Michael Penix Jr on comparisons to Patrick Mahomes:
You can't compare everyone's injury to mine. Not all ACL injuries are the same. He had his patella tendons. I also had an operation on my lateral side. After my first ACL injury in '16 I was back in 6 months. This is my 3rd one.

- I'd be surprised if it wasn't over $70M APY on the 2024 draft QBs. Josh Allen/Patrick Mahomes could be valued at 9-figure average on new-money APY basis. And Dak Prescott's deal, which had a $60M new-money APY, is now 2 years old—and will be 3 offseasons old in the spring. · Quoting James Palmer: Something to think about with Baker Mayfield. $55 million is the going rate for a QB ... right now. Wait until AFTER the 2026 season. Lamar is a wildcard and could agree to a massive new deal at anytime between now and this upcoming offseason. What are Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and Bo Nix going to get next offseason? Those deals could raise the rate for the entire QB market. A 55 million dollar price tag today, could be a $65 million dollar price tag next offseason.
- Alex Singleton: “I think when the Chiefs go get a back like [Walker], it is saying to the league, ‘Hey, we want to run the ball. We want to show the league that we can.’ And I think that’s what they’re going to come out and do and we’re going to prepare for that. “They’re going to have their trick plays, their special plays, their high-red, their low-red, all that stuff where you see the Andy Reid/Patrick Mahomes Magic if you want to call it that plays. We’re going to prepare for it all, but an offense that runs the ball first makes the game really hard to play. So our first goal is always going to be to stop the run.” · Quoting MikeKlis9NEWS: Between Mahomes' knee and addition of Walker, will Chiefs run the ball more in 2026? | https://
