Only thing that I wonder about is why the Rams are are not looking to retain him, especially at $16 million a year projected. If there are no red flags, then at that price KC really needs to consider trying to get him.

They are moving on from Kupp and just gave Stafford permission to speak to other teams. Probably about to go through a rebuild and don’t want to spend 20 million a year on a LT.

As people have stated many times about him, though, he does get a lot of help which would not happen here. With his short arms and an offensive genius like McVay being willing to let him walk, it does give you some hesitancy. That said, we are in dire straits here and if this kid is even just serviceable in this offense, it’s still a win even if you have to overpay.

I still believe it’s going to be Cam Robinson. Just makes way too much sense.

They need to upgrade LT, I do agree with that. But overpaying to get an adequate one is not smart. Look at how much pearl clutching goes on here over Taylor and his salary despite that he was and is an upgrade over Wylie.

It might be Cam, but we will wait and see.

It's true, Taylor is an upgrade over Wylie, who blows goats.

Because he’s a spot starter with short arms. A swing tackle not a game in game out player. You just have to take off the CP desperation glasses to see .

A spot starter that's started 32 games the past 2 seasons?

He’s got baby arms. He’s not a LT for Andy Reid.

Rainbarrel 02-22-2025 07:47 PM

The Chiefs have to know LT is a must fix. Why the hell else would they just give Oladokum a futures contract. When all he does is move backwards and run in loops

KentuckyChief 02-22-2025 07:56 PM

Ersery FTW! That’s the pick. Screw going after any of these FA’s.

Robinson looks pretty good against the Texans. Full game is on this link.

Sign Ronnie Stanley and draft a project.

Yeah that guy will back up Kingsley nicely.

Providing it's for a couple of years max I still think I'd prefer thus, even with his injury record. You know you're getting an above average pass-pro with decent run blocking. You just don't know how many games you'll get him for.

But, he'll likely go back to the Ravens

Chris Meck 02-23-2025 08:40 AM

Yeah, I seriously doubt The Ravens let Stanley out of the building.

They would be in the same position as we are; no answers at LT on a contender and drafting too low to get one.

That's just not a smart place to intentionally put yourself.

O.city 02-23-2025 09:03 AM

Don’t think they have the money to sign him. They may move some $ around but that’s not normal for them
