That might qualify for Dollar Tree

The PHI OL was the best run-blocking OL in football last season, and everyone's coming back. So I think we can rule out "if the blocking is shit," narrative.

Meanwhile Tits fans on death watch. They’re not wanting to get rid of Henry, and they just watched Brown play in a SB one year removed from their team. Now they add Henry and likely go back. Only to lose again to Mahomes!

And if Hurts holds up with all those QB runs.

So, Philly can't/won't sign their starting safety (who was a beast) but they can/will sign Henry? They do too much right for me to believe this.

Plus, they have a pretty lethal run game without him. I understand WANTING someone like Henry to reduce the hits on Hurts, but do they really NEED to go through the motions of trading for him? Even older and not quite what he was, he's not going to come cheap in terms of compensation or contract.

It's incredibly stupid when you look at how bad that defense was in the Superbowl and you let a talented guy walk to sign an old RB???

When you have an expensive QB, Running Back is absolutely a place you need to go cheap. Mid-late picks and cheap vets only.

He’s a headcase

I assume you are speaking of C.J. Gardner-Johnson.

He does have some mental issues, but he can play football.

Perhaps some of his issues are caused by leading with the head on some tackles?

Take out the QB runs. If they were so great then why couldn't their RBs run on us?

Meanwhile we trade for Toney and he's a SB hero. We get Dunlap off his couch and he gets a ring.

That is tight against the cap.

Other than a CJ extension (or, don’t shoot the messenger, a trade), any other contracts where the Chiefs could free up space?

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said on “SportsCenter” Sunday that teams around the NFL believe Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is available via trade. The Titans have a new general manager in Ran Carthon, and Tannehill is set to count $36 million against the salary cap in the final year of his contract

CEH for QB4

According to Arrowhead Addict, Kelce's and MVS's contracts could be restructured as well. I think they said that could free up about $10 million.

Chris Jones's March comments, "I'm a Chief for life. I will not play for another franchise!", indicated a new contract would soon be here. We are still waiting.

We will need between $5 to $6 million of cap space to deal with any roster modifications during the season. That will easily be acquired when KC reduces their roster down to 53 men. We have a lot of non-guaranteed contracts at $940K and $870K that will give us that needed space there.

What we don't have is cap space right now to add Jerick McKinnon or make a trade that requires extra cap space.

I'm sure Chiefs have a plan, we just have to wait to see it.

Makes sense.

Re Jones, Clark has recently said they would evaluate an extension over the next 3-4 months.

Sounds like we shouldn’t be surprised if they let him play out his deal and explore FA.
