If you can bring in Earl Thomas and get Berry back out there you do a ton right there to improve this defense...then you either hope a young guy or some dude like Breeland when he's ready signs up to finish out the year and you could easily be a super bowl team.

to the people that keep calling the defense a plan or a ____ year project. I just have to laugh at you. This isnt baseball. QB is playing elite on a rookie contract the Super Bowl window starts now in these next 5 years. Gets much harder when hes getting 120 million garunteed on a 185 million deal. Time to go all in is literally now.

Edit: He sat a year so its actually 4 years. Even more reason to speed this up

Agree. The plan is to win a super bowl. The previous plan as you say has failed this franchise for many years. KC has Mahomes on a cheap contract for 3 years. Go bold for 3 years before everything changes

I'd give up anything aside from a 1st rounder.

Why wouldn't you give up a 1st rounder? It's likely to be in the high 20's at the very least. Who are we going to get with that pick that would be better than 3-4 years of Earl Thomas?

This.

I think lots of people don't realize that this window is open right now, before this year lots of people bullshitted themselves into that this was a 7 win team and the window wouldn't be open until next year.

It doesn't help that Terez Paylor is pumping that the Chiefs are still an 8-8 team cause he said that before the year so you know how these guys are about coming off what they said.

You are going to give up a 2nd round pick plus a mid round pick for Thomas, and pay him with the money that would have went to Ford, Bailey and Houston? That would mean next year you are down two draft picks plus you need to basically rebuild your front 7.

Yeah, if you get rid of Houston Ford and Bailey, that's money off, but you've still gotta replace them.

He wouldn't get all of that money, also the Chiefs are having 18 million of dead money come off the cap next year.

I'm saying this team does have money in the coming years where they can pay him.

I'm not worried about next year, I'm worried about now and guess what you can sign some cheap guys and get the same production you are getting from several of these guys.

They drafted guys for those spots this year. They have to play and play well or this defense is doomed no matter what they do.

This.

What's the buzz on this fine Monday morning?

They need some Dl depth but if you don't think they can play KPass or Speaks then they are ****ed either way and need Thomas more to maximize this shot this year.

I'll only believe it when someone credible, like Nick Athan, is saying it! How's yo boi Clay?!
