I think Ragland is going to play this year. You're right though, we are building long term.

No worse than $5 million in Dead Money for Jaye Howard or $2.4 million for Jeremy Maclin.

Even dumber is $750k for Mauga, $609k for KeiVarae Russle and $250k for Ramik Wilson.

Barbre is actually a solid starter. Erving on the other hand...

Meh.

Folks around here thought the Colts swindled the Browns for Richardson.

#Chiefs have found talent thru the scrap heap. They were the lone team to claim LG Bryan Witzmann last year. Now starter. Same with Erving?

Trust the coaching staff people. Witzmann has been a surprisingly solid G this preseason.

Why is there Bronco discussion in here again?

Because Chiefs

Maybe in Raglands case since he missed his rookie year on IR with his knee but Erving is in what his 3rd year? His rookie deal will be over before he is ready to play at a starting level.

There's a 5th year option on Erving, dummy

ROFL

Get kicked inside to guard and save your career, buddy.

Also, and I could be wrong here, but my understanding is that Cleveland moved to a more power blocking scheme in recent years, while we are more of a west coast zone blocking team. So different skillsets. It's part of why they let Schwartz walk last year. But Schwartz fits us. We'll see how Erving develops in this system...

Solid starting offensive linemen don't get cut (or traded for 7th rounders), which is what would've happened to him if you didn't trade for him.

You're truly a ****ing clueless homer.

Because they know KC is better. Knowmo is trying to pimp a 33 year old G who will likely start for them by saying he's better than the backup G we just acquired. LMAO

I don't see how it hurts to to check him out. We have shit for OL depth as it and a better staff to coach him.
