Going to be some pains along the way like every offseason but I love that haters want to write the Chiefs off after their Super Bowl sugar high.

You take a look at the offense, position by position, Veach barely has to lift a finger to improve that group. After putting in work, he may just improve it by a lot.

QB = wash, but I believe we get locked in Mahomes next yr
RB = will be improved
WR = it's improved by default if Rice comes back the same guy
OL = LT upgrade is almost a certainty

Only TE stands to get worse, and if Kelce comes back, I'd argue it will get better by a function of Mahomes not forcing 120 throws to the old guy again.

Defense looks ripe to take a step back, but how far? Remains to be seen.

Point being, you mix it all up and yeah, they're going to be a different looking team that's still got a great shot to win 12+ games.

We need a combine/draft prospect(s) thread.

we have a whole forum for it.

There was a 3rd guy who started the GDT...not sure who it was.

I think DaFace started one with Nut's account and combined them all to try to put the whole annoying mess behind us.

I don't think we'd bring Reid back with Hicks waiting in the wings, and honestly, I think it's going to be an improvement.

I wouldn't bring Smith back if he wants the bag that's been talked about. He's simply not THAT good. I'd give him the 11 per that Cesar Ruiz was extended for but we all know that will definitely not happen. Just let him walk. Think that we signed Thuney for 16 per and then imagine paying Smith 20+... Illogical, even with time value of money factored in.

I do think we'll offer Omenihu a fair deal and I do think we'll offer Bolton more than a fair deal. Whether or not they take it is another story. I won't be sad if both end up walking.

I've been vocal about wanting KC to get more athletic at LB and I think there are better options than Omenihu out there if he starts getting up there in dollars.

Does it really matter who started the GDT? That is stupid superstation! The fact is that we won the first matchup and they won the second one - shit happens :thumb: We still went to the SB 5 times in the last 6 years. I will take winning 3 and losing 2 ALL DAY LONG! :thumb:
On to the 2025 season please! Nothing to see here.

So is it safe to assume by now there will be zero change on the offensive coaching staff?

Unfortunately... I really hoped Reid would replace Heck and possibly Bleymaier. No dice.

Hiring Orr seems to indicate to me that Rod Wilson will move into D'Alesio's spot coaching Safeties (he was a DB coach before moving to OLBs).

House has done it all defensively at one point or another. Getting him back in-house with his current role sure seems like a potential move to groom him as a future NFL DC but who knows. He'll definitely be involved with LBs and game planning.

Though there's no way in hell it happens under Any Reid, I'd love for the Chiefs to shift to a run heavy offense, utilizing a pair of explosive RB's.

I wouldn't be mad if they drafted 2 RB's. One early and one late. The depth of this class insane. Give me a Hampton or Henderson early and a LeQuint Allen late on Day 3 and let me bludgeon defenses en route to a 4th consecutive Super Bowl appearance.

Postseason losses are turning this fanbase into a bunch of idiots, again. ROFL

Neuter the greatest asset in league history because of one game. ROFLROFLROFL

We don’t need to shift to a run first offense.

Mahomes just needs some frickin blocking.

Relax numbnuts. It's nothing to do with one game or ANY game for that matter. More so just something I'd like to see that would never happen for obvious reasons.

They're going to have to do something with Jawaan Taylor. His cap # next year is fourth highest on the team at $27,391,666. That's about 10% of the team cap. He's vastly overpaid but I don't think cutting him is the answer. A restructure seems like the best outcome considering the dead money & other o-line issues.

The most obvious reason being it's dumb. It isn't 1995 and we have Patrick Mahomes.
