The one guy I’d try and pry from Seattle would be Bobby Wagner.

Yeah, that's not likely. But yes.

He's 27 and under a good contract. **** yeah I'd trade for him.

I'd love to have Sherman here. Pretty sure that would never happen though. He's good.

Theres getting ready to be a butt **** load of trades go down I think.

I’m excited for it bc that’s one thing the NBA did better than the NFL. Glad they are doing it more in the NFL

KC is going youth on defense. I don’t want to deviate from that plan, but I’d definitely try and get him.

That's certainly not a bad scenario.

Wentz is cheap, as is Goff, and both teams are continuing to add pieces.

The Chiefs are at the Ground Floor, IMO.

It would be a waste of cap space, resources and developmental time to plug in guys that would be 29, 30, 31, etc. in 2020.

For better or worse, one executive tells me there are about to be an onslaught of trades, including ones with marquee players. Bennett just the beginning. Buckle up!

Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports tweeted

The Chiefs just need to see guys they like a talk about trading next years LA 2nd. If you can get a young talented player, just do it now.

They'd be in their prime right when the Chiefs are looking to push though. It's a better scenario to get those guys in now, so they can be acclimated and ready to roll in 2019 forward, if that's the plan.

The Chiefs are at the ground floor, but if they choose to wait til next year, they're lagging.

Year 3 of the rookie QB money is when you wanna be right in the middle of the window. Not just getting started.

He's only 27 though. He'll be good for a while.

I agree that’s why I brought him up. I was thinking he was 28.

I like Richard Sherman, and unlike Peterson he can tackle. HOWEVER, I don't know how he would fit in.

We'll see.....

Shit man it really makes me wonder if we see another marquee player traded.

At this point Mahomes, Hunt, Kelce, Berry, Fuller, Ragland, Jones and Hill might be the only guys off limits.

I can't imagine them trading Houston at this point

An outspoken, articulate black CB in the mid-west...I'm sure the fans will love him. :shake: Seattle and KC might as well be in different countries...culturally speaking.

Richard Sherman is much more articulate and educated than Peters though, I doubt it would come off the same.

If he'd come cheap I'd certainly look at it, he's a guy I think at some point will make a pro bowl type transition to safety.

Alec Ogletree traded from Rams to Giants for two 2018 picks

Apparently Wade Phillips doesn't like a lot of the guys he was given to start with.

Rams are giving everyone away apparently.

Well Quinn and Ogletree are much more suited to play in a 4-3 so maybe Wade just doesn't think they are system fits.

Ogletree offered to KC but they declined

Ogletree literally just signed a 4 year 42 million dollar extension in October talk about falling out of favor and that'd explain why the Chiefs declined since he's only 26.

Interesting..

So apparently Veach just wanted the draft picks.....

Ogletree is slated to make 33 million dollars in the first 3 years of that deal.

I'd guess clearing money for an Aaron Donald deal.

Have any names In mind?

Which is why we probably didn't want them either.

@MikeClayNFL If I'm reading this chart correctly, Alec Ogletree ranked 830th out of 856 defensive players graded by @PFF last year.

2018 Free Agents
 

He’s not a scheme fit for KC. We need press corners who thrive playing man coverage. Sherman is great, but he’s a zone corner. Watch him end up with the Chargers playing for Gus Bradley. That would not be ideal

He actually can play man, but I really think he'd make a badass free safety.

Patriots release Martellus Bennett. He was never sticking around at his cap number ($6.1 million). Because the Pats picked him up from the Packers, there is no dead money on the cap for him.

Unclear whether he intends to retire or play on. Patriots likely to be interested in bringing him back at a more reasonable number, depending on how the market plays out. In any event, add MartyB to the list of free agents.

I'd trade for Sherman. He can play corner then transition to FS.

Something that Peters isn't. Something that all players, regardless of color, should strive to be.

Would you trade next years 2nd from the Rams for Lavonte David?

I’m not all about wasting draft capital but using next years 2 could be interesting

I probably wouldn't do that, you should be able to draft a good MLB.

Also I do think a vet or 2 that is still hungry with some skills that won't break the bank wouldn't be a bad idea.

Darqueeze Dennard is a FA that wouldn't be a terrible move.

Well Ogletree cost $11 million the next 3 years. Way too much for him.

I'd prefer if they were going to trade that pick, to trade it for a DL.

Or a CB....or a pass rusher.

They've atleast got options at pass rusher, however shitty they may be.

Corner for sure.

Wonder what contract Nigel Bradham will get

Sounds like Talib was maybe going to be traded to the 49ers, but it likely won’t happen now because he wants to be released to hopefully go to the Patriots...

I thought they had a falling out?

I think you all are going to be very disappointed with the level of free agent the Chiefs to after.

