*RUMOR*: Eagles expected to cut C Jason Kelce

[Dante84]

Used the Rumor tag, as there seemed to be mixed feelings on the validity. Don’t kill the messenger.

If so, natural fit next year.

[comochiefsfan]

Yes please.

[Frazod]

I'm sure it would make Travis happy.

[Chief Northman]

The money he would command on a one-year deal would still be steep, and nothing against Jason but he is nowhere near the player he was even two or three years ago.

[Easy 6]

Done deal, bank it

[comochiefsfan]

The money he would command on a one-year deal would still be steep, and nothing against Jason but he is nowhere near the player he was even two or three years ago.He's close to retirement anyway.

You don't think he'd sign on the cheap to chase a championship with his brother? That's an experience that money couldn't buy.

THREEPEAT MOTHER FUCKERS

[smithandrew051]

We sign this piece of shit yet?

[Mahomes_Is_God]

He is ours!

[Dante84]

Some very, very angry Eagles fans in the comments calling bullshit, but they don’t have any reasons or sources to say differently.

[chiefzilla1501]

I think he would. Judging by his reaction in his last few games in Philly, dude still loves to play and badly wants to win. After he soured on Pederson, seems only natural to go to a coach he trusts in Andy Reid.

[Mahomes_Is_God]

We sign this piece of shit yet?

You show the brother of Travis Kelce some mother fucking respect, mother fucker!

[chiefzilla1501]

Some very, very angry Eagles fans in the comments calling bullshit, but they don’t have any reasons or sources to say differently.

Most speculated that the late night on-field session between Wentz, Ertz, Kelce was because Ertz and Kelce had played their last game in Philly. Maybe firing pederson changed that but I doubt it. I doubt the Eagles can afford them even if they wanted to come back.

[smithandrew051]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

[The Franchise]

Get him here.

[Easy 6]

Get him here.

This. He already made some money. Can't think of why he wouldn't join us in a spot that we desperately need filled. I'm sure a reasonable deal can be reached.

[BossChief]

This would be an amazing pickup on a 1-2 year deal.

[-King-]

How did you even find @NFLrums and why would you trust them to know anything?

[BossChief]

Huge bonus if this happens...

If cut, Kelce wouldn’t count on the comp pick formula...so, we could sign him and let Reiter walk in free agency (he will get paid. He was the #5 rated pass blocking center last year) so we could get a nice comp pick while upgrading.

Sign me the fuck up.

If this doesn’t happen, I could see us making a run at the center from GB.

[thabear04]

Wouldn’t mind on a 1 year deal for Vet minimum.

[Dante84]

How did you even find @NFLrums and why would you trust them to know anything?

High engagement on the tweet, decent sized follower base, account has notable followers.

Beyond that, we’ll see.

Usually if an account has low follower count and nobody worth a damn following it, I ignore it.

[Chief Northman]

Only makes sense for the Eagles if they designate him a post June 1 cut. If they release him before then, they are on the hook for $10 million of dead money and only save 1.5 million on the cap. After June 1, the number changes to just over 2 million dead money, but they create a savings of $5.5 million dollars.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

[Pants]

You show the brother of Travis Kelce some mother fucking respect, mother fucker!

Cuck

[BigRedChief]

I'm sure it would make Travis happy.doesn’t Mahomes really like Reiter?

[Tribal Warfare]

Sign him Carl!

[Titty Meat]

In for da 1k

[Pants]

doesn’t Mahomes really like Reiter?

How is that relevant? Mahomes also like Dieter a lot. You gonna start him at WR?

[bringbackmarty]

I always thought Swami Kelce would do a stint here with his slightly more talented brother. Did Reid draft him? TLTLIU. He seems to be a lot like M. Morse, Reiter, obviously has a lot of experience. Does he have the ganas, the work ethic or is he a slob? How'd he play this year.

