Uhm, by basically saying Thornhill is so incapable of playing the position that we need to move Sneed over, you are absolutely cricizing Veach.

Stop being an idiot.

Thornhill had a 70.2 grade on PFF for 2021.

I know it’s PFF, but it’s pretty hard to be inadequate and get a high grade playing that many snaps. Almost impossible.

He’s above average with a chance to be really good this year in a contract year.

Why would a Texans fan remember anything from this game? lol

Don't know if this has already been posted but it's a pretty good read overall...

Every NFL GM will miss on picks. The idea that Veach can miss on a draft pick isn't a criticism, unless you're living in a fan fantasy land.

Great ****ing pickup, I honestly think he is a stud and a much better hitter than we have had back there

Yep. They got bigger, faster, and younger too.

This is the type you wanna spend on as well. Young and still has potential to outplay the deal.

Oh I think he out plays his deal immediately. He was on the dumpster fire Texans…. He was a extremely good safety before that. SS that has hands to catch is hard to find.

He will be great for us in the run game, and In no way a liability in the pass defense.

Sirius XM just takes about yesterdays moves and called Justin Reid the most underrated bc of age, ability and cost

It was easily the best bargain of day 1.

If we get the Reid of the first 2 years it's a steal. If we get the version of the last couple of years, not so much, he really hasn't been that good on an admittedly awful team. I'm fairly ambivalent to this. But we're younger, faster and more physical - and possibly cheaper, so here's hoping.

I honestly think Sneed is a safety.

For those who have been around a few years, you know that "Gunslingiest" has a contact that sometimes feeds him stuff (he's been right on news a number of different times).

Man, 14m/yr for Marcus Williams seems like a good deal. I realize that financial resources are finite, but that seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Sneed crashed in the draft because he converted to safety in his final collegiate season and struggled with the transition.

Sneed is a CB - full stop. And he's damn good at it. What makes him special is that he's one of the rarer types that can play inside or outside with equal aptitude because he has the physicality and quickness to operate in the slot without a boundary and still provide excellent run support OR move outside and run with bigger, physical WRs and not get pushed off his spot.

Sneed is just a really good football player and trying to move him to a spot where he's had less success, when he's had great success as a CB, is just unnecessary.

My worry was the guy was making business decisions and not playing FB. I mean, **** that.

Thanks for the SB, but I'm not gonna shed a tear watching you pull outta KC

I think he simply lost a step. Undersized and not particularly fast or physical.

I think they went with Reid because they wanted to get bigger, faster and younger at the position. It was the right thing to do.

I don’t disagree with your comments, but I also think what I said was true.

He was undersized and not particularly fast before he ever came here.

I'll have to see if I can find the post I made about him the year before we signed him (the period of time when we were looking at Earl Thomas).

Good signing.

Small but positive sign: He correctly referred to the team owners as the “Hunt” family and not “The Clarks.” :)

I kind of expect Thornhill to look better with another rangy guy playing with him.

Also MahomesMagic has been full reerun the last day and a half.

According to the folks at OverTheCap, Reid’s contract with the Chiefs carries a total of $9.9 million in guaranteed salary over three seasons and a $10.5 million-dollar signing bonus prorated over the life of the contract. His cap hit in 2022 will be an affordable $4.55 million before ballooning to $12.7 million in 2023 and $14.2 million in 2024. The hope for the team is likely that the salary cap continues to balloon with new TV deals around the corner. The key here, however, was keeping that Year 1 cap number as low as possible.

I am surprised that overthecap.com has contract information already. I thought this was NFL Legal tampering period (52 hour window) so contracts become official later.

It's probably a leak. They can't sign the deal until tomorrow at 4pm eastern.

If the information gets reported to the NFLPA and you have a NFLPA membership, you can access that info and then places like overthecap and spotrac can get to it.

Sidenote - overthecap.com also has Michael Burton's new contract.

1 year, $1,120,000 Base, $152,500 Bonus, $580,000 guaranteed, $1,047,500 Cap. Chiefs will have $732,500 of dead money if they cut him. The contract does not guarantee Burton of being the Chiefs FB this year, but kind a waste of $732,500 if he isn't.

Let us know when Frank Clark's numbers are up. I've been check Spotrac but they haven't updated yet.

For a deal to happen, it has to be reviewed by the league office. Reporters typically get this info bc they're s lot of admin personnel involved in such a review from the team, player agent and league.

Maybe he already hit up Gracie.

The honey badger was one of the few current players at this wedding this weekend. Glad to see Mahomes is smart enough to not confuse team business with personal like or dislike of said player. Many more will come.

