Patriots won't even be making a serious offer for Watson as long as the Watson allegations are out there. I doubt Bob Kraft wants any reminder of his own incident but this Watson allegation is more serious.

At least in the Kraft incident people could say what the government was alleging would be legal in Nevada.

What the woman said Watson did would be illegal in all 50 states.

Watson is a fool if he doesn't report to the Texans camp if this case isn't settled since until that happens, he won't be traded to any team.

Reiff visiting the Bengals.

Options are thinning...

Veach must not want Reilly Queef

Uh oh sky is falling!

If Veach let’s Reiff sign elsewhere, all that means is he is planning to either draft or trade for his LT. Maybe a stop gap with the draft pick.

Vikings add Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson, source confirms

My only concern is that I don’t want a gaping hole heading into the draft. I don’t want to be in a position to have to pay a premium to trade up, or have teams jump us.

The other thing is a rookie LT and a (basically) rookie RT for Mahomes is a little scary.

It’s literally day 1 of free agency. Trades are still an option as well. Relax.

Washington is having a solid round of FA.

I’m not freaking out yet. I’m just not sure what teams would trade a starting caliber LT.

I trust Veach, just completely unsure of what he’ll do.

It’s got to be a team looking to shed money or gain draft capital.

It’s hard to find many in that spot. There are a few, though.

What would it take to get Tunsil from Houston?

They should be in full teardown mode.

Kyle Van Noy back to NE

New England is gonna be really good next year

Outside the qb

So the two players that the Bears offered in the attempted trade for Russell Wilson? Apparently Mack and Hicks.

You seem dumb.

Washington’s offense is nuts, even with Fitz.

Of course - expensive dude who count 25m against the cap this year.

I hope so. He's the only difference making wr left other than golladay which I don't think is realistic. Looking like we are going to get stuck with twatkins again.

Probably 1 year deal and drafting a center

I wonder if possibly re-signing Reiter and going with all vets on the interior means they’re pivoting to go after a LT and start 2 rookies. I thought for sure they were planning on starting a rookie at C unless they could get a Hudson/Linsley.

I was the first to say this wasn’t a possibility, but it makes your wonder now.

I just don’t see what LT they’re going to get at #31. Unless Veach is going to try and trade up.

And I would still draft a center for sure.

Ohh yea that’s why I said “go after”. I’m thinking plan B might be a trade up to go after one of those T’s.

I certainly don’t think they’ll sit at 31 and wait for a starting LT.

Still would surprise me, but maybe they think they can get away with 2 talented rookies.

My best guess would be Darrisaw or Cosmi....maybe. Who the **** knows, honestly.

Oh they might trade up for a LT

If only someone had said that earlier

ROFL

There’s no way Veach cut both of his T’s without having a plan b after Williams.

This is a front office that plans 3 years ahead. They weren’t not prepared for the possibility that Williams would re-sign with the 49ers, hence why they eventually got outbid. If it were Williams or nothing at LT, they wouldn’t have signed Thuney. They would’ve saved it all for Williams.

There’s another T that he really likes. I don’t know if that’s a current player that he feels good getting a trade for, or a prospect that he’s willing to trade up for, but it’s one or the other.

Hopefully it wasn’t Williams or bust. I’m not going to like Eichenberg at 31 if that’s the best they come up with.

At this point, move up to 11 in the draft and select Rashawn Slater. That IMHO is the BEST option currently. If it costs, then it costs. DO IT!

Uh no.

I am hoping the Patriots sign Eric Fisher to an incentive laden 1 year deal. I wouldn't be surprised if the Chiefs try to do the same thing if he is going to be back for the playoffs.

OK. That’s funny.

Yeah, I wish Lindsay well... really good player, love the attitude. Hope he ends up in an offense that can really exploit his talents.

Lol, he's not a speed guy. At all. People are infatuated with the name. I'd be surprised if they're in on Schuster. He isn't particularly special in any physical way. He's slow as shit, not very big and despite massive target volume he produced very little YAC.

He's nothing like our receivers. I expect them to get a bigger-body possession-ish type guy as well, but Schuster aint it. Think Watkins. Think Owens. Guys that can present physical matchup problems.

He ran a 4.39 40 yard dash LMAO

Yea Lindsay is definitely a speed guy, he’s just not quite Jamaal Charles.

God I hope not.

Right! A move like that would cost more than we gave up to get Mahomes. NO WAY!

He ran a 4.54. So idk wtf you're LMAO about.

He’s talking about Lindsay.

Oh **** my bad, i quoted the wrong guy.

I was talking about Schuster. Dumb on both our parts i guess.

