CONGRATULATION: Patrick Mahomes has become the Top 2-paid Kansas City at $106.7 million per year after signing retirement letter today…
The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII and became two-time defending NFL champions, but the 2023 regular season fell below an acceptable standard for quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs‘ offense, normally so explosive, ranked only ninth in yards, while Mahomes threw a career-worst 14 interceptions during the regular season before clicking into gear for the playoffs in January. In order for Kansas City to return to its dominant best in 2024, Reid and his coaching staff are asking Mahomes to operate a little bit differently.
In the early days of preparing for 2024, Reid — the only head coach for whom Mahomes has played in the NFL — is needling his star quarterback in an attempt to get him to quit throwing short “checkdown” passes to a running back or wide receiver. Reid wants Mahomes to be more vertical and trust his arm strength with a new receiving corps.
