I’ve seen a few articles about Danny Amendola being linked to the Chiefs. Thoughts?

I do too

I think with the cap going up teams aren’t overvaluing draft picks anymore

Yuck

Only if Wilson leaves and only on a 1-2 yr deal.

Jason thinks

Sammy back to rams on a prove it deal 1 or 2 years less then 14m a year

Robinson to 49ers 14m a year

And even then, we would "fix" it within a year and then turn around and go through the exact same shit next season. Forced to cut guys more than a year away from the ends of longterm deals, still eating dead money from the mistakes of the past, faced with a somewhat lackluster array of draft picks from signing too many expensive free agents, all while a good handful of our best players are needing new longterm deals.

Philly gave Wentz those weapons in his second year. That's great. But we aren't Philly. We don't have their defense or their (mostly) clean cap. We'd be spending too much to jumpstart an offense that might not even need jumpstarting, even if it COULD use an extra receiving weapon or two.

We're sitting right now in a very dangerous position at CB. Kenneth Fuller alone is not a secondary. In my opinion, there are a few very good free agent CBs that will be out there. If we pay for a $10 million+ AAV free agent, that's where we should focus our efforts. Give that money to a guy we can trust on a multi-year deal and roll with him as an important cornerstone of our secondary. With that one player, we'd still have some money left on the cap this year to fill in the gaps where needed, rollover some of it into next year, and be in a much better position to add what we need for a big playoff push in 2019.

Yes, the draft will help if we know what we're doing, but I'd prefer to not go into the draft hamstrung by positional need. If we have to draft 2-3 CBs, with one of them going AT LEAST in our first three picks, and also keep our eyes open for potential rookie starters at NT, OLB, and LG, then we're not likely to pick the true best player available on our board every time it's our turn to hand in the card to the podium.

That's what they should do. I doubt it happens, though. Management will never give Gase enough time to see the rebuild all the way through in order for him to have a chance at working with any of the new talent that might come his way.

One horrific losing season puts his head on the chopping block. Two in a row is an automatic death unless your name is Hue Jackson and you coach the Cleveland Browns.

We ALL want more fire and passion from this defense, but do you really want someone that dirty?

There is a distinct line between brutal, physical attitude and outright cheap and dirty IMO... not to mention his well known rep as a freelancer, that kinda shit sets a terrible example for the entire team

BONER!

Have to wait and see but I’m just not sure they’re really looking for a new LG.

C’mon 6 - He’s still top 3 or 4 at his position. Commands doubles all the time and earns his teammates matchup advantages. The intimidation factor is always there which can only help a defense needing an identity.
Go get him.

Yes, that is hopefully the basic template Veach is using

So they talked to them at the combine for funsies?

Meant in free agency

Plus they seem to talk to everyone

Then give me Allen Robinson and be done w/FA.

Yep, said the same thing a couple weeks ago... just have this really weird feeling they're gonna stand pat

They'll put Morse back at center, plug Ehinger back in at LG and let Fulton walk... they're gonna dick this up, I'd swear on it

He is getting old
He is gonna be expensive
He will cost you field position with dumb penalties

http://www.nflpenalties.com/player/n...hins?year=2017

I just dont think Veach is looking for aging superstars, its hard to get young and fast when you're spending all your money on old and expensive

I agree.

They aren’t going to find a DL who will be ready to start day 1 from rd 2-7. They need to get 3-4 mid level FA’s/trades and then use the 1st 2 draft picks all on defense.

Well I can't see them actively looking to give LT money to a Guard.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/e...mpression=true

$14 million? Hell no.

I’m out at that price too.

I don’t know what the hell Veach is going to do. The market sucks.

Hopefully, Veach will resign Fulton and try Morse at LG!

We met a bunch of guards at the combine. I think we’ll draft one.

Any names you can remember?

After a good rookie year, not sure what we have in Morse today. Veach needs to figure this out because we can’t have Mahomes getting beat up behind a shaky OL.

We don’t have a backup plan after Mahomes.

This list tells who we interviewed at the combine —> https://www.google.com/amp/s/chiefsw...l-combine/amp/

Pretty neat to look at.

Apparently we had a formal interview with TE Mark Andrews from OU. He’s a badass.

