Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes Linked to Stunning WR Reunion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the 2025 NFL season as one of the top contenders in the AFC once again. Until a team is able to prove that they can beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, Mahomes and company will continue remaining at the top of the conference. Despite losing in the Super Bowl last season, Kansas City is still one of the most talented teams in the NFL. With Travis Kelce back for another year and the Chiefs being able to keep key pieces during the offseason like Nick Bolton and Trey Smith, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about yet another championship run. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tyreek Hill #10 celebrate a touchdown pass to Travis Kelce #87 in the second quarter of the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans... Quarterback Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tyreek Hill #10 celebrate a touchdown pass to Travis Kelce #87 in the second quarter of the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on January 12, 2020 in Kansas City, Missouri. More Photo byOne major question that is swirling around in Kansas City has to do with how long the current core will be in place. Kelce contemplated retirement before the 2025 season, but opted to come back for at least one more year.

How about a reunion with Tyreek Hill? That would be one move the team could make to bring back a former piece of the dynasty and give Mahomes the best wide receiver he has ever had once again. Nick Wright of FS1 believes that Hill will indeed reunite with Kansas City. He not only thinks Hill will be back with the Chiefs next season, but he also predicted Kelce returning for another run as well. However, he also hinted that Kelce and Hill would retire after one more year in Kansas City together. "I'm very excited for Hill wearing a Chiefs uniform in 2026," Wright said. "[Hill] and [Travis] Kelce ride off into the sunset together, because that's, I think, going to happen."

In year one with the Dolphins, he caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns and backed that up with 119 receptions for 1,799 yards and 13 scores in his second year. Last season, he ended up with 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns. While this is just a prediction, it's one that could make sense. Hill could leave Miami and if he does, the Chiefs would likely have interest in a reunion. It may not have a chance of happening, but it's something to keep an eye on.

Vikings, versatile safety Josh Metellus agree to 3-year, $36M extension, AP source says
The Minnesota Vikings and versatile safety Josh Metellus agreed Saturday on a three-year, $36 million contract extension, according to a person familiar with details of the deal. Metellus, a 2020 sixth-round draft pick out of Michigan, is a key piece of coordinator Brian Flores' defense and has started 27 games the past two seasons while playing in multiple spots. The Vikings announced the extension for Metellus, but didn't provide financial terms. The person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because terms weren't announced, said the contract includes $25 million in guaranteed money. Metellus was entering the final year of his deal, so the extension keeps him with the Vikings through 2028. 'Minnesota, I'm here, baby,' a smiling Metellus said at a news conference announcing the deal. 'I love it here. ... This place is home for me.' The 27-year-old Metellus has four career interceptions, five forced fumbles, 2 1/2 sacks and nearly 300 combined tackles in five NFL seasons. 'Josh, since he got here has become a program player for us,' general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said. 'He embodies the relentlessness and work ethic that we value in this team.' Metellus played primarily on special teams during his first two seasons, but saw an increased role on defense after Kevin O'Connell took over as the Vikings' head coach in 2022. Flores made Metellus a key contributor on defense when he joined O'Connell's staff in 2023, with O'Connell saying Metellus lined up in seven different spots last season. 'I don't like to get into the positions,' Metellus said. 'I just think I'm a damn good football player.' Metellus has also been a team captain for the Vikings. 'Such a vital part of our success on and off the field,' O'Connell said. 'It's hard to imagine them making them any better as a player and person than Josh Metellus. What he means to me, personally, our friendship, our bond we've formed, I'm absolutely thrilled for Josh, his family and Vikings fans that they get to see him for years to come in a role that's become really special to him and how he's attacked it and helped us become what we are defensively.' ___ AP NFL:

The Vikings have announced they have signed safety Joshua Metellus to a three-year contract extension. The deal will keep him in purple through the 2028 season. The deal includes a guaranteed $25 million and could reach as high as $42 million with incentives. Metellus, a three-time team captain, is entering his sixth season with the Vikings. Vikings Head Coach Kevin O'Connell spoke about the deal after Saturday's practice. "Very excited to highlight and point out to you that Josh Metellus has agreed to a contract extension. Multi-year captain since I've been here, such a vital part of our success on and off the field," O'Connell said. "It's hard to imagine them making them any better as a player or person than Josh Metellus -- what he means to me personally, our friendship, our bond we formed. Absolutely thrilled for Josh, his family, and Vikings fans that they get to see him for years to come in a role that's become really special to him and how he's attacked it and helped us become what we are defensively." Metellus is a jack-of-all-trades on defense, and Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores deploys his unique skillset in a multitude of positions across the defense. Metellus played 1,192 total snaps last year, which was a team high. The Vikings picked Metellus out of Michigan in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
