****.

I just don’t know what we can do besides Robinson.

$20M AAV is nothing for a left tackle like him. Damn.

Can we get Robinson for $15-18m?

Robinson I guess or re-sign Humphries and hope he off-season helps

The Chiefs will trade for Charles Cross. Probably “overpay”, but at this point even 2 firsts and a huge new deal would be well worth it. The Seahawks are in rebuild mode.

**** THAT FAT INJURED PIECE OF SHIT ANYWAY

Oh boy.

Cam Robinson or Dan Moore it is.

Seattle isn’t trading their 24 year old LT with two years of contract control left.

Y’all better start working toward the fifth stage of grief regarding Humphries.

Well, if a Cross deal was being discussed with Seattle, the price just went up.

We desperate.

Jedrick Wills time?

JUST SKIP TO 2026 WE ARE ****ED

WONT EVEN SNIFF THE PLAYOFFS

SHOULD HAVE KEPT AXL SMITH

WHERE ART THOU ROMEO

WBF

Dry your pussies. It was never happening, he’s old, he’s always hurt and we never wanted his bitch made ass anyway.

I tend to agree but as a 10 win team that has no cap concerns, they just traded their starting QB and are looking to deal their 27 year old stud WR.

Who knows WTF they're thinking out there.

I mean, I guess the Dolphins did the Tunsil trade once upon a time, and I think Tunsil was still on his rookie contract?

Just still makes zero sense to me. You can still tank pretty hard and keep your franchise LT. Just ask Joe Thomas.

I think this is a blessing in disguise. Never wanted him. He is always ****ing hurt

Also he’s a GIANT piece of SHIT!!!

Don't know why you guys wanted that horrid piece of shit anyway.

Yea, now is when everybody freaks out like the Chiefs are us and didn't know this was a good possibility. All this means is, Stanley probably isn't/wasn't the plan.

It's colossally stupid to trade a franchise LT during a rebuild.

My cousin is a detective in Texas and he told me it was Ronnie Stanley choking out Worthy’s girlfriend and Worthy was trying to stop it!!!

Is there a legit news source to confirm this, or is it fan fiction made out of hope and dreams?

Clay posted it at 11:59 last night

Stanley's agents got the leverage they needed to get a few more dollars for their guy....I doubt there was ever any real chance he wanted to leave in free agency...but still got the money he wanted.

Now what would be hilarious is if he ends up only playing half the season due to nagging injuries.

Nate Athan wrong again.

That’s a crazy depressed figure for Stanley. I think he could have gotten 25 percent more on the open market.

I'd have preferred he hit the market just to distract the Patriots.

But I really didn't love the idea. And he's smart to stay in Baltimore.

Yep. Not often you see a guy take the hometown discount, I honestly think he could have got $24-25M per from New England.

Ha! You're right.

He's really damn bad and people still forward his 'reporting' like it has any value whatsoever.

The best thing I could possibly say about him at this point is that he's being lied to but even that's not exactly a feather in his cap

So now, we have to hope that NE isn't targeting whoever WE are targeting.

Or find one of the rare NFL players that cares more about winning than money.

It’s gotta be Cam. Just has to be right? You don’t tag Trey and trade Thuney to just go out and draft another project.

It kind of pisses me off that the Chargers had a guy fall into their laps with the ability to be a top 3 LT in this league, and they drafted and moved him to ****ing RT.

You can say "LT and RT are far more equal these days" all you want, but I still see inferior players like Andrew Wylie get turned into serviceable RTs all the time. You never see that shit out of LTs.

He's a broke dick anyways

The best we can hope for is what we have been doing the last few years.


Find a temporary bandaid that can make it through the year.

Doesn't have to be.

There's no telling how they value these guys. for all we know, the plan ALL ALONG was to give DJ a shot fully healthy and sign/draft competition.

Good, didn't wanna break the bank for him anyway

I see this off-season is going well.

I've been dismissive when it comes to Dan Moore Jr., but I read some encouraging things about his development. Apparently he's gotten better every single year, despite being pretty average in 2024. I saw some Steelers media guys speculating that he will go somewhere else and play better too, because apparently there's a pattern of that with their OL.

I saw he gave up a lot of sacks last year, but his passing grade isn't really that bad. I'm guessing many of those sacks were due to Russ. He also doesn't get penalized much.

Might be a low key solid option.

****ing wretched if that's what they end up doing.

The other thing?

Coaching and scheme matter.

Dan Moore was pretty "Meh" in Pittsburgh. does KC see some things that would make him a better fit here? Coaching points to improve his play?

Just using him as an example, but same concept with draft "busts".

Some guys just fit better in other positions/places.

I don't think it's that depressed, fellas.

I still think we're overrating him based on who he was. He just isn't that player now. And that's playing with the easy button turned on in Baltimore.

He could've relied on the Patriots being desperate to get a little more, but I don't think he's any sort of elite player at this point.

All I've heard this off-season is how Reid and Mahomes make things damn near impossible for OTs. So anybody we get is probably going to take a step back.

What the Chiefs ask of their OTs is very difficult, alot of guys will look worse here.

