get rid of one $100 mill guy for a $105 mill guy that's younger and had 14 sacks last season, 9 before that and over 10 the year before that. It is what it is, I have no control over it.

It feels like Veach always comes out on the losing side in trades. I like getting Frank but at that price and with that contract...**** that's a lot.
I was just hoping for a mediocre or just slightly worse defense this year but with a move like this, we better be like 13th or 14th at worst. |

There are still quality LB's available in FA and its usually a spot young guys can produce in. Defense is not that far away. |

I think the compensation is too heavy, but it's better to overpay and get a proven player than to take your chances after the best prospects are gone in the 1st round. |

We still have 2 seconds this year
Let’s go get our back-to-back rings |

So what picks do we have now? One second rounder? Or both still with them getting a 2020 second rounder?

But at least we have pass rusher kind of settled now and can focus on the secondary. |

So let's forget about the 3rd round swap. The value of the 2020 2nd round pick is probably half of the value of a 2019 2nd round pick, but I'll assume 75% to be conservative. That means that our 2019 1st and 2020 2nd are worth roughly the 20th pick in the draft, and that's being conservative (i.e., it's likely more like the 22nd pick in the draft). Can we get an impact player in the 20-22 slots this year? Who is even remotely comparable to Clark? I can understand not being thrilled with the trade on some level, but to say Veach got fleeced is to not understand how teams who deal in analytics rather than 'CP emotion' value picks. |

We just got dramatically better. Did a little digging on his domestic violence issue too; and it appears that it's not as bad as it was initially reported and he's been a model citizen since. So I have concerns there, but I assume The Chiefs did their due diligence. As for on the field, this guy is a ****ing monster. STUD. Look at him just throw Fisher into Mahomes in that clip. HOLY SHIT. |

This team has already made a significant upgrade in run defense by getting Damien Wilson for base downs and Frank Clark/Alex Okafor on the edge.
Breeland was a 2nd corner who was going to get paid but didn’t bc of his foot and we got him for a deal. Now add Honey Badger who is much better than anything we had at safety last year. And now we have 3 picks in the top 85 to add to the secondary. Defense will be much improved this season. |
I hope this guy is the best pass rusher we've had since DT passed because it's going to take pretty much that or VERY close to it for me to see the value in this deal. I need the player to succeed so I hope he flies straight as an arrow and doesn't cause any issues off the field.
I will support the player because it is the right thing to do. But unless Veach's draft picks start hitting and fairly quick-like, I'm done with him. I don't understand how a person can be THIS shitty in free agency. He can't gather compensation worth a ****, but he doles it out as if there were unlimited cap room. Does he fancy himself THAT good of a contract negotiator, that he can structure everyone to avoid overlap so that we can keep the players we need to keep? Maybe. Maybe that's the ONE thing he's good at? I don't know. But so far, he hasn't been that impressive on his own. Getting Honey Badger when your cap purse is full of money is one thing, but grabbing a quasi-elite pass rusher and paying him 63 guaranteed when you barely have a LB or CB corps is not something I would count as being "great management". I'm done being lenient and understanding with this GM. I'm done defending him and backing him. And he gets ZERO free rides for being a scout that saw a great QB. That shit is done and gone. The honeymoon is over. |

Lol when last time a chiefs player did this |
Stop telling me to feel good about overpaying in the trade, overpaying in the contract and then trying to spin a whole feel good positive "WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM, DOMESTIC ABUSER FRANK CLARK!" Instagram post.
I have a right to hate everything about this trade, regardless if he's better than Ford, which he is. |
If you want elite talent you’re going to have to overreach in this day and age.
It’s obviously a win-now move. So let’s win now |

F*** you doubters. I don't even consider you real fans. I am making Clark my Adopt-A-Chief. You keep bashing him, I'll keep backing him.

Veach has made some very good acquisitions and a couple homerun hires in the defensive staff. It’s not as if you’re getting someone at 29 who will perform better next year than Clark. This team is well-positioned to win the Super Bowl and the draft hasn’t even happened. People need to quit bitching about minor details. |

If some of you guys have an issue with the "character" of the players the Chiefs are bringing in you can not be a long for the ride I guess.

I really hope there's a good defensive back still left in the 60s.

I’m going to take a wait and see approach but on the surface this trade looks horrible for KC.
Trying to find a silver lining, if Veach’s philosophy that there are 10-15 blue chip talents in the draft and everyone from the back half of the 1st on into the 3rd round are pretty much the same talent level, this move would make sense. |
Damn, 5 years! 63 for sho. Please lord let this one work out.

Not so fast!! Terez says we could keep Tyreek as well!!

The way is in 2 years when there is a strike/lockout that situation is going to sky rocket the cap because the players want more...that will help this team a ton.

Hunt was a unique situation. Video that goes viral, creates outrage, distraction in the middle of a potential SB run, was already gone for the rest of the year and at least half of the next, and he played RB. Can’t underestimate the positional value here. |
