Chiefs news roundup — 6/5/2022
Find all the latest Kansas City Chiefs news, analysis and top headlines from the week of May 29-June 4 on Chiefs Wire down below:
Chiefs LT Orlando Brown has signed with an agent ahead of contract deadline

“Brown, 26, has signed with an agent, Michael Portner of Delta Sports Group, which is good news as Kansas City looks to lock up a pivotal member of their offense.
The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Brown earlier this offseason, giving both sides until July 15 to get an extension done.”
Now that Brown has an agent, the Chiefs have a little over a month to get a deal done. Keep in mind that they may not reach a deal — it may even be a strong chance they don’t. It would surely be in both parties’ interest to get a deal signed, but a month doesn’t sound like much time.
The promising side is that Brown doesn’t want to play on the franchise tag (nobody ever really does), and the Chiefs wouldn’t want Brown’s price to shoot up even higher next year. Those reasons may motivate a strong push to get the deal done.
What could an extension for Brown look like, anyway? Chiefs Wire editor Charles Goldman examined the possibilities and projected a figure that’d fit the Chiefs left tackle.
Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen defeated by Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers in 'The Match'

“After being down two holes early, Mahomes battled back to give his team the lead by the eighth hole. Brady sank a clutch putt on the 10th hole to tie things back up. They kept it competitive all the way down to the 12th and final hole, but Rodgers and Brady put themselves in a better position to win with everything tied up.”
The battle of the QBs on the golf course was a fun watch. It’s too bad that the “old guys” snatched the victory, but there were still some hilarious moments with equally funny Twitter reactions. The highlights were definitely Mahomes chugging Coors Lights and Josh Allen being, well, bad at golf.

Tyreek Hill’s new weirdly-edited podcast trailer may or may not have made an even weirder insinuation about possible misuse in Kansas City. Um… okay. Were 159 targets not enough?
Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen expects career years from Frank Clark and Chris Jones in 2022. So that’d be 13.5 sacks and 16 sacks, respectively. Chiefs fans will take that.
The Chiefs debuted the first episode of ‘Work to Win’ on YouTube. There is some juicy stuff there, and we broke down a few quick takeaways from the episode.
Patrick Mahomes burned the crap out of Josh Allen. Not literally, but still. Prayers up for Josh.
Speaking of Mahomes, he and Brittany are having another baby! Congrats to those two baby-making machines.
