"NFL is going to be wild this next week!" Mahomes tweeted along with three popcorn emojis.

The defending Super Bowl champions could have a bit of a different look to them as well when free agency officially opens up. Mecole Hardman and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are likely to find new teams once the new league year begins while Kansas City will reportedly look to bring back JuJu Smith-Schuster.

GIANTS GIVE STERLING SHEPARD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY WITH NEW ONE-YEAR CONTRACT: REPORT

Hardman is going to hit the open market while the Chiefs have been rumored to be interested in trading the former LSU standout running back. Kansas City took a chance on Smith-Schuster last year and he had 78 catches for 933 yards and three touchdowns in 2022.

Jerick McKinnon and Justin Watson are also set to be free agents as well as Orlando Brown and Nick Allegretti. 

On the defensive side, Kansas City is not expected to re-sign edge rusher Frank Clark either. The Chiefs said their farewells to Clark after the two sides failed to agree to a contract extension.

And that’s only the issues the Chiefs are dealing with.

Around the NFL, Aaron Rodgers could be traded from the Green Bay Packers or retire from the league altogether while the Baltimore Ravens hope to bring back Lamar Jackson.

The "legal tampering" period in the NFL begins Monday and the start of the new league year begins Wednesday. According to NFL rules, the "legal tampering" period means certified agents of impending unrestricted free agents may begin negotiating with teams. Players cannot officially sign until March 15.

He said he was unsure what the deal was with Williams but admitted he had a "personal" beef with the superstar point guard.

"Now Kyrie and I have our differences on a personal level, which is none of anybody’s business and I’ll never tell why," Smith said. "He knows why. And his daddy knows why. They know how I feel about how they’ve acted towards me and they know how I feel about them and I know how they feel about me. But I can say that to anybody out there because I know that that does not interfere with my reporting on him and my perspective based off of the facts."

Irving has taken the brunt of the criticism in his Nets tenure for skipping several games in 2021 while he chose to take some time away from the team to address some personal issues and then last season when missed games due to his decision not to get the coronavirus vaccine.

This season, Irving was criticized when he appeared to tweet a link to a movie on Amazon that spreads antisemitic disinformation. Smith was one of the pundits and analysts who criticized Irving for failing to disavow antisemitism quicker.
