Eric Fisher's 4-year extension is worth $48 million, including $40 million gtd. The six years he now has left on deal total $63 million.

Wow.

The Chiefs only major FA's next year are Berry/Poe. And we have a projected 11 draft picks with the comps.

Well done Dorsey.

This year, he's with the Rams.

Kush was never given a chance at lg iirc. Not sure why. Oh well. Nice guy though

They just pretty much plugged Ehinger in at LG immediately. I think Fulton ran with the 1's for like one day.

Fulton is solid, but his strength is as a backup. He can play all three interior spots, that's so valuable to have. Let Ehinger take down the LG spot, I feel comfortable with Fulton as the rover.

No doubt. I was just shocked at how quick they gave Ehinger the job, and excited to see what he can do.

I mean can you imagine if he comes in right away and is an above average starter?

This line will be really ****ing good.

Everybody is talking about the Raiders OL, but ours might not be that far behind, and it's nowhere near as expensive. I like our OT's better, but they definitely have a better interior. I'd rather spend the money and have the talent at the OT's though.

I think this extension bodes well for extending Poe next year.

If he plays well in 2016, I think there's a very good chance Dorsey will get him extended before hitting the open market. They've proven to be a great organization under Dorsey and have been consistent winners. If they can take another step this season (which I'll be shocked if they don't), Poe's not going to find a better situation in the NFL.

Well they were giving Fat Scott's highly invested offensive line draft picks every chance to not suck and solidify themselves as consistent players.

Remember when they gave Stephenson the "car keys" to LT at the end of the season Albert was set to be a FA. LOL then he got suspended going into the season he was going to start. What a turd.

Jeff Allen too, they tried him at LG, RG, Center, RT, they gave him a shot at every position but towel fluffler and he goes out and farts for a couple games until he hurts a toenail.

They finally purged themselves of that crap and they can put their guys in exactly where they want them to.

Dude, I'll take it if he's even average. And if he's healthy and consistent, the line will be so much more stable and effective than at any time in the past decade or more.

Would be nice for the ol not to suck ass. Interested to see Charles behind a decent ol

Dorsey drafted Kush though.

Just Charles? Ware and West too. If this OL plays up to its potential we should have the #1 rushing offense. I believe we were top 3-5 last year.

But Reid...

you can't hit on everyone and sometimes you do miss.

Totally agree just pointing that out.

Reid has always gotten slack for it, but his run pass ratio was pretty good last year iirc.

Charles could have an mvp type year if the line is as good as hoped.

I just hope Morse can shake the concussion problem he had last year. I half-expected him to retire after the season.

Definitely, but with him you just know there will be times when he doesn't commit to the run like he should.
