This place might implode

[htismaqe]

ROFL

[htismaqe]

This place might implode

It's already starting.

[The Franchise]

I can only guess that Andrews price is too high and they don’t want to NEED a center going into the draft. Doesn’t stop them from taking one but I’m still not fan of bringing him back.

[stevieray]

In Bart they trust

[Deberg_1990]

Yes!

[Mecca]

The Dolphins are apparently throwing money at Andrews.

[staylor26]

This really isn’t a bad option as long as he’s not too expensive and they draft a guy as well.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Reiter honestly wasn’t bad at all. Super bow different story tho

[Sassy Squatch]

Meh. He'll probably look a hell of a lot better not having to play next to that fucking worthless sack of shit Wylie.

[BigChiefFan]

Wow. The front office isn’t exactly swinging for the fences.

[staylor26]

Wow. The front office isn’t exactly swinging for the fences.

Yea they signed an All-Pro G and went after the best T in the market, but they clearly aren’t swinging for the fences!

[O.city]

I mean, he’s fine. Not crazy expensive I’d guess.

Go for it

[Cosmos]

ROFL

Veach workin it...LMAOLMAOLMAO

[RunKC]

Reiter was pretty good in pass pro and that’s a lot better than expected. He’s much better than Wylie.

Playing next to Thuney should be great for him. Playing next to Thuney AND Long will be even better for the 5 games that happens until Long gets sent to the glue factory again

I’m all for it

[The Franchise]

How much does he cost though?

[BossChief]

I hope the offer is for like 2/10 or less.

[Mecca]

How much does he cost though?

More than he should would be my guess.

[BigChiefFan]

Yea they signed an All-Pro G and went after the best T in the market, but they clearly aren’t swinging for the fences!

“Went after” and obtaining aren’t exactly equal. I’d like to see our O-Line and entire team...IMPROVED. That stance shouldn’t be an issue.

[Kman34]

Meh... Spaghetti would be better...

[Cosmos]

I’m all for it

Until he sucks the life out of Thuney and makes Thuney a JAG.

This is NOT improving the OL....

[The Franchise]

Ted Karras got $4 million from the Pats. Reiter better not be much more that.

[BossChief]

Wow. The front office isn’t exactly swinging for the fences.
:facepalm:

You were better as a lurker.
More than he should would be my guess.

Well, you’re an eternal pessimist so we kinda expected that response.

I understand, though...I’m the eternal optimist so we are ying and yang.

[staylor26]

“Went after” and obtaining aren’t exactly equal. I’d like to see our O-Line and entire team...IMPROVED. That stance shouldn’t be an issue.

They got 1, and “going after” is literally “taking a swing”.

They took 2 huge swings and got 1 HR. Yea it wasn’t the HR we preferred, but they tried.

That’s the definition of swinging for the fences.

[tredadda]

One of the reasons we expected to lose Reiter was because was expected to get paid pretty well on the open market. Is he Hudson? Nope. Not sure there were many better options available that were better at this point. We really only missed out on Williams, but considering what he got for the length he got it was probably for the better. We can still address the C position in the draft, it's just not as big of a need anymore.

[staylor26]

More than he should would be my guess.

Your vagina has been bleeding all day. You need a tampon.

[BossChief]

“Went after” and obtaining aren’t exactly equal. I’d like to see our O-Line and entire team...IMPROVED. That stance shouldn’t be an issue.

The grape juice boxes you like are in the garage fridge. Go play with your friends, champ.

Because I don’t believe that every move the front office makes is perfect. Sorry, that ruffles your feathers. No need to make it personal.

[comochiefsfan]

Veach sort of getting exposed these last couple days.

Remember when we thought he had some kind of master plan for the o-line?

Apparently that plan is Kyle Long and Austin Reiter.

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Not a lot out there fellas. Andrews isn't a mauler either. Our G's were pretty much trash after Osemele blew both knees. (Although I do remember Kilgore and Allegretti har a couple good moments.) We ended up signing Witzman off the street and he started in the SB. That's pretty desperate.

Off topic: I wish we woulda left Wylie and Remmers where they were and gave Rankin the nod at LT with a lot of help. Not sure why they had to fudge the whole OL in the SB. There was no continuity.

[staylor26]

Good fucking grief I swear this place has literally gone full retard today.

Veach is clearly done on day 1 of free agency. Trades aren’t an option, and the draft has been cancelled as well.

Fucking morons.

[BossChief]

I haven’t made anything personal. I’m just saying your takes are terrible and when you aren’t making terrible takes, you’re posting very old and irrelevant information.

