The Chiefs are close to a deal with S Tyrann Mathieu, I’m told

Yes I posted it again but erection time!!!

$42 million for 3 years, per Schefter.

If there aren’t injury issues (like with any contract) it’ll be great for us. That SS robber position is perfect for him.

[Sassy Squatch]

Redmamba is a phony. A big fat phony.

[thabear04]

3 year deal 42M.

[ModSocks]

$42 million for 3 years, per Schefter.

Yuck. Would rather have had Thomas.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Man, that’s a lot per year.

Bet it’s like Watkins where he’s for sure gone after 2020.

[In58men]

Yuck. Would rather have had Thomas.

And his broken legs?

[thabear04]

Yuck. Would rather have had Thomas.

Gotta see the break down at least. But it’s better than having Rod Parker back there.

[Halfcan]

Walter Matthau would be a better signing.

[ModSocks]

And his broken legs?

Right because this guy here is a marvel of perfect health

[saphojunkie]

$14M per - same as Collins.

[SAUTO]

I'm not a fan

[New World Order]

Hated Rod Barker

[chiefforlife]

If its 3/42 thats 14 per year! Yeah i would have rather had Thomas

[carcosa]

Nice!!!!!!!

[Halfcan]

3 year deal 42M.

So we gave up Houston for a retread Saftey. :rolleyes:

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Yessssss!!!! Honey Badger is ours! He was the Chiefs top target too

[New World Order]

Now we just need to draft a corner and the secondary is looking pretty good.

[Red Dawg]

Finally something positive. That's all I ask. Help on defense.

[Kiimo]

This is sickening.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

At least it isn’t a bunch of years. They’ll be able to get out of it after 2 years.

[saphojunkie]

Can we trade for Patrick Peterson now

[dlphg9]

Thank you lord. I swear some of you guys live to bitch about anything this organization does.

[ModSocks]

So we gave up Houston for a retread Saftey. :rolleyes:

Yup. Don't like this signing at all.

It's gonna take some time to talk myself into this one...

[New World Order]

I love the signing. What's going to be the plan? He reportedly hated playing FS and likes matching up man-to-man and playing the run.

Won't Berry be down in the box, matching up with tes and playing the run?

[Red Dawg]

Walter Matthau would be a better signing.

Hes dead.

[Kiimo]

Somebody sell me on the honey badger because I thought we needed guys who can cover?

[SAUTO]

Yup. Don't like this signing at all.

It's gonna take some time to talk myself into this one...

I'm in this boat.

[Dante84]

$14M per - same as Collins.

yeah but 3 instead of 6 is a big difference.

[St. Patty's Fire]

FUCK

YES

LETS PARTY BOYS

[RunKC]

Wanted this guy the whole time. I’m so fucking happy!!!

[saphojunkie]

Thank you lord. I swear some of you guys live to bitch about anything this organization does.

Hey man - I'm really hopeful he absolutely kicks ass. Personally, I would have liked to have seen money spent elsewhere on cheaper players (multiple).

Hopefully, he stays healthy and kicks ass for the secondary.

[St. Patty's Fire]

@Run Kc

[The Franchise]

The only way I'll be comfortable with this move is if we cut Berry.

[In58men]

Fills a hole before draft, fucking love it!!!!!!!!!

[jjchieffan]

Glad to get some safety help. I hope that he's a difference maker in Spags defense. That's a ton of money for him.

[carcosa]

Y'all suck. He had a pretty good year coming off a torn ACL and he's infinitely better than what we had at safety last season. If they can make the money work then who gives a shit????

[St. Patty's Fire]

Literally me after the news

Spags will use him as a SS robber, blitzing quite often I would guess. Same role Collins used to play under him.

[Hammock Parties]

Fuck yes!!!

[comochiefsfan]

This is sickening.

Will you be saying the same thing next February when Mahomes is hoisting the Lombardi?

Don’t be a pussy. This is what going all in looks like.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I’ve wanted the Honey Badger for awhile now.

