You just described this FA class.

Pretty sure I don't want the Chiefs to be over-spending on what's available.

Haven't we just overspent on our own?

You might be able to make that argument stick had we franchise tagged Poe, but we didn't so you can't.

I don't consider what the Chiefs have done over-spending. Berry got paid, but arguably merits what he got. Same with Sorenson. More valuable to the Chiefs than anyone else.....

Northman said that he didn't want to overspend on FAs

If the FA market would have been overspending and we gave market-rate contracts to our own guys, then?

just sayin'

There is no ****ing way that we didn't overspend for LDT and Sorenson.

Now apparently this year's market is all about overspending.

So we just overspent on our guys just like you didn't want to overspend on other FAs.

I'm really not sure what the problem is. Like I said, Dorsey appears to be signing his guys based on what he feels their potential could be, in other words - he's signing them to team friendly deals before they hit their peak potential. Give it another season and some other team could possibly swoop in and steal our home grown talent after they put up solid seasons.

after most everyone bitched about not getting Houston and Berry locked up a year earlier I can't believe people are complaining now.

If Sorenson had hit the open market this year I bet he would have gotten $5M per easy, and probably $6M per year in the end. He would have been one of the top guys hitting the market at S.

Yeah, seriously.

Look at it like that - Dorsey learned his lesson with Houston and is adjusting accordingly.

Remember when everyone got a boner about possibly bringing in Hugh Douglas?

Good FA times.

We put out the green M&M's on his tour of Arrowhead and everything, just for him. **** that guy.

If you're ok with giving 5 million per to Parker and 4 million per to Sorenson then enjoy.

This year's draft has an elite group of secondary players, talented and deep. We probably could have upgraded over Sorenson somewhere between the 3rd-5th round.

I guess I just don't understand why we are paying big for secondary players when it's a great secondary draft.

Because they're vets and already familiar with the system. And maybe Ke'vaire Russell spooked them a touch last year, who knows?

I have zero issue with them throwing bucks at the defensive backfield, none. Especially when you consider how NFL offenses are basically two steps away from being Run N Shoot offenses anymore. Get all the competent guys back there you can.

It's just a 2 year commitment to him with his guaranteed money and gives us a chance to find a gem and develop. I really like Parker but with his age and 2018 cap hit, I think they part ways knowing a team will sign him and we'll cash in on a 4th round comp pick by doing so.