I think the issue is not necessarily with guards. Yes, we could use a better LG, but we've got guys on the roster. There's at least continuity, if there isn't quality.

Morse just isn't doing the job at C. He's had one good year. If we're always bitching about our OL not getting any push in the run, why is Morse absolved from any of that blame, and why did we suddenly find more success for Hunt when Morse went down for the year and Fulton took over at C?

And if we let go of Fulton (which we SHOULD do if we're not going to make him a starting C) we have nobody behind Morse.

Well, with Morse this year he did originally get injured week 2 against the Eagles. So it’s very possible that he was never close to 100% after that before ultimately getting re-injured and put on IR.

I wouldn’t be trying to extend him at this point, but I think they like him enough to start him again for the season at C.

This would be the best ****ing time to extend Morse. People forget he was a high level Center the previous year.

$14M AAV for Watkins is an absolute NO. I don't know that I would want to pay that much to Robinson either though. That seems a little to high.

Thought about that the other day

Could get him cheaper but injury concerns could bite them

Awww shit, I'm already getting a chub about the formal interview with Will Hernandez

Here is a brief summary of a scouting report on this manster...

6'2 340
Wide body mauler, better mover than body type suggests
Coordinated, with a suddenness and low drive off the snap that can move the LOS
Plays with a mean streak
Can adjust and land blocks on the second level
Strong hands and powerful upper body that can lock onto and drive defenders into the ground

:whackit: go get this guy, Brett1!

I like EJ Gaines as a potential CB signing. Injury issues have been there but he is just 26, has an awesome season in Buffalo. Might be considerably cheaper than a Trumaine Johnson or Kyle Fuller.

Interviewed the Texas punter!

I doubt we draft him, because there will be SOME team who will blow their 3rd on him. And if it's us, we probably ****ed up.

Colquitt's been great, and I didn't mind blowing a 3rd on him at the time only because those Carl/Vermeil drafts were some of the AIDSiest this team has ever seen, so you may as well take the known deluxe punter over some shitty Julian Battle asshole.

That's just something we can't do now, though.

Short with small arms and is hurt a lot. Pass. I still like Brashaud Breeland and hope we go after him.

No Josh Jackson or Josey Jewell? I know I am a Hawkeye homer but they both play positions that we are weak on right now and Josey will be there at one of our picks and Josh has the potential to fall that low... Both are going to be gamers in the league.

Why does Jackson have the potential to fall to us? Everything I've seen out of him screams 1st round pick.

I don't see #1 corner potential in Breeland.

How about Donte Moncrief on a short term "prove it" deal similar to what we gave David Amerson? Low risk, potential decent reward. If he keeps getting injured, it's not like we lost anything huge.

Yeah Trumaine Johnson is the only real #1 corner that fits that mold. Breeland is a capable 2nd corner with the ability to play against bigger receivers.

Might have to look to the draft.

I liked him going into the draft, but he hasn't shown much and is hurt all the time. If we get him for a minimum incentive laden deal I'd be ok with it, a prove it deal like you said, but I think I'd rather see what we have in Marcus Kemp and the Kraut kid before chasing Moncrief.

That would take our 2cd round pick at least. NO THANKS

Judging by our combine meeting list, that’s what’s going to happen. Met with a lot of day two/day three CBs.

Hope the player comes in and can play day one, Amerson is insurance if they can’t.

No thanks on this strategy. Dorsey did this a few years ago and it didn't work at all.

I’m not against good corners, but I’d much rather stick the front 7

Many believe his combine numbers weren't the best and him running a 4.56 (i believe) didn't impress a lot of scouts. Yes, I know he most likely won't fall out of the first round but we won't know until draft night.

Also... I think it would've been worth taking him in for an interview to see if he'd be a guy to move up for if he finds himself still in the 2nd round.

If they went full tilt on a FA that would be it, but I think he'll be totally out of our range.

I don't see any realistic viable #1 corners in the draft, that fit what we want, without a 1st.

I think a year rental from DRC is what we probably need.

If only we had 6 first round picks to secure all of our needs with nobody needing to develop...

you guys all better get your sigs ready for o.coty

Not only does he need to fall out of the first round, but he needs to ****ing TANK if he's going to reach our late pick in the 2nd.

