Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney noted that Bieniemy made a difference in his game despite the short time they spent together in 2022. Toney is just the latest example of the overwhelming support Bieniemy has received from both current and retired players in the wake of former Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy’s disparaging comments about the former Chiefs OC.
Speaking of Toney, Chiefs receivers coach Joe Bleymaier said there’s “no limit” for Toney in the Chiefs’ offense. “Our main focus was just getting him comfortable,” Bleymaier told Fox Sports’ Henry McKenna. “He got comfortable with the offense very quickly.” Toney had two game-changing plays in Super Bowl LVII — a five-yard touchdown and a 65-yard punt return, the latter being the longest in Super Bowl history. It’s safe to say Toney’s potential hasn’t come close to being met in K.C. It’s also easy to forget that he was a first-round pick. When Toney was drafted by the New York Giants, making him a No. 1 WR was on their mind. It’s too early to tell if he’ll become that in K.C., but the talent is certainly there.

Apparently, Commanders owner Daniel Snyder has some beef with Amazon owner Jeff Bezos which led to Snyder blocking Bezos from bidding on the Commanders. Bold move considering there aren’t many people equipped enough to spend the kind of cash that Bezos could spend on an NFL team.
There’s more Russell Wilson drama as The Athletic reported that the current Broncos QB tried to get Pete Carroll fired when Wilson was the signal-caller for the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson has, of course, refuted this report.
