I think everyone would agree that OT was our weak spot last season

Only questions on the Oline heading into the postseason and Super Bowl were the tackle positions. Makes sense the Chiefs would want to upgrade both, especially after Mahomes got hurt.

If they land Tunsil, I'd imagine an elaborately enveloped order was sent down from the quiet Don Clark Hunt to his top assassin Brett Veach and it simply read "LVIII".

This is nonsense. Yes, teams can find ways to manipulate the cap but it is still there. And it serves the purpose of keeping competitive advantages to a minimum.

Keep posting boys. We’re going to will this into existence.

Bengo: "We need to get better at Offensive Tackle."

Chiefs: "Oh yeah, you do. Hey, look, there's a free agent RT who would be perfect for you guys..."
Bengo: "Jawaan Taylor? I know!!!"

Chiefs: "Yeah, I'm going take that."
Bengo: "That's a lot of money. Are you sure he can play LT for you?"
Chiefs: "Remember how we were talking about trading for Laremy Tunsil?"

Bengo: "Yeah, but you can't do that now, obviously, right?



"Right?

"Right?



"Chiefs? Chiefs, are you still there?"

Chiefs: "Oh, hey, sorry. I was just wrapping up the trade for Tunsil. Texans gave him to us for a 3rd this year and next. Can you believe those idiots?



Bengo? Bengo, are you there?"



Bengo: "I'ma... I'ma.... I'ma gonna go watch some highlights of the 2021 AFC Championship Game, OK? Bye."

So basically, we went from “**** it, Tyreek down there somewhere” to “**** it, someone will get open eventually and no one will be within 3 yards of me anyway”

The peoples of other NFL teams do not like trading their guys to the Chiefs. They all be wearing rings the following winter.

You could essentially say "We're gonna lock up the best two tackles we can and we will add to the interior as we go via the draft, which is usually easier".

Man, if this happens…I can’t wait to read the Chiefs haters.

“Rigged”

“Salary cap is a myth”

“Cheaters”

And of course, the delusional fan who thinks the Chiefs will fall apart any second now:

“Look at those stupid Chiefs investing their money in QB, OT, and Pass Rushers while drafting cheap quality DBs, LBs, and Receivers. Chargers are taking the West. Bengals to the Super Bowl.”

Wait, wut?

While this would be cool, I'm still skeptical. I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

Also, it is L'Jarius SNEED, not Snead.

Texans ESPN reporter says deal is dead, they are not shopping Tunsil anymore.

I'd guess one of them was option 1a and one was 1b and they moved how they did.

It just doesn't make sense to do a trade now, considering they need to fill some other holes IMO.

LMAO y'all gotta stop falling for this Texans bullshit

We didn’t post enough

Texans beat reporter.

I don’t think it will happen, but it’s not really dead until he signs an extension or gets traded somewhere else.

Could just be a negotiation tactic.

I still have very little faith this will happen, but “not actively shopping” doesn’t equal “dead”.

I like it. Post it back into existence!

I belief!

Edit: Sorry for some reason I can't figure out how to post a tweet....Anyways it looks like this DJ person could just be responding to a tweet by Matt Verderame that the Chiefs plan to play Taylor at LT. SOOO could still be on the table for a Tunsil trade!

We absolutely could still be in the market for Tunsil or any LT really because the Taylor contract is a Veach special. I fully expect him to restructure the agreement each year to bring the cap number down (it’s only $6mm this year and with future restructures would be $12mm in 2024 and $21mm in 2025 — essentially eating up the $40mm guarantee). You then face $21mm in dead money or extend him and do it all over again. Bottom line is there is plenty of potential cap space to bring on Tunsil and pay out a $20mm avg salary because the Taylor contract won’t be anywhere near a $20mm avg (more like $13mm/year).

You just can't help yourself, can you?

No clue what this means, he just posted it and doesn't post a whole lot. His last post was retweeting Mahomes 2 days ago.

Damn. That would have been very Veach of Veach to Veach.

The Dolphins' fans seem excited

Tunsil also liked Jawaan Taylor’s post about Chiefs Kingdom.

One of two things.

It’s either the H-Town sign.




Or….

He’s spelling out “CHIEFS”, but intentionally out of order to confuse people.


This is going to be so freaking epic.

It's got to ne the second one. Plus we are trading CEH, MVS and all of our 7th round picks this year to get him. It's going to be epic.

I can't imagine this guy wouldn't want to come to KC over rebuilding in Houston

Can’t imagine most players wouldn’t want to play here. That doesn’t mean they will take a discount to do it though.

No but Mahomes contract is a steal right now... If we got him our offensive line would have early 2000's potential

It is a steal and always will be based on how high QB contracts are going. I am not against bringing in Tunsil to give us an early 2000s line, but this team will be fine without him. They finished 14-3 and won the SB with Brown Jr and Wylie at our T spots. I feel confident that they can continue that as long as they don’t have a SB 55 line.

I think his ankle and body in general would disagree with you.

Gotta LOVE "What If's"

patrick got banged up these last two years for sure

solidifying the line so he has no more bad injuries accumulating into his 30s would set the franchise up better for when his body finally does start to deteriorate in his mid 30s

patrick has now had three pretty bad lower body injuries and played through all three, you'd like to stop the accumulation of issues there before something really bad happens

thank god nothing has gone wrong with his upper body

It's 23% of the cap. In '22, it was 17% and no team had won the SB with a single player (QB) counting more than 13% EVER.

