Pro Bowl FS Reggie Nelson Still Available

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Ron Parker is a younger version of Nelson. Fast single high type safety who makes plays all over the field.

Sure he hasn't had 8 INTs ever, but neither had Nelson at Parker's current age.

Would rather address the position with a younger and cheaper option.

Parker is 28. He's had 6 INTs in the last 3 yrs. Nelson had 14 during that span. More than double. (Nelson had 5 INTs his first year.) Save money? KC has a small window to leverage their aging stars. Good option to compensate for the loss of Smith... if Nelson isn't out to break the bank.

[Easy 6]

Smith and now Abdullah leaves things in a bit of a mess, I'm down for this player if we can afford him... we dont want to be counting on a bunch of rookies back there

It doesn't really compensate for Smith because it's a safety, which we have already lost 2 of those this offseason alone. Would prefer to draft both positions if Nelson is going to cost more than a few million, and he will.

It helps fortify the secondary and that does help to compensate for the departure of Smith. Nobody said it completely compensates for his absence. Nelson is a known quantity. Having 2 premiere safeties makes the secondary and the entire defense better. It would be negligent for the Chiefs not to kick the tires. Salary cap is the only money issue unless your name is Clark Hunt.

I would agree. It's not that I want to save money. But doesn't make sense to me to spend on three starters at safety.

I'd rather have a value as a third safety option. If we have money to spend id rather that be on a depth corner.
