Thoughts?

...outsiders don't seem to trust our DB development, but I don't think anyone in Chiefs Kingdom is concerned about the loss of Snead.

Maybe, **** no and no

There are always some surprise cuts during the preseason. Save the flexibility to see if there are any players available who make more sense than those currently on the market.

Agree with resigning Smith at a minimum. Do that now before some other team experiences and injury and desperation pays him.

I think signing a veteran left tackle is a definite need if Thuney’s pec is at all in question. You can’t trot a green tackle out there next to hobbled Thuney or young guard.

Has anybody said hookers and blow yet???

It sure would be nice to have a proper Thuney update.

If the current crop of LT's they have on the roster can't do what Smith did, we've got bigger issues. He wasn't that good down the stretch. Roll with the young guys.

There's some DE/DT's out there that could help. I'd imagine they're waiting to get signed after all the OTA stuff.

Couch-Potato 06-25-2024 07:13 AM

DE Yannick Ngakoue & LT Donavan Smith would be nice.

We just drafted a LT in the 2nd round. Play him and let him learn. He ain't gonna learn on the bench.

I hate to admit this but I agree with you. Kingsley needs a legit shot before they sign someone else. He will probably be on par with what we saw from Smith last year.

Set aside for team legal fees.

When everyone was healthy Gay was down to playing something like 25% of the defensive snaps wasn't he?

And then a RB... besides that, I'd just be thrilled to see some extensions get done soon.

That’s where I’m as well especially if you can get Smith for the same 1yr/$3mm deal. Pretty decent (and affordable) insurance policy if the young tackles are t ready for prime time (YET). The risk of the young guys not protecting the franchise blind side would be devastating.

1. Maybe rolling that $16m over to next year is the best decision.
...

Or if Veach knows he’s resigning one next year even if this year is a disaster or the player or spends the year being injured. Could use the $16 million to spread the cap hit to this year too. Maybe make it a little easier to sign one of our soon to be FA’s next year.

The issue is, for me anyway, we are going for the 3peat this year. Something that will be in relevant discussions long after we are all gone. We saw our SB hopes end in decimation because of the O-line.

You can almost be guaranteed one of the NFL’s best DE will be lining up against him in any playoff run. That’s a huge risk. That’s the only thing Mahomes can’t recover from and make plays, running for his life from ball snap.
