That was Jarvis Jenkins, but point stands.

I like Curry. Very workmanlike, high motor player. He could be Hali-lite, with more tread on the tires. Excellent teammate.

2 big concerns:
- better suited as a 4-3 End
- will likely command between $6-8 million in salary and is a bit long in the tooth.

Yeah he was awful

wasnt his best pass rushing year when he was a 3-4 DE?

How bout Suh, Vaccaro and Eifert?

Just resign Bennie Logan already. And I don't like the state of our CB group. I am ok with the safeties as Berry and Murray plus a draft pick as backup should be good enough.

CB EJ Gaines will visit the Cardinals today, source says. Arizona has a need at corner opposite Patrick Peterson. Gaines played good ball for the Bills last year.

Dont feel bad, you're not the only one who forgot about him

It'd definitely be nice if he had a monster camp and cemented himself as a starter, but I wouldnt hold my breath... dude went undrafted, and has bounced around the league quite a bit in a very short time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin...ensive_lineman)

Breeland wouldn’t be a bad pickup at corner

LMAO

What the **** was Seattle doing to this poor ****ing kid in 2015?

He has foot AIDS.

Kind of looks like us and Spiller.

He’d be cheap

He will room with CJ Spiller at camp in a tent trailer.

LMAO WTF?

That's just cruel.

I’m told the #Cowboys have informed CB Orlando Scandrick he will be released, per source.

Titans told NT Sylvester Williams they are releasing him today. He's content with the move. "I believe in myself. My best football is ahead of me."

Williams is a somewhat intriguing option if he’s very cheap.

Good another option at NT

Meh.

Maybe a bit old for Veach' taste at 29, but I'd be interested in the former first rounder

Do you want the 2-down NT or not? That’s what you said all last night.

It’s not getting much better than he or Logan unless you draft someone which was my preference all along.

That looks more like a major **** up by LDT, not a great play by Williams. What the **** was he doing there?

He just wants to bitch about Sutton.

If the price is right, sure.

I’m in agreement there, don’t want to pay more than a couple million.

Titans released DT Sylvester Williams.

Williams signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal last March. He was due a $2.5 million roster bonus coming off a middling first season in Tennessee, so the Titans are moving on. Releasing Williams saves just over $3 million in cap space. Williams should resurface as a nose tackle in 3-4 schemes.

I would call his agent if Veach thinks Hamilton isn’t the answer at NT. No idea what the staff thinks of the position right now.

Looks like they are looking for a DE tho judging by their interest in Wilkerson

Vinny Curry would be nice.

Veach is going to trade for someone on defense between now and August. I’d love to know who, but I’m confident in it happening.

Dude. Quit doing this.

You don’t think he will?

Did you listen to his press conference Wednesday?

For sure. For the right player, which would be ideally a CB or DL in his 2nd or 3rd year of his rookie contract, he should absolutely trade that Rams' 2nd round pick in 2019.

Do t wait til August to do it

Do it now and get him in here

What?

Curry would be an OLBer in a 3-4 scheme and he’ll be 30 soon.

I doubt that at 280 lbs.

Looks like Suhs gonna be a titan or a Saint...probably a titan.

:facepalm:

Tamba was 275 pounds during his prime.

Plus, Curry is listed at 266, not 280.

JFC.

One year into a three-year, $27M deal, the Colts have released DT Johnathan Hankins.

Crazy how many players are getting released so early in new deals this offseason

Good player at DE and only 25, could he be a NT?

Go get him Veach. Hankins would be a good signing for this DL.

Yes.

Yes Hankins yes do it

2 year deal, $10 million tops.

The Chiefs can't invest a bunch of cap space or draft capital in a 2 down player, which is exactly what Veach is avoiding in trading for Ragland and signing Hitchens.

Hankins is the best available guy. Don’t know if we can give him the money he might want though.

there are plenty of guys out there to improve the DLine. I have faith that mr Veach will get it done, and before the draft even.

This move also shows how badly Ballard has ****ed up in the past year.

