Darrel is our worst back IMO, so I’m good with this.

Signing Brown makes me think we aren’t gonna have Claiborne or Fenton Sunday...

Yep. And that's not good. Would love to have as many DB's available as possible.

Rankin was beginning to look pretty good before the injury. I guess that's just the way it goes.

Those of us that held to it still catch grief today. I'm still bent over how it all went down. I thought that I'd be over it once the season started, and I was moving on until Kareem came back. Where is the OUTRAGE NOW???

So now, in order to deal with the fallout, I keep telling myself that I think by the way Clark handled the Tyreek situation, he learned a little something...

It was a rash decision from Clark and an incredibly stupid one long-term. It's going to cost us draft capital, FA$ and/or both at t a time where we can ill afford to burn either of them given the extensions we need to offer and/or picks we need to use to backfill those we can't extend. Hell, we need basic improvements on this roster.

It was shortsighted, petty and foolish.

Clark's temper tantrum has hurt the team substantially.

I was just looking at the Cardinals RB situation and was wondering about David Johnson. I know Drake's a FA next year so they might just decide to roll with DJ again next season, but he's been effectively benched this year.

His salary next year is stout; cap hit would be around $10.5 million. But I'd far prefer him to Le'veon Bell and his hit's a couple million lower than Bell's.

Neither of them are options I prefer as I'm not terribly excited about the idea of a $10 million cap hit on a RB. But g'damn - we CANNOT do this again next season. This backfield is a bag of smashed assholes.

I’d be looking at the 49ers RB room for a starter.

I get wanting to punish Kareem. We should’ve just kept him on his cheap deal and ran him into the ground. Never extend him and let someone else overpay him.

[smithandrew051]

I do trust this regime to fix the issues we see though, especially after the 2019 draft.

Draft and FA needs to focus on LB, Interior OL, RB. I think we can re-sign the corners we have fairly cheaply. The secondary has been very good, so I like this group. Maybe try to find another Fenton late.

HB might be the easiest position in the draft to find.

I wouldn't spend higher than a 3rd on one and whomever we take we need to focus on a HB who's physical. Yes, he'll need to be able to catch and block to fit Andy's scheme but he also needs to bring a physicality allowing them to close out games that none of our other HB's have...

[BossChief]

I missed it. What happened to Fenton and Claiborne?

I think Fenton was a shoulder thing...

No. Just draft one.

Easy to do if we tag and trade Jones

Trying to find some additional information on CB Alex Brown.

His info from NFL Pro Day lists him at 5'10", 183 LBS while the Chiefs list him at 5'11", 170 LBS. The height difference I get. He could have grown or they might just like to add an inch for show. But going from 183, which was an official weigh in, to 170 is a pretty big drop.

The NFL.com/Prospects had this to say about him -

Explosive, fast athlete with the size of a nickel cornerback but lacking the play traits for a smooth transition inside. Brown has decent ball production and his monster workout numbers will have teams scrambling for additional tape, but he needs plenty of additional work with his patience, footwork and route recognition. His length and recovery speed are major check marks in his favor, but a practice squad spot could be the goal as he continues to work on the fundamentals of the position.

Strengths
Fast and extremely explosive
Blew the doors off of his pro day with 4.42-second 40-yard dash and 41.5-inch vertical leap
Outstanding arm length for a cornerback , 33".
Fluid hips can swivel into transitions
Twitchy breaks to the throw from side shuffle
Plays with strength to re-route and stall the release
Leaping and length aid ball production
Posted seven interceptions and 19 pass breakups over the last two years

Weaknesses
Needs better patience from press
Quick to declare feet and hips to a release fake
Below-average foot agility to mirror
Undisciplined in man coverage with footwork
Feet stall at the top when attempting to plant and drive from a pedal
Can be manipulated too easily by the route
Big receivers able to play over him on perimeter
Lacks desired physicality as tackler in run support

Before the 2019 NFL season began, was with San Francisco 49ers (5/16/19)-(7/25/19), Philadelphia Eagles(7/26/19)-(8/4/19), New York Jets (8/15/19)-(8/31/19), and then signed by Kansas City Chiefs to their practice squad (9/2/19). Biggest claim to fame while on Chiefs PS, he played Lamar Jackson getting the Chiefs ready to play Baltimore Ravens. To Alex's credit, while other players have come and went, Brown has remained with KC PS for the season.

With Morris Claiborne and Rashad Fenton both not practicing on Wednesday and Kendall Fuller coming back from his thumb injury, the Chiefs knew they had to do something for the CB position.

Currently Chiefs have Bashaud Breeland, Charvarius Ward, Kendall Fuller, and Alex Brown to match up with Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett II, and N'Keal Harry.

Hill didn't ****ing do anything bruh.

Hunt was caught in a lie on video shoving and toe tapping a chick over. It was barely a kick, but still, he did the shit. He lies about it, makes the Chiefs look like fools for believing him.

Good riddance.

The hasty decision to release him was dumb. It doesn't happen the way that it did, lie or not, if there wasn't pressure by a certain segment of the public to release him. Fast forward a year, and the Chiefs are the only loser in the situation.