[CanadaKC]

[Graystoke]

This

Spags is going to blitz the shit out of him

im good with this, the way its been going the price is insane so fuck it. I really like these 3 year deals and cant wait to see how its structured

I think this puts to bed that Redmamba has no info but some will still take his word as gold

I didn't realize he's only 26. Feels like he's been around forever.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Are we sure Berry even sticks?

Feel like they play similar roles. But maybe they want to try Berry out full time as the FS.

[ModSocks]

Fuck no i'd rather take the chance with Berry.

[threebag]

Wish we would have held out of this free agency. Drafted and went from there. We have some young guys that need playing time. We’ll never have money at this rate.

Never have money? If that’s the case then how do they keep spending so much money every year?

Mathieu last two season: 32 games
Berry: 3

F off with this BS

[chiefforlife]

Now cut Berry and get a guy like Gipson to play FS?

I like this. It's a heck of a lot better than Landin Collins 6 years/80+ million

A) years are shorter
B) If he gets hurt they are back to square one (terrible on the backend like last year) so this is only a net gain.
C) It almost guarantees at least someone that knows how to play football on the back end will be on the field for the Chiefs when Berry is day to day for 16 games next year.

You guys wanted a DB capable of playing the slot and defending a Julian Edelman? This is the best guy available for the job.

This looks exactly like the Watkins contract. Pay him a big cap hit only in 2020 with a way out in year 3 if needed.

This was a damn good move

Rapoport saying this was our number 1 guy and we literally stole him from the Texans. He was originally gonna make around 10 mil but the Collins deal shook things up

As far as I know he's not nursing a broken leg right now like Thomas is.

Had 3 sacks, 5 TFL, 8 PD and 2 ints last year. Landon Collins had 0 sacks, 5 TFL, 4 PDs and 0 ints last year and only played 12 games. Honey Badger is 26 and Collins is 25. TM contract is 3/42 and LC contract is 6/84. So LC will still be under contract when hes 33 and TM wont even 30 when his contracts up. Definitely would say we made the right choice.

"The Chiefs were aggressive with Mathieu, who they viewed as the best and most complete safety on the free-agent market. He was the No. 1 target on their board, and they pursued him quickly once the legal tampering period began, wrapping up the agreement within eight hours."

Won't Berry be down in the box, matching up with tes and playing the run?

No. No he will not. The only "box" Berry is going to be in is the new Kenmore deluxe-sized refrigerator box that he picked up for the overpass camp ground.

Eric Berry will not be playing football in 2019. So let's all stop pretending otherwise, please. Wednesday designation coming up!

Absolutely. A damn good move. Chiefs fans are going to LOVE this cat. If he can't stay healthy (his only knock in my book), we move on without our cap being screwed for years. Great risk/reward.

"I want to be paid more than this safety who never even sees the field."

I’ll take Tyrann at 3/42 a million times before I take Collins at 6/84. And most know that I wanted Collins pretty bad.

The problem I have with this theory is that Veach has to prove he'll do that.

All this while significantly overpaying a free agent safety this year.

His contract is very similar to Watkins in length and overall money.

I bet his cap hit is $6.8 million this season, which would still give us a little over 1$16 million.

What do you not get? Here let me spell it out for you

-Mathieu is excellent in the middle of the field, especially the short and intermediate levels.
-Patriots are our competition to go the SB.
-Tom Brady is 42 this year
-Tom Brady isn’t throwing deep anymore. The middle of the field IS his best territory.
-Fuller+Mathieu=best bets at defending the middle of the field inside the numbers.

He isn't here as THE answer. He's here as a stopgap. You can still draft a Safety, find a big role for that rookie safety, and get a ton of production out of Mathieu at the same time. We are overpaying for players the next 2-3 years so we have the flexibility to jump ship if we need to. The cap the next 2 years doesn't matter that much as long as we build in the flexibility to open it up for Mahomes when we need it. We're doing that.

