Justin Houston watch: Updating the contract situation [Arrowhead Addict]

Kansas City Chiefs, Justin Houston will talk tomorrow [NFL Spin Zone]

"Based on the fact that Houston isn’t the highest-paid OLB in the game under the franchise tag, you can understand why he is so upset about being tagged and hasn’t signed his tender yet.

KC Chiefs: Alex Smith Considered Below Average Quarterback [KC Kingdom]

"Smith takes a lot of heat from fans mainly due to his inability to throw down the field. Since coming to Kansas City in 2013, Smith has been known to predominantly dump the ball off on short passes.

Chiefs offseason report: Jamaal Charles senses return to elite form [USA Today]

"That Charles is refreshed and motivated should be enough reason to give the Chiefs optimism that they can play their way back into the AFC playoff picture in 2015 after last year’s 9-7 finish. They made the playoffs in 2013, coach Andy Reid‘s first season in Kansas City, but they are looking for their first postseason win since 1993."
