NFL legend weighs in on Patrick Mahomes kicking Chiefs teammate out of meeting after Andy Reid confrontation

Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter defended Patrick Mahomes for telling teammate Josh Simmons to leave a Kansas City Chiefs meeting following a disagreement with head coach Andy Reid. The confrontation reportedly occurred after Reid told Simmons to lower his elevated feet, prompting Simmons to cite back discomfort. When the exchange escalated, Mahomes intervened and directed the offensive tackle to exit the room and receive medical treatment.

Speaking on the Fully Loaded Podcast, Carter argued that established veteran leaders earn the authority to handle such locker room situations. Simmons reportedly apologized after the incident, and Reid clarified that the confrontation was unrelated to Simmons subsequently landing on injured reserve.