Plan was probably Thuney and Williams as a Plan A. We got one. Probably weren't willing to go as high as SF was for Williams and rightfully so. This is still a deep draft for Oline from what everyone on here is saying and there is still talent out there in FA to be had and talent to draft.

You guys need to take a breath.

FFS today is the beginning of the new league year and some of you are ready to jump off a bridge.

We have the best GM in the NFL and he will utilize every resource available to get us back to the Super Bowl and keep Pat healthy.

Let the man work.

[Chris Meck]

I'll tell you who's being exposed. A bunch of Chiefsplanet posters. Exposed as reactionary, knee-jerk emotional basket cases who can't use their damned heads.

There's zero chance that what we have on the offensive line right now is what we'll line up in September with no additions. There's zero chance Veach blew it up without several contingency plans in mind. There's zero chance. Just wait, damnit.

Yea, I always thought that swinging for the fence resulted in more strike outs and pop outs than home runs, but can't say that I'm much if a baseball fan.

But at this point something reliable would sound nice.

Not really surprised they're hedging a little bit as the top shelf market begins to dry up around them

But the draft awaits, and theres plenty of time for other surprises... there is simply just no way they wanna roll with him again if it can be avoided

I'd rather not, I don't think he or Wylie are starting quality players. But it looks like he wanted to test the waters and see if he could get a payday and nobody called.

As depth, it's fine. I'd just rather he wasn't a starter.

[BossChief]

Veach has done fine but Clark Hunt gave him Andy Reid and John Dorsey gave him a loaded offense.

See, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

Fuck this shit.

CEH getting tackled for losses because there is no middle push? Seen that for 8 years with Andy and Andy.

[Lilmrp117]

Yea they signed an All-Pro G and went after the best T in the market, but they clearly aren’t swinging for the fences!

They are also doing jack shit on any other position. All the good wrs are getting signed and we have nobody to replace twatkins. No defensive signings yet. Bringing back all the shit players. There's still time so I'm not panicking but it's not looking good so far.

Holy fucking shit it’s officially just day 1. You don’t go out and fill all of your needs on day 1 of free agency. Great a fucking grip and a clue.

[Titty Meat]

Not a fan of this 1 meh

[Buehler445]

If he’s cheap, OK. Would like to see competition come in.

The difference makers go fast. What difference making wr is left other than juju and golladay? Even good backup options like rashard Higgins and john ross are gone. We have the money to be players in the first wave of free agency and it doesn't seem like they are doing it other than signing a guard.

There are plenty of options still available at WR. Many better than John fucking Ross.

We are doing FA exactly right.

Pay stars. Look for bargains, value. Don't overpay the middle.

Didn't you hear, the cap went up, not down, oh wait, that's not it, we should be able to sign guys on the cheap that are highly talented free agents, why are we resigning these guys that know the system for pennies when there are super talented folk everywhere willing to play for cheap...

[BossChief]

Fuck this shit.

CEH getting tackled for losses because there is no middle push? Seen that for 8 years with Andy and Andy.

I feel ya...but I’m ok with keeping good pass blockers as long as there’s a plan to upgrade.

I’m sure the contract we’ve offered Reiter is time sensitive and a bargain. He also has a skill that is arguably as important as any other.

Availability.

Reiter has started every game since taking over at Center for Morses corpse.

I won’t be at all thrilled if we’re giving him suggested retail price, though.

[BossChief]

Holy fucking shit it’s officially just day 1. You don’t go out and fill all of your needs on day 1 of free agency. Great a fucking grip and a clue.

100%. Entitled is an understatement.

[O.city]

Reiter is a fine player

5 fine players on the OL would be great

If he’s cheap and they draft a replacement for next year.....sure. I’m not a huge fan but I can deal with it.

Actually we have some interesting speedsters on our PS. Antonio Callaway and Chad Williams have some explosive potential to go along with Tyreek, Mecole, and they just tendered Pringle. All burners. Some added, much needed, protection could go a long way with the group we have.

And no, we won't miss Watkins on our injury report or pay roll.

[kccrow]

I much prefer Nick Martin to Reiter, but whatever Veach decides to do with it. Reiter isn't so bad, honestly.

[Hammock Parties]

You guys are insane. This guy played 43 games for the best offense in football over the last three years.

It's fine if he's starting again.

The problem comes when you have five Austin Reiters starting. Not one.

[Hammock Parties]

Reiter is a fine player

5 fine players on the OL would be great

Yep. People have lost their fucking minds.

