The Chiefs have closed the book on OTAs and minicamp, but they’re continuing to make news.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a contract extension, former KC cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was re-acquired and the team traded away offensive lineman Wanya Morris — all before the Chiefs were finished with their summer workouts.

KC Star Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney discusses all these developments and more on SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM).

Sweeney also shares which position groups could face the most competitive battles when training camp begins in St. Joseph next month, and what’s in store for the Chiefs over the next few weeks.

SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. It’s produced by Hannah Wise, Suzanne Hogan, and Gabriella Lacey, and edited by Jeff Rosen and Scott Chasen.
