Chiefs to target Dan or Jaylen Moore today?
 

From Albert Breer:

I'd be happy with either guy as long as the price isn't crazy. Both young ascending LTs.

Either is an upgrade to what we had last year.

I think we have to resign ourselves to the fact that we aren’t going to just back into an all world talent at LT. We just cannot afford another year with a really really bad one.

Go overpay for a “good enough” veteran. Load up on OTs in the draft. We need to do that anyway to start thinking about a potential jawaan taylor replacement. Recognize that we will need to swing and miss a few times probably until we get what we want. I am confident we will get there but it will require patience

Most human beings walking the planet today are an upgrade over what we had last year.

I don't really think Dan is ascending. I think he's pretty much maxed out at barely adequate.

Jaylon is intriguing though.

I think there's a reason Pittsburgh has no problem with letting Dan Moore walk

Jaylon Moore seems intriguing, although I will pair him with someone like Jedrick Wills/DJ Humphries and/or a pick in the first 3 rds of the draft.

Rusini says the Chiefs are expected to go after Morgan Moses.

A 34 year old career RT.

Why does anyone listen to her again?

He's 26 and suppsoedly coming off his best year by far. That's the definition of ascending.

Not if it's plateaued. I think he has.

If you wanna do Donger stuff, be my guest.

The irony. You really do want to argue about anything and everything lately, huh?

LMAO

He's gotten better every single year, but sure, he could have finally plateaued, but you and I have no way of knowing that.

Rather take my chances with Moore

I don’t like Dan Moore but Russ makes life a living hell on tackles bc he holds the ball forever and has no athleticism anymore. There’s a reason Denver’s OL looked way better with Nix.

How bout Mary Tyler? Roger?

I also prefer Moore as opposed to the alternative

Crow was the first to mention Jaylen Moore awhile back and I hope that's the who they sign. Seems like the perfect Veach acquisition. Young with plenty of upside.

While he more often than not gets out of it by scrambling, does Mahomes not also make life harder on his OTs with his constant deep drops?

Patrick needs Moore time to throw

I understand you need to preemptively defend anything the Chiefs even MIGHT do to keep that record of yours intact but I don't imagine you have given Dan Moore a second thought prior to the last week or two.

I've already had this dialogue with myself back in December or January. I mentioned him as an off-season possibility back while we were still playing. And decided to look into him then.

And I think he's about what Wanya Morris would be. I just don't see anything he has that Morris doesn't. The Steelers just left him out there despite a horrific 2023 and he was barely adequate in 2024; mostly the same sort of excruciatingly mediocre he was in 2022. It's as likely as not that 2024 was a contract year outlier.

That's not a player that's appears to be improving - it's a guy who returned to the very forgettable form he showed in 2022.

We did very well last year with a major problem at LT, but we also had a lot of luck along the way. We don't have to get one of the best at LT, we need to get an adequate LT. It's not what any of us would prefer, especially with the prospect of breaking someone new into the LG spot, but it''s the reality we have to accept.

I'd rather bring back Humphries and put Morris at guard while continuing to develop Kingsley as an OT. Dan Moore has no meaningful ceiling, IMO. If you sign him hoping that he'll provide an 'island' tackle, you're going to be disappointed.

Both Humphries and Kingsley have the traits to do that job with health or experience respectively. Dan Moore just doesn't.

I would rather sing Jaylon to reasonable contract and have him compete for the job. I don't think that will happen, its just the nature of free agency - he's going to get over paid....


Honestly, all the options are kinda gross - but I'd like to throw numbers at the problem - sign and draft and hope one of these guys pans out. If you end up with two starting LT - that is a good problem to have.

Moore was worse the year prior.

And Mahomes does everything BUT make things easy on his OTs.

Jaylon Moore’s build looks exactly like Kingsley in uniform.

If they sign him and he turns out to not be a fit…

Both options have me pretty nervous.

So we are holding our breath for Jaylon at this point, correct?

My Steelers fan friend just texted that Dan Moore is pretty good, so letting you all know.

Jaylon Moore has sub-34 inch arms.

Dan’s above it.

Dude, all I did was a call a young player that by all accounts has gotten better every year and coming off a career year an "ascending" player and you have to turn it into an argument. He's not my first choice, maybe not even my second. I literally acknowledged the first time I brought him up as an option for me that I've been dismissive up until this point, but I posted that before there was any strong connection to the Chiefs.

He's average, the hope is that he can maybe keep developing into slightly above average. That's it.

Can't find the post now, but someone on here was claiming they had inside info the Chiefs were after Dan Moore yesterday.

Every dollar of the salary cap is an asset. Every draft pick is an asset. Managing those assets in pursuit of players is critical to the success of the team and spending that much on the LT position that may or may not solve the problem seems like a waste when we need to fill other holes.

because of their builds?

He hasn't improved every year. He was awful in 2023. And in 2024 he was the same guy he was in 2022. That's a guy who's found his ceiling (and it was fringe starter quality) but who's also demonstrated that his floor is going to stay in play.

Sure.

And not like the SF scheme is in any way similar to ours. It protects its OL hugely with the run game.

Jaylon Moore would be quite a gamble. Dan Moore might not be much better.

Becoming pretty evident that teams think Cam Robinson is low character and it’s why he was given away at the deadline.

It was Duncan in the draft section FA thread.

I’ve noticed whoever we sign reminds me a lot of Jonathan Ogden.

