The Kansas City Chiefs have signed RB Ronald Jones to a one-year deal.

Related Players: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Jerick McKinnon, Darrel Williams

Jones' addition means that the Chiefs will be making some cuts at running back as time gets closer to the regular season. Jones is no lock to make the roster, but his two seasons of 1,000-plus yards from scrimmage gives him a leg up over McKinnon (injury history) and Williams (ineffective). Jones is a zero in the passing game, so if he does stick with the Chiefs, he will be used in short yard situations or as an injury replacement.

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a three-year deal.

MVS is not Tyreek Hill, but in terms of speed threats he is at least in the picture. Valdes-Scantling has been hit-or-miss with Aaron Rodgers, but at least he has a chance to receive consistent quality deep targets from another elite quarterback.

The Miami Dolphins have acquired WR Tyreek Hill from the Kansas City Chiefs for five draft picks.

Hill wanted out and got his wish. He strengthens the Dolphins wideout corps but takes a notable drop in quarterback with either Tua or Teddy under center. There is also the question of how good Miami's offensive line is even after adding Terron Armstead.

The Chiefs are almost a lock to add to their wide receiver room with either top 50 pick from the Dolphins or their own first rounder. Kansas City is also meeting with Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He is nowhere near Hill in terms of talent, but MVS has excellent speed.

WR JuJu Smith-Schuster is signing a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Smith-Schuster arguably becomes the second-best wideout Patrick Mahomes has had the ability to throw to behind Tyreek Hill. He also is betting on his health by signing a prove-it deal. Smith-Schuster played five games in 2021 because of a shoulder injury.

The Indianapolis Colts are trading for QB Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders for draft picks.

Nothing says mediocrity like Carson Wentz and the Commanders. Poor Terry McLaurin.

This also leaves a hole at QB for the Colts to fill via free agency or trade.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.

If we're being honest, Williams does not offer anything McKinnon and CEH don't. If sitting Sunday as touchdown favorites puts Williams in line to play past Sunday, it may benefit the Chiefs.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) will not play Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) has no injury designation, while RB Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.

A 50/50 backfield could be in order if Williams misses Sunday. If he does suit up, it could be another non-healthy healthy scratch, too. The K.C. backfield could be a DFS minefield this weekend.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid told reporters Wednesday that RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) "moved around well" Wednesday, but the real test for him is Thursday's practice.

A CEH return matters with Darrel Williams sitting out Wednesday. A CEH-Jerick McKinnon backfield should be expected this weekend.

Chiefs RB Darrel Williams (toe) did not practice Wednesday.

CEH may have practiced Wednesday, which will be confirmed once K.C. puts out their first injury report for the week. His return is vital with Williams being a healthy non-scratch during their Super Wild Card win.
