Carrick highlights the significance of Man Utd vs Liverpool rivalry
Tyreek Hill has a more than 50% chance of returning to the Kansas City Chiefs, with estimates around 55-60%. His familiarity with the team's staff is seen as a significant factor in a potential reunion.
**Tyreek Hill Potentially Returning to Chiefs Picking up Steam Again | Heavy Sports**
ESPNās Chiefs insider Nate Taylor joined 96.5 The Fan on Thursday to discuss a variety of topics about the team. When they got on the subject of free agents that could still be added, Taylor was asked what he felt the odds were that Hill returns to Kansas City.
āWe know that Tyreek is planning to play this upcoming season,ā Taylor said. āYouāre going to get more updates on his health, given his rehab. We know heās a diligent worker, so I donāt think thatās the issue. I donāt want to be hyperbolic or over the top, but I think thereās like more than a 50 percent chance that heās in a Chiefs uniform. I will put it at like 55 percent, maybe even 60.ā
Taylor went on to explain why a reunion between Hill and the Chiefs makes sense.
āHe already knows the coaching staff, the health and medical staff, the athletic training staff,ā Taylor continued. āIt would be an easier transition for him.ā **** The Chiefs made a move for Delane,Ā trading up to No. 6Ā to secure him afterĀ tradingĀ Ā and losingĀ Ā both to the . Woods bringsĀ Ā some company in the middle to boost the interior. However, Kelce particularly seemed to like the Thomas pick.
There is a more than 50% chance, with estimates suggesting it could be as high as 60%.
His familiarity with the coaching and medical staff makes for an easier transition back to the team.
ESPN's Chiefs insider Nate Taylor mentioned the possibility during an interview on 96.5 The Fan.
His ongoing rehabilitation and established relationships with the team's staff are key factors.

āThe guy is a freak of nature in terms of athleticism and explosiveness,ā Kelce said of the edge rusher. āI canāt wait to see how this guy gets after the quarterback. Itās been kind of something that the Chiefs have been looking at to get better at, and thatās getting after the QB and really putting quarterbacks under duress. Obviously, weāve always had Chris Jones there, andĀ George (Karlaftis)Ā is a workhorse.
āI think this is going to be a game-changer at the edge position. I know he had a hamstring last year on an unbelievable fumble recovery. So weāll see him when he gets in the building. Iām sure Spags (defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo) will have a fun time putting him to work as well.ā **2027 NFL Draft: Compensatory pick projections for every team | NFL.com** **Kansas City Chiefs** Projected compensatory picks

**Key free-agent losses**
CBĀ Jaylen Watson, $17 million, Rams SĀ Bryan Cook, $13.4 million, Bengals LBĀ Leo Chenal, $8.3 million, Commanders QBĀ Gardner Minshew, $5.8 million, Cardinals WRĀ Marquise Brown, $5 million, Eagles EdgeĀ Charles Omenihu, $4 million, Commanders CBĀ Joshua Williams, $3.4 million, Titans
**Key free-agent additions**
RBĀ Kenneth Walker III, $14.4 million SĀ Alohi Gilman, $8 million DLĀ Khyiris Tonga, $7 million
**Analysis** Kansas City can pencil in a fourth-rounder for the loss of Watson, who is being paid as a top-20 corner by the Rams. The signings of Walker, Gilman and Tonga will likely cancel out the losses of Cook, Chenal and Minshew. The Chiefs have a decent shot to pick up seventh-rounders for Brown and Omenihu, with Williams a slightly longer shot to net a seventh because of his lower APY. **Ranking Every NFL Defense After the 2026 Draft| Bleacher Report** **17. Kansas City Chiefs**
The status of Patrick Mahomesā surgically repaired knee is the dominant storyline for the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason, but the Chiefs have some significant questions on defense as well.
After trading cornerback Trent McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams and losing Jaylen Watson in free agency, Kansas Cityās pass defense is undergoing a major overhaul. The team brought in Kader Kohou in free agency and drafted Mansoor Delane sixth overall, but the Chiefsā cornerbacks will be vastly different in 2026.