Only watched two PHI games, iirc. But i watched Jason a bit. He looked pretty good from what I remember.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
Also with the QB issues/controversy they have, the last thing they'd want to do is get rid of a center as good and smart as Kelce is. All that would do is likely put more on the plate of Wentz and Hurd as far as making line calls and protection audibles.

[wazu]

I trust Bart is all over it.

[Why Not?]

I Does he have the ganas, the work ethic or is he a slob?

I don't think a lot of lazy slobs earn first team all pro designations 3x.

Well seeing as he's probably headed to the HOF when he's done, I'd say the other Kelce is pretty good.

[RealSNR]

Does he actually have anything left in the tank, or is he Ben Grubbs?

[mkp785]

Does he actually have anything left in the tank, or is he Ben Grubbs?

He made 1st team all pro the last 3 years in a row and he's still only 33....

[Prison Bitch]

Does it stop us from getting Patrick Peterson?

[Mahomes_Is_God]

Does it stop us from getting Patrick Peterson?

Does your brain tumor make you say smart things? Kelce is our man.

[BossChief]

Does he actually have anything left in the tank, or is he Ben Grubbs?

He’s been in the pro bowl and/or all pro the last 5 years and 6 out of the last 7.

He good.

[TinyEvel]

Veach will sign him for 14 shares of GameStop, 2 silver bullion and and a case of Jolt cola.

[J Diddy]

How is that relevant? Mahomes also like Dieter a lot. You gonna start him at WR?

maybe he just likes guys whose last names rhyme with Peter??

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Why does everybody hate Reiter so much? Wasn't he starting Center on a 14-2 team playing in the SB??

What was his PFF ranking?

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Why does everybody hate Reiter so much? Wasn't he starting Center on a 14-2 team playing in the SB??

No one hates Reiter. He was the best pass blocking Center in all of the NFL however his contract expired and he will command a lot

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

No one hates Reiter. He was the best pass blocking Center in all of the NFL however his contract expired and he will command a lot

Well then Veach needs to work his magic and keep him around. Why would we want to downgrade the position???? Our OL is in shambles as it is.

[RollChiefsRoll]

I trust Bart is all over it.

Reiter doesn't rhyme with Peter.

[Chargem]

Spotrac has him getting 11m per year in free agency, just can't afford him.

[Chris Meck]

Why does everybody hate Reiter so much? Wasn't he starting Center on a 14-2 team playing in the SB??

What was his PFF ranking?

1) I'm not high on Reiter. I think he's below average. Decent pass blocker, shit run blocker.

2)yes, he's starting on a SB team.

3)PFF is bullshit entirely.

[Chris Meck]

If Kelce wants to come chase a ring with his little brother, I'd say sure, but we can't pay market value.

Did we sign Justin Britt? I know we worked him out. If he's healthy, he's also a good veteran option, and coming off the injury would be cost effective.

Either means we can fill that hole and not have to worry about it in this draft.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This. I just don't see paying Reiter anywhere near $11M, PFF be damned. A 1-year deal below market would be OK with me. That said, we need to find a long term C along with at least one OT. I don't want any Cs or OTs that do better at G drafted, just real live Cs and OTs please.

[O.city]

Kelce on a nice little 2 year deal or something woudl be great.

[RunKC]

Just looked at his contract at over the cap and it doesn’t look like he can be cut without them losing money.

The post June 1st cut designation would save them roughly $2.6 million this year but they’d still have to pay him over $7 million until 2024. They could do that in a lump sum but based on their awful cap situation I severely doubt they can.

[O.city]

Whats his current contract situation?

Flip them a 5th for him

[In58men]

Whats his current contract situation?

Flip them a 5th for him

And a pack of smokes.

[duncan_idaho]

They’d have to designate him as a post June 1 cut to move on from him, it looks like.

Would save them 5.5M against the 21 cap. They need to save a bunch, so maybe they do something like.

Kelce only counts that $5.5M base salary if he’s traded. Pretty good deal on a trade, too.

