They need a reliable big bodied X WR that can win 1 on 1 and be productive opposite Hill. It's not gonna be a glamorous position as he's not gonna be a big part of the offense produciton wise.

Just be able to beat your guy when they double Hill and Kelce.

It will help in the red zone too, which is a huge deal.

They haven't been great in the RZ for 2 years now and a big part of that is that they have nothing beyond Kelce and trick plays. Yes, a running game would help but so would a box out WR.

Totally.

You know what would also help in the redzone?

Being able to block a running play.

Just sayin'.

Until the OL is sorted there's no point even worrying about who Patrick's throwing to next season

Welp.

If I'm Brett Veach, I can now get to $40M under the cap with the following (in light of the Fisher/Schwartz releases):

1) Mahomes restructure (Roster bonus)
2) Jones restructure ($15M of roster bonus)
3) Mathieu extension (you can easily cut his 21 cap in half, even if he gets the same type of deal over 4-5 years that Budda Baker got)
4) Kelce restructure ($10M total between roster bonus and base salary)

In this FA market, i have a feeling $40M in 21 cap space can buy you a LOT. Even accounting for the need to hold about $6-7M back for draft picks.

Like maybe an upgrade at LT (Trent Williams) or an equivalent player to a healthy Fisher (Riley Reiff)

And an upgrade at C (Corey Linsley?)

And a defensive end to upgrade the pass rush (many options)

I already said that, BTW. ;)

I'm sure Veach can multitask. Plus he has an army of people that work for him.

And today ladies and gentlemen, is why I hate doing mocks before The last week of March. Everything has changed here in 1 day LMAO

You love it. It gives you an excuse to do another one with completely different results.

I don't think the cutting of Fisher and Schwartz was set in stone, but seeing some of the talent cut yesterday was crazy and I believe there will be great deals to be had for 2021 and Veach wasn't afraid to pull the trigger.

Silverback
Draft pick or vet I haven’t researched yet
Linsley
LDT

I wouldn't bank on that happening.
