ChiefsPlanet - Football ****Official 2022 Free Agency Megathread****

I didn't like the Tyreek Hill trade either but I am willing to wait and see what else we add.

A trade for a Cooks or Lockett would help.

If Juju is our #1 WR going into the season I will be very annoyed.

Then you might as well get annoyed now…

It’s ****ing hard guys. They aren’t gonna have a “stacked roster with no holes”. That doesn’t happen in the nfl.

Maybe they hit on these draft picks and take off. More likely than not a few hit, a few bust because that’s the way the league goes.

I’m just not into this “take a year to retool” stuff. The league changes so much year too year, there’s no “do it the right way for the long haul”. It’s to quick and violent of a game, guys break down or don’t develop etc.

The biggest thing now is the flexibility. They have that. In my opinion that’s bigger than the picks. Or atleast it adds to the picks.

Once Mahomes signed the deal there was gonna come a time where he’s gonna have to do it with young draft picks or cheap vets. You want the big money, the star skill guys and a good defense? Sorry not possible.

Well, here we are. No more vapor locks in the fourth quarter of the afc champ game that we excuse away for whatever reason.

It’s exciting and scary

Well, we didn't get it done with Hill. The 'stars and scrubs' thing got us one trophy in two tries. It's been lesser returns each season. We weren't gonna run it back this year, I mean, the team had shown that it is what it is. Time to reshuffle the deck.

yeah, it's scary. But you know, we've got Andy Reid, who never has a shit offense. We've got Veach, who's improved each offseason. And we have Mahomes. I like our chances.

And not just like...you know, in the future. I absolutely expect to contend in 2022.

We're not in nearly as bad a shape as some of you are making out.

and trading for another veteran receiver that's wanting top dollar would be negating any value in trading Hill. I mean why do that if we're just going to pay Cooks or Lockett?

it's gonna be okay, man. Let's just see what shakes out over the next month or so.

but the offense is going to look different. Just get that in your head. It's going to be different.

Doesn't mean it'll be worse. Reid never has shitty offenses. But it will be different.

And its so disingenuous to pretend that is not winning was because of a bad roster and not because of Mahomes playing like shit or because of Eric Fisher tearing his Achilles 1 game before the superbowl causing us to shuffle and **** up the line.

We could have absolutely kept competing if we focused on the defense in FA and in the draft. Because all we needed on offense was a WRs and Juju and his bargain basement deal would have worked for us.

I mean, we celebrated Mahomes contract structure because it meant we could go all in basically every year. What happened to that?

Holy shit dude, not only hasn’t the season started yet.... we haven’t even made it to the draft yet. Pipe down.

Well, Veach said we have big needs at DE and CB. We have done what there? Nothing. Our division has loaded up and we have not. I realize the draft is coming but we can't just play rookies and expect the impossible.

Go back and listen to what Brent Voigt said when he extended Patrick. He said then that he understood how it was gonna affect the cap, and he knew and had a plan for how to handle the contract of Patrick ( the greatest player this league has ever seen) Mahomes, and keeping the roster fresh to continue to be competing for championships. We have the best quarterback in the league, a top 2 coach in the league, a great young OL who’s mostly playing on rookie contracts, and a HOF TE, and that’s just the core. Andy has made a living off making playoffs and winning games with the likes of Kolb, Alex Smith, and McNabb. He has the best weapon at quarterback he’s ever had. This offense is gonna be very different this season, and all the tricks and schemes that worked well against our offense isn’t gonna work anymore. We’re gonna have teams on their heels coming out of the gate, cuz for the last 3 years they knew what to expect, and they drafted and signed players to stop this players and that offense. They’re not ready for what’s about to be unleashed, and it’s gonna be ****ing glorious!!

I am confident that Jameson Williams is our #1 next season. Say what you want about lack of production from KC WRs in their rookie season. The guy is special.

I understand that. We're still looking toward a reset season. Our team will be extremely young and will likely be making a lot of rookie mistakes so I'm not going to have my expectations too high. That doesn't mean that they won't be good or that this year will be a waste. Just that we should expect growing pains.

Way too many Veach and Reid apologists here. No doubt this team is in the most competitive era it has been in under this regime, but they are not without their warts. The Britt Reid fiasco cost them a second consecutive Super Bowl in my opinion, and that second half of the Bengals game was pure meltdown. The Frank Clark deal along with the Edwards-Helaire selection are not looking good years later and the voids on the defense currently with no veteran presence at certain levels of the defence are very concerning. The draft won’t solve all issues for this team and I am shocked Veach has not done more to at least insulate some positions with veteran additions. I hope there are no desperation moves ahead burning draft capital to get a big ticket name that robs the team of future cap management and the ability to replenish. One would feel better about such a move if the overall depth of the team was better, but there are so many needs right now.
