Jamaal Charles suffered an ACL tear in Week 5 and the Kansas City Chiefs went on an 11-2 run without him.

Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware were productive at running back for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs could have saved $5.3 million, with no dead money, by cutting Charles.

With more than $30 million in cap space, however, the Chiefs have no real reason to cut Charles.

"He will be an important piece of this team moving forward," John Dorsey said.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are considered the top potential landing spots for Robert Griffin III.

Washington will release Griffin before March 9th.

"I'll give you two big options right off the top," Ian Rapoport said on NFL Network. "The Kansas City Chiefs, who have Andy Reid, who has propped up quarterbacks for years. (Griffin) can learn to throw from the pocket under that system. Another potential name: the Philadelphia Eagles with one of Reid's disciples, Doug Pederson. They're looking for some quarterback depth there, especially if they don't re-sign Sam Bradford."

The Denver Broncos are also an option for Griffin if they're unable to re-sign Brock Osweiler. 

Jared Allen has announced his retirement from the NFL at the age of 33.

Allen was a fourth round pick out of Idaho State by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004 and quickly became one of the NFL's best pass rushers.

Allen retires as a five-time Pro Bowler.

Allen signed with the Minnesota Vikings in 2008 and spent six of his best seasons there before joining the Chicago Bears. Allen's final game ends up being Super Bowl 50 with the Carolina Panthers.

The New England Patriots are the favorites to win the 2016 Super Bowl at 9-1.

The Patriots lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, while the team with the second best odds, the Carolina Panthers, lost to the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

The Broncos have the ninth best odds at 18-1.

Marcus Peters of the Kansas City Chiefs has been named the Defensive Rookie of the Year. Peters emerged as a lockdown cornerback for the Chiefs.

Peters received 45 votes compared to four for Ronald Darby of the Buffalo Bills.

"He tied for first in the league in interceptions and led in pass breakups. I thought he had the physical capabilities to be one of the better corners in the league coming out of the draft, and he was just that," NFL Media analyst Willie McGinest said this week. "He's aggressive, plays the ball like a receiver and has a great skill set."

Johnny Manziel has reportedly told people that the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs have interest in signing him.

Manziel will be released by the Cleveland Browns as soon as the NFL calendar year of 2016 begins.

The Rams had draft interest in Manziel, while Ed Werder reports the Chiefs have no interest.