Whoever we don’t sign reminds me of Jordan Black.

Where you seeing that?

Maybe that's the case, but that seems to be the consensus amongst Steelers fans whether they like him or hate him.

Twitter is down as of this morning...lol.

Sure, granted, but this year 5 of us dealing with an uncertain long term LT - a problem that has - in part - lead to us blowing two super bowls because we can't protect the QB. Look I don't think they are going to sign an expensive LT and then draft one in the first... but **** a duck... we have to fix this, one way or another.

If you end up with more than one starting caliber T then wonderful, you have a RT for next year when Taylor is kicked to the curb.

Hardly a waste when LT is the lone position on the roster that is potentially responsible for getting Mahomes injured. Miss out on a DT or CB? Oh well, maybe the defense falls off for a year or so. It's not the end of the world.

When your offense has fallen off 2 years in a row due to a combination of shit WR play and shit LT play, you're really going to not go hard at addressing LT? That's insanity.

Sure, don't trade way up in a shit OT class in the draft. Signing someone in FA (either Moore) and still drafting Conerly in the 1st or maybe Ersery/Mbow/Belton in the 2nd/3rd range isn't too much to ask.

Breer in his article mentions teams are down on his football character.

The ole man is a die-hard Steelers fan and he legit told me yesterday that Dan Moore sucks. If he says Moore sucks, count me out lol.

Definitely out

Patriots easily

$20M for either guy would be rather ridiculous .

dan has had one decent year which just happens to coincide with his contract year.

jaylen has yet to amass 16 games played in 4 nfl seasons.

if there was ever a time to trust in veach... this is it i guess lol. as long as we do not overpay im willing to roll with it.

Ronnie Stanley is going to end up looking like a chump.

I don’t think this is us. The scheme fits just aren’t there.

I’ll remain I think it’s Robinson or they find a way to make a trade.

The whole reason I’ve wanted Jaylon Moore is that I thought he’d be cheaper.

At that number though? I’m hesitant.

neither of these turds are going to live up to 20m dear god if we actually do that...

Paying $20m per for left tackles that will squarely be ranked between 18-32… don’t like.

Only thing worse would be if we don't.

I'd rather roll with Kingsley and Wanya again than pay 20+ million a year for Dan Moore.

our line by the numbers possibly...

20, 23.5, 18, Rookie, 20?


woof.

Left Tackles are like chicks at the bar. A 4 or 5 will get you through a dry spell as long as you don't buy her a lot of drinks. Hooking up with a 9 or 10 is just dumb luck unless you pay through the teeth and if that's the case she'll never really be into you.

Of course, there will always be that dude putting way too much work into a slump buster only to regret it the next day. We don't want to be that guy.

Dan Moore sucks

Yeah. Patrick Mahomes may be killed but at least we will have prudent salary cap management.

Of the two, I would prefer Moore, because Moore sucks.

Saw somewhere that Dan Moore allowed the most sacks of any tackle last year. Is that true?

Can't wait to go through this same song and dance a year from now

I would rather have Jaylen Moore. He looks better to me

You'd rather forfeit a season than over pay for a LT? Because with Thuney now gone, that is essentially what you're saying.

I'm saying Dan Moore wouldn't be that big of an upgrade over Wanya.

Doesn't look too shabby.

Well if that's the case, we'd be ****ed. But he's more proven as at least a replacement level player. Trotting Morris out there as plan A is essentially punting on the whole season. The only hope left would be Kingsley takes a monumentous leap and saves the day.

It’s all a smokescreen for the Charles Cross trade

Jaylon Moore is the better tackle of the two if you ask me. Still neither are really what I’d expect Veach to do.

Jaylen Moore looks like he played pretty well in Silverback’s absence.

Better Moore than Less?

God damn you're a miserable whiny ****. What the **** do you want them to do dumbass?

Patriots have $121 million in cap space. More than anyone. The Chargers are 2nd and have $93 million.

They can afford to massively overpay and likely will. That’s who is probably getting Dan Moore Jr

Yeah after reviewing these guys this morning I am now all aboard the Jaylen bandwagon.

Am I wrong? This is the 3rd year in a row we're trying to put a bandaid at left tackle, chances are this will happen most every year here.

Again, what the **** do YOU want them to do?

You're proving my point that the whiny bitch crowd is demanding that Veach pull a franchise LT out of his ass.

I know I said I’d pay anything for one of these guys all offseason, but if Dan Moore is really up in the 20 million a year realm, I’d move on to other options. If Cam Robinson’s market is actually hindered because of character issues, that seems like an even more likely play for Veach. He can probably land him in the 3/51 range.

I’m settled on him at this point. He’s the only name that hasn’t been mentioned by the media, which also makes me think he’s the guy. I can’t see Brett Veach going and paying 20 million a year for either of the Moores. It’s just too much.

We found a bandaid the first time and won the Super Bowl. We ****ed up last year and only won the AFC. This year free agency hasn't started yet and everybody knows the Chiefs are trying to get a tackle so maybe give it a few hours before declaring failure.

We've won 2 SBs with 2 different bandaids at LT, but when you're a miserable ****, that's not good enough.

Would either player be better than moving Jawaan Taylor to LT? If the result is mostly the same, I'd rather not overpay for a mid player. Taylor is making LT money in 2025 and 2026.

Also, is either player related to Skyy Moore?

Why do the chargers need an OT?