Meh on Lindsey. He goes down too easy. Guys like Charles and Damien Williams (damn, I already miss him :( ) weren't exactly Larry ****ing Czonka in terms of power, but they had just enough pop and gravity in their running to not go down just from a tackler breathing on them.

He'd probably give us Charcandrick West-like production. If we need that type of back on the team, then great... sign him up. If we're looking for something better, just draft another guy.

At least we got Bell back!

I’m not really upset that we aren’t spending $6 million on a 33 year old TE.

LMAO

OMG the Chiefs didn’t sign an old over the hill TE. Oh the horror!

He’ll be 34 in a month and he clearly looked old last year.

Lindsay and Fuller in this offense would be unfair...speed for days with those guys. Kwon Alexander and Clowney/Dunlap still there too...come on Veach lets go.

I really would love Dunlap at DE. Alleviate the need in the draft since we may need to go OL in R1.

I'd rather have Clowney than Dunlap. He's the perfect SDE for this defense and I won't be told differently.

That over the hill TE had 400 more yards and 7 more touchdowns than the TE we did sign. But sure LMAO

Depending on the price? Sure.

As the #1 TE in the offense.....yeah. He wasn’t doing that shit here.

Yea I’m sure he would:

1. Be as prospective behind Kelce as a TE2.

2. Want to be a TE2 when he has a chance to be a starter elsewhere.

He's great against the run too. Clark, Jones and Clowney would be a great trio for our D-line. Are teams really gonna be brave enough to leave Clowney one on one? Lol.

Ok, cut those numbers in half. You know what, cut them down by 75% and they're still better than Bell.

For one year I'll take the much more talented "over the hill" guy. At least Kelce can get a breather here and there with cook in the lineup. And at least when teams do double him and Hill, Cook is a reliable pass catcher on the other side.

Whatever though, we need to knock the WR2 position out the park now. Either Juju or a trade or a high pick in the draft.

LMAO LMAO LMAO

Jared Cook wasn’t going to sign to play backup TE for backup TE money when he can be a starter and potentially get starter money.

JFC you’re absolutely clueless.

Ok Cook stan ROFL

Why would they when they can just leave Clark 1v1 as they did most of last season.

You're right. No way we could have matched what the chargers gave him in order to persuade him to come to us. I mean a whopping 1 year 6 mil? Crazy money!

Jared Cook had as many sacks as Clowney last season.

LMAO

That’s still not backup TE money you dumb ****. Especially for a team that doesn’t use 12 personnel often.

You’re also ignoring the part that he likely wants to continue to be a starter or at least have an opportunity to start.

Every time you try to talk football it becomes more obvious that you don’t have the slightest ****ing clue what you’re talking about.

He was still getting doubled..so cut the bs please. Also it's about having another guy who can create pressure and at least get six to eight sacks along with the sacks Clark and Jones get..Clowney's ability against the run would also be very important.

Clowney was injured last year dummy...which is why we could hopefully get him on a cheap deal :thumb: .

I know it's not backup TE money. Cook would be more than a "backup" for us.

Keizer and Yelder played 496 snaps last year

Cook played 466 in New Orleans

Stop acting like he would get a bunch less snaps playing here. He would get as many or maybe even more snaps and he'd still be a legitimate weapon especially in the red zone.

He played enough games to have more sacks than a tight end...

It’s not about snap counts dumbass. It’s about targets. Cook is a receiving TE. He wants targets when he IS on the field. Not blocking assignments.

The Chiefs ask their TE2 to block more than anything. He’s not going to see anywhere near the same amount of targets as a TE2 in this offense.

Cook had 60 targets last year.

Keizer and Yelder combined for 20 in an offense that throws the ball more.

Cook is obviously going to see more targets as the #1 receiving TE in the Chargers offense as opposed to TE2 behind Kelce. Are you seriously arguing that he’s not?

The Chiefs don’t use 12 personnel enough to expect them to sign a guy like Cook that is basically a big WR. It’s really simple, but of course your dumbass makes it difficult.

Raiders signed Kenyan Drake to a 2 year, $14.5 million dollar deal.

ROFL

Hmm, maybe Keizer and Yelder had those low number of targets because they're ****ing awful at anything receiving related?

Nah....can't be LMAO.

LMAO

Orrrr maybe it has something to do with the fact that the Chiefs essentially have 2 top 5 receivers that eat up an enormous amount of targets. Not to mention other weapons at WR and RB.

Nah.....can’t be.

If they wanted another receiver like that at TE2, then why haven’t they once gone after a guy that fits that mold in Reid’s tenure? Even Harris, who was a great athlete, was used more as a blocker than anything. You don’t think that’s by design? You don’t think that says anything about the scheme and their philosophy?

Good ****ing god you’re absolutely clueless.

The Raiders are just terrible at everything they do.
