It's March 24th. I'm Corey with the story, and this is NFL News, today football news powered by AI. The Kansas City Chiefs made waves this offseason by signing defensive tackle Kyra's Tonga to a $3-year $21 million deal. As six with two and $335 pounds, he's a solid runstopper but has zero full-sax in 67 games. The team desperately needs pass rushers after ranking near the bottom in sacks last season and losing key rotational players. Meanwhile, the Chiefs locked in tight-end Travis Kelsey with a three-year contract worth up to $40 million, including $12 million, guaranteed up front. It features a poison pill provision that could guarantee another chunk next year, giving them flexibility to extend or part ways post-2000s, 27. Fans and analysts are buzzing about potential fixes for the offense by targeting cheap veteran-wide receivers such as 33-year-old Kenan, Allen, who caught 81 passes last year on a

modest $5 million cap hit. He's seen as a reliable upgrade over current options. On the draft front, experts warn against taking Ohio State's safety Caleb Downs at number 9, saying he doesn't fit Steve's back-nualos downfield. Scheme, better to eye later-round options or trade back if needed. Leaguewide, the Seattle Seahawks just gave wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jigba, a 4-year, $168.6 million extension, making him the highest paid pass catcher ever after leading the NFL with 1,793 yards. And the New England Patriots cut Joshua Dobbs, sliding Tommy DeVito into the back-up quarterback as they reshaped the death chart.