Honestly, the Eagles would be a good trade target. Kelce is a great fit for KC and they have a bunch of other players who may be trade/cap casualties.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

HAVE WE SIGNED THIS PIECE OF SHAT YET

[CoMoChief]

Im sure they'd love to play together. I'm sure they've dreamt that since they were kids playing in the backyard.

Man..How cool would that be?

[smithandrew051]

According to PFF, Reiter hasn’t allowed a sack since the Super Bowl last year.

Since it came from PFF, I immediately don’t believe it but impressive if true.

Probably also speaks to how few great interior pass rushers there are. We’re very lucky to have Chris Jones.

Here is the list of DTs with 7 or more sacks in 2020:

1. Aaron Donald 13.5
2. Deforest Buckner 9.5
3. Chris Jones 7.5
4. Quinnen Williams 7

[RealSNR]

Man, I know salaries across the board are constantly rising, but $11 million AAV is Rodney Hudson money. If I weren’t a chiefs fan and my team offered that to Reiter, I’d be kinda pissed. I’d prefer just to draft a guy and hope for the best.

For that kind of cash, I’d at least expect to see some better run blocking from my center.

People of other teams will see him as "Chiefs C, they had a great offense, lets sign him" he'll go elsewhere and be meh. Was always the case with Pat castoffs or Colts during Manning etc.

Its amazing how this happens nearly every year. An offense or defense is elite and NFL teams pick off and pay players that are more role player/pieces and not usually catalysts of the unit being elite.

It's interesting in that there may be a nice market for some vets this offseason if you wanna trade for them.

[luv]

He's close to retirement anyway.

You don't think he'd sign on the cheap to chase a championship with his brother? That's an experience that money couldn't buy.

Any sort of story angle the press can use. Last year was Patrick's redemption from the 2018/2019 AFC Championship game. This year is the goat vs. the kid before the goat retires and the kid becomes the goat. Next year could totally be the Kelce brothers. I'd be all for that.

[htismaqe]

Am I the only one that's not really interested in Kelce?

I mean yeah, if they cut him, do your due diligence but this team has so many needs and, potentially, very little money.

[staylor26]

Am I the only one that's not really interested in Kelce?

I mean yeah, if they cut him, do your due diligence but this team has so many needs and, potentially, very little money.

I mean I don’t think anybody expects a bigger offseason free agency move than this. It’s not like we aren’t going to make any moves whatsoever, and I don’t think this would necessarily break the bank. It’s probably a significantly cheaper option than re-signing Reiter.

[O.city]

Am I the only one that's not really interested in Kelce?

They'll need a C as Reiter is probably gone. Kelce would be a bandaid for a while.

[KChiefs1]

Nice 2-3 year pickup while breaking in a rookie.

[htismaqe]

They'll need a C as Reiter is probably gone. Kelce would be a bandaid for a while.

He's not going to come cheap, especially if they have to trade for him.

If they're going the band-aid route, they need to get cheaper.

[O.city]

He's not going to come cheap, especially if they have to trade for him.

If they're going the band-aid route, they need to get cheaper.

Just depends on the salary.

If they're gonna have a new RT and LT they need some vets somewhere. Here's a chance to get a really good one.

[Easy 6]

He's not going to come cheap, especially if they have to trade for him.

If they're going the band-aid route, they need to get cheaper.

My hope would be that he takes a steep discount to play with his brother, and end his career with the best team in the league

[htismaqe]

My hope would be that he takes a steep discount to play with his brother, and end his career with the best team in the league

He's got a ring and multiple all-pro's. He knows what he's worth. I don't see him taking a steep discount but that's just me.

[T-post Tom]

Might make things awkward.

Travis: “What’s up? Your passes have been off target all day.”

Patrick: “Um yeah, your brother’s sweaty ass is making the ball slippery.”

:)

[Easy 6]

He's got a ring and multiple all-pro's. He knows what he's worth. I don't see him taking a steep discount but that's just me.

