He's been around for 2 years now so it's basically shit or get off the pot at this point.

Sounds like if he can get and stay healthy there's potential for a high upside signing.

I'll go 50/50

Vichyssoise with another low risk high reward move.

Comment on PFT regarding this trade:

"Why do people keep helping the Chiefs!"

Love It, GO VEACH!

Nice job Mr. Veach! Keep 'em coming! :clap:

Reggie Ragland.

Kelvin Benjamin.

Cam Erving.

Deandre Baker.

Mike Hughes.

If you’ve ever been mocked to the Chiefs but someone else swiped you from the Arrowhead NICU, just know: we’ll get you back. A Veach never forgets.

Such a smart little deal. Saves the Vikings a few bucks. Chiefs get a guy with upside.

I'm not sure what they're liking if he barely saw the field.

Speaking of our other second chance first round CB signee, where are we at on him... out of these two, who's most likely to stick?

On phone otherwise I’d embed

The #Chiefs have a fun looking young group of cornerbacks right now.

Charvarius Ward - 24 years old
Deandre Baker - 23 years old
L'Jarius Sneed - 24 years old
Mike Hughes - 24 years old
Rashad Fenton - 24 years old
BoPete Keyes - 23 years old

(I think these are correct)

If they're both 100% I'd lean Baker because other than the leg he's been ok. Hughes has a very extensive injury history.

Although most likely a move like this puts guys like BoPete Keyes on notice same as Will Parks should do to Armani Watts.

Baker was released after one season because he was a likely felon and potential attitude issues.

Hughes was released after a few seasons because of injuries and a lack of production.

You always go with the likely-felon-not-felon in these situations. That's Veach 101.

seems like a fine deal, low risk. Contract year so he'll want to play real good.

Small sample sizes on both obviously, but overall I'd give the production edge to Hughes based on his best season vs Bakers best

Not trying to argue for either of them really, both are a roll of the dice... just providing some stats to consider

So they got him for nothing and that's fine but the guy appears to be a broke dick. The ACL can be overlooked - it happens but I had forgotten about the broken neck. A broken neck for a CB is not a good thing at all. I wonder what he has left to offer. The trade for a late rounder is one hell of a gamble (being positive) - I hope it pays off and Spags can get him on point. Fingers crossed!
