I really like this move. The guy was a nice rookie back in 2018. Nice cheap pick up to compete for the WR 4/5 job

Hopefully he straightens his shit out so he can actually play.

Million dollar athlete, $5 brain. Good luck.

Talented, off the field issues. Yup, he checks all of the boxes

I loved the kid in Cleveland until the distractions got out of hand. We were still scarred from Josh Gordon, so AC's shelf-life was short.

Great "functional football speed" and can track a deep ball with anyone... provided he got the play call right.

MAHOMO 4 LIFE!

Veach making some damn good moves

Love it.

Wonder how much of this is to get some inside intel on CLE. Granted, he played for freddie kitchens. But still.

If I remember correctly from Hard Knocks, this was Todd Haley's boy! Told Landry to take him under his shoulder as he was a ridiculous talent but needed to keep his nose clean off the field. If he has straightened himself out could be a homerun if he is with us next year.

If Veach/Reid like Callaway, I can only imagine how much they’re going to love Kadarius Toney.

This is one of the benefits of having a structured, successful locker room....

It's keeps reclamation projects on the straight and narrow...they know it's an opportunity to succeed...and leadership to hold them accountable.

Didn't Dorsey draft him...as a Hill type of WR?

He had potential...had forgotten about him. I remember him being fast...

I like it. Talented player..no risk.

Either he does what we tell him to do or he is kicked to the curb.

Super talented, but can't help himself stay out of trouble.

Couldn't hang on in Miami this year, a team that isn't deep at WR.

Toney would be another versatile toy in this offense. He significantly improved as a WR this past season.

He’s on my very short list in the 1st.

Hill/Hardman/Toney as our WR trio for at least the next couple years would give me serious wood.

I like the idea of Toney in a KC uniform.


Defenses would be done.

Antonio probably also knows all the dirt on Baker. We can use that.

He's basically Hill without the world-class speed.

Yea between that and a couple of improvements on the OL, I think we would legitimately be unstoppable.

So he's Dante Hall

The most intriguing part of his game for me is his after the catch ability. He reminds me of Kamara with the ball in his hands the way he glides around the field and awkwardly bounces of tacklers.

Rapist.

Don't like the move.

Dante Hall never had more than 40 catches or reached 500yds receiving in a season.

Guy appears talented.

Also appears to be a bit of a headcase. Andy is the king of giving guys like this a second chance. Guess we'll see if he can turn yet another guy around.

With out world class speed you're talking about a Dante likeness

Don't like the move.

He said...he was to high to rape anyone...yes that was his defense.

Sounds like a real dipshit. Doesn't look like a good character guy from what ive seen of him on camera. Talent seems ok, not great.

Low floor, high ceiling move. I hope it works out. The kind of player ive always wanted the Chiefs to take flyers on. If it works out, we win. If not, 7-11 is hiring and they probably dont drug test.

With Robinson and Watkins in a contract year we gotta have some speed waiting in the wings. Enter Antonio Callaway. Cheap low-risk, high-reward move. Veach doing what he does.

Reminds me of the time when my buddy got stabbed through his car window, when the cops finally caught the guy he acknowledged the incident but said he didn't stab him, because "if he would have stabbed him, he would have made sure he killed him".

Yeah, he went prison for a long time.

Speed kills. Hope it works out. Go Veach!

I looked up the case. What he said in his version of events was that he was so high he wasn't wanting sex and she was the instigator. Didn't see any quote about him saying "he was too high to rape anyone". He was cleared of the charge.

We've signed this piece of shit!


(also, last castoff guy we signed broke his femur running down the field. Can't be a good sign. I say he'd better not get too used to having both clavicles intact)

I like Pringle. Hell, I'd prefer we use him more over Robinson right now...

KC needs to get Pringle tons more snaps...he’s been productive and tough with YAC.

According to Chiefs Digest’s Matt Derrick, the Chiefs will add DE Austin Edwards to their 16-man practice squad. Edwards was one of the seven players that the team had in for a visit on Tuesday. His contract with the Atlanta Falcons for the 2019 season expired just this past Monday, making him free to sign with any team.

After watching the film segment above, it looks as though the Browns would have cut Kareem Hunt just like we did if he lied to them...

Fair enough. Hope he really didn't do it so I can feel better about this.
