Chiefs How REALISTIC is it to get a good CB or safety via roster cuts? - Page 4

UChieffyBugger · 08-28-2018, 05:38 PM

Now I know through NFL history there are stories of late-round talents who become all-time greats (eg Brady) , and there are stories about undrafted talent becoming stars ( eg Aj Bouye). But what about these guys who get cut from rosters before the season starts? Have there been any players who have experienced that and then gone on to do well? Is there any hope for us In these next few days yall?

As you said it's on the mods. I've made my point. If we have to read 3 threads at once to follow the same discussion, then so-be-it. I will politely pass on your fart offer though. Nothing personal.

I do find this thread starter a little irritating, but mega threads suck far more than he does.

As I think about the question, it shouldn't be whether we can get a good CB or safety after cuts, but rather, can we sign someone better than what we have?

I think the answer is "absolutely".

On my phone but here’s a link to articles about potential CB and S additions. All speculation of course

Williams and Douglas are intriguing at CB

O.city · 08-29-2018, 01:49 PM

I still think flipping a mid to late rounder for someone is the way to go.

Pitt Gorilla · 08-29-2018, 01:50 PM

Maybe we could get some stupid team to trade us a pro-bowl level corner on a rookie deal for a 2nd rounder and change.

Yeah he really has no choice. Just a matter of if it’s a small move and nobody will be surprised because it makes sense or it’s a big move for a starter nobody expected. Not too much will surprise me in this DB situation

I dont blame him for rolling the dice on Amerson, great size and he was solid in 2016 before slumping last season... but now that he appears to still be in a funk, yeah better shore things up

Valiant · 08-29-2018, 02:32 PM

I think out secondary would be fine is Sutton and the front seven weren't such pussies.

All we need is pressure without blitzing. Problem is, we have no game plan for that so far. We have the bend, keep bending strategy.

I don’t either. People forget they’re taking 18m(as of right now for this season ) worth of dead money/cap for past mistakes in bad contracts. If that leads to having to play Tremon Smith, Springs, or even a Keith Reasor significant snaps at S just take the lumps and do it. Could pay off down the line. Too bad Amerson didn’t have experience at S at least then they could slide him over there
