Rashee Rice: We're gonna put on a show this season
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been waiting a long time to get back in the lineup and he thinks the wait is going to be worth it in the long run.
Rice suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week Four, which is one of the reasons why the Chiefs offense dropped to the middle of the pack during the 2024 season. Rice's extended rehab time has him feeling like he's ready to contribute right out of the gate in the regular season and he thinks rejoining the likes of Xavier Worthy, Travis Kelce, and Hollywood Brown in an offense spearheaded by quarterback Patrick Mahomes is going to lead to a lot of fireworks on the field.
'We got a lot of guys,' Rice said, via Aaron Wilson of KPRC. ". We are deep in depth in the wide receiver group. We're going to be explosive this year. We're just excited to put on a show to be honest. We know it's gonna be a show. Only thing in the way right now is time, so we're just waiting patiently.'
The Chiefs will kick things off against the Chargers in Brazil in Week One and a fast start to the season will give them a leg up on their push for a 10th straight AFC West title. If the offense is as good as Rice thinks it will be, it could also be the start of a run to a fourth straight Super Bowl appearance.

Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp
Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp With Philadelphia completing OTAs and mandatory mini-camp, w'ere predicting which tight ends will make the final Eagles' 53-man roster The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions, and as we approach the 2025 NFL season, this roster will look dramatically different after suffering several free-agent losses. During the first wave of free agency, Philadelphia saw Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), Kenneth Gainwell (Steelers), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Fred Johnson (Jaguars), Parris Campbell (Cowboys), Darius Slay (CB) and Oren Burks (Bengals) all depart. Still, they rebounded to make several key signings, including A.J. Dillon (RB), Joshua Uche (LB), Adoree' Jackson (CB), Charley Hughlett (LS), Patrick Johnson (LB), Avery Williams (KR/PR), Kylen Granson (TE), and Azeez Ojulari (OLB) among others. Our projected 2025 depth chart series continues with the tight end position. You can find our past position breakdowns at the links below: Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver TE1 - Dallas Goedert Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. TE2- Grant Calcaterra Playing in relief of an injured Dallas Goedert, Calcaterra logged 24 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown. He was targeted 30 times and put up 19.9 yards per game. Best of the rest Practice squad numbers and game day elevations make it easy for Philadelphia to get creative with its 53-man roster. The Eagles carried two tight ends last season, and with Jeffrey Lurie looking to incorporate fullback Ben VanSumeren, the team is expected to take this approach in 2025. There are seven tight ends on the roster, with Nick Muse and E.J. Henderson among the players battling for a spot after the team signed Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. Jenkins was promoted to Philadelphia's active roster in 2024 and saw action in 12 games (eight in the regular season and four in the postseason). Playing primarily on special teams, he caught one pass on the season – a 7-yard touchdown versus the New York Giants on Jan. 5.

We hit 83 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We hit 83 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now We've reached 83 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 83 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 83 Who's wearing it now: WR Key'Shawn Smith Smith is an undrafted rookie out of SMU. The 5-11, 187-pound receiver started his college career at Miami before transferring to SMU after his junior season. He saw his numbers go up each of the past three seasons, culminating in 33 catches for 527 yards and five touchdowns as a fifth-year senior. Who wore it best: OLB Ted Hendricks The Mad Stork spent the final nine years of his 15-year NFL career in Silver & Black.

In his career, he earned four Super Bowl rings, was a four-time All Pro, eight-time Pro Bowler, and was a member of BOTH the All-70s and All-80s Hall of Fame teams.