I was told I was reeruned when I said Trevor Lawrence was not generational.


I have all the screen shots from that.


:thumb:

So I'm seeing a lot of Reid deep. Is he replacing Money Badger or Thornhill? We moving Thornhill?

Or is this yet to be determined?...

Don’t look at it as a FS/SS thing. They’re interchangeable now with Thornhill and Reid being able to play both.

Once they put Dan back there I couldn't look at it as a FS thing...

just realized this is eric reids brother. Hope he stays sane.

Seth Keysor newsletter says he arrives at the ballcarrier "heavy." Interesting way to put it.

Like how my boner arrives at the poontang.

Punani.....

I think its a flexibility thing. Last year teams knew dan shouldnt be deep, and if he was throw at him. This year you wont have that luxury. Thornhill and Reid can rotate and make it harder to determine whos going where.

The more articles I read about him, the more I ****ing love this deal.

Can't wait to see him in a Chiefs uniform next year.

The more people cry on Facebook the more I want to get rid of HB

No other team is jumping to snatch him well maybe the Saints but he ain't going do anything there but eat gumbo. I think that is his native area anyways and Saints are under major rebuild need coach and quarterback. He can make money because they won't be spending much else on FA.

We're already rid of HB, he's a free agent and we didn't offer him a contract.

People need to stop worrying about it, he's gone.

Interesting that the one year(2018) Reid and Mathieu played together in Houston, they had almost identical production. Only difference is Reid had more ints vs Mathieu having more sacks.

Makes sense given Reid was a FS and Badger an in-the-box SS. The big thing here is Mathieu was a 6th-year veteran while Reid was just a rookie.

PFF graded Mathieu 78.1 overall and Reid 75.2 that year. Reid followed that up with a 76.2 overall grade in 2019 after Mathieu signed with KC.

Kid has some untapped potential for sure!

He's also bigger and faster than HB.

What I can’t figure out is, how can armani watts and Dorian odaniel be worse than some of our rotations. And if these guys can’t beat out a Sorensen then what purpose do they even serve?

His speed pops on screen. The secondary got more athletic with this signing.

Chiefs twitter is filled with people crying for Mathieu to come back. It's ****ing pathetic.

If his market dries up which is looking likely...bring him back.

Reid, Mathieu, Thornhill. Thats a nice set of safeties!

Id do it!

Watts is just flat out terrible. He's completely lost on defense, has no idea where he is most of the time.

Nope. I'm not paying any amount of money for that shit attitude. They didn't offer him anything before he left. That says everything you need to know about them wanting him back.

I can't imagine how the chemistry of things would work even if Mathieu's market completely collapses.

It would be like divorcing your first wife to marry a younger, more attractive model (and giving her the ring the first wife wanted), but then bringing the first wife back into the house to manage the household.

She didn't get what she wanted and is brought back in a lesser role. Not exactly conducive to happy, productive steps forward.

This dude sounds super impressive. Sounds like a Coach. I like

Everyone talks about him being a sceince major or something and extremely smart.

This guy is a gawdamn natural in front of a mic. He's not just laying BS, he's got depth. Very interesting to listen to.

Why the hell is he cosplaying as Django tho....

I could listen to Reid talk forever.

Impressive young man! Seems he wants establish himself as a leader right away. Good stuff!

I'd say the fedora works man...not many can pull that off...

Stanford educated

But you could have a 3 way..:)

You can tell he's a smartie. Can't wait to see him on the field this Fall.

Of course Adam Teicher can't figure out a ****ing Zoom call.

He can be the new Sorenson

He's got a future as a TV analyst after his playing days, if he's not too busy also building a multi-million-dollar business.

What a dirtbag he is

That made me laugh my ass off!
ROFL

I love how he said he's seen the importance of having a good vocal leader, and also the problems that arise when you don't have one...seems like a swipe at the Texans, but well done...

Nah, then it would be bringing in the younger, springier model as a sister wife, not a second wife...

Am not a bit surprised at this. It'd be different if he never used Zoom regularly, but I'm sure he's on multiple calls daily.

Or is he? ROFL

Burton is a LOT more important than we may think. It seems he gets a lot of trust in 3rd and short scenarios.

That 1st video in the OP....Ooooof that's some stuff to get excited about.

Some Chief fans were in full panic mode after three days of free agency- Veech is ****ing tearing it up so far.

I was surprised that none of the reporters asked if he reached out to his brother to get the lowdown of the organization
