Jesus Christ chill out everyone, take a step back and breathe

Then you move along.

The days of hitting ‘bid’ until you win are over.

Set your values, make your play, make the best pitch you can and if he wants more than you think he’s worth, onto the next guy.

No more tunnel vision. Flexibility and discipline are the name of the game going forward. If the pack **** the market up for slow guys who have to be schemed into space like Landry and JuJu - move along.

Gotta be smarter than we’ve been the last few years.

Oh, okay. Thanks for being the voice of reason. CP is usually a fanbase that plays the long game. When we struggle this next season, you’ll have the last laugh because you know we’re going to roll them in 2024.

It’s almost like you can’t lose?!

And you’re a homer because everything other teams do is bad and win-now but everything the Chiefs do is brilliant and looking toward the future. There just may be a bit of truth in between.

Wtf?!?!?

When national media people are shutting on you there is a problem

Pringle a Bear

And it’s entirely possible that the Chiefs go on to have another great offseason and come out on top.

People just need to ****ing relax and let things play out.

We have Tyreek Mecole and Josh Gordon as only receivers under contract rn

Off season sucking so far. Sorry if that sounds shitty but it's TRUE. Teams are loading up in our division and we can't.

And if the worst happens and we fall back a bit, there’s still gonna be at least 3 teams that had a WAY shittier year than we did. Because they pushed their chips in and only one of thems gonna hit that inside straight…

The Chiefs run is over!!!

No disagreement and I think Veach is good enough to not panic and reach in this situation. But that doesn’t imply that the situation is a good one for this team’s development.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bears are giving former Chiefs’ WR Byron Pringle a one-year, $6 million deal, including $4 million guaranteed, per <a href="https://twitter.com/KatzBrosSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KatzBrosSports</a>.</p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1504612951818448897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 18, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Literally never said “win now” moves are bad. The point is, “win now” moves only work if you “win now”, and only one team can actually “win now” at the end of the day.

Also, never said everything the Chiefs do is brilliant.

But whatever you need to believe to support your narrative!

Ahh a voice of reason in this shitstorm of a thread.

Somebody remember to bump this thread when we win the division again.

No there is not. There is plenty of time left. Wait a while and if he hasn't done anything in a week then you can start freaking out. I'm not losing sleep over the moves these other teams have made.

If we let Pringle walk but keep D Rob then Veach needs to be fired into the sun.

My worry as that to this point in his career Veach has not demonstrated that. He HAS just hit bid until he won.

But hey, ain’t gonna say he doesn’t have a breaking ball until he proves it.

Maybe he does. We shall see.

Didn't really want a WR with a 50/50 vowel to consonant ratio anyway /after Juju signs with GB

Thanks Tillis for putting us in cap he’ll! That’s great!! We need a few mil for draft picks as well

Or not.

Pringle signing with the Bears.

If the Raiders offered me Adams and his contract for Mecole and his, I wouldn’t take the deal. Especially if we had to include a 1st rounder in a deep draft to do it.

This hurts the Chiefs more than it actually helps the Raiders. In that sense it’s actually kinda funny.

Staying the same doesn't make you better.

Veach better have a damn plan cuz rn our plan is ANDREW ****ING WYLIE!!

I said very early on when these moves started that the Chiefs shouldn’t get caught trying to compete with what everybody else is doing.

We’ve been the team making those moves the last few years, while the rest of the competition has used the draft and high picks to stack up on young talent.

Now, it’s the Chiefs that have more early round picks with a chance to stack up on young talent the next couple of years.

When they zig, you zag.

That’s has nothing to do with being a homer. It’s just being smart.

But, we have to win free agency, and sign every big name player we’ve heard of!!!!!

Packer fans will shit when they draft a Mecole Hardman to replace Adams!

That's a lot of talent heading into the division. However, I feel the coaching outside of Reid is probably pretty shitty. McDaniel? Hackett? 4th down boy?

Spoiler alert: The guy has no plan.

pringle to the bears on 1 year deal

And hey, I really thought the Raiders were going to take Wyatt with that pick and threbPack have Kenny Clark so they probably won’t (Olave seems likely though).

So this may help us with our search for an impact DL in the 1st round.

Mahomo is a 14 year old girl. It’s the only thing that makes sense.

Free Agency just started and we still have the draft… they’re not just staying the same…… ****.. what is wrong with you people :shake:

Great point.

If this allows Wyatt to fall into our lap, that’s a huge win.

Imagine being a Raiders fan and thinking that McDaniels and Carr are going to get you through Mahomes, Herbert and Wilson because you added a 30 yr old receiver and a 32 yr old DE.

Like I said, in a lot of ways this is actually pretty funny.

I’m not sure I agree with you. He’s aggressive - yes - but with the exception of the Trent Williams situation, I haven’t gotten the sense this is a guy at some live auction who isn’t putting his paddle down. And arguably as this team has evolved with the Mahomes contract coming into focus he’s been forced to sharpen his sword and be more tactical.

I think we can say that Veach - whatever his flaws - always seems to have some logical process in his plan. Whether it works out in the end or not is another question, but there’s at least some framework behind it.

They ALL have to deal with each other and us.

And they ALL have to deal with the expectations now too.

I know which team is more prepared mentally.

Veach is going kill this draft, we have 9 picks. No reason to overpay for players who won't give a crap once they sign on the dotted line. Stay patient my friends.

I would very much like to see Ingram return, however. After that I don't care.

That’s exactly how Watkins and Mathieu went. Hitchens in all probably as well as Thuney.

He has never been a ‘find the bargains in the middle tier of FA’ guy as much as a stars and scraps guy.

The former is a plenty viable approach when you have the cap space. We won’t for the foreseeable future so it’s the latter or bust going forward.

