Chiefs Nearing Deal with Trey Smith
The Chiefs have until July 15 at 4 PM ET to finalize Trey Smith’s contract. According to former insider and NFL Social Media Icon “Rickey”, they’re on the “goal line” of wrapping it up—a critical signing in protecting Mahomes.

  • Patrick Mahomes appeared on Up and Adams with Kay Adams, previewing his mindset for the season, Week 2 vs. Philly, and even exploring Travis Kelce’s cameo in Happy Gilmore 2.

📚 Daily Fan Education

What Does It Mean to “Blitz” in Football?
A blitz is when extra defenders—beyond the usual linebackers—rush the quarterback in an attempt to hurry a throw or force a mistake.

🛡️ How It Works:

  • Instead of dropping back, more players come forward to attack.

  • Typically, five or six rushers crash through the offensive line, aiming to overwhelm protection.

📈 Risk vs. Reward:

  • ✅ Great pressure can lead to sacks or tipped passes.

  • ❌ But it means fewer defenders in coverage—if the QB evades, big plays can happen.

When you hear “they’re blitzing,” expect chaos up front—and high-stakes action.
