Chiefs Rookie Omarr Norman-Lott Threatens to Quit Over Contract Dispute

Kansas City, MO – July 2, 2025

The Kansas City Chiefs are grappling with a potential crisis as their 2025 second-round pick, defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, threatens to walk away from football amid a heated contract dispute, leaving Chiefs Kingdom in disbelief, sources told ESPN. The standoff has intensified as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

Norman-Lott, selected 63rd overall from Tennessee, has refused to sign his rookie deal, skipping mandatory minicamp drills from June 10-12. The 21-year-old, who recorded 5.5 sacks and 10 tackles for loss in 2024, is demanding a fully guaranteed $10.2 million contract, according to recent estimates. “I want fairness, not a negotiation that feels like a trap,” he told reporters, hinting at a possible exit from the sport if his demands aren’t met.

Coach Andy Reid expressed cautious optimism, saying, “We’re working on it; Omarr has the talent we value,” during a press conference. However, the holdout jeopardizes Kansas City’s Super Bowl LX ambitions following a 40-22 loss in Super Bowl LIX. By avoiding minicamp, Norman-Lott sidestepped $105,000 in fines, minimizing distractions for teammates like Patrick Mahomes.

The dispute mirrors rare holdouts like Bo Jackson, with Norman-Lott’s stance risking his 2025 season. If unsigned by November 11, he could sit out and re-enter the 2026 NFL Draft, excluding the Chiefs, a scenario that could prove costly. His absence has forced the defensive line, already reliant on Chris Jones and Mike Pennel, to lean on younger players, though the unit ranked 18th in pass rush with 38 sacks last year.

GM Brett Veach faces mounting pressure to resolve the issue, with the Chiefs’ $11.2 million cap space providing some flexibility. Norman-Lott’s college accolades—10 sacks over three seasons and a 6-foot-4, 310-pound frame—make him a prized asset, but his back injury history from the Combine adds uncertainty. “We need him, but this can’t linger,” Veach stated.

As training camp approaches on July 23, Norman-Lott’s threat to quit looms large. Can the Chiefs secure their rookie star, or will this drama force a roster rethink? Stay tuned to ESPN for the latest updates.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
