BUT

He's on the Las Vegas Raiders actually.

His NFL career -

Cincinnati Bengals (2016–2019)
Cleveland Browns (2020–2021)
Miami Dolphins (2021)*
Kansas City Chiefs (2021)*
Las Vegas Raiders (2022–present)
* Offseason and/or practice squad member only

Yeah he was signed for like 1 practice or something kinda weird. Was hoping we were taking him to camp he's nothing spectacular but maybe a depth guy? Oh well.

So is Drew Lock going to start for SEA now that Watson's joining the Browns? ...AND they have no plans to trade either WR?

Seattle is working on their 2022 plan right now.

Trying to decide if they go full tank mode and compete with the Atlanta Falcons for that honor. They might trade away anybody of value if they go that way.

What a strange player.

For one game he was the best corner the Chiefs had. And frankly in that one game he probably played the best game by a Chiefs corner all season.

I won't miss him - but if someone can ever get some consistency out of the guy, he had as much raw talent as any DB on the roster. He just too frequently didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground...

He's a guy (like White) that I'd overpay over his 'present' market to lock him in for 3 years.

I think both of those guys can be signed to contracts that they vastly outperform over a couple of seasons. It's the sort of thing I'd have liked to have done with guys like Ogbah.

Get a little term in place when their at a semi-low point in their value. Now they obviously won't sign for multiple years at their 'make good deal' price point. But if you beat that by a little but less than you'd have to pay in an 'up' market for them, you'll be in real nice shape.

And all it would take for that market to form for either of those guys is for Barnett to turn 3-4 more of those pressures into sacks or for White to have one more year exactly like the one he just had.

These are DAMN good buy low candidates with some long-term upside we could bake in.

Don’t tell me you had a hard on for Billings like DJ had for that Fangupo guy

They'll draft somebody as well.

[BossChief]

Let’s go waaayyyy outside the box….down the street into a spacex rocket and go into space.

Trade 30 and to Seattle for DK AND picks 109 and 145.

It’s like the modern/offense version of Buddy Ryans 4-6. You completely overload the passing game with no way for the opposing defense to have enough talent to cover it all.

The cap space comes from the Orlando and Tyreek extensions.

Mahomes
Hill
DK
Juju
Hardman
Kelce

I’m honestly not sure how any defense in history could defend that.

That would give us a bunch of picks to make the defense pretty damn special in its own right, too…outside of maybe picking a speed back in the mid rounds…maybe Dalvin Cooks brother.


Hold it in just a little longer….




Ok, exhale

Those futures contracts are cheap we need some bodies some consistent depth on the line would be nice

I’d for sure give Barnett a 2-3 year deal with some incentives built in. He’s young and may still realize his potential. Then if you can get one in the draft….you could bring in Ingram or Dunlap after the draft if you don’t like where the group is. Just keep rotating guys to keep them fresh throughout the season. Plus you’ve got Barnett for when Clark is gone next season.

Well he's entering his 5th year so I think the train is leaving the station. Side note: I'm glad UCF is finally joining a real conference-ish. Those players and coaches from that school win alot of games with a bunch of 3* who are simply more athletic than the other schools they play and the value gets inflated. No way Hughes gets taken in the first round if he's playing in a more competitive conference.
