Smith AND Ingram or is it Smith or Ingram?

I think it's Smith OR Ingram. That's the way I read it.

so far veach has attacked free agency like an absolute killer. just really good precision and efficiency in getting the right guys and things done.

we are slowly setting up to avoid an ugly reach in the draft.

Honestly, if you're going to do this, I'd rather they commit to 2-3 years with some outs to protect yourself instead of just one.

If he does what you're hoping he does, then his rate goes up 50%+ and you're bidding against other teams, while also trying to pay Tyreek.

Ultimately, here's what I like - dude catches the balls thrown to him, plays physical and (hopefully) can take some attention away from 10/87.

What I don't - (and likely why he was only given 1 year) who the **** are we actually getting? Dude's career has been all over the place statistically - and you can't blame Ben when the other WR's there have produced.

I'm sure the usual suspects will try to twist this all up - but whatever. He's a warm body at a position of desperate need. If he plays like 2018 JJSS, he'll be a fan favorite but it's going to be a challenge to retain him. If he doesn't, we're only out $10M. Just a weird spot.

Did he say when were signing Metcalf? Any day now right

Really want Dunlap for a year dude is pretty damn consistent

Honestly....Hill is probably getting his new contract. Don't know what the cost but I'd say the odds of him getting one are probably good.

What this does is allow us to draft a WR and not expect him to step in day one and light up the NFL. Juju is gone after this season and we replace him with the rookie. I would expect Hardman to be gone as well.

I'd be okay with that.

I agree. You could pencil him in for 6-9 sacks

uh, i think you got your guys mixed up

Tape him together with Frank Clark and we have our 12 sack guy!

Maybe the refs will let us play 12 players on defense to compensate for Clark’s pay!

Part of the reason I think 1 year is a mistake - man, Kelce can't play forever. I'm not saying they should have signed JJSS to a 6 year deal, but if you believe in the dude, control his rights for 2-3 years.

This team seriously needs to start transitioning from a TE-centric offense to a WR-centric offense, IMO. WR's typically take 3 years to break out, especially those drafted where we're picking in rounds.

We weren't drafting in a position to acquire a day-one WR starter anyway - JJSS doesn't change that.

The KC Star pimping Jeff Chadiha in a collaboration of epic click bait whores.

What a load if garbage ROFL the man got more sacks than Clark and Ingram COMBINED and this fool is calling him a "broke dick"?? Smh you're clueless :harumph:

Juju might just want a one year deal. He wasn’t able to prove himself his last year.

This is where I'm at. Everyone is pissed Veach didn't get something longer done but I'd say odds are high JuJu wasn't even interested in one. He came here because he knew it was his best shot of getting the stats needed to get a REAL payday.

JuJu is a guy that never got that big 2nd contract, so of course he’s going to sign 1 year prove it deals while he’s still young. He’s betting on himself.

With Juju and Mecole in a contract year I hope they give us some good play.

Agree, yet some reruns are bitching like Santa gave them a lump of coal on Xmas.

I’m surprised Matthieu hasn’t signed anywhere. I thought he’d go quick

He must want too much money.

I still think there’s a chance he comes back to KC on a 1 year deal.

Veach never made an offer, but he did talk with Tyranns agent at the combine and that’s when tweets happened saying Tyrann would hit FA. I’d be willing to bet the number Veach had in his head for Tyrann at that time is similar to the amount of interest he’s gotten elsewhere.

I’d be happy with him back on a 1-2 year deal for 5-7m base and a lot of incentives.

Anyone read Drew Lock's statement after being traded to SEA? 'Best fans and loudest stadium in the NFL' he wrote. C'mon man...

That would be a disaster

Agree

Well yeah….obviously.

:Lin:

Trade Hill? Why would we do that? We couldn't draft or get back another better than him just cheaper.

It’s almost like CP was talking about this the night before the Star runs with it.

Jim Miller and Pat Kerwin do Moving the Chains.

Because defenses are being built smaller and quicker to defend the fast, explosive teams. Those smaller defenders are making business decisions after being punished by the bigger backs. And they had some stats to back up the discussion.

Bears signed DE Al-Quadin Muhammad, formerly of the Colts, to a two-year, $10 million contract.

Muhammad, 27 later this month, heads to Chicago to reunite with ex-DC and new coach Matt Eberflus. The former sixth-round pick started all 17 games for the Colts last season, playing a career-high 73% of the snaps, and registered a career-best six sacks. Muhammad will help replace Khalil Mack off the edge for the Bears.

Not bad at all when you remove the fluff. These will be numbers Veach and Tyreek agent negotiate around.

They still have plenty of picks and got to keep all of their young talent. I'd have done it too. It's the salary that's bizzaro to me.