If you want him on the team, you better find a way to plant some weed on him. Otherwise it simply ain't happening.

I like that they are talking to all of the texas tech WRs. Keke Coutee and Dylan Cantrell

Its a lot to chew on no doubt, and I am with all of you who want to see defense as the #1 priority this year... but putting a 340 pound maneater into the middle of this line sounds like just the ticket to make Mahomes and Hunt so much more comfortable and effective

The Malcolm Butler market talk has been pretty quiet. Is he still going to make as much money as everybody thinks, or will he have a more difficult time getting the contract he thought he was going to get?

If Trumaine Johnson is now the actual #1 CB, where does that leave Butler?

New info.?

I’m fine with it if we can’t get someone like Richardson.

This just speculation?

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them go OG with our 2nd rounder. I’m fine with it as long as he is a day 1 starter at LG.

I have zero info on this stuff

Just my gut

I want Quinton Meeks so bad. I like him so much that I would take him at 54.

6’2” 200+ lbs
11 bench reps
6.72 3 cone
Outstanding ball skills

Get him, Veach

You're just hungry.

I wanna see the Chiefs throw the bag to Norwell and draft Dline heavy in the draft just to see you all bitch LMAO

Not sure how many will bitch about that.

Norwell is a virtual certainty to NYG, however.

Yes I am

What dentist juice you huffing today? :)

Yeah, I certainly wouldnt complain... games are won and lost in the trenches

We desperately need a huge physical specimen up front, he would not only give Mahomes more confidence, but would be an instant plus for Hunt... guys like Ehinger struggling to maintain 300 pounds isnt gonna get it done

i actually feel bad in the scenario where they make no big splash you are going to be so let down

I am still shaking my head at some of the players mentioned in this thread.
OBJ very similar to a player we just traded away for similar behavior that Hunt was not willing to pay yet we would have to make the highest paid at his position. I don't even know what would make a person think something like that would happen.
Suh is known as one of the dirtiest players in the league not to mention he is 31 years old and will demand a large payday.

I'd rather have a dirty player than a bunch of guys who sit around playing pitty pat with offensive lineman. This defense needs Suhs attitude.

OBJ is similar to Peters? When has he tried to fight coaches?
Posted via Mobile Device

Stanford guy. Maybe a Sherman Jr.? :hmmm:

OBJ has thrown several fits. OBJ cried after getting beaten by Norman. The dude tried several times to start fights with Norman. OBJ is a huge distraction on the sideline when he is not getting his way. The Hunt family will never have a player like OBJ on the Chiefs roster let alone make them the highest paid at their position when they are immature like OBJ.

Bold prediction: KC signs Sammy Watkins to 4 year $36 mil $20 mil guaranteed. I see this happening shortly after free agency opens.

I think he’d take a 1-year deal before he does that TBH. I’d love that contract though.

I’m trying to be realistic too. This is $9 mil per. He’d have to go blow up a 1 year prove it deal and he hasn’t proven it. This also sets him up to be a FA when he’s 28

Kendall Fuller just retweeted this post from Casey Hayward:

“Got to thank the @Chargers and the Spanos family for everything as well. Believing in a guy everybody said was a NICKEL guy and giving him a chance to flourish outside. 3 more years and counting. Let’s push for that ring. #Chargers”

I read that and thought Kendall must feel he is in a similar spot. Probably feels he is ready to play outside. Ironically, they’re the same exact height and Kendall weighs only 6 more lbs.

It’s not a bad deal by any means and I wouldn’t offer much more on a per year basis, but I can see Watkins taking the 1-year deal in hopes of getting more next season.

I think he’s gona do better than people think because of the market. 49ers, Bears, Ravens, Panther and Chiefs need WR

The discount window in FA doesn’t open for a few weeks. I don’t care who it is, if we sign em quickly everyone here will think we overpaid.

Can't wait for tomorrow and Wednesday to see what the Chiefs are saying. Wanna see us be proactive. Too many naive minds are saying we should "save the money for next year" and all that BS. But I say NO!!..let's spend that sh/t and build a team that can at the very least defend our AFC West title.

Remember when Carl used to basically leave on vacation about now?