Tyreek is only a year younger than Adams too. Hopefully, Hill doesn’t lose any speed after he turns 30 or the Chiefs will be ****ed.

You been real impressed with these guys mental approach the last couple of years?

From skating through the 20 regular season to Hill admitting after the Buffalo game “we thought we was the shit” and they needed to be taken down a peg.

Focus hasn’t exactly been a strength the last little bit.

They need to recapture their ‘19 ferocity in a big way.

It hasn’t been perfect, but I don’t think these teams in the AFCW are anywhere close.

Maybe all the hype for everybody else over the next few months will get that ferocity back.

Tag/trade may be a realistic alternative at this point.

I’d hate it, but it takes two to get a deal done. And even if we can get one done, this may well do a lot to punch Jones ticket out of town next year

Poles is no dummy

Chiefs have a HOF coach, HOF QB, HOF WR, HOF TE, top 10 OL, top 5 interior rusher, very good young duo of LB’s and a very good young Safety. Pair that with a couple of young decent complimentary DB’s.

And we have the draft and some money to get a couple decent players left.

Why are we scared again?

Because people don’t have patience.

I have no doubt that we will feel much better about the offseason going into and after the draft.

Few are ‘scared’

But “iron sharpens iron” is bullshit. The Patriots won BECAUSE they had a cakewalk in the division.

Things have gotten exponentially harder and even if you still consider us the favorite, ‘the field’ has become a MUCH better bet than it was a week ago.

So... JuJu the ONLY quality WR still available? Are we gonna pull the trigger already or come up short?

Don’t worry Chiefs will sign Cordarrelle Patterson ROFL

Those two only have futures contract.

This true but we can only control us. I hate the Patriots too but this is our reality.

Ultimately the only team I truly feel is possibly better than us is Buffalo.

What this shows so far is my concern that Veach is going to trade our first rd pick again and I really don’t want him doing that anymore

Yes, of course. Because the bar couldn't be any lower. Of course we'll feel better once we have some of sense of what pieces we've plugged in to fill the many holes we still have. There will be draft prospects CP is all aflutter over and I have no doubt Veach will make one more decent outlay we'll all be excited about and some cost conscious signings that we'll all deem wise.

But none of that changes the fact that the gap wasn't as wide as many here like to think (we were VERY close to going 3-3 in the division) and it's clearly narrowed meaningfully almost irrespective of what we do from here. That's the unfortunate part about all of this.

I'm so much more unhappy because of what our competitors have done than what Veach hasn't done.

But patient? I'm not running around and saying we're doomed. But I also couldn't have scripted the offseason to be in worse shape at this point.

Yikes, I just looked at the WR FA list and I'm not sure there's a single name I'd be excited about as a WR2.

Draft or trade, Bart Varch.

Ummm I’d love to have Patterson in our offense.

I wonder what Jacksonville would take for Shenault.

Or Seattle for Lockett or DK since they aren’t getting Watson.

Yeah, no ****ing thanks.

I’d easily trade for Shenault but I’ve already made that clear.

The Raiders and Broncos losing their top picks in one of the best draft classes I can remember is a damn good opportunity for us to move ahead for now and the long term.

The draft is where you win. It’s always been that way despite the Rams SB win.

Get as many young solid players on defense and load up on the draft.

Last time I checked….only one team can win the Super Bowl. And the NFC has a cake walk right now.

I wonder if the price tag for Tyreek just went past what Veach is willing to offer.

28m aav is a ton and if Tyreek is getting signed long term, his number will be equal or higher than that due to age.

Is it time to have that conversation?

Nah.

Too fast, powerful and inexpensive.

Need to pay for Landry instead. He was better back when Shenault was in junior high.

I’ve been adamantly opposed to trading him.

But he’ll be 30 when an extension starts. He may well have gone past what I’M willing to pay him.

Don’t do this to me, DJ. Not right now.

Shenault and Kyzir. The circle jerk is going to happen.

What’s your limit?

I'm actually enjoying this. Reminds me of a game day thread. Every opponent first down is the end of the chiefs season. ��

Scared? No. Realistic? Yeah. We had all that last year and lost. Now basically every contending team in the conference has drastically improved already and we haven't.

*Note to staylor: this post is referencing what has happened so far. Things can change, I'm just posting about my thoughts on what has transpired as of 3/17 8:22pm CST*

Would you take a first and second round pick (roughly middle of each round) or pay Tyreek the same contract as Adams?

Bills and Bengals are the best teams in the conference along with us. They haven’t really done much.

Chargers and Broncos didn’t even make the playoffs. Raiders only did bc there are now 7 seeds.

We were way ahead of our division last year. Other teams got better but they are not better than us right now.

It’s still Bills, Chiefs and Bengals at the top

He just turned 28 a couple weeks ago, so the extension would start at age 29…Im just not sure extending him for 5 years would be wise and I bet that’s why the extension is taking longer than we anticipated.

There will definitely be major risk in an extension and I’m sure Tyreek wants more years and security because of that.

I’m glad I’m not the one making that call.

This is perhaps the biggest blunder. It does take two to tango, but if he was gonna work on that extension for Reek then he should have been aggressive getting it done before FA started.

Hill would have been dumb to sign a new deal before Godwin or Adams. Especially since he had to give up value last time.

You’re being unrealistic.

This will be Tyreeks last big payday. I expect him to try to get every dollar he can.

And he deserves it.

You may have to tag him a couple times if he is gonna ask crazy numbers.

I’m still bummed we didn’t sign AR. That deal was a huge bargain and missed opportunity.

That alone would have given me reason for excitement about the rest of these moves.

I hope I’m wrong.

24/yr was pushing AWFULLY hard.
