[siberian khatru]

With cap space tight after the DeAndre Hopkins trade, the Chiefs restructured the contract of OT Jawaan Taylor by converting salary into a signing bonus, creating $5.3M in 2024 room.

Veach wants to see how Wanya performs against Crosby before signing David Bahktiari.

Even with Hopkins we are still one injury away from an empty cupboard.

I believe adding Johnson would secure the position through the Superbowl. Juju could go down at any minute and we dont know if Hollywood will be ready for sure. He may be rusty even if he can play in the playoffs.

This would give Mahomes some WRs that he can count on for the 3peat!!

I wouldnt rule out Zadarius Smith though. Veach wanted him and again its a position we could use some reinforcements.

I dont think Lattimore is in the cards because he would just be a one year rental. Even though 16 million is cheap for him, we have to pay Mcduffie and some other guys. That would be a lot tied up in Corners and we know the Chiefs like to grow their own in that position.

I think we could swing both Z Smith and Johnson under current cap space.

The stans for that brokedick LT are rerunned, tho.

Good job

From what I found, it looks like Taylor has been penalized 7 times this year.

5 false starts. 2 holds.

I believe I remember the hold against the Saints being pretty weak.

False starts are called on OTs depending on how the ref is feeling that day it seems. Little consistency across the league.

Anyway, major improvement from last year. He’s been solid.
