Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes has been receiving a flurry of messages on his phone. Surprisingly it’s not just from fans or the media – it’s from other NFL players who want to play alongside him.
The NFL free agency process is going to continue to become heated up over the next several days, and there is a chance that some interesting occurrences could take place.
The legal tampering period began on Monday, and it is anticipated that teams will begin negotiations with agents representing athletes who will become unrestricted free agents on Wednesday.
Why are NFL players messaging Patrick Mahomes?
NFL Network reporter James Palmer appeared on “Good Morning Football”, where he revealed that their star player Patrick Mahomes is getting messages from opposing players who are eager to play the next season with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.
Palmer addressed the Chiefs’ plans for the upcoming offseason, during which he stated that they were looking to resign the wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, which could result in Mahomes having the same group around him with which he just won a Super Bowl.

Nonetheless, Palmer also noted that they have not yet finalized anything and disclosed that certain wide receivers are reaching out to arguably the next GOAT of the NFL, asking if they might join the Kansas City Chiefs and play with them.
He went on to clarify that their present strategy is to keep their squad unchanged because it appears to be the most rational decision right now, but he didn’t completely rule out the prospect of putting a new face into the mix.
The Chiefs are all set to start the new season with an energetic team after winning an incredible Super Bowl against Philadelphia Eagles last season.
JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman, and Justin Watson are free agents this season.
The Chiefs’ general manager Brett Veach also seems to be thinking of an unchanged squad. But he might think of taking a move by overhauling the position again to a minor degree as they have Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney, and Skyy Moore as their back. But letting go Smith-Schuster, who is now arguably the best receiver, may not bring the same continuity from the previous year.
Being in the Kansas City Chiefs- the champion of the latest Super Bowl LVII- is a lucky affair for athletes. As the offseason unfolds, it remains to be seen which free agents will ultimately join the Chiefs or they will keep the squad the same.
For fans of the Chiefs, the news that so many guys are willing to play alongside Mahomes is obviously exciting. It looks like the squad is primed for another great season, with a talented group of players and a determined quarterback at the lead.