[Hoover]

If you are one who wants to draft a center, bringing back Reiter does nothing to hinder that. The Long signing threw me for more of a loop than this, but I'm also one who thinks LDT needs to earn his playing time.

[BryanBusby]

claytex ain't wrong

This is a good point. I actually like callaway a lot.

[Hammock Parties]

Niang - Thuney - Reiter - LDT/Long - Rookie

Or reverse the tackles.

Yes, I will go to battle with that and Patrick Mahomes.

I trust Veach to be right about Niang and whomever he drafts.

[Lilmrp117]

We are doing FA exactly right.

Pay stars. Look for bargains, value. Don't overpay the middle.

For those who want to overpay mediocrity this FA won't be for you.

You know who was a bargain? Marvin jones for about 7 mil a year. We absolutely need a wr to replace Watkins and we are not getting that in the bargain bin of free agency and probably not in the draft bc it takes a year or two to learn andy's offense.

It's possible they sign juju and shut me up, but I'm getting nervous with what I'm seeing. We should be players in the first wave of free agency - more so than just a guard.

[MahomesMagic]

The longer you wait, the more the bargains show up. The WR market is saturated and the guys left are not getting what they expected.

KC will be in on the right veteran WR..patience.

[Lilmrp117]

OMG John Ross is gone! We’re screwed!!!!

LMAO

There are plenty of options still available at WR. Many better than John ****ing Ross.

What difference makers are left at wr other than juju and golladay? My point about ross was that even young guys with upside are getting snatched up not that he was some all pro. If we miss on juju and golladay who do we sign then?

[srvy]

I can only guess that Andrews price is too high and they don’t want to NEED a center going into the draft. Doesn’t stop them from taking one but I’m still not fan of bringing him back.

Dammit just cut Allegretti if you cant find a spot for him because Reiter just plain sucks. It's clear to me that KC targeted Thuney and lost out to Linsley that they also wanted. I think Veach has plans at tackle but when Chargers signed Linsley they shifted to see what it would take to get Williams. I am happy that fell through with injury history and age plus unknowns in health.

[MahomesMagic]

No interest in Ross at all.

Hated him before he even got drafted.

[Hammock Parties]

You guys need to trust Veach. He couldn't go throwing cash around until the Williams deal was yay or nay.

[KChiefs1]

Veach doing mans work.

[-King-]

I don't get why you're bringing money up when we were willing to pay Williams $100+mil.

For the record, I'm fine with Reiter. He's an ok player and if he's your 4th or 5th best lineman then you have a pretty good line. We need to get 2 more good players though. LT, RG, and RT are question marks. If Remmers is our RT coming back I think we really need to hit a home run on the LT.

[Lilmrp117]

You guys need to trust Veach. He couldn't go throwing cash around until the Williams deal was yay or nay.

So the williams deal has been nay for a day now. Why are they just watching good players sign elsewhere especially at wr?

What kind of stupid does it take to post something like this? Honest question.

Reiter and Pat have great chemistry and Reiter is plus in pass pro. He rarely (if ever) has a poor snap and has been reliable.

[BossChief]

Reiter is our version of Casey Weigman.

There’s a lot of value in players like that.

As long as we don’t overpay, bringing him back on a short term deal is a smart move.

[staylor26]

Niang is our starting RT.

[BossChief]

LT ?
LG Thuney
C ?
RG Long/LDT
RT Niang

I’m bummed we didn’t end up with Silverback, too...but I can’t help but think Veach will bring us an equally as exciting LT thats younger with similar upside.

[srvy]

What kind of stupid does it take to post something like this? Honest question.

Reiter and Pat have great chemistry and Reiter is plus in pass pro. He rarely (if ever) has a poor snap and has been reliable.

:LOL:

Yeah you have been sucking his dick for a while now but the truth of the matter is he is a turd and less than a JAG. The only reason he would consider coming back is he is not getting in interest.

[-King-]

Niang is our starting RT.

Oh yeah. Always forget about him. So LT and RG left to fill then.

[ModSocks]

They could do a lot worse that Reiter. He has to be a top 3 C FA this season. Not exciting, but at least its not a step backwards.

[oldman]

Veach and Andy had a plan when they decided to let Reiter walk. My guess is that it is to give Allegretti a shot at C, since that's what we drafted him to be. Again, it's the 1st legal day of FA, so let's not get too excited.

