Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Saturday on SportsCenter that Kansas City and Baltimore are candidates to sign a veteran wideout, with Stefon Diggs, Keenan Allen and Tyreek Hill still available.
- The Chiefs’ receiver group is thin after Marquise “Hollywood” Brown left, leaving Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton atop the depth chart while fifth-round pick Cyrus Allen competes in OTAs, the NFL’s voluntary spring practices.
- Baltimore leans on Zay Flowers with Rashod Bateman coming off a 224-yard season and limited proven depth, and the team drafted Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt to push for roles.
- Stefon Diggs was recently acquitted of assault and strangulation charges, though reports say the NFL’s personal-conduct review remains open, and Albert Breer has flagged the Chiefs and Commanders as logical fits on a one-year deal near $10 million.
- Money and timing loom large, with Kansas City around $6 million in cap space versus more than $18 million for Baltimore, and evaluations in late May and early June likely to drive any pre-camp signings.
