Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Patrick Mahomes cap number skyrockets from $5 million to $25 million ahead of next season, increasing the Chiefs degree of difficulty. But no team has a greater head-start. Although Kansas City s O-line crumbled in Tampa, Mahomes will have his team perched as Super Bowl favorites again soon. His 114 TD passes dwarf any other QB s total through three seasons, and no quarterback can match his MVP-Super Bowl MVP-Super Bowl qualifier achievement ledger in that time. With Mahomes and Andy Reid committed long-term, the Chiefs are better positioned than anyone in the most important roles. Playoff hero Chad Henne: also due back.

If Washington let Scherff hit free agency, he would be in line for a record payday for his position. Last year, Scherff became the first guard to be franchise-tagged since 2011. Washington tagging Scherff again would cost $18 million, making an extension a more palatable move for the organization. But Scherff and Washington have failed to reach an extension agreement for years. While the former top-five pick has battled injuries over the past few seasons, he was voted a first-team All-Pro in 2020. Washington s O-line would look much worse without its 29-year-old interior anchor.

It’s hard to look at the current standings and see the Rangers as a playoff team. While they are just a solid win streak away of getting back in it, the deck is stacked against them.
The loss of Jacob Trouba is huge. If Artemi Panarin’s leave of absence goes beyond a few weeks, how can any team be expected to make the post-season?
