AFC Notes: Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Chargers

• Daniel Popper of The Athletic predicts LB Kyzir White will receive a four-year, $35 million extension from the Chargers after his improved season, despite the team having other breakout players on their defense this season including S Nasir Adderley and OLB Uchenna Nwosu.
• Popper thinks the Patriots are currently overpaying for what former Chargers TE Hunter Henry brings to the table and says he doesn’t see the team letting him walk away in free agency this past offseason as a mistake.

Chiefs

• Chiefs’ CB Tyrann Mathieu commented on the Raiders’ decision to meet on the Chiefs logo: “It doesn’t really move me. I don’t think champions act in that manner. It doesn’t even matter.” (McDowell)

Raiders

• NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports the NFL didn’t fine Raiders DE Yannick Ngakoue for unnecessary roughness last week.
