There's going to be a fair amount of churn again next year, we'll need DE, OT and WR, we'll probably want to keep investing at CB and DT is a dire need albeit you'd hope easier to pick up a reasonable FA. Think DE and OT have to be the first 2 picks, but man if Danna is more than a rotational piece I did not see that coming. If he looks good against the Chargers OL I'm going to start getting excited, even if it is Pipkins not Slater he lines up against.

Danna being the Kyler Murray of DEs seemed to have fired him up.

Hope it continues because he was reeking havoc on Sunday.

Yikes. This is like the Breeland Speaks sack that wasn’t against Brady.

I saw that during the game, and was, WTF!?!!

That stutter step was inexplicable

YOU HAD HIM BRO

Looked really awkward live but I think the angle is fooling us.

Looks like Danna squeaked through and his momentum was going to carry him past Burrow so he stopped to gather himself and change the angle. Unfortunately Danna is limited by his athleticism so it took him too long to collect himself.

Anyone else think it looks like he was changing direction as he regained his balance?

Not sure it's as bad as people are making it seem?

I guess we'll know more when the All 22 comes out.

Angles shmangles he blew it, horrible play

But this isn't all on Danna, far from it

5 sacks, 2 FF this year for Danna.

Will he get overpaid in free agency, or can KC bring him back? I really like the guy, he's the kind of player you'd love to keep around if some bottom feeding organization doesn't decide to pay him $10-12 million a year out of desperation. Pass rushers are always hot commodities.

Either way, another great low round pick by Veach who contributed way more than his draft position. This is the reason we will never have to rebuild, is because of Veach finding the Mike Danna's of the world.

He plays pretty well downhill.

We have him for one more year. Thankfully.

Stupid bump, my bad. Could have sworn he was in his 4th year.

He’ll be even better next year.

This guy needs to he starting opposite George for years to come.

Spags uses him like Justin Tuck. Undersized for a traditional DT but he trusts him to line up everywhere on the DL and get results.

What the hell is the league going to do when Kaindoh arrives next season like a BAMF too

I forgot he existed tbh

I realize we're high off the win, and he played a good game, but no. DE is still a top priority. Especially if we can get a pure speed guy. Just keep investing in both lines heavily IMO. Pat will take care of the offense (receivers), RB is whatever, and we're doing good in the back 7.

Given ages and contracts, you could make a strong argument for drafting a DL in the first 4 rounds every year. You need bodies and depth, so building the DL is never “done”.

Well, I think Nnadi and Saunders are both FA's. You have to keep Saunders IMO. Dunlap is probably gone as well I don't know if we draft another DE in round 1 this year so I'd prefer to have Danna there ready to go.

What is a "pure speed guy"? Is that code for OLB that can't really play the run?

That dude is a rumor of a whisper of a boogeyman.

Not sure if serious?

He's listed third on the RDE depth chart behind Clark and Dunlap.

Has he even played a snap this year?

Career stats say 3 games started in 2021 and zeroes all across the stat row.

He's listed as active. What gives?

I believe in Kaindoh, I’ve just never seen a clear picture of him. The DE version of Kris Wilson.

We saw the offense grind to a halt in the 2nd half on Sunday when all of the receivers were injured. Sure that's an extreme example, but it's a ridiculous argument that just having Pat is enough. He still needs weapons.

He never dresses for games.

This dude is playing like a beast so far this season.

Always thought he was a decent player, but I didn't know he had this kind of potential.

Right? There have been a couple stretches where he looks like the best DL on the field. And it's not like the competition is lacking.

love seeing him playing in the middle on obvious passing downs. That bull rush today I thought he was Chris Jones!

He's definitely developed into a solid player, nothing game breaking but he can play in the league.

This might be one of Veach’s absolute best draft picks. This guy was pretty much unheard of.

Even guys like Snead and Smith had a few people pounding the table for them late in the draft.

I don’t think anyone here said we needed this guy.

I remember when Direckshun was talking about Danna being cut LMAO

Right? I distinctly remember he was pretty inflamed about the possibility Danna would take some no name jagoffs job.

Danna’s evolution has been great and it can’t be underestimated how much Cullen has helped him since he came along. Just so nice to be one of those teams that can constantly find contributors in the late rounds.

LMAO Pretty sure it was Demone Harris. Dude has played in 14 games in 5 seasons.

Tribal Warfare was big on cutting Danna in the 2022 offseason

Between this and his Karlaftis take, the guy needs to just shut the flaming **** up when it comes to anything related to the DL

Lol and Tim Ward.

Man, remember that guy? How he's been sooooooo successful in the league since getting cut?

Direction would be the worst football poster on this board by a country mile if not for Tribal

Danna no longer looks like he’s wearing concrete blocks for cleats. He’s really turned the page.

I've heard Mike Danna's recent gingivitis diagnosis might keep him out for a couple of weeks.
The training staff really needs to start taking care of his gums.

I wonder if we can keep.him on thr cheap. Looks like he is a FA after the season

This dude is gonna get paid

He literally never did. The **** are you talking about?

I would like to see the Chiefs keep him. Unfortunately, he is exactly the kind of player that the Chiefs have shown a pattern of letting walk. Solid role player for us that will command a higher price elsewhere than the Chiefs are willing to pay. Just like Saunders last year.

Yeah, that makes no sense.

Danna has flashed a lot over the years, but this year he seems to have found the consistency. Maybe it’s the talent level around him that’s helping him be more consistently productive. Maybe it’s another year with Cullen.

Whatever it is, we’re fortunate that Veach found this guy.

Maybe he was confusing Danna for Frank Clark

And we’re gonna get a 3rd round comp pick for taking him in the 5th and turning him into a monster. Because that’s how we roll.

If something cannot be worked out with Chris then I think the best option is to pivot to Danna and see what you can do to bring him back. He obviously wouldn't cost $30 million. I am not even sure he'd fetch $20 million. I would absolutely look at bringing the guy back for around $15 million in that scenario.

If he gets more then he gets more. Karlaftis, FAU, Danna, Omenihu and a draft pick to pair with Thompson wouldn't be terrible by any means

I'm thinking $10-12 million/season over 3 seasons seems pretty gettable for him at this rate.

I don't think he'll get much beyond that but weird shit happens in FA sometimes. And it's a long season so it remains to be seen if he can stay at this level.

But that's also why PFF can kinda suck my balls most days. I watched the Lions game and came away saying "Hey, Danna played really good football" and PFF comes out and calls him a pile of shit. Then the next two weeks Danna CONTINUES to play really good football.

And I could see that before PFF did.

The guy's taken a step forward. Now it's a question of healthy and staying power. Really cool story though.

My guess is the Chiefs are thinking the same thing.

How would you compare a Danna deal to what Carl Granderson just got?

He's a backup. LMAO

Dude is not getting 15 mil

Trey Flowers was drafted by the Patriots and developed by Brendan Daly just like Mike Danna.

He never got 10 sacks but got a 5 year $90 million deal from the Lions

Mike Danna will get a nice contract for some scrubbish team that needs DL help probably something like 4-45 with a solid guarantee.

For the Chiefs you hope you can turn BJ Thompson or Truman Jones into something similar.
