Good morning, Addicts! There is a lot to catch up on from around the Kansas City Chiefs world, so let’s dive right in and see what there is to read about.
Rookie corners look good in Kansas City – Terez Paylor of Kansas City Star
"Both players were forced to leave the team in mid-May because the NFL prohibits rookies from practicing until their college’s academic calendar is complete. Final exams for Washington and Oregon State — which run on the quarter system — weren’t done until mid-June."
Chiefs claim guard off waivers – Terez Paylor of Kansas City Star
"On Tuesday, just hours after they waived receiver Da’Rick Rogers and tackle Kelvin Palmer, they claimed guard Marcus Reed off waivers from Green Bay, according to the NFL’s transaction report."
Justin Houston absent from minicamp – Terez Paylor of Kansas City Star
"As a nonexclusive franchise player, other teams can offer Houston a contract that the Chiefs could choose to either match or reject. If they were to reject, the Chiefs would receive two first-round picks from the team that signs Houston."
Chargers’ view of Chiefs’ offseason – SDNativeinTX from Bolts From The Blue
"The 2015 Chiefs should look a lot like the 2013 and 2014 versions of the team. Andy Reid and Offensive Coordinator Doug Pederson run about the purest form of the West Coach offense in the league. This offense features short passing routes with mostly 3 and 5 step drops, with a 7 step drop mixed in to keep a defense honest. A high percentage of passes are thrown to backs and tight ends behind or within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Deep passes are thrown occasionally and a lot of play action passes are used in this system."
Five reasons Kansas City will win the West – Mike Norris of KC Kingdom
"The Kansas City Chiefs last won the AFC West in 2010, but the 10-6 team that won probably two or three more games than it should have, won’t go down in history as one of the franchise’s best teams."
