Integrating a player of Chubb\u2019s caliber could elevate the Chiefs to an even more formidable force. His ability to control the tempo and wear down defenses would provide a new dimension to their already potent attack. The union of Chubb\u2019s power running with the Chiefs\u2019 dynamic passing game could create a near-unbeatable offensive juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1QWckD\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/chiefs\/kansas-city-2026-mock-draft-caleb-banks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Who Should the Chiefs Target in the 2026 NFL Draft? | SI<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"WZc2Dx\">Round 1, Pick 30: Caleb Banks, DL<\/p>\n<p id=\"OCNFIW\">\u201cCaleb Banks is a traditional DT who was solid as a pass rusher in 2024, with four sacks and 29 pressures on 233 pass-rush snaps.

One of the best play designers. One of the best at getting his players to understand his concepts, and adapting his concepts to the player. I know this because I\u2019ve seen it up and close and personal. Watched him do it. Brees will skip into the Hall of Fame and some day Payton will follow him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kUQDCA\">Now, I\u2019m seeing the same thing in Denver. It goes beyond the obvious that Nix and Brees are similar specimens. It\u2019s Payton again morphing the offense around what Nix does best. Payton is also criminally underrated in building a good culture. He\u2019s creating Saints West. Not the Saints you see now. Or the almost comically bad Saints teams from the 1970s. It\u2019s the one that was once solid and even feared.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2twKcw\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/trey-hendrickson-to-eagles-tyreek-hill-to-patriots-seven-trades-we-d-like-to-see-during-nfl-offseason\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trey Hendrickson to Eagles?

It actually started when he voiced his frustrations at the end of a disappointing 2024 campaign in Miami, both for the Fins (who finished below .500 for the first time since 2019) and Hill (who missed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nfl-pro-bowl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Pro Bowl<\/a> for the first time in his nine-year career).

However, I\u2019m not convinced Miami will keep him, considering his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/dolphins-wr-tyreek-hill-involved-in-domestic-incident-no-charges-filed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">off-field issues<\/a> and the fact that the franchise can save nearly $15 million by moving him, per <a href=\"https:\/\/overthecap.com\/player\/tyreek-hill\/4878\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Over The Cap<\/a>. The Dolphins might be wary of trading within the division, but if not, the Patriots and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/players\/drake-maye\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Drake Maye<\/a> certainly could use Hill\u2019s services in the passing attack. New England has admirably overhauled the offense this offseason, and Hill would continue that trend by giving Josh McDaniels a guy who can elevate his attack to the next level due to his speed and field-stretching ability.<\/p>\n<p id=\"gbTL20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/former-dallas-cowboys-cb-kelvin-joseph-arrested-following-fatal-crash\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Former Dallas Cowboys CB Kelvin Joseph Arrested Following Fatal Crash | SI<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"DVWGuv\">Plano police received a call from Joseph before 6 a.m. local time admitting to authorities that he had been involved in a crash that struck a motorcycle.

The five-time Pro Bowler is embracing the offseason work, using the voluntary practices to connect with teammates and the new class of rookies.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WWPGmA\">Although OTAs are optional, Jones is choosing to be on the field, in the locker room, and around the team \u2014 demonstrating the kind of leadership that has helped define the Chiefs\u2019 success in recent years. On Wednesday, defensive line coach Joe Cullen called Jones\u2019 attendance \u201cphenomenal\u201d and said that it is meaningful to the younger players to see the veteran at these early practices.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HQXDHJ\">\u201cChris has been here almost every day, and he\u2019s a great leader, he\u2019s in great physical shape and he\u2019s working hard.\u201d shared Cullen. \u201cHe\u2019s also taking the time with the rookies and for those guys to see a player of his caliber doing that at this time of the year, it\u2019s invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"8PAi5H\">Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who has coached Jones since 2019, knows firsthand the impact the veteran brings \u2014 not only on Sundays but also throughout the entire year. The coordinator sees Jones\u2019 participation at OTAs as a significant boost to the team\u2019s offseason preparation.<\/p>\n<p>Social media to make you think<\/p>\n<p>Follow Arrowhead Pride on Social Media<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest Former 49ers WR Chris Conley announces retirement, plans to return to Georgia to pursue new career&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118114,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2063],"tags":[921,6190,3663,346,7,29,118,110,922,2438,2437,88,6,151],"class_list":{"0":"post-118113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-kansas-city-chiefs","8":"tag-arrowhead","9":"tag-arrowheadlines","10":"tag-category-daily-links","11":"tag-chiefs","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-front-page","14":"tag-kansas-city","15":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","16":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","17":"tag-kansascity","18":"tag-kansascitychiefs","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-pride"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114657893156133193","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118113\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
