Justin Reid agrees to sign with Saints
According to multiple reports, they have agreed to terms with Justin Reid. It is a three-year deal for Reid and it is worth $31.5 million with $22.25 million in guaranteed money.
It will be a homecoming of sorts for Reid as he grew up in Louisiana before heading to Stanford for college.
Reid helped the Chiefs to three Super Bowls in his three seasons with the team and capped his time in Kansas City with 87 tackles, two interceptions, and nine passes defensed in the 2024 regular season. He had 19 tackles in a playoff run that culminated in a loss to the Eagles in the stadium that Reid will now call home.

ESPN writer picks Chiefs RB Brashard Smith as the biggest surprise heading into 2025
The Kansas City Chiefs selected running back Brashard Smith in the seventh round of this year's NFL Draft. ESPN's Adam Teicher recently wrote an article identifying the Chiefs' biggest surprise player as Smith, going into the new season. "Judging from how he was utilized in offseason practices, the Chiefs have plans for Smith, a seventh-round draft pick out of SMU," wrote Teicher. "Smith was a wide receiver in college before moving to running back for his final season, and the Chiefs showcased his versatility by getting him the ball out of the backfield, from the slot, and split out wide. Smith ran a 4.39 40 at the combine, so he will fit in with a group of other fast skill players, including Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Elijah Mitchell." Smith earned Third-team Associated Press All-American All-Purpose and First-team All-ACC honors in his final college season with SMU. He led the team with 1,332 rushing yards on 235 carries and 14 rushing touchdowns. The former wide receiver brings versatility to the position and could have an impact similar to that of the current starter and former seventh-round draft pick, Isiah Pacheco.

Rookie Travis Hunter Offered Ominous Warning From Kelce
Rookie Travis Hunter Offered Ominous Warning From Kelce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2025, and that means the AFC champs will get to see rookie Travis Hunter strut his stuff. Advertisement Seen as a star receiver and corner, Hunter is expected to play both positions in his rookie season, as he did with Colorado last year in college. But as we know, the NFL is a different beast, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who was speaking on the Bussin With The Boys podcast, thinks Hunter is going to have a tough time playing both positions. ... And he is offering an ominous warning in the form of a scouting report. 'See, that's the thing," Kelce said. "I don't know how they're going to divvy it out. I don't know because teams are going to be going after him. They're going to try and make his day miserable." Advertisement 'Dude, if he plays corner, they're just going to run deep balls at him all day ... the wide receivers just take off on him all day. Just to try to get him tired. Why wouldn't you just attack him that way?' Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (left) and Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter (right).Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images; Doug Engle/Florida Times-Union So it is clear Kelce has a clear picture of what NFL offenses are going to do with Hunter, and that is just on the defensive side. Hunter will then have to play receiver, too. Most think Hunter will have to pick a position and "major" in it, while moonlighting the other, but there doesn't seem to be a world where the rookie can play both full-time, at least at the NFL level. Because if Kelce is thinking this already, you can bet your house that 31 other offenses are thinking the exact same thing.
