and see the NFL\u2019s Super Bowl Experience. In typical fashion, the $10 event cost $40. But it was clear the league had gone all out, creating a family-friendly attraction for out-of-town fans and the hometown crowd.<\/p>\n

The locals surely loved the exhibit honoring Willie Roaf \u2014 a great player for both the New Orleans Saints and the Chiefs. It brought back fond memories of my earliest days as a fan, reminding me why I had made the trip.<\/p>\n

Next, I visited Mr. Ed\u2019s Seafood, which had been recommended by many people. I tried oysters \u2014 both raw and fried \u2014 crabcakes and more gumbo. It all hit my palate like a ton of bricks.<\/p>\n

By now, it was quite clear that Philadelphia fans outnumbered Kansas City fans 10-1. I took part in some sort of drunken spelling bee in which fans tried to spell their team names the loudest. We Chiefs fans kept quiet, thinking our team would do its talking the next day.<\/p>\n

My last Saturday stop was a local favorite: The Three-Legged Dog. At nearly midnight, I ate some of the best crawfish I have ever eaten \u2014 and was given a full lesson on how to clean them.<\/p>\n

Then it was back to my campsite. Game day awaited.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
