The Latest

Salary Cap Increase

The NFL Salary Cap, which limits how much money teams can spend on players, will increase from $255.4M to between $277.5M and $281.5M for the 2025 season.

The salary cap has increased by $53M over the past two years, nearly 25%.

The cap number is determined by league revenue, which has continued to increase with the league’s growing popularity.

The final cap number should be set by 3 pm CT on March 12th.

The increase in the salary cap will give the Chiefs additional flexibility to make offseason moves. It will also make the large contracts they have on their books (Mahomes, Jones, etc.) easier to handle, as they now take up a smaller percentage of the cap.

NFL Combine

The NFL Combine runs Thursday, February 27th through Sunday, March 2nd in Indianapolis.

Chiefs coaches and front office personnel will be in attendance.

This will be the first opportunity for teams to obtain official measurements and data on draft prospects and meet with players in person.

Mahomes and Kelce Burglars Arrested

Members of a Chilean gang that burglarized Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s residences in October were arrested by the FBI.

The burglars stole from the homes of other professional athletes including Joe Burrow, Bobby Portis, and Luka Doncic.

The gang members were posting selfies to an iCloud site with stolen items in the photos, which ultimately helped the FBI catch them.

Which Super Bowl victory has been your favorite of the Chiefs dynasty to this point?

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Super Bowl 54 (over 49ers) (62)

Luke’s Take

It’s a toss-up between 54 and 58 for me.

Super Bowl 54 was incredible because it was the franchise's first one in 50 years, and the comeback win was so improbable.

Super Bowl 58 was special because so many counted the Chiefs out as they sputtered through the regular season. They had to go on the road in the playoffs and then had to mount another comeback in the Super Bowl. Also going back-to-back was pretty incredible, especially considering the supporting cast Mahomes did it with on offense.
