ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Former Steeler WR Eli Rogers trying out for Chiefs

While I appreciate GM-Brett Veach doing his due diligence, this interest is a head scratcher. [emoji848]

WR-Eli Rogers is a restricted free-agent and is slated for a workout tomorrow with the KC Chiefs. Eli Rogers has already stated that he wants to return to Pittsburgh and loves being a Steeler. Eli Rogers is also coming off a serious injury that he suffered in the playoff loss to Jacksonville last January.

The Chiefs this off-season have already given serious $$$ to Sammy Watkins making him one of the highest paid WRs in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes has built a rapport with WR-DeMarcus Robinson from last season which is surely visible to the masses on social media on all the Mahomes “Hype Videos”created by many amateurs around the globe (But none better than the short film “The Rise Of Mahomes” by Red Tribe Cinema). And we can’t forget about the blazing speed of the biggest WR threat in the game, the man that we call the Cheetah-Tyreek Hill. The dynamic that Tyreek Hill brings to this offense along with the arm of Patrick Lavon Mahomes sends shivers down the back of opposing defensive coordinators around the league.

Chris Conley is showing signs of being healthy and returning to form from his week five season ending injury last season and Jehu Chesson showed significant promise his rookie season.

Brett Veach has shown that he is not afraid to cram as many free-agent running backs into his stable this spring and summer, yet is it truly necessary to do the same at the WR position? And if the Chiefs sign Eli Rogers is this the end for Conley,Chesson or DeAnthony Thomas?

Stay tuned as we will follow this situation closely.
