Get Golladay and Andrews. Draft Teven Jenkins by moving up.

I mean they can still upgrade at DE and WR but the talent to do much on OL us gone. You're at water treading stage there.

Exactly this! If you think the Chiefs are DONE making moves, look at that shiny amount of cap room.

They're going to go buy another OL, whether it's a T or a C upgrade or whatever.

They're going to go buy a playmaker at WR (It's a buyer's market right now).

They're going to go add a defender.

Chill out, people. There is more than one way to peel the potato.

They'll continue to try to swing big at LT I'd imagine.

Calm the **** down, man. We were in on Trent Williams. That was the only legit full scale upgrade at LT.

Yea because we can’t still sign Andrews and Reiff which would make you significantly better than the SB OL (without even including the draft)....

Reiff - Thuney - Andrews - Long - Niang

Yep. That’s a shit offensive line guys. Mahomes is going to get sacked 60 times.

There aren't swing big players there, if you sign Reif that's basically a wash with Fisher for likely a bigger contract.

Clearly no better than

Remmers - Allegretti - Reiter - Wis - Wylie

I'm not a Riley Reiff guy, he's very average in my view.

Disagree, man. There are upgrades available at C. There are lateral moves available at T from Eric Fisher. There are trade options out there that would upgrade at T.

In the words of Arnold Schwartzenegger: Chill out!

Didn't say it would be thru free agency.

Underrated post is underrated.

Point out these elite players were getting in here.

JuJu interests me now.

So Ward didn't get tendered?

They're not and that's where it gets frustrating, they're going to pay more money for similar play.

Yep. I’d get him in here on a one year deal if he’d take it. It would rehab his value for next year.

Doesn’t look like it. THAT is interesting.

Fuller maybe?

JuJu caught 100 balls last year it's not like he's some pud coming off a bad year

I don’t get the “lateral move” knock on Reiff. If we were getting a healthy Fisher, that’s still a major improvement from the SB.

We might not have an All-Pro LT, but if we’re better everywhere else, it won’t matter.

But you’re implying that that “similar play” is the SB. It’s not. And the IOL will most certainly be better.

Tendered Wylie and Keizer but not Ward? Wut?

I wasn't that high on spending that amount of cap on Trent Williams, so I'm not too upset that we didn't get him. I imagine Beach has his eyes on several guys that he'd like to go after.

If he didn't, I bet Dallas signs him.

I love the 'take' from some that O-Line wasn't a problem till the Super Bowl.

It absolutely was. We just ignored it because it didn't cost us games. But it was gonna cost us at 'some' point. And it ended up happening at the worst possible time.

Our O-Line was a shit show all season last year. We couldn't run the ball worth shit when we needed to. For ****s sake, Andy Reid had CHAD HENNE throwing passes with our season on the line on 4th and 1 because he KNEW our shit show O-Line couldn't pick up that one yard if they tried to run it. Credit to Andy. It was the right call (even if it didn't work) because we WOULD have been stuffed had we tried to run it.

Our running game SUCKED last year because our O-Line sucked. Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and Andy's play calling can only cover up that shit for so long. Most D-Coordinator's in the league are smart guys and will eventually figure out how to stop someone or at least slow them down. If we had an AVERAGE O-Line last year (free of injuries, of course) then we probably go 19-0. This team is THAT good. But our shitshow O-Line held them back and made a lot of blowouts close games because they couldn't create a proper pocket for Pat and couldn't make consistent holes for CEH to run through.

We needed a new O-Line in the worst possible ****ing way and if that means blowing up the entire thing from scratch and starting all over then you DO IT. It's not like it can get any worse. With Thuney, our run blocking should improve. So that'll help. But Fisher was average. Schwartz was shit all last year, including when he was still playing (probably the back injury we didn't know about at the time) and the interior was awful. The whole thing needed to be scrapped and Veach is doing it.

Major ****ing kudos to him for having the balls to do the right thing. Even if some people don't like it because the full 'plan' hasn't been unveiled yet. Give him time. It's day freaking one of free agency.

I swear some people think we're playing Week 1 this coming Sunday. LOTS of time till then. Be patient.

They didn't even tender him at the UDFA level...thats bad.

Keizer and not Ward makes zero sense. Wtf

Did we do this AND cut Williams?

The ****, Bert??

Cb is probably in play at 31.

Or they think Kyle Fuller is getting cut and want to go after him.

Ward was tendered. 2nd round level.

OMG ok now time to panic about something else

LJ Fort didn't get redone in Balt. That would be a nice replacement at SLB.

I’m seeing some other Twitter accounts posting that he was but nothing verified yet.

Absolutely.

Reiff or Villanueva are going to give you, roughly, the same type of performance as Eric Fisher. Heck, a rookie LT may be able to give you that, with how talented this class is.

A trade gives you the option to make a similar move or possibly even an upgrade.

They have the resources to improve at C if they want to. Thuney is a major upgrade inside. Shoot, I'd bet on Allegretti being an upgrade at C from Reiter.

Then they have the draft, too.

Orrrr hear me out...

You’re just a bleeding vagina today and couldn’t wait to confirm he wasn’t tendered.

We re-signed Niemann. God damnt.

Okay good on Ward but Niemann should be cut by camp.

Find something better. It shouldn’t be hard.

We have the stars and cornerstones on the team already and those need to come from the draft anyway. Supplement and fill some holes with value in FA.

