Are we sure this isn’t photoshopped?

Chargers would be wise to get him wrapped up early - 2 years left, but I wouldn't wait too long. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-ange...herbert-47599/

Denver should also work out an extension with Wilson, he has 2 years left... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-b...l-wilson-9885/

this.

i really don't get all the reports about our fascination with smith. sounds like he's after more guaranteed. not sure why veach would want to get involved with this mess with the previous one still on the ****ing roster.

Our "interest" in Smith had to do with Joe Cullen. I have to wonder if we're actually interested at all.

The only thing about Smith is there's at least SOME smoke.

Not only has there been nothing on Key to the Chiefs, there's been like no rumors about Key AT ALL.

The first Key info is from today….and he’s going to Detroit for a visit.

There are still plenty of DEs in FA that I think could fit here and wouldn’t be super expensive because of the draft class and the current market.

Hadn't seen that yet but yeah, that would be the first info on Key period.

The market has been quiet for guys like him.

Green.
Barnett.

All younger guys with warts that aren’t going to command tons of money. I’d have to think that Veach is keeping his eye on them.

Too quiet.

I'd really like to see them do something sooner rather than later.

Something of note that I think is worth bringing up is that we seem to draft for a year in advance of the hole being open.

21:We had Hitch, we took Bolton.
21:We had Blythe, we took Creed.
20: We had Damien, we took CEH (luxury, dumb, but we did). Then DW opted out.
19: We had Sammy, we took Mecole (also, Tyreek stuff was breaking/scary)

So, who are the notable upcoming replaceable starting players in 2023?
2 WR: Mecole Hardman, maybe JuJu since its a 1 year deal
2 DE: Frank Clark + whatever random ass vet/s we sign
1 S: Juan Thornhill
1 DT: Derick Nnadi

I think we're going to pick a DE or a WR. Also, Veach is huge on value, and those are 2 of the highest paid positions as of late, so 4/5 years of quality play on a rookie deal at those positions specifically is really important.

Generally speaking, there are a lot more WR's than DE's out there each year when looking at FA, Trades, & Draft, so DE would be the biggest area to address with this pick.

I'm just not sure the available talent will be worth the pick at that spot, so WR won't surprise me.

That is very suspicious. He may be a CIA mole.

Chris Jones' contract is about to balloon. We're probably a 2 years from him needing replaced rather than 1 but he should at least be on your list.

I agree with you but you have to add Jones in there as well. His cap hit next year is around $29 million, I believe. He’ll be 29 and I’m not sure Veach is willing to give him another contract. I’d have to check but I think Saunders is almost gone as well.

Do not leave Chris Jones off that list. A best case scenario would be to get Wyatt and he is dynamite and we release or trade CJ for big cap savings.
