Welp, there it is lol

Great minds think alike Andy!

So this Whitley guy is likely to play? He has to be elevated to the active roster so might as well play him.

I look at it as competition for Kaindoh and Herring. 3-4 weeks and Whitley could even get cut. But I think they are thinking they will eventually get the DL roster set back to 10 or even 9 guys and they’re trying to find the next man up for when Clark has a flare up with his digestive/stomach problems etc. Neither have gotten the chance to show if they are ready. Kaindoh has the high ceiling with his frame and length but he’s not showing much especially his football IQ and discipline within the scheme, being gap sound. Herring and JK I think they’re maybe trying to decide who fits where in regards to the PS and 53. It gave those two a couple extra weeks to work with Cullen and for the team to evaluate that.

What irritates me is there doesn’t seem to be much urgency when Kaindoh has got on the field. Sooner or later he needs to show progress or their going to lose hope on that upside. Herring is in his second year but is basically a rookie because they can’t practice while on NFI like he was his entire rookie year. I think they add Whitley as who they identified as having the most potential to contribute from young DEs the personnel department from preseason film. So they’re throwing numbers at it and they will eventually waive one of the three once they make their choice. Then that player who they waive will either get claimed or not or added to the ps or not but whatever happens someone will have the chance to step up. Not an exciting topic, the bottom 5 or so spots on the roster...just how I view it. Bring in competition to get the attention of a couple guys you need to make a choice on when other positions need help in the future and they can’t afford to carry that many DL

I forgot to add yes, you’re exactly right on who is going to be active of those 3. That will be interesting.

Kaindoh

Herring

Whitley

I think they liked his preseason film and his length is just the same as Kaindoh not his frame, height etc but he’s in the plus category with arm length plus good film gives them confidence in taking a chance on a guy. Kinda looks built like Danna just much better arm length

They obviously think so highly of Kaindoh and Herring.

I see the Whitley signing more as a move in response to the Danna injury and the possible Clark suspension. If it works out to be competition for either Kanidoh or Herring, so be it.

That’s the thing. They’re bringing on a guy that they have to activate for 3 games. They could have just went to their own PS to get a body.

This is BOTH - a response to the Danna injury AND competition for the other guys.

We didn't have a DE on the PS.

Quinn woudl be great but damn, Simmons would be freaking wrecking crew in the middle with Jones. Yeeesh. I can't imagine they'd move him, right?

I don't think they'll mess with the OL unless there's an injury, Andy likes continuity.

McCaffery an option?

Kamara?

Just week one then he was released. But they still could have called him back and added him. He’s available and it hasn’t been long since he’s been in the building. I think that shows they currently have him evaluated as a designated pass rusher type only and don’t see him holding up in the run game to be part of the rotation

James Wiggins (S) signed to practice squad. Azur Kamara (DE) practice squad contract terminated.

Ah, I didn’t know he had been released.

Sign this piece of shit VEAAAAXH!

Well, cross Joe Haden off the list. He’s officially retired. Might have been a nice veteran presence in the secondary, assuming he had anything left in the tank.

I put him in the same category with Tim Ward and a guy like Joe Jackson. Ward they know what he is. A guy who spent last year on the active roster with the jets but was released at the first cutdown this training camp and isn’t on a taxi squad for whatever reason. Joe Jackson I mention because he had a very nice college career with Miami and has the frame and length everyone is looking for. He just hasn’t stuck for whatever reason. Comparable to an Ogbah size whose type IMO. All 3 are not currently on a 53 or PS but sooner or later they will be on the try out circuit. All 3 have experience in KC (Jackson only a couple weeks on the PS last year in the playoffs and they didn’t sign him to a futures contract) I keep the other two in mind because unlike Kamara they haven’t worked with Cullen so with each of their plus length and size they’re in the rolodex because they fit in the category of being coached up and maybe over achieving with Cullen as he has made chicken salad out of chicken shit in his career with some players

Cut Frank Clark.

I know the thread is about adding players, but I'd rather just straight up cut Frank Clark than add anybody right now.

If he continues to have his health issues and starts to miss practice and games and loses any more weight they could always place him on non football injury/illness and either activate him when healthy or keep him there for the season. If someone steps up to fill in the DE rotation and he does have issues that might be what they do. For now they will stick with him but I think that’s a probable outcome if/when

Clark to me looks like Taco Charleton from a couple years ago when he showed up for mini camp or Ota’s weighing like 245 very lean and probably 10 lbs at least too light

You can't him today without a massive cap hit. I'm not sure if NFI/illness rules can be used, either.

NFI would be no different cap wise and how that’s affected. Would be the same as IR in that regard. Simply can’t afford to cut him outright though that’s exactly right

Injury settlement. Someone needs to find that thick ice skater. She knows people...

Don't care.

Addition by subtraction.

Kenny Golladay?

He only had 2 snaps last week, the coaching staff is punishing him apparently despite telling him he had a great attitude. Calling it a "weekly competition at WR" probably doesn't rub your #1 the right way, not sure he can come back from the last couple shit seasons in NY though.

Edit: I'm basically suggesting a merger with the Giants lol Saquan as our new starter, Golladay to compete at WR, flyer on K Toney...Giants org dissolves lol

Christian McCaffrey would be really interesting, feels risky though.

His contract is way too rich and he's 29. Veach basically can't go that route and I doubt he would if he could.

Now, Darius Slayton, I'd throw a late pick for him.

I know I've become a caricature with it around here, but I'm gonna steer into the skid.

If you want an elite type pass rusher, you're gonna have to trade up or trade for and sign one IMO. So that being the case, which guy theoretically, would you be willing to do that for?

Looking at FA's in 23/24 you've got some real dudes coming up for deals soon.

Chase Young, Nick Bosa, Brian Burns and Montez Sweat.

Now, those guys usually don't hit the market or become available. But there's always a chance. So of those, who and what you giving up?

If it were me and I had a choice, it's Bosa. But there's no chance he gets out of SF. Same with Young.

I think Sweat woudl be a nice addition and maybe a bit cheaper than Burns.

The guy they want to be their starter at QB is on a rookie deal. They'll have plenty of cash to throw at Bosa. I really don't see them letting him hit FA.

Chiefs will get none of those guys and you've wasted another season talking about it

Pretty much this.

Chiefs aren’t the only team who needs pass rushers.

Karlaftis looks solid. I know it’s easier said than done, but see if you can hit on some of that magic again in the draft.

WR D Mooney gotta be pretty sad at this point.

I moved to Charlotte about ten years ago...I AWLAYS root for them and their bandwagon fans to lose. Unless they're playing a team we need them to beat. Or Tom Brady either one.