Yeah he certainly doesn't have to, but there is still a sliver of hope that those non-monetary incentives entice him

It'd be a great way to keep us from burning a 3rd on a center for a few years... fingers crossed

[Pitt Gorilla]

They'll need a C as Reiter is probably gone. Kelce would be a bandaid for a while.

Why would Reiter be gone? He's consistent as hell, but he's not an All Pro or anything. He's certainly worth more to the Chiefs than he likely is to anyone else.

[staylor26]

A lot of this depends on how the Chiefs view Allegretti long term.

Do they seem him staying at LG or moving to C?

[O.city]

Why would Reiter be gone? He's consistent as hell, but he's not an All Pro or anything. He's certainly worth more to the Chiefs than he likely is to anyone else.

Someone projected he'd make quite a big salary on the market so I doubt the Chiefs wanna pay that.

[htismaqe]

Why would Reiter be gone? He's consistent as hell, but he's not an All Pro or anything. He's certainly worth more to the Chiefs than he likely is to anyone else.

He's a FA and projected to make $10-11M on the open market.

I mean yeah, if they cut him, do your due diligence but this team has so many needs and, potentially, very little money.

This is kind of where im at, a player in a tight off season at a largely non impact posistion. If he was vet min or a little better sure, if not try to resign kilgore reasonably.

[gblowfish]

Has Kelce had any concussion issues? I know there was talk about the Chiefs going after Mitch Morse in Buffalo and bringing him back, but his head is questionable. Maybe best to spend a #3 pick on a Center this year?

[htismaqe]

They let Morse go because he was too expensive at that time. I don't see them bringing him back now when money is even tighter.

I think the Chiefs will get at least one IOL in the draft UDFA. I also think they like to develop young guys on the practice squad like Williams, Whitman, and Omameh. Even Wanogho (sp?) was signed to a futures contract. It's how they do business and it makes a ton of sense on the IOL.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Chiefs fans have severely underrated Reiter

Oh, I agree completely. I've been talking up him AND Wylie since the second half of last season (after having previously shat on them). Both have played a lot better over the past year+. Chief Fan simply doesn't like to change his mind on a position, even with new data.

Reiter's snaps have been outstanding all along as well. Even with all the good, he's still not a plus player. I mean, he's above replacement level, but I don't see that being worth 10+ million. Who knows, though?

Williams was cut from the PS weeks ago, although he did sign a Future's Contract recently.

Reiter is like Dan Sorensen.

CPer's "cut him" every year in their mock drafts and have proclaimed that he "sucks" since joining the team back in 2013, but Sorensen just continues to make the big plays whenever necessary.

Unless the Chiefs luck out with a UDFA, Vet Minimum player or in the draft, Reiter's value will be blatantly apparent if he ends up elsewhere.

[Dunerdr]

Kilgore isn't a scheme fit, which is why when healthy, Reiter has been the starter.

To be clear im not advocating for it, but i figure theyll go the route of a cheap serviceable vet, or draft. Cost control is going to be important in the future, Maybe Allegretti or one of these guys takes over? I just dont see going after an aging Kelce unless the price is right or resigning Reiter at the projected cost. Kilgore wasnt on a team until late in camp if i remember right? Or early in the season and was serviceable. That screams CHEAP to me.

Kilgore is fine in the ground game but he's well below average in Pass Pro, which is why Reid replaced him just as soon as Reiter was available to return.

The Chiefs are basically 70/30 when it comes to pass vs. rush ratio, which is not Kilgore's strength as a center.

If Wanogho would catch on that'd be a game changer. Finding a franchise 23 yr old LT off the scrapheap would save this team a fortune for the next few years. If he hits they need to build a statue of Veach outside of Arrowhead.

For whatever reason, Chief Fan prefers the run-blockers, even though Pat is the cornerstone of our franchise. Reiter's strengths play really well with what we do.

[Chris Meck]

Well, I think we could at least agree that Reiter is not worth paying big money.

