Oh absolutely. Patriots negotiated a trade for, errr, Welker I think it was. With the Dolphins. Not sure it was him, but you're definiteyl right that that can be done.

That's funny. I was watching him for the first time last night thinking the same thing.

Some guys with starting experience who could be pretty cheap:
EJ Manuel
Blaine Gabbert
Chad Henne

You mean someone like Chase Daniel?

Daniel got more money than I expected. $5M per was too rich for us right now I’d say.

Gabbert or Barkley would be fine with me.

Beau Allen to TB. DL really starting to thin out.

We need a NT. Wouldn’t be mad if Bennie Logan is brought back at a reasonable price.

I fully expect them to go CB or S in the 2nd round and I wouldn't be surprised if they traded up to get one.

You're missing the point.

Then what was the point?

Tell me about Daniel's cannon.

I’m all for trading up to get Jaire Alexander, Isaiah Oliver, Carlton Davis, Mike Hughes, Taven Bryan, or Justin Reid.

Me too depending on who is there. I'm going to watch Jaire tonight.

He doesn’t have one, I know. And once we signed Watkins, my interest in signing him dried up rather fast.

That's not happening without parting away with 2019 first rounder. Veach isn't going to do that.

The Chiefs are going to see more zone defenses than any other team in the NFL this year. There just aren’t many, if any teams that can even try to man up their personnel from down to down.

We’re going to see A TON of deep balls. It’s already a known fact that a cover 4 shell means Tyreek Hill is hitting his head on the goal post for six half of the time. A cover 2 shell means Mahomes uses his arm to fit the ball in the C2 holes on each sideline, or he simply tosses it over the ILBs head to Kelce who has a ton of room because the safeties have to get over Watkins and Hill. Cover 3 presents a ton of options.

I can see bringing Bray back for this reason. He has the arm to make the throws (but a nickel brain). I wouldn’t want him as the primary backup, but he’s a fine enough 3.

You know who would be a great backup QB?

Case Keenum.

I don’t know where the price will be, but I still wouldn’t mind Tre Boston.

If you nab him, you can draft DL and corner early without worrying about much else.

Morgan Burnett is the safety I see KC getting.

Boston is 25, which fits more of what Veach has been doing so far. But I like Burnett.

Getting close to 30 and will command a larger deal. I don't see it, or a FA FS.

Burnett is older but is very versatile and fits what Sutton likes to do with his safeties.

I could definitely see Veach packaging a couple picks to move up in round 2 if there's a guy he likes. It'd only be a few guys I'd bet but I wouldn't rule it out. Though I do like staying at 54 and keeping next year's 2 2s.

Maybe he'll package up the 7's or their 6th but I'd be surprised if he packaged up either of the 3's or 4's because there will be talented players on the board at that time.

They have 5 choices from the 2 to the 4th round. I think they stay where they're at and pick away. No reason they can't land at least 2-3 starters with those picks.

I'm still feeling that if the Chiefs make another bigger FA move, it'll be for DRC.

I know Settle had a bad combine, but the tape doesn’t lie. He’s still a good option in my book, especially if we don’t sign a DT.

You watching tape or highlight films?

Maybe in round 3.

BJ Hill or Hand at NT before Settle....

I disagree. I think at least one of those guys will get in the range where we can use one of our 2109 2nd’s.

Well you clearly aren’t watching tape

I hope we bring back Poe.

Hint: Count how many times Settle is on the ground during any given game. Yes he has short area explosion and is a gap penetrator. Stack and shed though? Short-armed and not great lateral agility.

Man, I kinda hope not. I'd rather sit tight and take talented players at each spot as opposed to giving up a 2nd rounder next year when they don't have a 1st rounder this year.

IMO, this year should be foundational, with next year the opportunity to really plug in some serious talent.

That’s not as shocking as seeing Phillip Gaines get paid.

