I'd genuinely partake in that gif today. Back then we didn't have a QB and I'm the guy in the middle of that gif with his arms crossed showing no emotion.

So the guy clearly wants to come here to resurrect his career. He knows this would be his best shot at a ring and one last payday. Guessing he hasn't drawn much interest, with good reason.

If we're talking a 1-year deal loaded with incentives, I'd consider it. You can still draft a guy high and even bring in more competition in free agency too if you get him cheap enough. I want guys who want to be Chiefs and I think Veach & Reid feel that way, too.

Interesting. Broke dick or not, he's a proven body at a position where we have jack shit. Again, only for dirt cheap and no promises of a starting role.

Thats where im at.

Two possible outcomes:

-he comes in, stays healthy and performs well enough while his eventual replacement learns on the right side and takes over the left in 2024.

-he comes in and gets injured at some point during the season and his replacement gets to learn and get game reps at LT that will make him even more game ready in theplayoffs and future seasons.

I dont see a real negative if he is a bargain bin type of signing, because you arent investing top dollar in a mediocre tackle.

I think as Chiefs fans we were conditioned to say “WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!!!”
Now it’s “I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THEY DO!!”
So happy we have one of the best if not the best franchises in sports…

Pretty much. If I didn't have trust in this organization, I would currently be pretty horrified that we decided not to tag OBJ and take our chances with mediocre free agents and/or rookie draft picks outside of the Top 20. I'm already uneasy with it, but just have to believe they see some path that I don't, and that the plan isn't to just let Mahomes get killed in 2023.

Lewan is gonna cost money. It won't be like a 2 million dollar deal. I'd guess you're looking at 8-10 mil.

No.

Pay that to a DE wanting to win a championship before he hangs it up.

Get over this shit of veterans. You need a long term tackle. Go draft one, insert him at LT and let him learn.

TLO 03-08-2023 10:12 AM

Has the idea of Prince Winnebago at LT been floated?

BossChief 03-08-2023 10:23 AM

I’d rather sign Fisher or just play Niang at LT than sign Lewan.

I'd be fine if it bought you a few games like Dallas did last year. That wasnt their plan and they had a super raw rookie.

Meh, I don’t know. If someone had thrown that kind of money at him he would have accepted by now. Remember, he was cut so his agent has surely been out there testing the waters and is clearly not finding much.

When players start openly recruiting themselves to certain teams, seems to me like they are looking for a lifeline. Guess we’ll see. If you’re correct and he wants 8-10 million, he can definitely pound sand.

That's acceptable but you have to nail down RT then.

The Chiefs cannot spend another season with two sieves at tackle.

Mahomes/Reid can negotiate one, but not both.

Not by anyone that doesn't want Mahomes to get killed on the field.