So that means we need to look at other options.

Kelce's good, but long in the tooth, and likely still pricey.

Britt, if healthy, is also a good player, and is 29.

And then there's the draft.

I'd definitely roll the dice on Britt, especially if they go young with the tackles.

[O.city]

Britt is meh.

If that's the route they wanna go, just draft one in the mid rounds (2nd maybe) and play that guy.

I don't think planning on 3 rookie starters is wise, but that's just me.

[staylor26]

It would be so nice if Niang can come in and start.

It’s certainly possible. I think people either forgot or don’t know how good of a prospect he was when healthy.

Dude was rock solid against Young/Bosa.

Him and Allegretti can give you 2 starters on rookie deals. Draft another or maybe even 2 this year.

I’m kind of excited about rebuilding the OL. We could get a very talented cheap group that allows us to use our money elsewhere.

[staylor26]

I don't think planning on 3 rookie starters is wise, but that's just me.

They don’t have to start day 1. Some can be brought along slowly.

It’s just about getting young cheap talent in there and filling it out with guys like Remmers and Wylie.

[DaneMcCloud]

Thought that was Wanogho. Pretty sure Darryl is still on PS.

Chiefs release OL Darryl Williams from practice squad

https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/01/14/kansas-city-chiefs-darryl-williams-released-practice-squad/

According to the NFL’s official transaction report, the Chiefs have released OL Darryl Williams from their 16-man practice squad. The team has made a number of moves on the practice squad this week, shuffling their roster ahead of their divisional-round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.

Williams had originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State following the 2020 NFL draft. He didn’t make the 53-man roster out of training camp but was among the players signed to the practice squad initially. He’d spend the entire regular-season on the practice squad. Despite the ability to use a standard elevation on Williams, he was not among the players elevated to the 53-man roster during the course of the season.

The decision to release Williams comes after the team signed DE Austin Edwards to the practice squad. They needed the free spot and this seems to be a numbers game, with two centers on the 53-man roster already and OL’s Bryan Witzmann and Patrick Omameh both also on the practice squad.

Williams appears to be more of a long-term developmental prospect than someone the Chiefs felt confident in calling up this season. Look for him to rejoin the team on a reserve/future contract with the team assuming he clears waivers.

They don’t have to start day 1. Some can be brought along slowly.

It’s just about getting young cheap talent in there and filling it out with guys like Remmers and Wylie.

I am 100% in favor of young new cheap talent on the offensive line.

[O.city]

I don't think planning on 3 rookie starters is wise, but that's just me.

We may just have to. It's not ideal, but if you're coming off back to back superbowls, it may be time for a bit of a reset. If anyone can scheme around a young OL, it would be this staff.

[ModSocks]

We're starting 4 backups in the damn SB. WTF difference does it make starting some rookies next year? Ha.

Exactly

[BossChief]

This is kind of where im at, a player in a tight off season at a largely non impact posistion. If he was vet min or a little better sure, if not try to resign kilgore reasonably.

Center is possibly the most underrated positions in the nfl. Colin Cowherd mentions this quite often that if a starting center is ruled out for a game, the point spread changes more than almost any other position.

[O.city]

It would be so nice if Niang can come in and start.

It’s certainly possible. I think people either forgot or don’t know how good of a prospect he was when healthy.

Dude was rock solid against Young/Bosa.

Him and Allegretti can give you 2 starters on rookie deals. Draft another or maybe even 2 this year.

I’m kind of excited about rebuilding the OL. We could get a very talented cheap group that allows us to use our money elsewhere.

He's gonna have to play somewhere.

I'm hoping Schwartz ends up coming back and Niang coudl play LT.

[BossChief]

I think Niang could, but he was mostly on the right side in college.

Chiefs release OL Darryl Williams from practice squad

https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/01/14/kansas-city-chiefs-darryl-williams-released-practice-squad/

According to the NFL’s official transaction report, the Chiefs have released OL Darryl Williams from their 16-man practice squad. The team has made a number of moves on the practice squad this week, shuffling their roster ahead of their divisional-round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.

