As we get started, here’s to a fast and comfortable recovery for Nick Chubb. Tough to watch the Browns running back go down that way last night, especially considering just how well respected he is by just about everyone he’s been around. Here’s what we’ve got this Tuesday . . .
• The Chiefs didn’t have to do what they did in reworking Patrick Mahomes’s deal, effectively moving more than $43 million in the contract from its final five years to these next four years. They had him signed through 2031, and that’s why agent Chris Cabott had to be the one to broach the idea with Kansas City’s top negotiators in February, two days before Super Bowl LVII. And truth be told, the request he went to them with would be laughed out of the room in most cases.
This, of course, wasn’t most cases, because Mahomes isn’t most players.
