If Chase hit the open market and the Chiefs came calling, "He who shall not be named" would be "Patrick Mahomes, the GOAT" in a heartbeat.

Tim Patrick called the Chiefs soft bitches or something like that awhile back - he'd sign in KC the moment we handed him a pen.

Neil Smith taught me long ago that this is all nonsense. These dudes share agents and travel the same social circles in the off-season. They give way less of a shit about the laundry involved than we do.

Yep. Chris Jones recently went deep sea fishing with Herbert.

Have we ever found out who we cut to sign Perine?

From what I heard, these "signings" aren't actually official until the player shows up, has a medical, signs, etc. So we don't have to cut any one until that happens. They may be using that time to decide who to cut.

Hopefully they isolated him for 72 hours and disinfected him before allowing him into the building.

[CaliDatGuy]

The cut player gotta be CEH to NFI list. KC would be crazy to risk Steele or CJ Hanson….they both would get claimed if floated through waivers.

Big missed opportunity but I agree with Nick that this was from missing camp and showing up a week ago. They’ll get it figured out

If Perine had been able to spend training camp with the Chiefs and was use to Mahomes throws this is a converted first off the blitz, maybe inside the ten if not a TD. Instead they had to punt. No fault just not enough time together yet. . #Chiefs #ChiefsKingdom @41IsTheMic pic.twitter.com/Lktsiwqafu

That would have been a game sealer too...that game was so close to being a laugher.

Maybe more time cleans that up, but honestly I think it was just a misfire.

Looked to me like Perine did everything right. Could've maybe gotten his head around a hair sooner but I dunno, looked like he turned at about the right time. Mahomes released at the right time. He just needed to put a little more loft on it to let Perine run through the catch.

PM just let it go a little flat, IMO. Gonna happen from time to time.

Yea, I thought that one was on Pat.

I was really interested in seeing the all 22 of that one to see how many yards it would have been if it was caught

Agree! Put some air under that pass and it's a TD!

Same. Seeing the All-22 makes me feel better. I don’t think that would have scored as I initially thought.

Would have been a huge gain and definitely would have led to at least a field goal, though.

Tough to say for sure. It looked to me like Pat expected Perine to cut up field earlier rather than continuing a pretty flat route. That's a communication and comfort issue rather than either of them being "at fault".
