Chiefs creating cap space
 

Field Yates

Source: the cap-tight Chiefs converted LS James Winchester's $500K roster bonus into a signing bonus, creating $400K in cap space.

Also rumor of Sorensons deal creating some room

How much room? I don't think 500 K is gonna make a difference

Hopefully to sign Hodges

It was mentioned on 810 radio that Sorenson's deal would create some room as well.

Gerald Hodges is in town and these moves are happening. Looks like they will offer him a deal.

Hopefully they are making that happen... he would be an upgrade to what we once had in Mauga

If Hodges plays with two cinder blocks strapped to his feet- he will still be faster than Mauga. :)

About time.

The thing with Hodges is, if you're bringing him in, you are bringing him in as the Mike. You have him be the middle of the field roamer in their typical cover 1 man. You aren't going to ask him to consistently man up running backs and tight ends.

So, if they sign him, they have to either expect DJ back, or trust Ramik or another guy at Will. I just don't see Hodges at Will in this defense being successful. This is why Hasson Reddick still makes sense here, if they avoid QB in the 1st round.

Amen !!!:clap:

Even if they secure a linebacker I still think they are going to draft one. Everyone on the roster currently has severe limitations whether it's speed, strength, or instinct.

We need a god damn homing missile that wants to kill running backs every single down.

Reuben! Reuben! Reuben!

LMAO keep wishing

His mental issues won't scare the Bengals off. No shot he nakes it to even the 20s, much less 27.

Strong point.

You guy that right. RBs could out run Mauga with no legs.

Our defense is fine. As are our special teams. Our o-line, WRs, and TEs are pretty good, too. RBs are just okay. I think that about covers the positions that are playing at a level that will enable playoff success.

I agree.

Bottom line: His agent told him if they wanted to look closer at that RC injury possibly doing an MRI or whatever they wanted to do to see how that injury is healing up; get out of there immediately and do what you have to do because you don't want your stock to potentially drop because "their doctors" aren't satisfied with the operation/healing process. Once he realized they were holding him longer his anxiety rose culminating in anger and did just that.

He could fall based on not allowing a look at the injury.

Every dollar counts and all that but 400K seems like a very small amount.

If we don't go QB in round 1, I really hope it's an edge rusher. I'll settle for a Raekwon McMillian type if I have to.

I see what you did there.....:D

If we don't go after a real quarterback I don't care if a tornado hits arrowhead.

Oline depth is desperately needed across the board.

TE is now a position a great need, for this scheme specifically. Gonna need more than just Kelce in this offense.

I wish they would move on from Maclin, but in reality there's no one to replace him with and this team has higher priorities early on in the draft, so drafting WR early I would think is out of the question.

OLB is a great need. Who knows about Houston and Dee Ford is as inconsistent as they come. ILB a great need too, but I'm betting on the possibility of DJ coming back 100%

I think the Chiefs will draft a CB late, but secondary isn't a pressing need at the moment.

Dat 400k

DJ wasn't 100% before he went down to his second achilles last season.

This is true. ****ing Raiders.
