[RustShack]

QB of the future

[Why Not?]

From Hawaii. So, I’m in.

[Deberg_1990]

Nice. What can we get for Mahomes in trade?

[rabblerouser]

Nice. What can we get for Mahomes in trade?

A pulled pork sammich on a donut and a blow job.

[Why Not?]

A pulled pork sammich on a donut and a blow job.

I would trade my Mahomes jersey to my wife for that deal.

[Dante84]

Fun college highlights throwing to DK Metcalf and AJ Brown.

Strong arm and mobile, not sure about his decision making or read skills.

Possible QB2OTF?

[Kman34]

QB competition for the starting spot this year... Pat better be sharp..:D

[alpha_omega]

Sure, why not.

[Easy 6]

His St Louis BattleHawks were one of the two XFL games I watched, and it was the most entertaining of them because of his offense... if Andy wants a closer look, I’m not arguing about it

[Sassy Squatch]

Fun college highlights throwing to DK Metcalf and Hollywood Brown.

Strong arm and mobile, not sure about his decision making or read skills.

Possible QB2OTF?
Thought it was DK Metcalf and AJ Brown. Hollywood Brown is Marquise Brown.

[58-4ever]

I would trade my Mahomes jersey to my wife for that deal.

I would trade mine to your wife too.

[Dante84]

In 2 years we trade him for a 1st and a 3rd after he shows out in preseason and for 2 games after we’ve locked up the 1 seed.

[notorious]

Well, I guess this guy might give us that spark we've been looking for.

Season isn't completely lost yet. Still a chance of hope.

[Chief Northman]

Fodder of the camp

[Red Dawg]

Mahomes replacement. Contract will be too big.

[Dante84]

Thought it was DK Metcalf and AJ Brown. Hollywood Brown is Marquise Brown.

Whoops. You’re right

[Bump]

I'm guessing he has practically no chance of making the team

[rabblerouser]

I would trade my Mahomes jersey to my wife for that deal.

Why hell yes.

I'd trade my Mahomes jersey to your wife for that deal, too!

;)

[ChiefsCountry]

He plays like Alex Smith.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

One year deal

Idk, you think he can best out Shurmer?

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

So I’m guessing our cap space is almost at Zero now after this signing? Was at 555,000 before this

[rabblerouser]

He plays like Alex Smith.

Oh noes. You know how Andy loved him some Smiff.

How does Ta'amu grade out in practice??

[ModSocks]

Gonna have to cut Frank Clark now.

[rabblerouser]

Restructured Clark, moving some money around, the cap can be massaged.

I just want them to resign Sherman, pronto.

[rabblerouser]

:LOL:
ROFL
LMAO

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

The 555,000 was as of 10 AM this morning per Albert Brewer. Veach has to be close to a Jones or Watkins announcement.

[Why Not?]

I would trade mine to your wife too.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I’ve never cared so little about QB news on this team...

[ModSocks]

Can he play DT?

[rabblerouser]

The 555,000 was as of 10 AM this morning per Albert Brewer. Veach has to be close to a Jones or Watkins announcement.

He better sign Pennel and Sherman, too

[King_Chief_Fan]

He plays like Alex Smith.

he doesn't play that well

[Red Dawg]

The 555,000 was as of 10 AM this morning per Albert Brewer. Veach has to be close to a Jones or Watkins announcement.

Why?

[TimeForWasp]

I love this signing. We have our own Taysom Hill.

The Swiss Harming Knife.

He will beat out Henne.

[Sorce]

Can we trade him for a 1st round pick yet?

Eh Henne is getting paid 1.5 mil this year and it’s guaranteed

[Deberg_1990]

What’s the scouting report on him? Anyone actually watch some Battlehawks games?

[big nasty kcnut]

I can see him as a solid back up for mahomes and henne.

[SuperBowl4]

Veach putting pressure on Mahomes to retain his starting role. Brilliant!

[TimeForWasp]

I did, That's why I was excited about the signing. Coronavirus got us a playa

[hometeam]

I watched all th is guys XFL games.. he never ever made a play that jumped out to me. looked very meh.