Brett Veach enters the off-season:

Oh, I don't either. But it's slim pickings at the LT position and it just so happened that the team that needs one really bad has more money to spend than anyone.

No way to prove it, but I think this is a case where we finally found the rare dude that wants to play for a winner and not uproot his family more than he wants to make a few extra bucks.

Well, Mahomes definitely does. Tackles get in a bad spot when he's not consistent with his drop depth.

I don't think we're going after the "conventional" guys like Stanley (obvious now) and Robinson. Just a feeling.

So we re sign the brokedick that looked pretty shit in two games, couldn't even play when it mattered most, has ended the season on IR four different times, and hope for something different?

Don't know.

I'm sure the coaching staff is being more reasonable about it than we fans are.

We were desperate AF and DJ thought he was good to go, and rushed back. That plan failed.

Wanya failed as well, but shit, he wasn't healthy either. Hard to evaluate when guys are injured.

By all accounts DJ was well liked by his teammates and coaches, wants to come back and actually took time to coach up/help out Thuney in the transition.

If the team thinks that the talent is still there, I'm not going to be shocked if they go that route. I've been saying it since the season ended.

We're in a really weird spot where we really have NO CLUE what they are thinking on this issue.

The Chiefs have lost the benefit of the doubt with LT projects after last season.

I'm sure they are very concerned about losing your trust.

That 4/80 Veach gave Taylor two years ago looks worse by the day. Stanley clearly had zero intent on leaving, because he easily would have gotten a much better deal on the market.

Sigh.

Let's hope he stays healthy all year............................

Not sure if the tags are working so - @DJ's left nut

Now that Stanley is locked up, where do you think this puts a Robinson deal?

$17M AAV?

In fairness, Jawaan was 25 when he got that deal.

Stanley is 31.

Age matters.

*this post in no way endorses the Taylor contract.

Despite my posting history, I never wanted him anyway

**** it. Give me crow’s SF guy.

If we go with Humphries, with Thuney now gone, you’re basically assured an equal or worse offensive line next year.

I refuse to believe Veach would settle for that even being on the board. He’s going to make it look better even if it’s just on paper.

Definition of insanity… doubling down on the same failed strategy as last year.

You continuing to hype up DJ Humphries as a viable option next season… when he was completely unplayable in the postseason… is hilarious.

I obviously don't know the market/money, but at this point - give me Jaylon Moore.

He played pretty well on the left side, struggled on the right. Still young and shouldn't break the bank.

I type too slow

Rickey had this one and the Chase Young one so far.

Did they also lose your trust on drafting WRs/weapons? Because they’ve been pretty good at that the past two seasons*


* on field production, not off field production

I'm not hyping him at all. I'm telling you there's a chance the team doesn't feel the same way you do about it.

I'm growing tired of the "unplayable in the postseason" bullshit.

Thuney is already out of position, has built a little continuity with Caliendo - and then you wanna just throw DJ out there when he hadn't played meaningful snaps next to Joe?

Jesus, imagine the bitching you'd be doing had they tried that and failed.

When all three LT’s the Chiefs drafted/signed were completely unplayable in the postseason last year… might be time to go with a non-project option this year.

Especially since there was no change at offensive line coach.

The Chiefs didn’t even consider putting DJ Humphries into the game during the Super Bowl, after Thuney was repeatedly getting dominated.

LMAO

Holy shit, this all day ^

Veach will absolutely make another move or two, but Humphries will be in the camp competition

That's such a stupid saying and doesn't even apply to this situation. Just because a couple of projects LTs didn't work out doesn't mean they won't work out in the future.

I’d rather keep Humphries on a small contract similar to Hollywood Brown than give Stanley $20 million APY.

He’s been available 60% of the time the last 5 years. Cam Robinson is easily the best choice here

Argument gets blown up by the fact Reid considered plugging in Suamataia at LG over Humphries. He's a useless brokedick piece of shit.

He’s not a bad reporter - I think he is pretty good - he is just not good at predictions or reading tea leaves on what the team will do.

Think about that for a bit. Suamataia sucked so badly he got benched mid game. Twice. And the organization thinks so little of him as an OT they'd rather shift him to OG. And Reid STILL called his number before Humphries. Useless. Broken. Washed. Waste of ****ing time.

Fire Vert Beach

Had a feeling this was more likely than not.

Still want nothing to do with Cam ****ing Robinson.

No matter what option we go with, Bart needs to draft a dude in R1.

I don't think that meant anything about Humphries dude. Kingsley was just the backup LG.

It absolutely does. Reid would've rather plugged in Suamataia at LG and had TWO guys out of position rather than plug in Humphries at LT and moved Thuney back to LG

I hate to say I told you so...

Just kidding. I love saying I told you so.

LOL

I eagerly await future complaints about Veach not doing to fix this position.

He's useful for human interest sort of stories.

He just never has any actual insider information.

Chiefs will get a better LT and Ravens will have a brokedick.

There are plenty of better examples than "Reporter says team will target Player X in FA, Player X resigns with his original team before FA begins" to use as dunk material.

They all boil down to "why can't Veach pull a franchise LT out of his ass?!"

Why can't anything good ever happen to us?