He was definitely not "the guy" and apparently, Clark Hunt knew it (or got lucky).

With how much this offense is going to score, 2 down run stuffers have little value.

I'm a fan of Veach.

Slam me if you want because I was a fan of Dorsey as well so...

They don't need superstars, just guys that are available and can be average.

Chris Jones is a monster when healthy and with Hitchens, Houston and a 100% healthy Reggie Ragland, the defense will be be drastically improved (not to mention, a healthy Eric Berry).

Exactly

Hankins with an 85.0 grade last year, 20th amongst D-Linemen. He will be paid beyond what we can afford.

KC needs a disrupting NT. That’s ideal. Pass rush pass rush pass rush. This offense is gona score a lot. Let Houston and co. tee off.

True but it wouldn’t hurt to pick up a good NT if we can affordably.

If this defense becomes legitimately good against the run, teams can’t even try to slow the game down like they inevitably will against the offense.

Can’t embed...

Hennes deal

Former #Jaguars backup QB Chad Henne, who visited #Titans, signed w/ #Chiefs for 2 years, $6.7M, not incl performance incentives & escalators, per source. $3.1M signing bonus, $1.015 base in 2018, $2.5M base ($1M gtd) in 2019, plus workout bonuses. Essentially 1-year, $5.15M gtd.

If you can't stop the run, then you aren't going to get the opportunities to score all the points you think this offense is going to score.

Hankins and Logan have comparable numbers. Hankins is younger.
Might end up being whoever comes cheaper.

And pass on Sylvester Williams. No pass rush upside and nearing 30.

Then why was he cut?

The Colts defense was pretty awful and they have $65 million in cap space.

Eh, they’re ****ed if Henne has to play anyways so I’m good with this

They’re switching their scheme according to Rapoport.

Might be that that they don't think he's a scheme fit, switching from a 34 base to a 43.

Hitchens and a healthy Ragland are a huge upgrade overall.

The Chiefs don't need to break the bank again on a 2 down NT, they just need an adequate run stuffer at NT, IMO.

IIRC, he a 4-3 DT with the Giants under Spags.

They couldn't afford him and had to let him walk.

I don't disagree with any of this.

I just disagree with the premise that 2 down run stuffers have little or no value.

Oh, I guess I wouldn't say "little" but I don't believe that the Chiefs should be paying a guy $8-10 million per for 2 downs, nor should they spend a Day 2 pick on an NT.

They have pressing needs at Safety and Cornerback and at this point, DE should be a concern as well considering Bailey's been injured the past two seasons and Chris Jones has had two knee surgeries in the last 9 months.

I still say Veach has one more splash up his sleeve. Is it a trade for young veteran? Not likely. Is it a bold move up into round one to get a Vea, Payne, Derwin James, Jaire Alexander? I think so.

Then it makes no sense.

He had a solid, albeit unspectacular, year last season.

I still say go get Suh if you can make it work...

Right. I don't get what Ballard's doing up there in Indy.

Last 2 playoff games should tell us as much.

On one hand, KC could use his toughness and tenacity. On the other, he’s a ****ing dickhead and cares only about money.

That trade with the Jets was the first good thing I can remember him doing in Indy.

Once we fix the D (NOT this year for sure) this will all be over.

Alexander Hamilton

I agree with you.

Im not about spending a bunch on the D Line. There are serviceable players already on the roster, but the team could stand to upgrade at the position.

My biggest worry on the defense right now is the CB spot, and the safety opposite Berry. Perhaps the team believes in McQuay. We dont get to see these guys in practice like the coaching staff does every day so we are always left to wonder how guys like McQuay and Kpass are doing.

Yep, that's why I've been adamant about taking a Safety in the 2nd round and a CB in the 3rd since the season ended.

The Chiefs should be able to get a nice rotational D-lineman in the 3rd round.

Seems like Hankins has some ability to rush the passer as well. Utilizing him like we did Logan last year wouldn't be a bad idea, if we could get him.
