Zack Martin to replace Trey Smith?

[Couch-Potato]

"Zack Martin, OG

Best team fit: Kansas City Chiefs

We have Trey Smith fitting with the Bears, leaving an open spot on the interior of the Kansas City front. Martin still brings the blend of size (6-4, 315 pounds) and mobility that coaches want at the guard position. Last season, Martin played in 10 games due to a right ankle injury, but his pass block win rate of 93.7% ranked 15th among guards. He could help keep that Chiefs interior strong (though the OT position also needs a lengthy look this offseason).”

No way I'm giving him any sort of long-term deal. I'd take Ertz for a year or even Ty Conklin over Gesicki. I just don't like how Gesicki plays.

I mean, take your pick right? There are several others in that range to choose from... Juwan Johnson, Austin Hooper, Tyler Conklin... It's more the premise than the preference.

Bro told the Cowboys he's retiring so no dice there.

I don't really feel like sifting through the entire board to try to find the right post for it.

But might the fairly substantial cap increase make tagging/trading Smith a viable possibility? We just 'found' $10 million in cap space. As did every other team in the league.

Even though they aren’t supposed to, I’m sure the teams are discussing stuff like this.

If there’s a trade partner ready, I’m sure the Chiefs could do it.

If one of Kingsley, Morris, Caliendo or Nourzad isn’t ready to start at RG, that’s a pretty bad reflection on our OL scouting/development

POP is a serviceable back but his running style exposes him to some significant wear-and-tear. We need a solid RB 1A, Hunt would fill that spot if we can swing the deal.

I trust the GM Bart Verch, he is pretty good at keeping the team in the running.

Zack Martin retired today. Helluva career.
