From the NFL’s official transactions report: QB Jordan Ta’amu cleared waivers (waived 5/10) and is now a free agent. OL Andrew Wylie has officially signed his RFA tender. Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) May 11, 2021
The first was that quarterback Jordan Ta’amu has now cleared the NFL waiver process. Since no team claimed him after the Chiefs waived him on Monday, he is now free to sign with any club as a free agent.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sean Culkin won t be converting his NFL salary to Bitcoin after all. At least not a salary that Culkin would draw from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Culkin, who recently attracted attention for his plan to be the first NFL player to convert 100% of his paycheck to cryptocurrency, was released by the Chiefs on Monday. Culkin was trying to earn a job with the Chiefs as a backup tight end behind starter Travis Kelce.

As we head into the final column of “The Medic,” I wanted to note how illuminating this experience was writing these biweekly pieces, as it uncovered how all our formidable sports organizations and leagues like the NBA, NFL and NCAA truly operate.
What I mean by this is how prepared these organizations were to manage the challenging hurdle of the pandemic as well as how they valued science and the safety of their players and staff. Therefore, in this last column of the semester, I intend to look back on how our sports organizations handled the pandemic and what this shows about them.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will reportedly undergo toe surgery Wednesday after the team s Super Bowl LV loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, a full recovery is expected in time for the 2021 regular season:

It’s not clear what the 2021 offseason will look like, but Patrick Mahomes will almost certainly be off the field for it as he recovers. But most importantly, Mahomes should be good to go for the 2021 regular season. https://t.co/2sNE25RzxD
Mahomes is the gold standard at the NFL s most important position. He was named the league s MVP in 2018 and guided the Chiefs to the Super Bowl each of the last two seasons, beating the San Francisco 49ers last year before coming up short against Tom Brady and the Bucs.
