This almost certainly makes us better in the future and if we're lucky we may even be better next year (that'll be tough). Either way, we will look very different. |
Quote:
It comes down to usage. I'm a believer in toolbox approach at RB so just get me 4 cheap guys. |
Quote:
Granted, you'd have liked to have seen that in 2020 but it's just hard to overstate how badly the Clark/Hitchens stuff tied our hands. And throwing money at Watkins that off-season stung a fair amount as well. 2021 was an excellent off-season but we're feeling the sting from 2020 and the cap maneuvers that those failures required in 2021 to get that OL fixed. |

We couldn't do that last year. Teams could tell from the RB we had on the field what we intended to do. That or they just didn't care if we went against scheme because someone like CEH just couldn't run that outside zone. We need a lot more versatility in the RB Room than what we've got... |

Za’Darius Smith looked pretty good coming back from his injury in the playoffs. Had a sack, TFL and additional QB hit
|
Remember guys, Clay said we are getting Metcalf!!

Quote:
There are 2nd tier older one-dimensional pass-rushers who slip into the 2nd wave of FA and sign for reasonable figures every year. And don't get me wrong, it's harder to do it this way. But it's the only real alternative we have. Still chaps my ass that we don't have Hendrickson. Man the Bengals stole that guy last season. |
Quote:
But if we sign him to a 2-year deal that's voidable after 1, that's quite reasonable. |
Quote:
If we have 2 Ingram’s, and a young rookie pass rusher with upside, this defense would’ve been really ****ing good. |
Quote:
|
Pass rush is a great place to bargain shop. Go get 3 or 4 guys for the price of 1, rotate them thru.

AJ Bouye released
|
Bengals, Chargers and Bills going to go all in with cheap years left on their QB contracts.
|
Damn I forgot about we are getting Metcalf :)
|
Quote:
|
I'd take Bouye at the right price although he's probably going to get more than he's worth given the CB market right now.
|
It's been pretty quiet when it comes to Ward.
|
Bills aren't going to go all in. They will be conservative.

While I hate burning one of Kelces last remaining premier seasons, the Chiefs may be wise to treat this season as a re-set and get back on the same 'team building' footing as those squads. We've just been pushing awfully hard every year and when you spend that much time at/near the redline, things start to shake apart. We can either blow the motor or take a beat and have the thing serviced. If ending up back in the pack WITH those teams (which, make no mistake, is still where we'd be even with nominal FA additions) helps us get back AHEAD of those teams by 2023, it's worth doing. |
What about Randy Gregory?

Quote:
I don't see Veach making a ton of big moves at all. This team needs young, cost controlled talent and depth over everything else. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
And if you wait too long, that thud at the bottom's gonna leave a mark. Maybe Veach can pull it off, but this is going to get harder and harder every single year if he keeps approaching it this way. The last thing I want to see is a complete implosion that costs us 3 years of Mahomes prime when we could've stepped back earlier at the cost of 1. |

Sacrificing one year of Kelce vs. three years of Mahomes The answer is obvious. |

There's a good argument to be made that he wasn't a starting caliber player at 28 yrs old. He'll be 31 next season. I don't think he plays more than 4-6 games next year and probably doesn't finish the season on a roster. |
Quote:
Apparently it IS possible to stop once you pop |
**** Bouye. Just go sign Gladney.
|
Quote:
And then there's just basic combined probabilities at work. I think you're better served with more bites at the apple than you are a couple larger ones in the beginning. |
Quote:
The draft will always be key and he’s done a great job there recently. We just need to avoid 2018 drafts that yield little to no return |
Quote:
No, we have a team that can win it all now. You can't play for 2025 when with a few right moves now we can win the next 2. Last year should have been ours but we just didn't have enough juice. You won't have Kelce Hill playing at this level 3 years from now. Time is now. If we win 1 or 2 more championships now we can reset after. |
Quote:
|
With the amount of money about to flow into the league and how the cap is just going to keep going up, **** slowing down. Just keep pushing.

I know he had production last year, but I’ve never once watched that dude play and said to myself, “Hey, he’s a pretty good RB!” Like… why the hell would they do this? |

We are OVER the cap at the moment. We should hear about the Chiefs clearing some cap space before we can sign anyone...
|
Quote:
|
I think you pull the bandaid on Clark, but with what they have behind him, it may be something you just have to do to hedge.
|
Quote:
Have you played with what the math looks like if you do max restructures year after year, and then just do a new deal at age 32? You end up with a big bonus proration in that age 32 season (that starts to drop thereafter), but it's workable for sure, and I think that's the plan for him. |

The last 2 Super Bowls won by teams that pushed all chips in.
Rams and Bucs. Our 2019 was pretty aggressive too adding Clark and Mathieu to ensure enough defense to go with our offense. Screw 2nd or 3rd place. |

Multiple teams not interested in Ben Neiman

Can't wait for Frank Clark to lose against third string OTs repeatedly next season while he makes almost $20 million.
Just cut your ****ing losses and move on. |

Quote:

You guys know we’re keeping Clark bc of Spags right?
|
And **** a restructure. Make his worthless ass take a pay cut.
|
Quote:

Steelers sign Trubisky
|
Quote:
It’s a REALLY bad omen even if he’s willing to come back for a veterans minimum salary. He needs to go. He’s part of the problem. |
Quote:
The price will be paid after he's retired lol |
Yeah, last year we should have cut Hitchens and used his $$$ on vet pass rush but...loyalty to a guy who wasn't good.
|
Quote:
|
You guys need to calm down.
Think about Frank Clark and his personality. The Chiefs have ALL the leverage here. Do you really think he's going to cave and take a massive pay cut? If he comes back, it's going to be at a significantly reduced price tag. And that's IF he comes back. Read the tweets - they have to agree and so far, they're not close. |
Quote:
People need to just chill and relax a bit. |
Frank Clark ain't coming back y'all

Quote:
This isn’t even a Justin Houston situation where you go, “Well, he’s fine, but not at that cap number. We need to reduce it or just cut him.” Clark isn’t fine. He just sucks. He ****ing sucks. I wouldn’t want him back even if he played for free. Because every time he’s on the field, nothing happens. He doesn’t do anything. He can’t get jack shit for pressure even against the shitty backups he plays. |

Could they restructure it way down? Like 4-5 million salary? Not sure how this works? |

Keeping him was a mistake. As was restructuring Watkins and even discussing a restructure with Clark. These coaches pets are becoming an issue. |
