Month: February 2024

The Kansas City Chiefs are riding high after winning back-to-back Super Bowls. However, in order to make a legit run for a three-peat, the Chiefs need to make an upgrade at wide receiver.

With the NFL raising the salary cap to $255.4 million, Kansas City has more wiggle room to make a “bold” move. ESPN insider Aaron Schatz predicts the Chiefs will land one of the most sought-after pending free agents and sign Mike Evans.

“It’s hard to critique the team that just won a second straight Super Bowl, but we all know that the Chiefs’ wide receivers were a disappointment,” Schatz wrote. The Chiefs’ receivers entered the postseason leading the league in dropped passes.

“Start with the best player on the market — and he just happens to have a ring of his own already… Evans ranked 23rd in DVOA among qualifying wide receivers last season and has 10 straight years with at least 1,000 receiving yards.”

The #Buccaneers had a soft deadline today to get an extension done with Pro Bowl WR Mike Evans, but both sides remain far apart, sources say. Tampa Bay is set to take on $7.4M in 2024 dead money by not getting a deal done today. @BleacherReport

Talks will continue, but my…

Evans, the No. 7 overall pick from the 2014 NFL draft, signed a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which expired this past season. While Evans has spent his entire career in Tampa Bay, the two sides remain “far apart” on extension discussions, per Bleacher Report’s Aaron Schultz. The Bucs took on $7.4 million in dead money by not getting a deal done by February 19.

“He’s money in the red zone, with 13 touchdowns last season,” Schatz continued. “Imagine Patrick Mahomes throwing to Evans on one side with Rashee Rice on the other side and Travis Kelce in the middle. It’s enough for Chiefs Kingdom to already start planning another celebration.”

How Much Would it Cost the Chiefs to Land Mike Evans in Free Agency?

Schatz isn’t the only analyst linking Evans to the Chiefs. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport sees Kansas City as the “best fit” for the five-time Pro Bowler. While the Chiefs might not be the “most likely” landing spot, “it’s just fun to imagine the rest of the league swearing as Evans puts pen to paper in Kansas City,” Davenport surmised.

So, what would it cost to bring Evans to the Chiefs? Davenport predicts the Texas A&M alum to earn a two-year, $42 million contract with $33 million guaranteed.

AtoZ Sports listed Evans as the 5th best pending free agent in the NFL. “Evans ranked top-10 in receiving yards and yards per route run and top-15 in yards per catch and average depth of target while leading the league in receiving touchdowns,” the outlet wrote.

“Evans is able to act as an ‘X’ receiver volume target while simultaneously still operating as one of the best deep targets in the NFL. An underrated route runner, he was able to display those skills better in 2023 operating in offensive coordinator Dave Canales’ system while setting a career high in yards after catch.”

The Chiefs are Encouraged to Draft a Wide Receiver After Signing Mike Evans

With Evans turning 31 in August, Schatz suggests the Chiefs add insurance through the 2024 NFL draft. “Start preparing for the inevitable by using that No. 32 pick on another wide receiver who can gradually step in over the next couple of years,” the analyst wrote. “Florida State’s Keon Coleman has similar size and would make a perfect heir apparent to Evans.”

Last season, Coleman tallied 50 receptions for 658 yards and 11 touchdowns. Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson calls Coleman a “risky” prospect.

“He made some of the best contested catches you’ll ever see last season, but he caught only 33.3% of those opportunities,” Monson wrote.

While Coleman may not be in the cards for the Chiefs, drafting a wide receiver in the first round wouldn’t come as a total surprise. As it stands, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a strong cut-candidate. And it seems likely that Kadarius Toney played his last game in Kansas City.

“He was my little best frieпd,” the NFL star’s mom tells PEOPLE exclυsively ahead of his foυrth Sυper Bowl appearaпce

The mother-of-three says she felt directioпless jυst before learпiпg she was pregпaпt with Patrick iп 1995 at age 20. “Sometimes, I look back aпd I’m like, ‘Where woυld I be if I didп’t have him?’ Becaυse I wasп’t goiпg dowп a bad road, I jυst wasп’t goiпg oп a road,” Raпdi says.

Raпdi shares Patrick, 28, aпd Jacksoп Mahomes, 23, with Pat Mahomes Sr. She is also mom to Mia Raпdall, 12, from aпother relatioпship.

Aпd despite years of watchiпg Patrick oп the field, Raпdi says she still gets пervoυs seeiпg him play.

Travis Kelce surprised Taylor Swift with extravagant Valentine’s Day gifts, including 250 Eternity roses and a $3,100 rose sculpture.

 

The NFL star reportedly spared no expense, as he intends to accompany Swift throughout her European tour, booking luxurious hotel suites and adorning her with designer accessories. Following the Super Bowl victory, they celebrated in Las Vegas, where Swift danced alongside Kelce to her song “You Belong with Me.”

