ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs hire Steve Spagnuolo as new defensive coordinator

Problem with paying a ILB $12.5M is Hitchens is already getting $9M. That’s a lot of money tied into that position that probably should be used in the secondary.

On who?

A guy like Nelson is going to get $12-13M per. Maybe we could get a safety on the cheap (although I'm not a fan of that either) but getting a CB anywhere but the draft looks to be impossible.

It would have to be trade or draft for a corner I think if you want a top notch one.

I’d look at bringing in a mid tier guy too like Breeland just to stock it up

Breeland's injury history is going to play into his salary. Even the mid-tier CBs are going to get big money this offseason.

And the safety position as well. Unless people are ok with giving another a safety another huge contract.

Sign him cheaper

They need a lot more bodies back there and they’ve gotta come from somewhere

I think we should prepare for a big earl Thomas contract

$12.5 million for Alexander/Barr or $14 million on an old, broken Earl Thomas (I think Landon Collins gets the tag), at least $13 million on Ronald Darby or a lesser corner in a below average market?

Yeah if I’m spending on 1 FA, I’m getting something for my money. I wouldn’t mind Thomas, but his age and injuries worry me for his price tag.

It looks like we are going to be getting rid of Houston and Ford in the next 2 years, as well as Berry when possible, so money will open up easily for a lower investment like an ILB to fit in fine.

Draft is gonna have to be used on DE, corner and Safety.

I'd rather sign a DE than I would another LB in the 43.

Mizzou fans correct me on this, but I’m pretty sure Morse had only played tackle and guard in college, right?

Not the same thing as having only ever played defensive line, but still...

I think Thomas is either going to the Cowboys or the 49ers.

Tag and trade Ford. If any player other than Mahomes can be traded for two #1 picks, take it. Build in the draft, no mega-contracts other than Mahomes. Keep the cap under control for mid-season deals.

Then sign Amos. He’s much younger anyways.

If the Chiefs want him, they'll overspend and get him. We know that much.