You guys have got to understand the realities.

OK and you need to read the room.......... Mahome contract is 100% a steal and will continue to be a steal for 5 years....

Wait till you see Burrows new deal.. Or Hurts

Would you trade for him Clayster?

I hope CEH is aware that he’s being traded for Tunsil straight up.

Mahomes style of play brings that upon himself though. It’s a double-edged sword

Another reason to get the best OL you can!

Tunsil and a 7th, which Veach will use to draft a small school EDGE guy nobody’s heard of who will end his career as the all-time NFL sack leader.

Maybe Veach is planning on Tunsil playing both ways as a LT AND DT so that the money works better

No way Veach is still chasing Tunsil. we've got our LT at this point, and our RT in Niang. I think he'll draft a OT prospect (wright?), maybe sign a vet journeyman OT, and Andy will roll with that. No sense wasting more resources for another $20M/yr OT.

He got banged up scrambling because he didn't have an open receiver, not because of his OL.

When you watch the All-22 of the SB you can see that our guys were clamped up that game too. If a guy got even a little open, Mahomes found him. It's a testament to his greatness, but people who only know how to read a stat sheet will never understand it.

He took everything the defense gave him that day, didn't leave a scrap on the plate. But the reeruns will still go, "herp derp 200 yards".

Yeah only question for me is if they took a tackle high who they like on the left side and better than Niang, would they consider starting a rookie there and keeping Taylor at RT.

Maybe. It at least makes a lot more sense than throwing draft picks and $$$ at Tunsil, who is undeniably a great pass-pro LT, but commands $25M on his next contract. We just signed a $20M guy, that has the tools and some experience playing LT. Don't see Andy locking up that much in resources for two guys that basically play the same position.

Andy is about weapons, not buying the best fort to hide behind.

Part of the wear and tear on his body is a product of his play style. He will do whatever it takes to score and that sometimes means taking more hits than he should. The high ankle sprain is what it is. Not saying put scrubs on the line, but KC also doesn’t need five All Pros on the line to succeed.

Yeah Tunsil makes no sense, like keeping JJSS when they invest that money in a WR1 doesn't either. No problem paying Taylor 20 to play RT if they get lucky with a tackle as BPA early. Viewing Taylor as flexible bought them a valuable option going into the draft.

Hope this works

Ummm this year and last year weren't even close to as physically demanding as 2020.was it wasn't just the super bowl that he got killed in. That interior line was dog shit, Mitchell Schwartz was playing injured and then was out. He got his ankle hurt early and then reinjured it when dumbass stepped on it. He wasn't nearly as mobile as usual.

That guy knows how to use social media. But, can he make sure that Mahomes takes no blindside sacks?

Tweet deleted.

What was it??

Zero chance it's us even if he's being traded.

Don't know. It didn't last long. 88 should of screen grabbed it.

Stand down soldiers he just had a massage with one of Deshauns girls tomorrow.

It was a Tik Tok video with "when you can't sleep because you're excited about tomorrow" or something along those lines.

So what did the tweet we can no longer see originally say?

He posted a video/meme indicating that he couldn’t sleep tonight because of something big happening tomorrow.

clearly clark sent him a text and told him to delete it

Clearly.

Obviously

Based on the feed dtrain shared, Aaron Wilson seems pretty adamant that the two sides have spoken about Tunsil to KC but he's not sure if that will culminate in a deal. With Veach, I won't rule it out. In fact, if there's that much smoke I would lean more toward Veach trying to get it done than not.

I'm going to channel my inner Clay. The deal is done for LB Willie Gay, 2023 2nd, 2023 4th, 2024 1st, and 2024 4th. Because why the **** not.

I'm not sure I want to spend draft capital when we already gave decent money to a guy who'd be RT if it happened BUT... our OL would be completely insane. Mahomes wouldn't get touched all year lmao

How high does Tunsil rank in the league OTs?

no, just no bro ;)LMAO

Near the top if you're talking about pass blocking.

Sounds like a done deal to me!!!!!

I wouldn’t be all that mad if we made that deal.

Tunsil is the best pass blocking OT in the nfl. His presence upgrades the entire offense and adds a force multiplier to an offense with a few force multipliers already and we still have first this year.

That could legit be the best OL in NFL history.

https://texanswire.usatoday.com/2023...laremy-tunsil/

He's apparently not far off, per the above article...

2024 1st
Multiple high value picks
A Player

Instead of Gay, could also be Sneed potentially, but I'd hope for CEH.

BUT doesn't he only have 1 year left on his contact in HOU, and doesn't he want a new top of market deal? ...Shouldn't that drive down the price some?

If not, that's a pretty hefty price without seeing how the draft plays out first imo.

He heard a bag of mini Milky Way bars on his nightstand start mooing

1st and 3rd this year. 1st next year and Hardman or CEH? WTF? That’s way way too much.

Hardman?

Bart is so good he can trade away players who aren't even on our team :tinfoil:

one 1st, plus additional pick(s), plus a player... is the request, we're told.

But Ive gotta think it'd be less considering he condition of his contract

I'm off this bandwagon since we signed Taylor. Our zero depth behind Toney, Skyy, and MVS is more concerning. We really need somebody or the WR core will collapse at the firse injury, which will be Toney.

I have significant doubt that "Taylor to LT" is anything but a well-crafted illusion. If KC doesn't trade for Tunsil, they are probably moving up in the first. There's no way on Earth that the Chiefs do something like that IMO.
