The women at those LA bars and nightclubs won’t be too impressed when they read about his measurements

If there’s a lot of teams looking for a LT, then they’re all looking at Cam Robinson too

Any chance the giants would trade us Andrew Thomas? Two firsts and Kingsley for Thomas?

Maybe he’ll give a Super Bowl contender’s discount rather than just run for the $$$ in New England.

Doubtful, but that would be the hope for the Chiefs.

There aren't THAT many teams looking for a new starter at LT. Everyone is trying to find guys who can play there in the draft, but the Chiefs are one of a small handful of teams that will be actively engaged in looking for a FA LT of note.

There are other starting caliber LTs in free agency too. I'm sure somebody is going to sign Moore to be their starter, and he might be cheaper and a better fit for other teams with his run blocking.

How I view it...

Teams that NEED a LT:

New England
Cleveland (I do see Dan Moore going here)
Kansas City

Might be looking:
Miami (if Armstead retires and they aren't convinced Paul is ready)
Baltimore (if they can't re-sign Stanley)
Chicago (not alot of love for Braxton Jones and Amegadjie reportedly didn't do much to instill confidence either)
Green Bay (Walker isn't that great so they could look to upgrade if its there)
San Francisco (They need an heir to Trent Williams asap)
Tennessee (Latham wasn't very convincing last season, might want to move him to RT)
Dallas (Depends on how they view Guyton's progress)


Teams that NEED a RT:

New England
New York Jets (their backups suck and Moses is a FA)

Might be looking:
Miami (Austin Jackson should probably move inside)
Jacksonville (Anton Harrison hasn't looked great)
Las Vegas (they may want to move Glaze inside to OG and upgrade)
New York Giants (upgrading from Eluemunor would be prudent)
Arizona (might want to upgrade from Jonah Williams)
Los Angeles Rams (Havenstein is old and falling off)

Well aware of all that. Veach clearly didn’t prioritize re-signing him or negotiations would never have soured to the point they did.

He thought he could get equal production at a better value and more importantly he underestimated the value in the fact that Patrick trusted OBJ.

He gambled and lost. It happens sometimes.

Man I'd love to have an alternate reality machine so you could see the alternate version of yourself that was super pissed at Veach for giving OBJ everything he wanted for mediocre at best production. Then you'd see how full of shit you are.

LT market isn’t very good. Just gotta hope one of these can turn into something decent in the LT spot for 2025 season: DJ Humphries, Wanya, Kingsley, and perhaps a new Draft pick.

Zero chance they roll with those guys.

We're desperate. We have to make a move and it cannot be a ripple. It has to be a splash. If we can't pull it off it's hard to see us hoisting the Lombardi going against teams who do have really good T's. We may be the only top 5 team that doesn't.

Jamie 03-01-2025 04:09 AM

What about Mekhi Becton? He has (or at least had) the physical tools to play tackle and he's still only 26.

nychief 03-01-2025 07:57 AM

Willie Roaf ain’t walking through that door.

pugsnotdrugs19 03-01-2025 08:15 AM

Nothing wrong with having your 6-8 be Kingsley, Wanya, Nourzad. Those are young guys with starter upside who if you have an injury somewhere, you’re most likely going to be able to ride it out similar to how we did when Allegretti stepped in.

That’s not nothing. Caliendo cannot be our backup guard next year. Nothing worse than seeing a big guy down and wondering if your season is toast.

After they bring in the sure answer at LT, I think we’ll be ok in that regard for 2-3 years and that’s not a bad way to use draft capital.

pugsnotdrugs19 03-01-2025 08:28 AM

… and now talking it through, even though I’ve been a pro-Ronnie Stanley guy thus far, I totally understand why they’d prefer Robinson even beyond the money.

Nourzad is your backup C.

Kingsley can, at minimum, be a swing guard along with Nourzad.

LT depth is the problem. You need a stable floor and a guy you can depend on to be there week after week.

Eye test says Wanya at LT is a player they were able to win in spite of. At RT, looked like a player they could win with, not in spite of.

So really, the most important thing at LT is finding that one solid floor dude who isn’t likely to miss games.
