It seems like an odd signing.

Because McKinnon is likely signing a vet min deal where Williams made a couple mill.

Damn, Sammy Watkins cousin. Haha, he was good when he was healthy though. Hope he doesn't hurt himself signing the papers though.

Useless signing. Anyone claiming otherwise is just homering out.

***Breaking News***

McKinnon was so happy to get a shot with the Chiefs that he started jumping up and down and tore both ACLs.

The dude has 18 starts in 5 seasons and was out the 2018 and 2019 seasons due to injury.

He was healthy and pretty damn good last year.

I like this signing, but I understand the concern

Wonder if they offered Bell something similar?

Yeah, but it's not like the Chiefs don't have that extra $1 million in cap space for a guy that could have easily been the Chiefs Super Bowl MVP in 2019.

I just think it's a strange signing.

The Chiefs soured on Williams is all I can say, we tried to sign Gio Bernard before he went to Tampa.

gblowfish 04-30-2021 02:48 PM

So is Bell done? Did he retire? Did he sign somewhere with somebody?

He had 592 yards from scrimmage last year but I wouldn't expect much from him due to his age (29 years old in a few days) and his long injury history.

I'd rather see the Chiefs take a complimentary back in the 5th than take a chance on another broke dick but I guess that's on the table until Saturday afternoon.

I’d rather they sign an UDFA RB instead of spending a pick on one.

Always hurt

I would imagine they'll do that as well because every running back other than CEH is replaceable.

Nice signing. He's not starter material, but he's got some moves...
