Willie Roaf sucks!!

$15 mil for him? Eh…overpay in my opinion. He can’t cover anyone for shit

Well, I thought he was a bad idea before he even got here, and am record as saying so. I just thought he was a poor fit. He's not a typical Andy Reid OT, had slow feet, and was generally unathletic.

I think all of that is true.

I think Fisher was a good, but not great LT. Certainly the best we've had since Roaf, but nowhere near Big Willie. d

Smith was a downgrade, but still workable. I understand he's fully healthy now and wants to play. If so, I could stomach he and Humphries competing with Kingsley in TC.

I'd rather not tie up a ton of money in a less than average player like a Cam Robinson, but if Veach and Reid feel that's the best plan, I won't complain. I kind of doubt it, but I've rarely guessed right on what Veach is going to do in advance.

The Broncos were almost certainly gonna get him if we let him walk.

It's 100% true. Chiefs fans have bitched about every single LT since Roaf.

Hell yeah.

He was always going to get paid 12-15 average per year by someone. The Chiefs paid the top end of reasonable range because he means so much to this defense. Bolton elevates everyone’s play on the defense with his on-field coaching and implementation of a very complicated scheme. Worth it.

As a Mizzou fan he’s easily my second favorite player so I personally am stoked on this. Dude is a stud

Glad to see this, great news.

For the money keeping the quarterback of your defense who knows Spags system and who Spags adores it sounds good. You take the good with the bad with Bolton, but he’s better more times than not and a good investment, when he’s thumpin he’s ****ing thumpin!

In Veach we trust but I am struggling to understand why $19M per year to Sneed off a season where he was a top 5 CB wasn’t worth it but $15M to Bolton is.

I realize Sneed was bad last year but don’t think the result would have been the same if he stayed and he’s far better than what we tried to plug at CB2

Bolton being resigned is more about what he does for the other 10 guys than even his own self, beyond the Sneed knee stuff too.

People who don’t get this move — just always remember the intangible stuff. He’s another coach out there. That’s why he sticks.

isn't that about what we paid Anthony Hitchens?

seems like a good deal to me

Sneed was also one of those guys though. Drue was pretty good when he took over that role temporarily in 2023 and id have more faith in him taking over at Mike than I do Watson and Williams at CB.

He can't cover worth a shit but he's excellent at stopping the run.

This was a smart move.
