Chiefs’ Most Expensive Rookie Shows Up Late – Coach Reid Reportedly Furious
Kansas City, August 2025 – Camp at Aubrey’s practice fields was buzzing with energy, but Monday’s morning walkthrough brought a different kind of heat.
Josh Simmons, the Chiefs’ first-round pick (31st overall) and biggest-money rookie, signed a four-year, $14,675,356 fully guaranteed contract—including a $7,312,984 signing bonus. He arrived late to the team meeting, drawing an immediate reprimand from Head Coach Andy Reid:
“You’re the most expensive rookie, and your talent is also rated the highest — but your sense of discipline isn’t worth a dime. If you’re late one more time, you won’t have any chance to show your talent. I need commitment more than talent.”
Hall-of-Famer Travis Kelce and defensive anchor Chris Jones exchanged glances as Reid’s words cut through the room. Sources say this was Simmons’s second tardy offense of camp.
“A big contract can’t buy you accountability,” an offensive assistant remarked. “Here in Kansas City, we demand precision on and off the field.”
All eyes are on Simmons: will he right the ship and earn his stripes, or will early entitlement derail a promising start