[Dunerdr]

If Reiter is the worst guy in the interior, it could be much worse. Maybe they like Allegretti at and plan to let them fight it out. Who fucking knows its so early in the process it doesnt much matter. You cant sign every fucking free agent stud out there. Clearly Silverdick and Thuney were priority 1. Nailed one down early and the other probably never intended on leaving SF but just used us for leverage knowing Veach was ready to go to war for him.

[BossChief]

Oh yeah. Always forget about him. So LT and RG left to fill then.

Long, LDT and Wylie will compete at RG.

[Dunerdr]

Long, LDT and Wylie will compete at RG.

Thats three guys who have started for considerable stretches competing. Two weeks ago i would have been thrilled to hear that. People are acting like Bart Vatch hasnt done jack shit.

[rabblerouser]

Meh. He'll probably look a hell of a lot better not having to play next to that ****ing worthless sack of shit Wylie.

This. As long as Wylie is gone, it's really addition by subtraction. If I were Wylie, I would've at least chop-blocked Suh and stomped him in the nuts a couple times on my way back to the locker room after getting kicked out of the game.

Would've helped out way more than whatever it was that you call what he did during the Super Bowl...

[rabblerouser]

Long, LDT and Wylie will compete at RG.

For fuck's sake, I hate Wylie.

[rabblerouser]

So, I guess so far we're looking at :

LT : ?? (RANKINS??)
LG : Thuney
C: Reiter or Allegretti
RG : LDT or Long (I hate Wylie)
RT : Niang or Remmers

[BossChief]

Veach said in his presser it will be a combination of the draft and free agency to fix the OL.

All signs point to us drafting Fishers replacement at this point, but a stopgap will likely be signed.

Well, yeah. But if you're Bart Veatch and if that's your attitude, then you target your guy and trade up to make it happen. We're sitting at #31 as it is...that's basically the second fucking round. That's "best player available out of what's already left" territory.

[Dante84]

Dont we have two PS guys in the mix? Prince something and Yasir Durant?

Sorry, but I'm not going into camp banking on two PS JAGs to step up and protect my blue-chip, all-world, position-defining QB worth MORE than the half-a-billion that he's getting paid...not sorry, actually.

Oh me either.

I’m just remembering that they were high on some developmental guys, and wonder if they are capable of filling the depth spots on the 53 for cheap.

[rabblerouser]

Related- didn’t Reid bench Reiter for Kilgore at one point for performance?

I liked Kilgore better than Reiter and I liked Rankins better than Wylie AND LDT before he got hurt. I guess Reid looks at different criteria for his lineman than me. I look for that "NASTY STREAK" first, before technique. Technique can be taught, that's a coachable trait. I want to see someone who will rather kill someone than to let anyone touch the QB. John Alt, I remember him horsecollaring the piss out of Jr Seau to keep him off Joe Montana. I like that. Tackle the mother****er, **** them 10 yards. Run blocking, I also like that. Reid, not so much...

Anyone know what the deal is with Rankins, btw?

[GloryDayz]

I appreciate the efforts the team is making to ensure Mahomes is protected. I'm glad they resisted the temptation to not be proactive and "see what happens" with returning injured players.

[Wisconsin_Chief]

What this actually means is the Chiefs have a dirt cheap, short term offer on the table and Reiter hasn’t found jack squat on the market.

[bobhill]

What's up with the tackle from Minnesota and the center from New England

[YayMike]

What's up with the tackle from Minnesota and the center from New England

Both FA still. The tackle visiting Cincy, and no news yet on center.

[tyreekthefreak]

Related- didn’t Reid bench Reiter for Kilgore at one point for performance?

It wasn't a benching. The game plan the first game against Buffalo was to run the ball.....which was all they did, and they ran it extremely well!!! Rieter was back starting the next week. Apparently Kilgore is a better run-blocker than Rieter.

Hook up Rieter while you can and keep looking to get better at center through FA/Draft! That's all you can do at this point...

[Easy 6]

What this actually means is the Chiefs have a dirt cheap, short term offer on the table and Reiter hasn’t found jack squat on the market.

Because most teams want someone who can help get them a couple yards on 3rd and goal... yeah his pass blocking is above average, but hells bells I sure hope we can find someone a little more well rounded

[smithandrew051]

Both FA still. The tackle visiting Cincy, and no news yet on center.

I’m under the assumption Veach has a plan.

You have to think that if Veach wanted Reiff bad then he would have signed by now. Apparently, Veach isn’t too high on him or he’s strategically not attacking that one.

I just find it very hard to believe that Veach made the moves to clear all this cap space without a plan beyond Trent Williams.