From winning the Super Bowl to celebrating in Las Vegas alongside his girlfriend Taylor Swift and participating in a parade marred by tragedy, it’s been an emotionally turbulent week for Travis Kelce. However, the 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end pulled out all the stops to surprise Swift with a delightful floral welcome on Valentine’s Day as she arrived in Melbourne for her seven-show tour.

According to a source close to the couple, the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker was pleasantly surprised by the Valentine’s Day gifts as she prepared to transition back to work mode.

 

The insider who spoke to U.S Sun revealed that Kelce sent his beau a lavish arrangement of 250 Eternity roses valued at $2,100. These roses require minimal care and attention and can last for an entire year. The floral delight was also delivered in a “monumental round Parisian-inspired Hat Box,” described as a “sweeping gesture of love and luxury that serves as an ideal gift for your Eternal Love.”

As recounted by the insider, shortly after receiving the Eternity roses, Swift was surprised with another extravagant gift: a vibrant hot pink floral arrangement valued at $2,100. Adding to the floral splendor, the “Blank Space” singer also received a handcrafted rose sculpture by luxury design company Perigold, worth $3,100.

Described as a symbol of love, emotion, and sentiment,” the rose sculpture “embodies the passion that has inspired la Maison Daum for over 140 years,” and a “graceful” flower that “crystallizes a message of infinite love” and “conveys an unforgettable emotion.” The Perigold website added: “The finely carved crystal rose unveils the subtlety and grace of the flower and is accentuated by the precious stem gilded in 24-karat gold or palladium, revealing its exquisite delicacy.”

 

According to the source, “Travis knows what [Swift] likes and is always wanting to send her lots of nice flowers.” The outlet previously detailed the couple’s summer plans, revealing Kelce’s intention to accompany the singer throughout the demanding European leg of her tour. Luxurious hotel suites in Paris, Milan, and London have been booked, along with romantic getaways between sold-out shows.

The NFL star has spared no expense to ensure Swift looks impeccable during their time in the French capital, purchasing a stylish black lambskin Dior beret valued at $1,100. Additionally, he’s adorned her with a French-made Hermes shawl and a chic Bottega Veneta handbag, each adding to her sophisticated ensemble.

For leisurely moments away from the spotlight, a wide-brimmed Celine straw hat completes her summer look. According to the insider, Kelce’s lavish gestures “show her how much he cares about her and the upcoming months to come as they will travel together all over the world.”

Bradley Beal isn’t bringing any baggage with him to the Phoenix Suns, and that includes his home in Bethesda, Maryland.

The former Washington Wizard, who was traded in June after a decade with the team, has just hoisted his sprawling D.C.-area mansion onto the market for $10 million. According to property records, the NBA All-Star guard shelled out $7.8 million for the palatial spread back in 2019, which he snapped up directly from the developer. The roughly 13,500-square-foot property sits on two acres and comprises six ensuite bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

 

According to the listing, held by Jill Schwartz and Andres Serafini of RLAH @properties, the trendy pad draws its design cues from South Florida, with an overall contemporary ambiance and chic finishings. Rest assured, there’s no shortage of jaw-dropping spaces. Think textured wallcoverings, abstract wool carpets, dramatic light fixtures, and hand-laid Italian mosaic tile in the foyer. Plus, the place is packed with custom cabinetry, ornate wrought iron railings, and heated tile floors.

Formal living and dining rooms are joined by a family room with a wet bar, a home office, and a chef’s kitchen that’s decked out with Viking appliances, plus a giant center island that’s topped with rare natural granite. Among the more unconventional extras, the all-time leading scorer’s abode sports its own fitness center and an arcade room, both of which have floor-to-ceiling walls of glass that look down on an NBA-certified underground half-basketball court.

Like the house, the grounds are fit for an athlete. There’s a full-size tennis court with stadium lighting and a heated swimming pool. However, you don’t have to be the active type to enjoy the outdoor areas. There’s also an alfresco kitchen for the culinary-inclined and a fire pit if you just want to kick back and get cozy.

 

Taylor Swift made a panicked phone call in the early hours of the morning to her boyfriend Travis Kelce after she was left ‘shaken up’ by the horror shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs parade, just hours after she touched down in Australia.

 

The pop superstar, 34, who is currently on the Australian leg of her Eras World Tour, was on the phone to the tight end at around 6am Melbourne time, just minutes after gunfire broke out on the west side of Union Station at 1:48 pm local time on Wednesday.

She then called her new friend Brittany Mahomes, whose husband Patrick is Travis’ teammate, with the pair taking comfort in one another after the incident which claimed one life.

‘Taylor was extremely worried when she heard of the shooting, as expected,’ a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. ‘She got on the phone with Travis right away and was so incredibly relieved to hear his voice.

‘She spoke to Brittany too and they were shaken up by this tragedy.’

