But, Hill was undrafted, they still go super deep at that position and can part with someone without to much of a problem.

I don't really see the point in just holding on to so much cap space. Extend Hill and/or Jones if you're not going to address cornerback

I think it's there because they want the option to address CB, as much as some people don't like Trae Waynes, he would give the Chiefs a lot of depth at the position.

5th round pick

Ah he actually got picked ok, either way they still go super deep at that spot.

Hughes blew out his knee last year as well, IIRC.

We saw what that blown ACL did to Gaines just as he looked to be finding his footing. Some guys get back to where they were, other guys just never quite get there and the line between success and failure is so narrow in this league that 90% of what Hughes was is probably not even NFL caliber anymore.

If they're going to be without Hill for 8 games now (and Hill had drug issues at Texas, hence him falling into the 5th) and Hughes is an injury questionmark, it's hard to say they're all that deep at this point. Hill may just get cut outright if they decide they can't trust him, especially if this has something to do with his teammate getting busted for distribution and an "HH" showing up on the police report (at least that's my memory of what was going down around him).

They'd be wise to hold onto him at this point, IMO. Alexander is a little undersized to be on an island so I don't think you want to go into the season with him being your next man up at CB2 in the event Hughes isn't ready yet.

EDIT: Here's the Hill incident - it's when Roc Thomas got busted for possession.

The Vikings just cut Thomas yesterday and presumably the possession issue had something to do with it. I wouldn't assume that Hill gets through this with a roster spot at this point. Incredibly stupid move on his part - dude was a 2nd day talent but/for his history at Texas and to latch on, make waves and STILL fall into that life...ugh, idiot.

Rhodes is a beast and I'd take that contract off their hands gladly.

If we were gonna trade for one, that's the one I'd want.

Bad knees are no joke, bro. Check out the x-ray from my knee replacement:

:doh!:

I did not know this. Unfortunate.
If he doesn’t want to wear red and white...f him. Next.

That's my condition. As far as I know, there have been no extension talks just yet and they're still focused on Jones/Hill.

IF Fuller is unwilling to discuss an extension, then maaaaybe I'd consider a Waynes.

Yeah, if Fuller doesn’t want to play here, that changes a lot, smh.
Players always talk about how they appreciated being wanted. Makes life easier they say.

I KNOW the fans and fo have to love the guy, right? So why does he not want to reciprocate?

You're not understanding what he's saying.

Fuller has never indicated that he doesn't want to be here.
