I think they want veteran WRs and offensive players around pat. I get it, I guess

If he shows in 18 he can be a 3 down guy, I’d definitely approach him about it.

But as of right now, all those guys save for hill have questions

But is has to be in their long term planning.

Otherwise, you get a salary cap that's completely ****ed up.

Ring a bell?

I wouldn’t call Ragland overrated. He played well despite coming off the ACL injury. He got better as he played and KC brought him along slowly which is very wise. Ragland will be given all the chances to prove his ability to be a third down backer

I get that Dane knows a guy in Buffalo(LOL) but Im going to put my faith in whatever Reid/Veach decide to go with. If thats Watkins then Im all in!

I’m sure the money played quite a role. It costs much more to tag a WR. It’s clear that they want Phillips to have a loaded secondary, much like he had in Denver.

I’m sure they’ve got it figured after the last debacle

Talking out of my ass?

So did Veach not say that we’d be in the market for fast outside WRs? Have there not been rumors from the combine connecting Watkins to KC?

Bring him the **** in.

They trade a 2nd rd pick for him and now they are gonna risk letting him walk? They knew that this would happen.

Something isn’t right

YEEESSSS!!!!

Same could be said about Sheldon Richardson then.

Same think with Sheldon

Sunk cost fallacy

****ing pest

Watkins Sherman and Wilkerson


Lol

The tag for a WR is $16M whilst it is $11M for a safety.

And then you take into account the injury history of Watkins and the $5M difference for sure made a big difference in the Rams' decision.

If you're going to pay $16M for a player you want to be sure.

Sherman will be a Patriot. Book it.

I had Field Passes for the Bills-Rams game in 2016 via my close friend and met both Terry & Kim Pegula, among others.

So yeah, he's pretty dialed in.

Middlekauf saying some other big names getting cut today

Yeah, that's what I've been saying all along.

It would be a serious miscalculation on the part of Schneider and Carroll if they gave up a very productive WR (who had better numbers than Sammy Watkins last year, with the Jets, no less) and a 2nd round pick, only to let that player walk.

If they sign Watkins to a deal worth $10 million per, I'd say nope.

This?

Which was a dumbass decision to make in the first place. Shit man would you pay Sheldon big money on a long term deal?

Sherman is 30 with a torn Achilles

Get Mom or I’d pass

Sunk cost fallacy

Pick is already gone. Minimize damage if he doesn’t fit and move on

We’ll see

That would be a pretty big indication Veach doesn’t like any of the WRs here

Patriots.

I heard the Rams are looking for CBs.

Yeah, I get it but what a poor decision by the Seahawks to trade away a valuable 2nd round pick and a very productive receiver.

I'd take Kearse in a heartbeat, especially at $5.5 million per.

I could see him in Green Bay

Justin Houston?

They’ve made a lot of dumb trades lately

I heard that Matt Cassel guy is pretty good and he was just cut. We could use a back up Qb.

Former Pro Bowler
Playoff experience
Familiar with the city
Wiley vet who could help groom Mahomes

Look, I'm fine if they sign a free agent WR but I don't think it's a wise move if they're throwing $10 million per out there for a guy like Sammy Watkins.

They're not winning anything this year, the defense needs a complete overhaul and they don't have a 1st round pick. I think they need to address LG, ILB, Safety, Corner, D line and depth before tossing out a huge contract to an inconsistent player who will be with his 3rd team in 3 years.

Teams hit on productive receivers all the time on Day 3 and the Chiefs should be no different.

They won’t eat that much money

Yeah, the Chiefs just cleared about $25 million in cap space so they can take a $12 million dollar Dead Cap hit by releasing Justin Houston.

That's a great plan which makes perfect sense.

Don’t really disagree

But they are seemingly putting as much talent around pat as possible. I also don’t think they are that far off and feel they can compete this year.

We’ll see what happens. Interested to see how free agency shakes

Funny that the guy that was included with him in the trade to KC just cut him.

Plus Houston is still really good

Heh. That is quite ironic.

I would cause the fan base to flip though wouldn't it. The mere mention of the name brings it out already here.

