Same OL sans LT just got more expensive

Good point. We have the same porous OL from last season, but far more expensive. Yay!

Jawaan Taylor - Overpaid and long term contract. Mistake signing, no different than Frank Clark, Sammy Watkins, MVS, etc. Performed below expectations year over year.

Creed Humphrey - Massive overpay, far above and beyond any center in the NFL. A true difference maker, all-pro calibre talent James Cook was *asking* for 15 mil a year. This RB is unbelievable, yet Creed makes way more than James Cook is even asking for.

Joe Thuney - Huge contract. Paid very handsomely year in and out, probably above mkt value.

Trey Smith - Massive overpay for a player that keeps regressing year in and out.

LT - Just tries throwing band aid after band aid that anyone can see is grasping at straws.

To make matters worse, this IS the KC Chiefs Oline that got obliterated in the Super Bowl and struggled throughout the season(s).

He overpaid Noah Gray and others. And overpaid on star players Kelce and Jones. And misses on a lot of early round draft picks, to say the least. He also lets players like Willie Gay go for very cheap, when we had a clear need for his speed and athleticism at LB.

****ing guy!!!!!

This is the gayest thing I've ever seen, and I've raped a man.

DJ Humphries is supposedly going to magically turn into a playable/competent LT this offseason.

Apparently.

Don't get it. Folks are convinced the only reason we didn't shift him in was because he rushed back too quick and got reinjured and yet he was healthy enough to play in a meaningless week 18 game. He wasn't playing in the post season because Thuney was the better option for Reid. Hell, Reid was ready to plug in Suamataia over him. That should speak volumes.

Lol

Creed Humphrey signed after his worst season last year. Was fine this season. Interesting(probably to only me)

This smells like a counter-move to some tampering. Like the reports got out we were close, and some team reached out to his agent and let them know they were ready to back up the truck, and suddenly we weren't so close anymore.

We could do far worse than Brett Veach.

He’s done a pretty masterful job to this point of putting together a team to complement the Dorsey core.

But he hasn’t ever had to build the core himself.

As that Hall of Fame core that Dorsey left him continues to leave or age out, we’re going to start to find out if he’s truly an elite GM or just an ok one.

I’m guessing we get a 3rd rounder like Sneed.

He's the main reason we have Mahomes, and no matter how many times that gets explained to reeruns like yourself, you still don't get it.

He was the scout on Mahomes. Dorsey was the one that had final say on the matter and had to listen to his scout, and execute the trade up to select him.

Dorsey gets the credit because he was the GM at the time.

By your logic, every great pick Veach has made is because of the scout on that player and not Brett.
