On the latest episode of @TheChiefsWire podcast: @EdEastonJr’s chats w/ #Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams & @TheVikingsWire’s @TheRealForno #KCvsMIN

We’re back with an all-new episode of the Chiefs Wire podcast! This week, we’re previewing the Kansas City Chiefs Week 5 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

We check in with this past week’s press conferences featuring comments from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, running back Isiah Pacheco, and head coach Andy Reid to recap the Week 4 victory over the New York Jets.

We also flashback to Ed Easton Jr.’s NFL Draft Combine conversation with Atlanta Falcons safety and former Alabama standout DeMarcco Hellams. Lastly, Vikings Wire managing editor Tyler Forness breaks down Minnesota’s strengths heading into Sunday’s game.

Listeners can look forward to being well-informed about the Chiefs’ mindset heading to Minnesota this Sunday afternoon. We check in on Hellams’ thoughts on a potential matchup with Travis Kelce in the future, the player that impressed him from Super Bowl LVII, and the Vikings’ likely game plan.

Vikings expert roundtable: The Real Forno Show

On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, managing editor Tyler Forness hosts an expert roundtable with the Vikings Wire staff.

This last season for the Minnesota Vikings has arisen more questions than answers, despite their success in the win-loss column. And as the off-season trudges along, there are even more questions about the team’s future construction. How will they treat the Danielle Hunter situation? What does the running back room look like without Dalvin Cook? How do Justin Jefferson’s contract talks affect the locker room?

Do you have these same inquiries? Good, you’ve come to the right place. All these questions, and more, are getting answered on this week’s episode of The Real Forno Show.

Join Tyler Forness and the entire VikingsWire staff: Judd Zulgad, Kevin Fielder and Saivion Mixson as they discuss these topics and more as we descend further into the dead period of the football calendar.

And tune into The Real Forno Show live every Monday and Wednesday night at 6 PM central time on the Vikings 1st & Skol Youtube Channel.

Vikings Wire believes Chiefs could trade for Danielle Hunter

Our friends at @TheVikingsWire think the #Chiefs would be a good fit for Danielle Hunter if he were traded.

Could the Kansas City Chiefs look to add another edge rusher ahead of the 2023 NFL season? One of our fellow NFL Wire Network sites seems to believe so.

With news that teams have been calling the Minnesota Vikings to inquire about DE Danielle Hunter’s availability, Vikings Wire editor Tyler Forness came up with a list of six teams that could be in the market for his services. Forness feels that Kansas City would be a good fit, noting that Hunter could help the Chiefs offset the loss of Frank Clark, who has now signed with the Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs are an interesting team on this list. They just traded one of their best players last year and drafted two edge rushers in the first round over the past two drafts, but Hunter would be a difference-maker that Steve Spagnuolo’s defense loves to have in his aggressive scheme. It would also take the pressure off of Chris Jones and replace Frank Clark with a better version of him.

The 28-year-old Hunter is coming off of a double-digit sack season — the fourth in his NFL career. He’s likely looking for a third contract and a long-term commitment and a team like Kansas City would need to extend him anyways in order to fit his salary cap number in 2023.

Ultimately, the cash and cap space situation might be too dire for the Chiefs to make a move on Hunter right now. Should their depth at the position take a hit at some point this offseason, it might be a move they’re forced to consider.