What do you not get? Here let me spell it out for you

-Mathieu is excellent in the middle of the field, especially the short and intermediate levels.
-Patriots are our competition to go the SB.
-Tom Brady is 42 this year
-Tom Brady isn’t throwing deep anymore. The middle of the field IS his best territory.
-Fuller+Mathieu=best bets at defending the middle of the field inside the numbers.

Yep. He can also tackle out of the backfield like a mad man.

This is who I wanted pre-FA.

Thrilled with the signing.

Safety position was probably the worst on the team

Chiefs sign a legit free agent safety

??????Same money they just saved by cutting Houston. I think the defense will be better with the honey badger over an aging Houston.

With other Safeties being approached by the Chiefs IN ADDITION to our newest acquisition.

Who said we are approaching more safeties?

Fair.

But remember this as you watch teams throw over him in man coverage. It happens often enough, thus why I’m curious as to how Spags deploys him. He is not a true FS by the traditional definition.

The same people who complain about this would have been bitching about them ‘not doing enough’ had they signed someone like Boston or Gipson for half the price. You can’t please them.

Now, I’d be pretty sick too if it were the same deal Collins got. But three years (probably 2 in reality) isn’t bad.

What was the original tweet? God damn it, O City, this is why you fucking embed.

Ive got it on a text.

Said it feels like berry has played his last snap for the chiefs. Not that they couldn't play together but a lot of money and the chiefs were still calling on other safeties(Amos)

Exactly. WTF is wrong with these people? Do they think we're going to hang on to Berry or something? And what makes them think that HB is coming in to play FS/SH?

From what I've seen, this guy is the exact opposite of the Turd Parade we've been trotting out at Safety for two seasons. Do these idiots want Ron Parker and a rookie? Yeah, no thanks.

Now, get me a solid, Vet CB on the cheap to go with my draft pick along with a Safety and a Omenihu, and I'm all good.

you're not interested in any 4-3 Linebackers? What do the Chiefs have at LBer right now that can play in a 4-3... Hitchens? DOD (unproven but hyped) and...? I don't think there's another 4-3 LBer they can trust on this roster besides those two? Reggie Ragland? LOL he's horrible. That undersized white guy everyone loves around here? What's his name again? Weston Dressler?

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Can Berry still play over the top? Can Berry still....play football?


The Berry situation pisses me off as he is one of my favorites. Would be thrilled if he took a pay cut and could help this team bring home a Lombardi.

[SAUTO]

@Eric_Edholm: It feels like Eric Berry has played his final snap for the Chiefs.

Not that he and Mathieu couldn’t pair together ... but that’s too much money in one spot (and Chiefs reportedly calling on other safeties, such as Adrian Amos).

1. It is embedded...

2. O city?

I'd have been very happy with that. Would rathered Clinton-Dix than both of those. I think Mathieu is a solid player but I think Houston was paying pretty much max on him at 10 per. 14 per is ridiculous.

I've addressed three spots with my picks. And you can count on on C or G coming in to play with one of the others. And, don't be surprised if they pick up a TE in this draft as well.

That's 5 picks. Where does your LB come in?

Several years ago I did a safari in Botswana. Never heard much about the honey badger. Was too busy looking for lions, leopards, rhinos, etc. Saw all of them. It was great. We were on our last game drive before leaving and our guide spotted something - his eyes lit up. It was a honey badger. He had been tracking game in the bush for a decade and it was only his third time ever seeing one of them. Lions and impalas and zebras and giraffes and whatever? Yawn. Who cares. This was special.

Don't fuck with a honey badger indeed.

Well, we're also teetering on the precipice of losing 2/3 of our pass rush capability, Mr. Jerok.

It's like that game where you stack the blocks and try to remove one without tipping the whole damn thing over so you lose control over your fragile emotions and start hurling blocks at your beautiful wife in a disproportionate rage. It's like that.

They offered $11M, but it sounded like he wasn’t going to leave for just a bit more. Loved Houston.

Idk man, we could go back and forth on pros and cons for days. I think he’s a got true Pro Bowl potential and could be a big piece in getting them that elusive Super Bowl.

At least they aren’t sitting on their hands.
