Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, has given his thumbs up to the team’s decision to re-sign running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. The Chiefs announced on Tuesday that they had sealed a one-year deal with Edwards-Helaire, giving Mahomes another familiar face in the offensive line-up.
Mahomes showed his support by sharing the announcement on his personal X account, clearly pleased with Edwards-Helaire’s return to Kansas City. Interestingly, Edwards-Helaire was signed on the same day that ex-Baltimore Ravens running back JK Dobbins was due to meet with the Chiefs.
Dobbins had a tough start to the 2023 NFL season against the Houston Texans when he tore his Achilles, ending his season before it really got going. He also missed all of the 2021 season after tearing his ACL in the Ravens’ final preseason game against the Washington Commanders.
Looking for a new beginning with a different team, the 25-year-old Dobbins met with the Los Angeles Chargers before the reigning Super Bowl champions. However, with Edwards-Helaire staying in Kansas City, the Chiefs might decide not to sign Dobbins.
Edwards-Helaire has had his fair share of injuries and inconsistent performances, which led the Chiefs to place him behind former seventh-round draft pick Isiah Pacheco. After an impressive rookie season with 803 rushing yards, Edwards-Helaire managed a total of 1,042 rushing yards over the next three seasons.

Edwards-Helaire was part of the team when the Chiefs were defeated by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. Plus, he was a member of the Kansas City teams that won two consecutive Super Bowl titles, against the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers.
With Edwards-Helaire back on board, the Chiefs can continue building a team they hope will be strong enough to potentially win a third straight championship. On Monday, it was reported that Kansas City signed Carson Wentz as the new backup quarterback for Mahomes.
Despite being only 31 years old, Wentz has already played for four teams: The Eagles, Indianapolis Colts, Commanders and Los Angeles Rams. Notably, Wentz was a key player in the 2017 Eagles team that won Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots.
Despite suffering an ACL injury in Week 14 against the Rams, Wentz’s influence was instrumental in helping backup quarterback Nick Foles guide Philadelphia to their first Super Bowl victory. Now with the Chiefs, both Wentz and Edwards-Helaire have the chance to help Kansas City make history by becoming the first team to win three consecutive championships.
The scene is set, and the ambiance is electric as Diddy hosts a lively party, urging everyone to get into the groove. The crowd is divided between girls and guys, with Diddy making it clear that it’s a girl-focused event. The atmosphere is charged with energy as Diddy encourages the ladies to strike up conversations.
