Less than 24 hours before the start of the NFL’s new league year, the Kansas City Chiefs made an expected move to create the necessary salary-cap space to continue building their roster for next season in the hopes of becoming the first franchise to win three consecutive Super Bowls.The Chiefs converted $30 million of quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ contract to create $21.6 million worth of salary-cap space, a team source told The Athletic.

 

 

The structure of Mahomes’ contract — the longest in the sport at 10 years — was designed for this exact move. By converting this amount of the roster bonus in Mahomes’ contract into a signing bonus, the Chiefs should now be able to address two of their biggest needs: a veteran receiver and a veteran left tackle to protect Mahomes’ blind side.

 

Last offseason, the Chiefs made a similar move. The team created $9.6 million in salary-cap space by converting $12 million of Mahomes’ $34.4 million roster bonus into a signing bonus. Kansas City then used most of that to acquire linebacker Drue Tranquill and safety Mike Edwards and re-sign defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi.

 

 

Entering Tuesday, the Chiefs were projected to be $5.65 million over the limit, according to Over the Cap. That projection is after the team re-signed pass rusher Chris Jones to a five-year, $158.75 million contract, including $60 fully guaranteed. The Chiefs could create more cap space by trading cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who is on the team’s franchise tag

 

. Trading Sneed would give the Chiefs another $19.8 million in cap space. Without Sneed, the Chiefs still have three starting-caliber cornerbacks in Trent McDuffie, Joshua Williams and Jaylen Watson. They could also convert part of the contracts for left guard Joe Thuney or right tackle Jawaan Taylor.With cap space, the Chiefs should fully enter the receiver market. The team was interested in acquiring receiver Darnell Mooney, who agreed Tuesday to a three-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. Curtis Samuel, Marquise Brown and Josh Reynolds are among the remaining receiver options.

 

General manager Brett Veach also will look to solidify the offensive line by acquiring a veteran left tackle, a player who can start while Wanya Morris, a second-year player, continues to develop. The best free-agent options are Tyron Smith, Donovan Smith, David Bakhtiari and Duane Brown.

The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.

Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.

‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’

Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’

Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.

‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.

Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.

Olympic Integrity in Question: Simone Biles’ Honors Under Fire Amid Age Fraud Allegations

 

In a shocking turn of events, the Olympic community is reeling as allegations of age fraud surface against American gymnast Simone Biles. The 25-year-old gymnastics superstar, widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time, is facing mounting pressure as many call for her honors to be stripped.

 

According to sources, an investigation has been launched into Biles’ age, with some claiming she may have falsified her birth certificate to compete in younger age groups earlier in her career. If true, this would be a violation of Olympic rules and could result in Biles being stripped of her medals and titles.

 

Biles has yet to comment on the allegations, but her team has released a statement denying any wrongdoing. “Simone has always been transparent about her age and has never attempted to deceive anyone,” the statement read.

As the investigation continues, the Olympic community is holding its breath. If Biles is found guilty, it would be a devastating blow to the sport and could have far-reaching consequences.
