Again, according to the article, they did try. Didn't get it done.

HOpefully it's better in the long run they didn't.

Quit this "Robinson is our #2" shit. It's not a thing. There's nothing that would suggest that's true.

I don't know that I see any starting caliber LT's available that I'd be very comfortable with.

That’s exactly why it sound more to me like they wanted to upgrade.

They didn’t, and they re-signed Robinson and will use the draft to add young/cheap talent.

Nobody is saying we should sign one and not also draft 1 in the first 2 rounds.

The idea is to have a vet and a young talented rookie. Just like RT with Remmers and Niang.

Robinson signed for the vet minimum. You gotta think that he took a discount to stay here. He could’ve gotten more elsewhere

There are varying degrees of trying. There's $16M a year multi year deal for Watkins trying, and then there's 1-yr barely less/more than what every other team is offering trying....

The WR FA class this year was hot garbage. The highlight player was Golladay, who's a nice player, but not an ace.

The rest? Juju, Reynolds, Samuel and Hilton?

LMAO

Yeah, the Chiefs didn't exactly miss any world beaters in that group. Lackluster at best.

It just doesn't pencil cost wise though. Unless you can get one of those vets on a cheap 1 year deal, I wouldn't tie up 8 mil on a meh LT if I'm gonna spend an early pick on one.

If you're drafting a guy in round 1 or 2, start him.

8M a year for a LT is ****ing peanuts.

They weren't looking for a world beater. They're looking for a competent #2 vet.

If they don’t sign a LT, then that means they either are eyeing a trade for a guy like Dillard or Brown, or they will be very aggressive in the draft.

Again, Andy Reid has never started a rookie at LT. If the plan is to sit at 31 and take one, I think they’ll also sign a vet.

It's 8 mil off this years cap on a guy that you hope holds down the spot long enough to get a young guy up to speed.

It's a waste of resources when you can roll that 8 million over and just play the rookie.

Agreed! Unless you’re gonna sign a LT long term you need to draft one and hope for the best

And they werent willing to pay more than they're worth, because again, that list of WR's is aids.

People are acting like we "missed out" on these guys. I don't see it that way at all. The Chiefs gave these B-C grade players a chance by offering them what they're worth (very little). They didn't take it, no harm no foul. The contract offers suggest that these guys weren't high priority FA's that they HAD to have.

How is that any different from the WR2 spot where we would’ve paid 8 mil for a 1 year stop gap?

Is LT not more of an immediate need than WR2?
