What Inquiring Minds Want to Know

How come the Kansas City Chiefs have not signed S/LB Kyzir White?

1. He wore #44 with the LA Chargers for 4 years.
2. The jersey number 44 is now available for the KC Chiefs.
3. Last year he had 144 tackles.
4. He once benched pressed 444 pounds.

I think it is a signal that we need to sign the guy right now.

I just made up #4 but I needed another 4.

Thank you for reading.

I just read that his middle name is Rasim. I like it. We should sign him.

4 years 4 mil!

Remember, Pet Carrol also said they had no intentions of trading Russell Wilson too

I think you get an extra 1st round pick for that move.

Man, the Chiefs are going to have to do extra outreach to their Chinese fans if they sign Kyzir White.

That would work! We could win 4 more Super Bowls with him.

Very quietly the Dolphins have had an excellent FA. I think the Rat’s QB friendly offense is just what Tua needs.

Buffalo might not have a cakewalk division like we think

Why would DK want to be there?

Obviously there's time but if FA is there to fill needs, we're some way off. I think the main questions are have we got better or worse and if so by how much, and has the gap narrowed to rivals and does it matter? I reckon:

S - We're younger and faster but better? - not sure. Reid from the last two years, no, but if we get the rookie version then yes. Plus if DD never plays another snap for us then basically any warm body in his place is an upgrade. So maybe we're breaking even.

WR - Is Juju better than Pringle? I don't see how the answer isn't yes. Marginally slower, sure, but his route running is much better. Like Reid if we get the most recent version, maybe it's more debateable, but it's got to be an upgrade.

CB - We're worse for losing Ward and even Hughes as a rotational player imo

LB - Like S I think Hitchens was an abomination and a liability, so I'm happy that anybody coming in improves us. The issue now is depth though.

DL - If Ingram comes back we break even. If not we're even worse at a position of dire need. Jarran Reed was horrible so the best case scenario is Nnadi gets back to his decent run-stuffing form and Saunders stays healthy and offers something. But at DE we look a mess.

Best defence of Veach is that it's hard to see where we could compete with some of the contracts handed out in positions of need. I can't see anyway we could've got a Gregory, Chandler Jones or Von Miller, and with Z Smith these are not young players without injury histories. Trade options like Hunter didn't seem that appealing either and I think we've all been burned by Clark. Then again, we're in the cap situation partly because of those past mistakes from Veach.

I think the Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Raiders and Broncos have all had more impactful FAs than we have and all have narrowed the gap. Still a good chance it's not enough for most of them, but let's not pretend that they've not made some progress against us - at this point in FA

He doesn't now. If he was asked and told the truth. He may as well force his way out.

Former Bears’ free-agent safety Deon Bush is signing with the Chiefs on a one-year deal, per his agents @DrewJRosenhaus and @NFLrecord.

Bye bye Dirty Dan

Is Mahomes getting a restructuring?

Chiefs are so damn secretive, nobody expected Thuney’s contract to be restructured either. Veach works in mysterious ways lol. We’ll always be 3 steps behind him.

Updated

Clark-restructred
Nnadi-signed new deal to stay
Reed-TBD
Ingram-TBD
Ward-TBD
Hitchens-TBD (Lee?)
Matheiu-replaced by Reid
Neimann-replaced by Lee
Hughes-TBD
Sorenson-Bush

I'd guess Bush is a Watts replacement?

I get this is usually the 2nd wave of FA, but it seems more this year that second wave is gonna wait until post draft before they start signing.

Reading about him he sounds like a Sorenson replacement:

Tall, long arms, good at the high point, not afraid to come up and hit and tackles decently well

Does he stay with his assignment for the whole length of the play???

PFF says he’s been very good overall and especially in coverage.

Sounds like a guy that’s going to end up being a very good signing from everything I’ve seen and read about him…assuming he’s healed.

If we re-sign Ingram or someone similar (Barnett, Dunlap, etc), whoever replaces Ward is likely the only downgrade. Otherwise, we’re at least as good across the board.

If we draft a couple impact DL in the first 105 picks, then I think we’re clearly better than last year and better for the future.

If we can’t sign a vet CB, then maybe a second round pick will have to work.

(Whispers)
Ky…

Kyz…

Kyzir White!

Just keeping it alive.

Just put a post number on it..

Ravens are bringing both Rasheed Green and Arden Key in for visits.

Dicks.

I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL SIGN! I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL SIGN! I BELIEVE THAT HE WILL SIGN!

KYZIR!!!!!

The real issue is roster depth.

If 100% healthy, the team isn't THAT much worse than last year on defense. Especially after draft picks come in.

But there will be injuries and when they happen there's just nothing there. And frankly, last year's defense really sucked anyway so it's not like just treading water is sufficient.

The defense is in a LOT of trouble and options are dwindling fast.

I think looking at last years building the OL, some people had expectations that just couldn't be met.

It worked out great, but other than signing Thuney, the other stuff had some luck involved.

The 2 draft picks hit better than anyone coudl have expected.

We will need that to happen on the DL this year it seems.

This post makes me conflicted.

1) You referenced a soccer chant (gross)
2) You referenced Kyzir White (sexy)

It's going to be hilarious watching Staylor shout people down this year when they say this team isn't a super bowl contender

As of right now they’re replacing and backfilling the defense. It had to be done and I can’t really think of anyone that I was screaming to sign that we missed out on.

Barnett is still out there. Kyzir is still out there. The CB group is a little thin but it was from the start of FA.