A WR will be cheap now, A DE will be cheap too.

I may get to celebrate my Clowney fettish.

Not sure why he's kept around...

I’m hoping for Juju and Dunlap if we go that direction.

Good call brah

Woudln't be upset with it.

But man, Clowney at the SDE spot would be nice and cheap.

LMAO The butthurt if the Chiefs sign a top WR will be glorious.

Ya gotta believe it's coming

Stop trying to make Clowney happen. It's not going to happen.

I'd sign JuJu to a 1 year deal, sign Clowney, trade a 4th for Ertz.

Gotta find a C or a LT.

WTF BRANDT!?!? KEIZER AND NIEMANN!?!?

Excellent post. I admit I get a little impatient, but yes, the O-Line needs seriously addressed and seriously revamped. It just would have been nice to anchor down that LT spot, with a player that looks to be a future HOFer.

Reiff, Andrew’s, Juju and Dunlap.

Allegretti was drafted to be a center and he got his feet wet at guard and got to see what an NFL OL needs to be. Will have an offseason to improve. Or they get Hudson/Andrews in the middle if they don't think Allegretti can cut it.
LT - Thuney - Allegretti/FA - LDT - Niang. That's 80% of a damn good line.
The performance at LT last year isn't that hard to replace. Big Fish was hurt half the time and the rest of the time it was a backup. Don't act like you have to replace Willie Roaf, it's closer to replacing Remmers.

Sure.

But they did everything they could short of giving the largest contract in NFL history to an O-Lineman that is 32 and has had injury/health issues.

Would they be a better O-Line going into this season with TW at LT? Absolutely. But you can't blame them for not being willing to go above the contract that SF gave. You can't pay THAT much money to him. And, for all we know, he wanted to stay in SF all along and he and his agent were just using the Chiefs as leverage for a bigger contract?

Which, kudos to them, clearly worked. No way at his age and with his health history should he be making more than Tunsil and Bahktari.

Crazy.

No shit the guy is a whiney bitch.

*signs a top 5 guard *

Mecca: welp our line is no better than last years

Butthurt? Why.

More toys for Pat = More good.

It'd be awesome.

I think he means the rest of the NFL being butthurt.

ahhh, thanks, that would be true :)

The LG is better the Tackle position is not..Brian Waters couldn't save the guys he played with after Roaf.

This is going to be a line with heavy question marks regardless, whether that's because of rookies, a guy after and opt out or even signing a guy that didn't play for a year.

Just a ton of questions.

But you’re the only idiot that somehow thinks “question marks” means it will be the same as the SB OL.

And you also seem to think free agency is over, a trade isn’t remotely possible, and there’s no way we can improve through the draft.

Hudson to the Cards in a trade with LV

Let me know when we sign Remmers to start at LT and Wylie beats out Niang. Until then I won’t worry too much.

I didn't even say that, you said that. I said it at this point likely wouldn't be better than last year's OL. Most people hated that OL all year not just the SB one.

Apparently we're gonna line up 3 garbage cans next to Thuney and Niang next season...

It wont be butthurt, it'll be haters laughing it up and arguing that it won't matter because our Oline won't give Mahomes the time needed to make use of his new toy.

Still an improvement over the SB OL

Call me crazy, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing if they project Niang at LT and they re-sign Remmers at right.

I said it seemed like you were implying it by saying the OL “isn’t going to get better”.

Because if the OT’s are a wash, but we get upgrades throughout the interior, how’s that not better?

News flash: with a healthy Fisher and even Remmers, the T’s weren’t the problem last year.

I’m never watching or thinking about that game again.

The more I can mentally block it, the better.

You too? Jesus ****ing Christ.

FA literally just started and as of last night we were going after the best LT on the market. Calm the **** down.

The amount of confidence people have in Niang kinda blows my mind.

FIRE VEACH!!!!!!!!!

Unless we win the Super Bowl again

Then

EXTEND VEACH!!!!!

That's probably Bert's last resort.

Yea how can people possibly have confidence in a guy that when healthy was a 1st round talent? It’s not like you can hedge your bets and have Remmers back him up either!

Are you going for dumbass whiny bitch of the day? Because you’re earning it!

Right now we're staring at Riley Reiff or trading up for a rookie tackle.

Neither of those are ideal. Some want to call Reiff a wash vs Fisher. Im not sure that's true.

I get it, Niang gave Bosa and Young all they could handle.

But no one outside of KC is going to be impressed with Reiff and Niang at tackle.

So yeah, we can buy Mahomes a new toy (they're doing that one way or another regardless), but hopefully Veach has a great Plan B that we haven't dreamed up yet to get some protection.

With Veach things can change at a moment's notice, but at THIS moment, as of the timing of THIS post, the options for Oline look bleak.

At worst, Reiff and Niang are a wash with last years T’s along with probable upgrades throughout the interior.

Again, when Fisher was healthy and Remmers was playing RT, our biggest issue by far was the interior. You fix that and it’s a much better OL.

How exactly is that not good enough?

Probably because he was pretty well a consensus 1st round pick before he tore his labrum which ended up dropping him to the 3rd. Watching his 2018 tape is where you want to go, and it's impressive.

I can understand the reservations about nearly 2 years out of football and the need to knock off the rust but that's about as far as my concerns go.

And once again....Veach was close to getting Williams. What other options did he have?