Maybe they’ll get a first rounder back by trading Baker?

Well, that is relieving. Makes negotiations with Hill much more reasonable and keeps them in line with what reasonable territory sounded like before the contract was announced.

Oh well then nevermind!

Would def prefer him in the NFC though!

For some reason I feel like he will end up in our division…

ESPN's Todd McShay Mock 3/19/22

30. Kansas City Chiefs
Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

Kansas City allowed 5.9 yards per play in 2021 (30th) and 7.3 yards per pass attempt (24th), and safety Tyrann Mathieu is a free agent. Pass rush, wide receiver and offensive line are all units that could use another contributor, but this one just made too much sense. Hill is a fast riser after a great combine showing (4.38-second 40-yard dash), and he's a rangy defensive back with versatility. He has the free safety traits to match slot receivers in man coverage and the physicality to support the run like a strong safety. Hill would help contain the vertical passing games of division-mates Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson.

Also noteworthy he has ATL trading back into the 1st ahead of us with MIA...

MOCK TRADE: Atlanta jumps for another first-round pick
With four picks left in Round 1, only two quarterbacks have been selected. That means teams could be eyeing a move to grab one and secure the fifth-year option as they develop him. The Falcons -- who drafted receiver Drake London earlier -- take the leap here, sending one of their second-rounders (No. 43), a third-rounder and a fifth-rounder to the Dolphins for the No. 29 slot. Miami, which originally acquired this pick from the 49ers as part of last year's trade involving San Francisco's eventual selection of Trey Lance, can still find offensive line help early in the second round. Look for the Dolphins to consider Central Michigan's Bernhard Raimann or Washington State's Abraham Lucas on Day 2. As for Atlanta ...


29. Atlanta Falcons (via mock trade with MIA/SF)
Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss

Quarterback Matt Ryan has two years left on his deal, but the Falcons could get out of his contract with a much lighter dead-cap hit next offseason ($15.6 million). In the meantime, why not draft a quarterback with upside and let him learn from Ryan for a full season? Corral didn't workout at the combine as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained in Ole Miss' bowl game, but he brings a quick release, a good arm and plenty of mobility to the table. Atlanta's passing game needs a total revamp, and this pick could be a home run if Corral takes the next step under Ryan's tutelage.

I feel like the rest of FA for the Chiefs now is shoring up some holes and going into the draft being able to add talent at whatever position it falls to you.

Add on one year deals:
Kyle Fuller
Calais Campbell
Carlos Dunlap

Hardly exciting, but you're hoping most of the talent now comes from the higher picks in the draft?

Would we be willing to trade down from #30 with ATL for a 2nd, 3rd, and 5th?

Ojabo tore his Achilles at his pro day. Assuming he falls, what round would you be comfortable taking him?

I don't understand what you're asking

Now I get you! depends exactly how the board falls, but I would trade back for those picks pretty sure.

Don't think I can at that point. He was already a raw prospect being drafted high based on his incredible athleticism, who needed development. Now that development gets put on hold for all of this year? Rough.

He would have to fall to round 4 or later for me to pull the trigger for KC, and I doubt that these teams rebuilding, with huge numbers of picks, let that happen.

A safety in the 1st? Thats stupid as hell considering our DL bullshit.

Agreed. If D Wyatt and J Williams are gone I'd be inclined to take this offer.

Same, but I'd take him in the 2nd.

You take Ojabo no later than the 2nd round. These athletes are coming back faster from these big injuries.

1st RD Wyatt
2nd RD Ojabo

Wouldn't hate it.

I just don't think it's wise or really in line with where the Chiefs are to take a guy in round 2 you know you're getting absolutely nothing from this year (best-case, he can practice in December, I guess) in a really deep draft.

Especially when that guy was ALREADY raw and in need of development.

I agree with you I wouldn't love it in the 2nd, but I wouldn't hate it - with Mahomes I am always thinking long term dynasty builidng at this point, so him missing a year not as much of a concern for me.

3rd onwards would feel like a steal, but no way he lasts that long, wouldn't be surprised if someone takes in the first.

Welp, might as well sign Melvin Ingram and draft 2 edge rushers.

This pretty much locks edge rusher in with one of our first 2 picks, and likely in the 1st.

I wonder if ZaDarius is obtainable... the kind of money he almost signed with the Ravens for would be a pretty good deal

The problem is….is why did he back out of that deal? If it was because of money then he won’t be signing with us. If it was because of contract language…then maybe.

I think that’s a great plan but I would also entertain Lorenzo Carter on top of that.

I would take Ojabo in the second. He will be back practicing in six months. It’s hard to find premium talent at this pass rusher when you’re always picking late.
