Geno Smith News
Monday, March 9, 6:00 AM
With Geno Smith being released by the Las Vegas Raiders, the veteran quarterback will now be in search of his third team in as many seasons, and according to NFL reporter Connor Hughes, his preferred destination this time around is with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have ties to free agent Malik Willis through new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, though the market for Willis' services is expected to be robust. The 35-year-old Smith, who grew up in South Florida, is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, going 2-13 with the Raiders, while throwing a league-high 17 interceptions. However, with weak quarterback classes in both free agency and the draft, he could find multiple suitors on the open market.

Patrick Mahomes News
Friday, February 20, 3:11 PM
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who has been rehabbing the last two months after having surgery to fix the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, is "already showing progress," according to ESPN's Nate Taylor. "He's around here all the time," Reid said of Mahomes. "He spends a ton of time here, seven hours a day. He's in there cranking away and making progress every day. It's great to see." The three-time Super Bowl MVP and six-time Pro Bowler still has a lot of rehab left, but if he keeps making great strides, he will have a shot to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. Even before his late-season knee injury, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense had taken a step back, and he finished with 3,587 passing yards, a career-low 22 touchdown passes, and 11 picks in 14 games. Coming off major knee surgery, Mahomes will no longer be in consideration as a high-end QB1 in fantasy in 2026 as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL.
