Could be a "trade a CB for some depth at another position this year" kinda thing.

We’re not ever paying a boundary corner with this staff, and for good reason.

We kept 6 corners on the week 1 depth chart last year.

Sneed, McDuffie, Williams, Watson, Jones. That’s 5, and I think Conner takes someone’s job being the 4th safety.

He might have a chance.

Yea Deon Bush is probably hosed...

Conner is basically a more athletic guy brought in to be what Sorensen use to be, a guy that can play up in the box, LB in passing downs, deep safety even out in the slot and also be a special teams capatain.

I'm really excited about this guy. I know nothing about him, but if Veach likes him I'm excited about him.

Have we inducted this piece of shit yet?

Titty Meat 05-08-2023 11:39 AM

This team shits out corners

Why did he burn out on the Jets?

You're right.

What a luxury.

And it makes sense that you can do it with DBs. I mean there are so many of them out there every year and if you know what you are looking for. Why the hell not just go cheap on the position.

We can get away with it because we don't have to hold teams under 20 to win either...

Mecca beat me to it.

It is essential this team has a pass rush. Mahomes can put massive pressure on the other team to pass and we need the dogs out there to make them pay for it.

They better widen the ROH, they're going to be needing some extra space.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston on April 29, New York had signed Hailassie to a contract that included $167,500 in total guarantees. Chances are, Kansas City offered Hailassie more guaranteed money, which is why he jumped ship to join the Chiefs.

They put his locker next to Rodgers.