That being said, hes a 3rd QB at best so idgaf

[Halfcan]

In 2 years we trade him for a 1st and a 3rd after he shows out in preseason and for 2 games after we’ve locked up the 1 seed.

I like this idea!

[MMXcalibur]

This makes Mahomes expendable.
Let's see if we can dig in our heels and get a 5th rounder for him in the upcoming draft.

[Spott]

Ta’amu, I’ve come to bargain.

[RustShack]

Is he better than Casey Printers?

[Red Dawg]

Mahomes is now expendable. He better keep in line or he's out!

[seclark]

Love the name
sec

[Hydrae]

One year deal

BoB likes him. Wonder what he would trade to get him back. :D

[Red Dawg]

Andy is going to make this kid a star. The plays are endless

[rabblerouser]

Is he better than Casey Printers?

I'M better than Casey Fucking Printers, and I'm fat and old.

[KChiefs1]

I watched their games & he’s as talented as Lamar Jackson.

I can see Andy having them both in the game at the same time or using him like Taysom Hill with the Saints.

[Otter]

Nice. What can we get for Mahomes in trade?

I'll beat you with a wet noodle.

[RealSNR]

I'M better than Casey Fucking Printers, and I'm fat and old.

Casey Printers was a thing awhile ago. He's definitely old, and possibly even fat.

Are you sure you're not Casey Printers?

[Chief Roundup]

Camp arm

[Dante84]

Riddick says Chiefs are eager to see what they have in him. So, Reid/Veach.

[FAX]

Perfect scout team guy considering the move by NFL copycats toward mobile quarterbacks.

FAX

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Who am I to question the QB expert. If they see something I can't argue it.

[Megatron96]

Saw this guy play a bit this year. He had some skills. Hopefully has some smarts and picks up the offense well, then in a couple years we trade him for a 2nd or a 3rd.

Couple years? He’s only signed to a one year deal

[Strongside]

Bout time we find a replacement for this Maholmes scrub.

[Simply Red]

FUCK YES GIVE IT TO ME DADDY!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

BoB likes him. Wonder what he would trade to get him back. :D

If only we had signed him earlier.

We could have traded him and our 2nd to BoB for Hopkins.


Missed opportunity.

[Beef Supreme]

I watched their games & he’s as talented as Lamar Jackson.

I can see Andy having them both in the game at the same time or using him like Taysom Hill with the Saints.

I can see Andy having him throw balls at scrubs in practice and never suit him up on game day.

We can still make a package with Watkins for the remaining 1st round draft picks they possess in this decade.

[Tribesman]

I wonder how his practice squad position pay would compare to a starting one in the XFL?

[luv]

I completely missed where we let Moore go. Did someone else pick him up, or did he go back to coaching youth sports?

[cmh6476]

doing all they can to tap into that stl market.

[DJ's left nut]

Couple years? He’s only signed to a one year deal

He'll be an exclusive rights FA under team control next year if the Chiefs elect to roster him this year.

C'mon - try to keep up with this shit if you're going to weigh in. If the Chiefs want to make this a 2 year deal at nominal cost, they can do so easily.

Tell me more about the cap catastrophe that was signing Anthony Sherman to a vet exception deal...

[The Franchise]

Hopefully this kid works out and we can have him as our primary backup next season.

[KChiefs1]

Hopefully this kid works out and we can have him as our primary backup next season.


Primary backup? No.
Will he beat out Shurmur? Sure.

[Matrix]

Well.....that was quick. Treat him right, ya'll.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Hopefully this kid works out and we can have him as our primary backup next season.

We’d have to re sign him. Henne contract is guaranteed this year but next we can get out of it

[InChiefsHeaven]

You said that last week.

[PurpleRiders51]

The Chiefs have hardly done dick to address the team this off-season and this is a move they make lol.

[srvy]

I completely missed where we let Moore go. Did someone else pick him up, or did he go back to coaching youth sports?

I think his contract ended at the new league year and is a free agent.
