Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries Medically Cleared [signed by Chiefs]
Does Veach give him a call?

He's very well spoken. Here's to him returning to Pro Bowl form.

He's 30. If his knee holds up and he returns to form he could be Pats LT for the next 4 years and Wanya slides to RG and we're set for a LONG time.

That might be one of my favorite player interviews in a long long time.
I love the part of how he told D-Hop he didn't need to sell him on coming to KC he watches TV. |

Anyone know how comp picks work in regards to guys signed in season? It would be a very Chiefs thing to do to watch him ball out for a few months and then let some other team pay him a huge deal while landing a 3rd round comp pick for his service.
I hope they don’t go that route, but I could very much see it happening. |

It could also be the other way around...in the interview DJ clearly thought he was going into a contract year and expected a big pay day until his injury and release from AZ. It wouldn't surprise me if DJ and his agent see all the negative press on our starting LTs and if he comes to KC, shows at least semi level skill, it could be looked at as DJ making a HUGE impact and thus giving him his best chance at getting a long term contract from another team. Maybe that team is KC but maybe its not. HE also gets a chance to get his ring! |

Not trying to overreact here but this guy being even an average LT like he was changes everything.
It changes the entire offense. It changes Mahomes. It changes the playcalling. It changes the heavy reliance on the defense. It most importantly would change the the next 3 years bc Veach would almost assuredly extend this guy if he returns to form. The Chiefs might be tight on money but they would enter the draft with the ability to attack the weaknesses of the defense as well as add another offensive weapon for Mahomes.

Yeah, I'm trying to restrain my giddiness a bit but it sure looks like we are setup good if Humphries returns to form.

I hope you’re right, it just seems like something they would totally do. I don’t think they’re ready to give up on Kingsley yet (as they shouldn’t) and you’re looking at four o-lineman with ~80 million dollar contracts. Not sure that’s feasible, they may have to let Thuney go to make it happen, which I would actually be fine with if the choice is him or a good LT.

I just looked at his PFR page for the first time and that's less than exciting.
2015 - Inactive his entire rookie season. 2016 - Missed 3 games 2017 - Missed 11 games 2018 - Missed 7 games 2019-2021 - healthy with one pro bowl 2022 - Missed 9 games 2023 - Missed final 2 games with most recent knee injury 2024 - Missed 11 games so far Why are we so excited about this guy? He's missed games for knee injuries and in 2022 he missed over half the season because of a back injury. Also found this on Wikipedia and I know Bruce Arians is a jack ass, but damn. "Throughout his rookie training camp and in the preseason, Humphries displayed revolting play in practice and preseason. Head coach Bruce Arians nicknamed him "knee-deep", explaining that you need to keep "A knee in his ass every day" to keep him motivated" I'm finding any excitement to be dissipating. |