And, a post June 1 cut frees up an additional 15 million, not cuts into the cap space.

And, this Middlekauff guy is the KC guy right?

That’d be awesome. They’ve never given Rodgers the surrounding talent he deserves on defense.

Panthers traded for Torrey Smith.

No

can someone explain why that when you trade a player does their entire contract not go with them?

Just got Daryl Worley, who I would have loved to have. Cheap, young player with solid ball skills.

Howie Roseman is killing it.

Because the next team isn't liable for a SB that another team already paid out.

Eh, I dunno he's a west coast guy...

He was a scout for Andy in philly

Roseman is making Chip Kelley look like a huge ****ing moron.

He had the stuff on Peters right before he was traded.

That's not too hard to be fair.

what would the cap hit on releasing Eric Berry be? Just curious.

Eh, from 2010-2012 in Philly.

He's been based in the Bay Area for quite a while and I seriously doubt Veach and any other of the personnel department employees are leaking info to him.

:facepalm:

And others had it weeks before.

Apropos of nothing.

We'd LOSE $11 million in cap space.

I think he had the peters stuff at the sr bowl

Chip Kelly is a ****ing moron

Sammy Watkins has the potential to be a top level WR In the right team. You have to grab guys like this when the opportunity presents itself. Getting Sammy will NOT stop us from improving the defense.

The idea of conserving all of our cap space for guys who might be worthy of extensions down the road goes against everything we’ve been talking about since Mahomes was selected.

Look at what the Seahawks and Eagles did, and now the Rams. They had or have QBs on cheap contracts and they spent big on the rest of their roster because there is no better window to win than the one that involves a QB on a rookie contract.

And now we’re supposed to be passive with FA because a few guys on the current roster might need big paydays in 2-3 years? I’m sorry, that’s a loser mentality.

BTW—the Eagles have jack and shit for cap space right now. Seems to be working out ok.

Could not have said it better.

This is how I read the sentence.

Signing Bonus are guaranteed money

Go get Suh and Sherman, Veach.

Market set for Reek.

The Eagles are doing the exact opposite of what people who want to pay Sammy Watkins big money on a long term deal want to do.

This team has been crippled by huge contracts hurt, older players on mega contracts. Eagles went away from that:

Daryl Worley-rookie contract
Jay Ayaji-rookie contract
Ronald Darby-rookie contract
Torrey Smith-mid level contract
Alain Jeffrey-1 year prove it deal
Chance Warmack-cheap contract
Chris Long-cheap contract
LaGarrette Blount-cheap contract
Nick Foles-cheap contract
Timmy Jernigan-rookie contract

Veach is doing this too with Reggie Ragland, Buttkicker and Kendall Fuller. He isn’t torpedoeing the cap on a huge long term deal that straps us to a player to hold us hostage.

Alshon Jeffery just signed a huge contract with Philly.

He signed an extension in December after proving he was a good fit for the Eagles

Yes they did but that’s 1 player. It’s okay to do that but you need to be extremely picky.

Dane’s point is right. I am not confortable giving a huge long term deal to Watkins bc of the reasons Dane pointed out.

2 year deal with a way out? Sure. Long term contract that could force us to pay him dead money for years? Nope

The Browns are expected to trade for Dolphins WR Jarvis Landry.

Dude Timmy Jernigan signed a 4 year 48 million dollar deal right after they traded for him.

I dunno, if there are injury / motivation / locker room concerns about Watkins, that probably brings his price down? I'm fine with the Chiefs being in on him, as long as they don't end up in a bidding war. I wouldn't mind having him at $7-8 mil a year for a few years, if he (or Robinson) can't be had on that kind of deal then oh well, no biggie.

I'd like an offense upgrade, but I'd still rather have FA on the defense side of the ball.

Give me Avery Williamson, Rashaan Melvin and Dominique Easley and I'd be happy. If we got those 3 I'd even consider an offense pick in the 3rd round, rather than the 4th.

Makes sense. Probably the only team that can afford to overpay for Landry without it being ****ing reeruned.
