This would fit the Veach game plan.

Highly touted coming out, underperformed as of late, high ceiling.

cute name, I'll say that.

I really hope not yet considering the tampering bullshit the Chiefs have been caught up in in the past. Wish peeps wouldn't report this garbage in the mainstream.

But yet the media has narrowed the Kirk Cousins field down to four.

Absolute bullshit that the Chiefs got penalized in the Maclin situation.

And Lotulelei better come cheap. Underwhelming player. Dude is turning 29 this year too...

And was a fat sack of blah on a pretty talented DL.

And is a Mormon.....

Reid’s greasy fingerprints are behind this potential signing.

wut

Vet Minimum, sure.

Anything more? Nope.

I wouldnt be against this move, at all

Make the contract team friendly, and hope that a change of scenery is the right medicine

Maybe he'd thrive in a 3-4 :shrug:

Unless they are using him to get the scoop on his younger brother I just don't get it

I drafted this guy in our alternative reality game, so I've been following him the past few years. He's a 4-3 DT who's not the best one on the team, and he gets very few stats. He may be more of the nose tackle type who ties up blockers for other players, but don't expect him to put up flashy numbers.

I'm down. I like Veach's strategy!

Do you think we could pry robert nkemdiche from the Cards for a mid level pick? Similar to Ragland?

:facepalm:

Would.

Plow.

He's a STAR!!! Lol

Based off of his play the last couple of seasons, he should come cheap.

If he’s really cheap, I’d like it. We need to fill a ton of holes while also keeping the cap under control, so those kinds of deals are good to have.

**** him

Lol he's 29 not some young kid with potential. JFC...

He was playing next to one of the best DT's in the NFL and stopped about as much as a condom with holes in it.

I have no ****ing idea why there's any interest.

pff ranks him at 109th of defensive linemen. below average to poor.

I have no clue why Pauline would be reporting this.

This could all be speculative bullshit. Why would leaks of KC’s purported interest in a mid-low tier free agent come to light now?

I hope it is just some twitter hacks throwing shit at the wall.

ROFL

LMAO Very well said!

Certainly could be just checking in. I'm sure they'll have interest in a ton of defensive players

Pass.

2013 NFL Draft

Worst draft of all times

That sounds like a slight exaggeration. Carolina had the 3rd ranked run D. I imagine Star was asked to tie up blockers while Short accumulated 7.5 sacks.

It really isn't. He's trended downward as a run stuffer since his rookie season and completely bottomed out after 2015.

He sucks ass.

DaQuan Jones would be the guy I'd sign

soft or hard?

He hasn't been very good...Logan graded out higher.

Easy to lay down when Superman cleans up after you.

I oft. Wonder why I didn't declare for the 2013 draft.

Wasn't he reported to have some kind of medical condition during his combine? If I remember right it was a heart thing, or something.

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Hell no! He is 29 years old and is not worth pursuing. In a very good defense, he has done nothing. Nothing to see here...move along!

He's started a 46 games over the last three years. If he had heart issues they seem to be under control.

At 29, I'd pass.

Much younger better players out there.

I’d rather sign Sheldon Richardson or Wilkerson on a risky deal than this.

I’m counting on this and Mahomes to fuel my comeback in that game. If this happens I’ll have Star AND Fisher. Time to dominate.

I say this is a soft pass.

You know, I don’t like Star as a 5 tech, but I’d be very happy with him being our NT. NT salary is actually very cheap. Logan was vastly overpaid for it last year, but a contract for 3 years at $5 million avg would be good with me.

He wasn’t a good pass rusher but he has been a consistently good run defender from what I’ve seen.

Could be a Domata Peko type of situation. He looked much better last year as Denver’s NT than he had for a few years in Cincinnati’s 4-3.

Star Lotulelei being Not Great just further exemplifies how much the 2013 NFL Draft was like the worst one in 20 years to have the #1 pick in.

they need to strip the Cheaps of their first round pick and ban them from being in the SuperbowlROFL

I'd rather sign him for cheap and have him in the rotation instead of broke dicks like Jarvis Jenkins.

He looked like more of the run stuffer/multiple block occupier to allow Kawann Short to get 1X1’s which is what Domata Peko did for Geno Atkins in Cincy.

Star has a wide base, long enough arms and did 38 bench reps at the combine, with which he’s gotten stronger from an NFL weight training program.

It wouldn’t surprise me that we were interested bc the market is not strong for these guys and it’s not realistic to have a 2nd or 3rd rd pick come in and start against grown men from day 1.

I wanted Pennel but the Jets will likely keep him. They have tons of cash and used this guy to replace Wilkerson.

The mormon connection. Always.

Knowing how much Troy Vincent seems to dislike the Chiefs, they probably would.

What makes me the most pissed about "reported interest" in Star is that he has never really been very good and he's 29. I absolutely do not want him on this team.

Actually insane how bad the 2013 draft was for the teams selecting in the top half of the draft- such a Chiefs move to get a 1st overall in 2013.

He cant be any worse than Bennie Logan

I'd take Bennie over Star every day of the week. I'd rather neither, in reality. Both overpriced for what you get.

I think that's the idea. For Star to improve upon Logan's play enough to allow Jones to be one of the best in the league. Jones was hindered too much by the guys around him.

Will sign with the bills to a five year deal, according to schefter

good