We're Chiefs fans… I think we are used to it by now

I’m use to it. We should all be use to it.

The good news is that we can’t be anymore disappointed since the trading of Peters. We’re already at rock bottom for the start of this offseason.

They might be active in trading some more, but yeah I don't see any big name FA's coming in.

They will go hard next year.

The NY Post's Paul Schwartz reports the Giants are not interested in re-signing free agent C Weston Richburg.
Richburg missed the final 12 games of 2017 with a concussion that landed him on injured reserve. He played center for the Giants the last three seasons but started 15 games at guard in 2014. Now healthy, he's undoubtedly considered one of the top offensive linemen available on the market.

I’d like to see Fulton resigned and then shop Morse to a team like the NYG or Rams who’s C Sullivan is going to be a FA I believe. Maybe Indy or Seattle, not sure what their C situations are.

FA sucks balls this year. I wouldn’t spend much money on these guys.

I think we’ll be making more trades

Agreed.

I think we see Veach go big with signings next offseason.

I hope for one splash though....
Allen Robinson, come on down!

There’s some good free agents that aren’t gonna be thought of as the top of the list that could help though.

Free agency just isn’t the plac to get your studs for the most pwrt

Is it just me or is this year really cap-conscious? I feel like there is going to be a holdout again because players are getting chopped rather than paid. It's like all the GMs re-read Moneyball this offseason.

Not me

I don’t know how many signings there will be because I think all signs point to KC loading up the defense through the draft, but I actually do expect one or two ‘flashy’ signings.

If I absolutely had to predict one, I think Watkins might actually happen. But that obviously depends on if teams like SF are willing to fork over way more guaranteed money than he may be worth.

Just watch some of the plays this guy makes when he gets opportunities: https://youtu.be/Sd1BJGjqt70 (can’t embed right now)

You can’t tell me that the Mahomes and the Chiefs couldn’t really use a guy who is that dynamic. We have no proven capable receivers outside of Hill right now, and we haven’t even saw him play with Pat yet.

If I’m Veach, I’m saying to myself that we’re going to load the defense through the draft. We might sprinkle in a guard somewhere, and maybe sign a defender or two. But the best chance to really help Mahomes and the offense is to add a playmaker like Watkins. He can be dominant in 1v1 situations, and you know damn well that Mahomes is going to give his guys chances to make plays.

And if we’re being honest, an offensive skill grouping of Mahomes-Hunt-Kelce-Hill-Watkins would probably be the most talented unit in football.

I think this draft will look very similar to Seattle’s last year.

Very much so. We might use 6 of those 8 picks on defense.

I'm all for Watkins I like his talent and he would take this offense to another level

There are still dudes that are going to get a ton of money in FA. (Cousins, Trumaine Johnson, Kyle Fuller, Allen Robinson, Andrew Norwell, etc)

The only reason it sticks out is because marquee names of yesteryear are finally getting cut as their bodies have worn down and are severely overpaid for their current production.

This won't be like baseball where it's Eric Hosmer getting paid and everyone else is completely frozen out of the money.

Some folks seem to think Allen Robinson is the guy San Fran may go after and not Watkins.

Looks like the Rams offered the Chiefs some good players who would help them win now but Veach has declined due to big contracts. Why would he go out and sign a guy like Butler for example for big money? A guy like Albert Wilson is going to get 4-5 mil per yet people on here think we'll sign him for 2 mil. The NFL agent market salaries have inflated the past several seasons yet every year people are throwing around 2009 free agent prices for guys. Wishful thinking I guess.

I think he was saying he won't be disappointed because he wasn't expecting any big signings, rather than opposing your view of big signings.

From Breer:

https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/03/08/fr...-mmqb-notebook

Wouldn't be upset at that.

Would have a really hard time rooting for the guy.

Decent article that makes the case for signing a WR.

Two FA targets that make most sense for Chiefs: Robinson and Watkins
https://twitter.com/arrowheadpride/s...306552833?s=21

Amendola is 32. **** that. I’d rather sign Wilson to a new deal.

He's probably gonna be cheap.

After reading Breers article, I think the free agent market is gonna be cheaper than we thought.

I still don’t see a way we can afford either of them. Someone is going to give Robinson a bunch of money. Same could be said about Watkins.

I’d be interested to see what kind of market Paul Richardson has.

I'd rather spend the money on defense. We've seen how much better Mahomes made the hideouts we had.

Scary, but I agree with PGM.

Spend on the D.

It makes sense considering how weak this years FA class is.

:)

Gotta upgrade the pass rush and corners.

We also saw Robinson struggle to be reliable consistently that day. Bottom line, if Hill goes down, we’re in trouble.

The defense can still be addressed at a spot or two but it largely should be addressed via the draft.

I say they sign Watkins
