So because there's no rumors of fa talks we assume this is a complete rebuild from now on?

Losing 7 games of continuity? Really? If we can't get a guard to play as good as or better than Schwartz, we have a bigger problem. He's started 26 games in 6 years for a reason.

What else can we do? We can only discuss what we know and then speculate.

Should we just not talk about it?

Rainbows and unicorns! Chiefs rule!

I would expect 5-6 years of Smith playing at this level, barring injury. And that's about as long of a contract as he should get.

Realistically, I think you're looking at a 6 year deal worth around 70 million, and we will not see that through.

I would like to him signed through 2019 and draft his replacement in the first round sooner rather than later.

I really do think that having a stable, capable quarterback was vital to other players' development as well. I have no idea how the hell you evaluate OL or WR or TE or RB when you have Brady Quinn and Tyler Palko slugging it out.

We needed someone that the team could look at and say "I'm not just taking a pounding for nothing. We can actually win a game." Alex Smith was a very stabilizing presence for a team that had really been in crisis for a few years. Hopefully, that continues, but Dorsey realizes that he will have to re-up his investment at QB in the form of an early round draft pick.

I mean, if Reid can replicate finding Foles in the second round, sitting him for a year to learn, and then having a guy ready to take over... I'm happy as shit.

It's not just about Schwartz.

The line finally started to gel towards the end of the season.

Now we're looking at two new tackles, a new guard, potentially a new center.

You can't have that much turnover and expect to succeed, at least not right away.

Paying top 5 money to a slot corner that can't even adequately cover #1 WRs and had all of 7 PDefs last season.:clap: Only the Chiefs.

You hope he does.

yea Reids not finding another Foles

Yeah, I was trying to say that. "Hopefully... Dorsey realizes..."

They'd better ****ing sign Houston before the beginning of next year. Otherwise say goodbye because they'll let themselves get outbid.

Reid isn't finding anybody. Dorsey is running the draft.

They would probably release Hali and tag Houston if it came down to it.

Well if that's the case, I'm glad they locked up Frank Zombo.

I'm guessing that's why they are letting most of these guys walk. They have faith in some of their younger guys, and they need to get Houston and Poe and Berry extended, and probably rework Charles' deal since he's pretty underpaid (and will likely want to get it reworked)...

Ever think that this is why they aren't overpaying for a journeymen guard?
