Chiefs and defensive end George Karlaftis agree to 4-year, $93M contract, AP source says
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which locks up one of the Chiefs' best young defensive players on the same day that they report to training camp at Missouri Western, is still pending a physical.
It is the second high-profile contract that Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has finished off in the past week. He signed Pro Bowl right guard Trey Smith to a four-year, $94 million extension on Tuesday.
Karlaftis, a first-round pick in the 2022 draft, has started 44 of his 49 regular-season games for the Chiefs. His best season came two years ago, when he had 10 1/2 sacks while starting every game, and he had eight sacks in 16 games last season.
Karlaftis has appeared in the Super Bowl every season, winning the first two and losing to Philadelphia in February.

30 Most Important Bears of 2025: Dennis Allen (No. 4)
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for an exciting 2025 NFL season, which features some new faces within the organization poised to get the franchise back to its winning ways. That starts with the hiring of Ben Johnson as head coach, as well as overhauling the interior offensive line, adding pieces on defense and a potenital impactful rookie draft class. Every day from now right up through training camp, we're counting down our 30 Most Important Bears for the 2025 season. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to 2025 and tackle the biggest question facing them this year. Next up at No. 4 is defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, the first coach to make an appearance on the list, who is tasked with getting the most out of a veteran defense. Background Position: Defensive coordinator Age: 52 Experience: 29 years 2025 cap hit: N/A 2024 recap Allen's 2024 season was one to forget for the veteran coach. He entered his third season as the head coach for the New Orleans Saints, and the team seemed to be turning the corner after a 9-8 year in 2023 that almost resulted in a division title. New Orleans had a dependable veteran quarterback in Derek Carr and some talented playmakers with running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave, but Allen couldn't bring his team to have sustained success. After a 2-7 start to the 2024 season, the Saints fired Allen and turned their attention towards the future. It was Allen's second head coaching stint after spending three and a half years with the (then) Oakland Raiders. 2025 outlook Despite his shortcomings as a head coach, Allen was one of the more highly regarded defensive minds on the market. Prior to taking over for Sean Payton as the Saints head coach, Allen was an excellent defensive coordinator. He got the most out of a number of Pro Bowl players and helped develop stars such as Trey Hendrickson and Marshon Lattimore. The Bears saw the potential to pair Allen with new head coach Ben Johnson to give him a veteran presence to work with, while also providing the defense with a proven coach who can get the most out of the unit. Big question: What will the defense look like under Allen? For the last few seasons, the Bears deployed a relatively standard 4-3 defense under former head coach Matt Eberflus with varying degrees of success. With Allen now leading the group, what exactly will be different? We know Allen prefers to work with bigger defensive linemen and could opt to move players around, such as Dayo Odeyingbo and Gervon Dexter. At linebacker, the Bears may be swapping linebackers TJ Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds to mix things up and disguise coverages, and the secondary will likely feature more man coverage with Jaylon Johnson shadowing top receivers instead of sticking at one spot. Through a few days of camp, the Bears offense is already feeling Allen's defense and what they can do. Hopefully opposing teams will have a similar experience. 30 Most Important Bears of 2025

Reports: Texans RB Joe Mixon to miss time with foot injury
The race to decide who will be the Houston Texans' lead running back may have gotten a bit closer. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Texans running back Joe Mixon will miss "an extended period of time" while dealing with a foot injury. Mixon had already been on the Texans' non-football injury list to start training camp, but Saturday's report added clarity to a potential timeline for the running back's return. Texans free agent signing and fellow running back Nick Chubb could have a chance to take the starting job from the incumbent Mixon. Chubb signed with Houston during OTAs, months after a broken foot ended his 2024 season early. FANTASY FOOTBALL: Analyzing the AFC South's biggest burning questions Details behind how Mixon's foot injury happened have not been reported yet, but NFL insider Jordan Schultz added that he will miss "multiple weeks of training camp." The 2024 Pro Bowler is hoping to return to the field in time for Week 1. Mixon had a strong first season in Houston in 2024 after spending the first seven years of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals. He recorded 1,016 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 245 carries (4.1 yards per attempt), enough to earn him his second career Pro Bowl nod. Joe Mixon injury history Mixon has dealt with a variety of injuries in his eight-year NFL career. Many of them have been to parts of his lower body, and he did suffer a previous foot injury in 2020 that ended his season early that year. Here's a full timeline of injuries: JOE MIXON ANKLE INJURY: Texans RB calls out NFL on hip-drop tackle rule Texans RB depth chart The Texans have many running backs on their active roster at the start of training camp. Here are the seven tailbacks Houston has to choose from, including several young players and a few veterans: Mixon and Chubb are the two free agent investments the Texans have made at the running back position in free agency during the last two offseasons. They appear to be the two leading backs competing for the starting job, though Mixon has the clear advantage coming off of a 1,000-yard, Pro Bowl season in 2024. Pierce was the Texans' fourth-round pick in 2022 and had a breakout season as a rookie. But by 2024, he had been relegated to a backup role. The Texans selected Marks with a fourth-round pick in this year's draft. The USC product is fresh off of a 1,133-yard, nine-touchdown season for the Trojans. Ogunbowale is back for another season with the Texans after signing a one-year deal in the offseason. He is generally a bigger contributor on special teams than on offense, though he did score a game-winning receiving touchdown in Week 4 last year before making his lone start of the season in Week 5. Taylor and Jordan are returning practice squad players that the Texans re-signed to reserve/future contracts in January.

Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes Linked to Stunning WR Reunion
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are heading into the 2025 NFL season as one of the top contenders in the AFC once again. Until a team is able to prove that they can beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, Mahomes and company will continue remaining at the top of the conference. Despite losing in the Super Bowl last season, Kansas City is still one of the most talented teams in the NFL. With Travis Kelce back for another year and the Chiefs being able to keep key pieces during the offseason like Nick Bolton and Trey Smith, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about yet another championship run. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tyreek Hill #10 celebrate a touchdown pass to Travis Kelce #87 in the second quarter of the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans... Quarterback Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Tyreek Hill #10 celebrate a touchdown pass to Travis Kelce #87 in the second quarter of the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium on January 12, 2020 in Kansas City, Missouri. More Photo byOne major question that is swirling around in Kansas City has to do with how long the current core will be in place. Kelce contemplated retirement before the 2025 season, but opted to come back for at least one more year. Read more: Bengals, Nick Saban Connection Emerges in Stunning Suggestion Another question becomes, what will the Chiefs do in the future to remain among the NFL's elite? How about a reunion with Tyreek Hill? That would be one move the team could make to bring back a former piece of the dynasty and give Mahomes the best wide receiver he has ever had once again. Nick Wright of FS1 believes that Hill will indeed reunite with Kansas City. He not only thinks Hill will be back with the Chiefs next season, but he also predicted Kelce returning for another run as well. However, he also hinted that Kelce and Hill would retire after one more year in Kansas City together. "I'm very excited for Hill wearing a Chiefs uniform in 2026," Wright said. "[Hill] and [Travis] Kelce ride off into the sunset together, because that's, I think, going to happen."

In year one with the Dolphins, he caught 119 passes for 1,710 yards and seven touchdowns and backed that up with 119 receptions for 1,799 yards and 13 scores in his second year. Last season, he ended up with 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns. While this is just a prediction, it's one that could make sense. Hill could leave Miami and if he does, the Chiefs would likely have interest in a reunion. It may not have a chance of happening, but it's something to keep an eye on.