The source explained how Taylor was left ‘heartbroken’ to learn that one person had died as further information about the victims was released.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 44, was killed when two juvenile gunmen opened fire in the crowd during a ‘personal dispute’ that escalated. Twenty-one others were injured, including nine children. Three people were detained after the incident.

Taylor made two $50,000 donations to the GoFundMe page set up for the grieving family of the Kansas City radio DJ.

‘She was heartbroken to hear of the death and she hopes her donation helps,’ the insider added.

‘She has so much love for the Kansas City community and is sending all her love and support.’

On donating the money, Taylor wrote: ‘Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift.’

Travis, 34, also tweeted, telling fans he had been left ‘heartbroken’ by the violence.

He then continued to celebrate his Super Bowl success as he enjoyed a meal at a local restaurant with his Chiefs teammates.

The three-time Super Bowl winner was pictured posing with teammate Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany in a photo obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

He is yet to respond to criticism of his continued celebrations which was branded a ‘red flag’ by some.

The first red flag emerged at Sunday’s Super Bowl itself, when Travis pushed his 65-year-old coach, Andy Reid, during a moment of rage during the game.

At the time, a source told DailyMail.com: ‘Honestly, Travis yelling at coach Reid like that was surprising and a little bit concerning to Taylor’s friends simply because they were not aware that he even had a side to him like that…’

The source added: ‘They understand that it’s the biggest game of the year and that there is a lot at stake – but Travis is a pro and should have handled himself with a bit more dignity than to scream at his coach like that.

‘This was his first red flag as far as Taylor’s friends are concerned and even Taylor seemed a bit surprised. Being the professional that she is, she has never flipped out on anyone like that.’

The insider explained that the outburst was made worse by the fact the singer’s entire family was there to witness it.

They continued: ‘Her family was there and all of her friends. He knew this. Travis should have been able to keep his cool better.

‘That kind of shouting would be a breaking point for some people in relationships.’

After the game, Travis told the media that his rage was down to the fact that he ‘wanted the score to be different.’

His coach later told ESPN that Travis embraced him after the victory: ‘He came over and gave me a hug, said “Sorry about that.” He just wants to be on the field and he wants to play.’

Then fans were left concerned by his drunken appearance during the Chiefs’ victory parade, shortly before the tragic shooting took place.

Meanwhile, prosecutors are still undecided on the charges against the three suspects they have in custody.

Two are juveniles who were having a ‘personal dispute’, according to police yesterday.

One, who was carrying an assault rifle, was tackled by heroic fans as he tried to flee the scene.

None have been named. The local district attorney said they intend to charge all of the suspects as adults, with the judge’s permission.

On a festive Christmas Day in 2010, basketball fans witnessed a historic moment as Kevin Durant took to the court, debuting the original Nike pair of sneakers. Little did anyone know that this game would become a memorable showcase of Durant’s exceptional talent, as he went on to drop a game-high 44 points.

The anticipation was palpable as Durant laced up his new Nike kicks, ready to make a statement on one of the biggest stages in the NBA. As the game tipped off, it became evident that something special was about to unfold. Durant’s smooth shooting stroke, lightning-quick moves, and uncanny ability to find scoring opportunities left the opposing team struggling to contain him.

With each shot Durant sank, he solidified his reputation as one of the league’s most formidable scorers. His performance that day was nothing short of breathtaking, leaving fans in awe of his skills. The original Nike sneakers seemed to be a perfect match for Durant’s playing style, providing him with the comfort, agility, and support needed to dominate on the court.

As Durant’s point total climbed, so did the excitement in the arena. The crowd erupted with every basket he made, recognizing the extraordinary display of talent they were witnessing. It was a Christmas Day game for the ages, with Durant stealing the spotlight and capturing the hearts of fans worldwide.

Beyond the individual accolades, Durant’s performance that day showcased his relentless competitiveness and unwavering dedication to the game. It was a testament to his work ethic and commitment to honing his skills, both on and off the court. His ability to rise to the occasion and deliver under pressure further solidified his status among basketball’s elite.

The significance of that Christmas Day game extended beyond Durant’s personal achievements. It marked the beginning of a longstanding partnership between Durant and Nike, a collaboration that would produce a series of iconic sneakers over the years. The original Nike pair became a symbol of Durant’s excellence and served as a foundation for his future signature shoe lines.

Looking back, that Christmas Day in 2010 will forever hold a special place in the annals of basketball history. It was the day Kevin Durant debuted the original Nike pair, leaving an indelible mark on the game with his breathtaking 44-point performance. It was a glimpse into the greatness that Durant would continue to exhibit throughout his career, solidifying his place among the basketball legends of his generation.

As fans reminisce about that unforgettable game, they can’t help but marvel at Durant’s extraordinary talents and the impact he has made on the sport. His performance on that Christmas Day was a testament to his sheer skill, determination, and love for the game. And with each subsequent game, Durant continues to captivate audiences, reminding us why he is considered one of the greatest players of his era.
