Chiefs rumors: Patrick Mahomes fielding calls from several free-agent wideouts

Spread the word β€” Kansas City is the place to go for any wide receiver trying to land a long-term deal. It’ll likely come after a prove-it deal, though, thanks to Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

If you don’t believe me, just asking JuJu Smith-Schuster. While JuJu played a critical role in the Chiefs 2023 Super Bowl season, he didn’t arrive in Kansas City as much of a coveted commodity.

This offseason, Smith-Schuster is expected to receive a contract north of $13 million per season on a multiyear deal. He talked smack after winning the Super Bowl, in part because he drew a hold on Eagles defensive back James Bradberry. It’s been a wonderful year for JuJu, all because he made the smart decision to sign in KC and play with Patrick Mahomes.

Chiefs rumors: Patrick Mahomes fields calls from interested wideouts

Mahomes is basically made of money at this point, and is happy to lend a helping hand in making others rich as well.

On Good Morning Football, James Palmer said the following, per Sports Illustrated:

β€œβ€¦Receivers from around the league are interested in playing for Kansas City. As far as quarterback Patrick Mahomes is concerned, Palmer says that wideouts have been β€œcalling him this entire offseason” asking if they can come play with him on the Chiefs. While Palmer admits that he isn’t alluding to a signing directly, he continued by saying the possibility of an external addition is β€œout there on the table.”

Mahomes is fielding calls from wide receivers across the league, and it’s tough to blame them. In what could be a down market for wideouts as a whole, Kansas City is an attractive backup plan should any free agent fail to receive the long-term deal they covet.

KC needs to replace both Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman this offseason if they aren’t re-signed. The line is busy for now, but Mahomes’ customer service rep will be without you shortly.