Williams had originally signed on with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi State following the 2020 NFL draft. He didn’t make the 53-man roster out of training camp but was among the players signed to the practice squad initially. He’d spend the entire regular-season on the practice squad. Despite the ability to use a standard elevation on Williams, he was not among the players elevated to the 53-man roster during the course of the season.

The decision to release Williams comes after the team signed DE Austin Edwards to the practice squad. They needed the free spot and this seems to be a numbers game, with two centers on the 53-man roster already and OL’s Bryan Witzmann and Patrick Omameh both also on the practice squad.

Williams appears to be more of a long-term developmental prospect than someone the Chiefs felt confident in calling up this season. Look for him to rejoin the team on a reserve/future contract with the team assuming he clears waivers.

Perhaps someone should let the Chiefs know that.

Wanogho has all the talent in the world. He's simply been injured. It'll be interesting to see if he can rehab into a good player.

He easily had the talent to be taken in the 1st in his class-which was a good one. Philly hardly gave him the chance to catch on due to them being a clown show this year. I'm quietly hopeful that Veach might've found something. Same as with the Baker pickup. These dudes have a ton of talent, they just need to mine it out.

I agree here. That's one of the reasons I'd like to get Kelce if possible. We get together a young, raw, talented group and give them a likely HOF leader like him to help get everyone working their asses off. I'm all about that if Philly is dumb enough to let Kelce go for nothing.

"Perhaps someone should let the Chiefs know that."

Different D. Williams. First name spelled differently than the running back.

[Frazod]

Damn, how bad do you have to suck to get dumped off the practice squad when our OLine is a complete mess right now?

[Toad]

It will interesting to see how the OC position shapes up.

Love to see J Kelce in red, but just too steep. And Why would he take less than what he is worth? He has a ring and multiple pro bowls.

Britt is a contingency if they cannot draft one.

As it turns out, he was cut from the PS on January 14th but he was re-signed to the Practice Squad on January 27th.

He'd get an excellent shot at another ring, plus get to play on the best team in the league with his brother. He's already sitting on a mountain of money. But all the money in the world can't buy you a Super Bowl ring.

I think we can get lots of talented veterans who already have bank but want to win it all. Just like Bell. Sure they'll only be here a year or two, but that's a revolving door I can live with.

[Chris Meck]

We don't really have a choice at the moment.

We have what, 7 months to get a better situation together for next season.

I think we WILL. I'm just saying it would be preferable not to be in this situation in next year's Super Bowl.

To win a Superbowl with his brother. Which to my knowledge has never happened in NFL history. They probably grew up talking about winning a title together. If that wasn't enough we're gonna have a huge hole here if they let Rieter leave (which they should).

Wait, what?

[mkp785]

Wait, what?

?

He had the talent to be taken in the first round. Read some his scouting reports.

Baker was 1 of the more talented DBs in his class. He just made a stupid decision.

Both of them are great pick-ups and can be all pros if they can be taught to use their abilities.

No, the one I referenced was on the PS.

You actually have to make it to the Super Bowl first.

Starting 3 rookies on the offensive line for an entire season could potentially derail a 3-peat.

We're stuck for the SB but we don't have to be going into next season.

Can he play tackle Sunday?

I saw him at Blockbuster in Leawood last night. He said he was looking at milfs.

[RedRaider56]

He likes to party during SB parades..perfect fit for the team

[ChiefAshhole1056]

I’m sure he’d want to play for Andy again as well, just too many things make sense for this to happen. Really does come down to if he’s willing to okay another season and at a discounted rate, but I think KC has reached the point with PM and AR that players want to come here and are willing to come cheap to do so.

Doughs ($) before bros...
He can spend quality time with his bro during the off-season and he already has a ring.

Gonna need to fill that hole with cheaper dirt.