Ravens are releasing WR Jeremy Maclin

Jeremy Maclin is being let go from the Ravens

Won't be a bit surprised if Maclin is back.

Honey Badger cut. KC has the need

I think we'd need to land within the first 5 slots to land a guy that's capable of being a #1 corner and it would take more than a future 2nd to go that far up.

Bring him back as a slot receiver

Good grief, no.

He done.

The #AZCardinals are releasing versatile DB Tyrann Mathieu, source said. They tried to redo his deal but it wasn’t to be. Keep an eye on the #Giants and his former defensive coordinator.

Exactly. We have Conley coming back and Robinson also Chesson.

Peppers back to Carolina. 11,sacks last year in 50 percent of snaps. Shows just how big of a joke Hali was...

Where?

Rich Scanlon

I’d prefer to sit tight, but if we don’t sign a starting corner we should definitely consider it because none of those guys are making it to 54.

Bears gave chase daniel 7M guaranteed

Ay lmao

Keenum got 18 million and he isn't any better. Denver is that dumb.

Paid by who? and how much? I dont see that anywhere.

Haven't heard shit about Junior Galette, Poe or Richardson yet.

Didn't you hear? According to QJ, Keenum is the 16th best QB in the league, so it's a good deal for the Donks

Mathieu as a slot corner at the right price could work.

He was average last year, but if you think he's signing for "the right price" you are nuts. He wants a bigger deal than he had. No thanks.

Joe Thomas retires.

Sounds like Veach is holding a press conference at 5:30.

Lets trade all our picks and sign all the brokedicks

He's got a lot to go over already. That we know about.


Hoping we get a surprise. Doubt it

He tried to negotiate a reduced salary to stay in Arizona.

This is a LOADED Cb/s draft...I’m sure he can be had for a somewhat reasonable price tag.

No ****ing thanks

Bet they have Sammy and Hitchens there.

Can Bill Polian be fired by ESPN already?

The mother****er does nothing but express antiquated senile opinions that make me wanwt to choke him.

CB Patrick Robinson to NO on a 4-year deal.

Already 31 years old in September.

Please let go of Honey Badger.

Some stats:

From 2016-2017, Mathieu played 612 coverage snaps in the slot, and was targeted 92 times. Allowed 70 catches, 742 yards, 4 TDs & 2 INTs. 104.5 QB rating, per PFF.

Oh, boy. That's ****ing horrid. I change my stance to a solid no thanks.

It's like he saw Terrance Mitchell and was like, hold my beer.

Jesus.

Wow. Woof. **** that

Man I still wish we would sign Kaepernick. Trading Peters calmed down the anthem pearl clutchers, his name has dropped out of the media cycle so a little less heat, could probably be had for an enormous discount and would be one of the best backup QBs in the league.

Yea a guy that is 5'9 is gonna struggle with the bigger WR's of today, his ACL injury hurt his speed which without I'm not sure what he has.

If you sign him you're thinking 2 years removed from that injury maybe some of his speed returns and he can become a dynamic ballhawk again.

But do you know what his name is??? /cp

Bingo

LMAO

John Dorsey just gave him $12 million. ROFL

According to Spotrac, after the Hitchens deal we have $18.4M to spend (which includes the draft pool).

Take Watkins' cap number, Sherman's, and Jenkins'... there isn't going to be much left to work with at all.

It was reported in another thread that his cap hit this year is only $3.6M. So some discrepancy going on here.

Spotrac has it down for $3.6M, so that's correct.

So David Irving got tendered as a second rounder, is there any way we could send them the 2019 second rounder we got from Washington?

Irving is only 24, and talented, so he fits the bill.

Sherman and Jenkins are around 2 million each, so 14 million without knowing Watkins

We got a third from Washington this year, a second from the Rams in 2019.

And they're going to want some extra cash left.

Knowing this, we're done I bet.

Dorsey tried stashing him on the practice squad, dumb move on his part. Could’ve had Irving and Jones at DE.