[oldman]

Because most teams want someone who can help get them a couple yards on 3rd and goal... yeah his pass blocking is above average, but hells bells I sure hope we can find someone a little more well rounded

That's kind of where I'm at. This being only the 2nd day of legal FA, doesn't mean we have to panic and bring back Reiter for more than what he's worth. I still think the brain trust at 1 Arrowhead has Allegretti penciled in as the starter.

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

You know who was a bargain? Marvin jones for about 7 mil a year. We absolutely need a wr to replace Watkins and we are not getting that in the bargain bin of free agency and probably not in the draft bc it takes a year or two to learn andy's offense.

It's possible they sign juju and shut me up, but I'm getting nervous with what I'm seeing. We should be players in the first wave of free agency - more so than just a guard.

Really? Ju Ju is a nightmare, cares more about Tik-Tok videos than his team and will get paid by some really stupid team... Veach is not really stupid, if we get Ju Ju it would be a cheaper 1 year deal with a short leash... JMO

[rabblerouser]

What this actually means is the Chiefs have a dirt cheap, short term offer on the table and Reiter hasn’t found jack squat on the market.

All of which makes complete sense.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I liked Kilgore better than Reiter and I liked Rankins better than Wylie AND LDT before he got hurt. I guess Reid looks at different criteria for his lineman than me. I look for that "NASTY STREAK" first, before technique. Technique can be taught, that's a coachable trait. I want to see someone who will rather kill someone than to let anyone touch the QB. John Alt, I remember him horsecollaring the piss out of Jr Seau to keep him off Joe Montana. I like that. Tackle the mother****er, **** them 10 yards. Run blocking, I also like that. Reid, not so much...

Anyone know what the deal is with Rankins, btw?

Kilgore isn't near the pass-protector that Reiter and he never will be. That tends to matter to a team that wants to protect its QB, regardless of how "nasty" you may think they are/aren't.

That's a little much honestly.

This made me laugh so hard.

Where does Reiter fall in the "nasty" metric? ROFL

I hate the new Chief fan. Almost makes me miss the True Fan.

The massively upgraded guard spots will help him out tremendously in the run game.

This is being overlooked.

I didn’t want to bring Reiter back, because it seemed like the price tag would be too high.

I’m completely fine with Reiter on a short term reasonable deal. The $10 million + AAV is a little much for him.

I do like the idea of knowing who 4 of your 5 starters are, and feeling at least decent about all 4 of them. You aren’t forced to pick one in the draft. Allegretti becomes depth. Long is purely a luxury as well.

I preferred Curtis Samuel and marvin jones but they're gone and juju is basically all that's left at wr. I don't consider golladay realistic. I guess hilton could be ok, but he old and a brokedick but not as broke as Watkins at least.

[htismaqe]

This place is hilarious.

And fucking sad.

[Dunerdr]

Oh me either.

I’m just remembering that they were high on some developmental guys, and wonder if they are capable of filling the depth spots on the 53 for cheap.

Prince wanohgo or wahtever has some upside. super raw but decent prospect.

I'm kind of surprised Rankin isn't getting talked about more. I almost wonder if he won't make the roster, he's been kind of forgotten. I thought once he came back fully healthy he might be a good piece but unless it's at tackle I'm not sure where he fits in.

Rankin sucks. As a tackle in Houston he was Cam Erving-level bad.

As a guard there's such a small sample size of his work with the Chiefs that I'm not sure that's the real guy.

He was recovering from his injury last year, but I have the feeling if the coaching staff really thought he was capable of being a starting guard, he would have gotten a look much earlier than he did.

He'll be a camp body and still might make the team as depth, but I really wouldn't hold my breath.

129 posts should be enough action to get this POS signed, right?

[Wilson8]

Andrew's is going back to New England

Also Ted Karras who has played Center some the last couple of years, is returning back to New England after 1 year in Miami.

[Wilson8]

Former Baltimore Ravens Center, Matt Skura signed with Miami Dolphins for 1 year $1,750,000.

Former Carolina Panthers Center Tyler Larsen signed with Washington Football Team for 1 year $1,040,000

When you add these to the others, this was a big day for free agent center signings.

If you look at the list of free agent centers, Austin Reiter is probably the best available.

Another way to look at it, All these other guys were preffered over him and they didnt get paid much.

[Couch-Potato]

Let's get this one done already.

Good. They're both trash.

Yeah, bring back Reeter. I'm not seeing anything much better if at all.

Everything sucks in Houston.

Maybe DeShaun Watson forced Rankin to suck?

(too soon?)
