Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is a ‘complete player,’ according to free-agent LB Tamba Hali (Chiefs). ‘He can throw the ball,’ Hali said. ‘Athletically, he’s gifted. You don’t have to coach it. In practice, I’d watch him just look guys off.’

Redskins | Jordan Reed done next year?
Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed’s (toes) contract may not be renewed next season if he can’t stay on the field in 2018. The Redskins would save more than $6.1 million in salary cap space by letting Reed go. On the bright side, head coach Jay Gruden said he is on track to be ready for training camp.
Footballguys View: Back in 2016 Reed signed a six-year, $48 million contract with $22 million guaranteed. During the last two years, Reed has only appeared in 18 games…and only six last year due to injury. Everyone under the sun knows he’s a talented prospect when healthy, but staying on the field has been a real problem for Reed since he came into the league as a third-round pick out of Florida in 2013. He’s a TE1 when healthy, but Reed comes with a huge injury risk having never played a full 16-game season during his pro career.
Dolphins | Cameron Wake could scale back snaps
Miami Dolphins DE Cameron Wake said he could scale back some plays this season if it’s in the best interest of the team. ‘I don’t have this ‘Everybody look at me. I must be the starter.’ That’s not my mentality,’ Wake said. ‘I want to do whatever is going to help the entirety of the team, the entirety of the defense. So, if it means me being a third-down guy, let’s do it. If it means I have to start and play every down, I’ll take that role on, too.’