The pass rush is also a concern. Defensive tackle Chris Jones and edge-rusher George Karlaftis are back, and the team spent a second-rounder on edge-rusher R Mason Thomas, but Kansas City had just 35 sacks as a team in 2025.
Thereās stability at linebacker with Nick Bolton and Drue Tranquill back, but a defense that canāt rush the passer and has uncertainty on the back end means that Steve Spagnuolo has his work cut out for him this season. **1 free agent Chiefs must sign after failing to fix WR problem in 2026 NFL Draft | Clutch Points** **Stefon DiggsĀ has a proven track record**
Despite leading the New England Patriots in receptions (85) and receiving yards (1,013) en route to an appearance in Super Bowl 60,Ā Stefon Diggs was let go by the teamĀ he most recently called his own. Now, the receiver known for the Minneapolis Miracle is slated to play for his fourth team in as many years.
Diggs has produced wherever he has played, and he seemingly still has plenty left in the tank. The Chiefs must aggressively pursue him in free agency because heād be a perfect fit to join the receiving corps that already includes Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Tyquan Thornton.
Worthy is a speed threat and gadget expert, Rice is a yards-after-catch beast and physical possession receiver, and Thornton excels as a deep ball target. Diggs would round out this group because he is a route-running expert with reliable hands. When Mahomes is ready to return to the fold, the Chiefs could spread out the offense and allow him to have a plethora of players to throw to. After all,Ā Travis Kelce recently re-signedĀ with the team. If Fields is playing quarterback for the team, he wouldnāt have to make too many reads because if Diggs is on the roster in addition to what the team already possesses, then there should be open targets all over the field.
Six-time Pro Bowl defensive linemanĀ Calais CampbellĀ is reuniting with theĀ Baltimore Ravens.
Campbell is returning to sign a one-year deal with the Ravens, a source told ESPNās Adam Schefter on Thursday. This will mark the 19th season for Campbell, who will turn 40 on Sept. 1.
Baltimore is bringing back Campbell because interior defensive line was among the thinnest positions on the team after the draft. Though Pro Bowl defensive tackleĀ Nnamdi MadubuikeĀ might come back from neck surgery, the only Ravens defensive linemen currently available who played more than 100 snaps last season areĀ Travis Jones,Ā John JenkinsĀ andĀ CJ Okoye. **Colts decline fifth-year option for Anthony Richardson | Pro Football Talk** That was expected as the Colts seek to trade Richardson.
General Manager Chris Ballard said Saturday that he āhadnāt given too much thoughtā about the fifth-year option that would have paid Richardson $22.483 million for 2027. But the Colts faced a Friday deadline for a decision.
It didnāt take much consideration as Richardson, the fourth overall pick in 2023, has started only 15 games due to injuries and inconsistency. He is still recovering from an eye injury from last October.
Richardson has requested a trade, and if the Colts canāt find a trade partner, they will have to decide whether to release Richardson. The Colts have Richardson, Riley Leonard and Seth Henigan behind Daniel Jones on their depth chart.
**1. The Chiefs thought cornerback was their biggest need**
The Chiefs lost their top two players at the position, one of whom was an All-Pro. Still, Kansas City kept its feelings close to the vest, out of fear that if another team sniffed through its smokescreen, it might not get its guy.
And if itās one thing we know about Chiefs general manager Brett Veach, itās that he willĀ *go get*his guy*.*
Delane is proof of thisābut what was at least a little surprising to hear is that the team viewed its third round selection (pick 74) as trade ammo for a cornerback all along.
*Sports Illustratedās*Ā Albert Breer reported after the draft that if Kansas City was unsuccessful in moving up for Delane, the front office was planning on using pick 74 to move up and take San Diego cornerback Chris Johnson later in round one.
Iāll say this about the Delane selection. When youāre picking in the top 10 in the draft, you have to walk away with a blue-chip player, and I think thereās a good chance the Chiefs got that in Delane, who is a smart and physical player who should fit in perfectly with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuoloās defense.