Now if this defense still looks like shit after the draft then we all have a reason to panic and scream at Veach. Right now….I’m still not worried. But I was also hoping for a youth movement…and I’m getting it.

:thumb:

Yup.

It was going to be damn near impossible to rebuild the entire defense in one offseason. People can scream about 2019….but Mahomes didn’t have a large cap hit back then.

The one guy I wanted in free agency was Ward and he's now gone. They didn't want to pay him, so be it.

Other than Ward though, they've done pretty much what was needed - replace depth and get younger.

There's still a lot of offseason left. People need to relax a little. Like O said, expectations were probably a little high after what they did with the OL last season.

Yep.

I definitely wanted Ward back and would have been fine with paying him what he got from the 49ers. Veach apparently will never pay a CB a huge contract. I’m hoping Sneed is the one guy who he does.

Cowherd says KC has the #1 offensive weapons in the league now after JuJu:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUwxFuostWM

We don't.

I think the difference was the obvious aggressiveness they had last year. We knew from Day 1 that they were going hard after Trent Williams and then later on the 1st day of FA (or the next day) they gave Thuney the biggest guard deal. So right off the bat we knew they were going hard to fix the OL. There just doesn't seem to be the same urgency when it comes to the DL. It's scary that we kind of need at least one star type year from a rookie pass rusher if we want to think about having a good year defensively.

They signed a safety day 1. I'm not sure what else they could do financially.

Jeremy Fowler’s ESPN+ Free Agency article mentions that he keeps hearing Gilmore and Bradberry tied to the Chiefs:

Bradberry would be cool Gilmore is washed

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Guys, I think Brett Veach read about my ideal <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Chiefs</a> offseason.

Veach said it himself though. They weren’t going to be players in the first week.

Last year we had a need for an offensive line and the money to spend on it. And even then…Veach rebuilt it with two draft picks, a trade, a FA and an in house player.

The defense is a little harder but I don’t think he’s done. He just didn’t see anyone in FA in that first wave that he just had to have…and we didn’t have the money anyways.

I'm fine paying Jalen Ramsey at CB. Other than that, I'm not paying. Just find the "protype" you like, keep churning it yearly.

The impact of a good corner vs an average one to me just isn't worth the cost.

Pass rush sure. Cb's? Nah.

Veach doesn’t pay CBs. I’m not sure why these network guys don’t get that.

As long as we have several competent bodies in the secondary, I’m fine with not having true stars. We just can’t trot any complete garbage out there. The great QBs will always find Jamell Fleming.

The secondary was pretty good last year despite having a terrible pass rush.

Improve the pass rush and we’ll see the defense as a whole look much better.

let go shopping

Can we please sign kyzir now. I have a sad boner id like to circle into a glad boner.

Would be hilarious if Veach said we needed to unload Hill in order to sign Kyzir

Could have restructured Mahomes and Thuney prior to FA. Wasn't that the biggest point of Mahomes contract? How flexible it would make us? If we needed $10mil to sign a player, just restructure mahomes, who cares about his cap being an extra $2mil r next 5 years? Wasn't that the big selling point? I remember multiple articles about that.

And now, not even 2 years in, we can't sign big FAs because of it and we're losing key, future hall of fame players.

Who saw this shit coming even a month ago?

Clark has spent a shit to of money the last 4 years,makes you wonder if they're kinda tapped out on big spending.

Yeah, at this rate Gracie might have to do OnlyFans to make money.

I totally forgot about Fenton. Yea we’re okay at CB

Agree depth, but also, at present, quality. My point was really where we're at at this point. Obviously a couple of slam dunks along the DL in the draft and we could be golden.

The problem we've had is the cost and quality at DE in FA. So I'm not bagging Veach entirely for holding fire right now. But if there's no-one else CP is mad keen on at DE and we're picking at 30 - tough at this point to see a sea change in the DL's fortune

I think Ronald Jones would be a very good 1-2 punch with CEH at RB. Hopefully Key or Green are on the radar now at DE whichever one makes it out of Baltimore

Cum 4 us DJ

okay now this is what im talking about. **** yessss. just please god don't over trade for the pos

Hey bitch…I was on that train too.

Well you know what u gotta do

Trading for Shenault would make this pill a lot easier to swallow, well and kyzir.

always liked rojo. that's a win if we get him. and personally i think he's been wasting away on tampa's depth chart behind like 3458t83494343 other running backs so there's real potential to be unlocked

He wasnt better than Fournette in anyway imo, but he would push Clyde for time for sure and is more dynamic than DW was for us.

Too bad Tyreek didn't want to be traded at the start of FA.

People keep saying this, but it's much more likely that Veach didn't want to pay any of those guys what they were asking. Including Robinson.

But we may have had more offers and more compensation at the better of free agency.

Veach’s off season grade so far = F

D. An F is getting no one. We did get 2 starters.

The entire offseason will be based on the draft.

But sure, let’s had our offseason grades before that even happens.

lol at offseason grades right now. Everyone is clearly emotional and rightfully so right now.

Veach is flush for the second wave of FA....you cant help but think we will be a good team after the dust flies

We have a lot of picks, only 8 of them this year are actually good tho.

He needs to hit on 3/8 for year one contributors.

lol what?

I give Andy Reid’s coaching job for the 2022-2023 season an F. 0 wins so far this season.

Mahomes has been dogshit this season too, he’s definitely regressed and we should all be concerned ROFL

Go get Cambell and Ingram!
