ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate

Wed stand to lose more than gain in this scenario. The player could just be like, welp ok, I'll just go to the team that's willing to sign me for what I want/what's reasonable rather than the team that won't restructure obvious contracts to afford me. There's basically no plus side to doing this as a poker move. Any agent would be able to see right through the BS.

Veach is going to offer what they want to pay. If it doesn’t meet what Williams wants....then he’ll leave. It is what it is. How many contracts we have to restructure to do it doesn’t matter.

That’s always been FA.

"Player X is over 30 years old, they want a ring!" ORRRR they want to cash in as big as they ****ing can before they retire at 35.

Calling my shot that Trent Williams stays in SF, KC signs a different OL. Linsley goes somewhere stupid never to be heard from again. Honey Badger gets extended. Jones converts portion of roster bonus, freeing up more space. KC signs free agent linebacker. KC re-signs Dirty Dan.

We draft Rashod Bateman.

Love to get Thuney if we don't sign Williams for whatever reason. He's only 28 so he would be at elite level for the duration of a 5 year deal.

Williams wouldn't be here in that situation though.

Yeah I misread the stays in SF part.

SF just inked their FB for 5 years 27 million.

Wow

For a 30 year old fullback

I'm listening to the RGR podcast.

I don't think Derrick is being very creative in thought... when he says "I don't see how the Chiefs can afford Trent Williams" it just is silly.

He should understand what the Chiefs are able to create it cap room. Yeah, it would take roughly half of what the Chiefs CAN free up with the Kelce, Jones restructures and Mathieu extension (in AAV), but they certainly can afford Williams if they want to and he wants to be in KC to chase a ring.

Yes, we didn't cut both tackles without a plan to add a big piece.

I mean, maybe the plan is Villanueva or Reiff + Thuney. Or a trade/extension. Or something like that.
