If Veach signs a guy in the next week, then West is probably on thin ice but I doubt it happens because they're going to take a Dead Cap hit AND need to sign someone else that can learn the offense but more importantly, the protections, quickly.

I think that if the Chiefs were truly concerned that West is chronically injured, they wouldn't have waited until camp to address those concerns.

And I'd think he'd go on IR rather than being outright cut because this year, teams can bring back 2 players off of IR.

Hoping he has enough value to get something for him.

Actually, Alex played only 14.5 games last season so it's about the same.

Both sucked.

“Eligwe is a linebacker,” Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub said via quotes from the Chiefs. “No question. I have already got him started on punting, so that says a lot about him. I really see a bright future for him. He may not be with me for a long time because he may be on defense because he is that good."

“I think he is going to be a really good player,” Sutton said. “Since he has been in here, he’s worked really hard at it, diligently. He studies hard. He loves to play. I think he has a physical presence in there. He studies. He knows the game. He is just going to get better and better. I think he has a bright future.”

I've never heard the coaching staff praise a late round pick like this, and this early. Sounds like they love Eligwe and have high expectations.

It wasn't remotely the same offensive situation. Chiefs fans weren't down on Trent Green after 2005.

Toub said much the same about Tyreek Hill. Compared him to Devin Hester, and low and behold, by his second year, they want him off KR duty, because he is too valuable as a WR1. I honestly think he's going to be a top 5 WR sooner than later.

That's awesome to hear.

It would be great if he could be good this year.

You're right, I guess I should've specified outside of ST's.

Hopefully Eligwe is a huge hit like Hill was :D
