Love this signing. I wish it was for more than one year. I’m not counting on Gordon being a factor but if a full offseason and camp gets him able to be a contributor then look out. I am not counting on him though and would draft a WR fairly early.

I know people hate to hear it, but if we can get Sammy Watkins for cheap and shelve him for much of the year we’d have a tremendous WRs corp. Pick him up and draft a young gun, knowing that Reid’s offense will take some time to get down.

Without Juju on the books yet, the Chiefs are over the cap. Gotta do something

Yeah, if we can land an impact WR in the first 105 picks then this is a much improved WR room.

That would give us 4 impact players at the position. Hardman was much better at the end of the season, even if he isn’t exactly what we want in a WR.

Grab a RB in the mid rounds and maybe a RT somewhat early.

The offense will be damn good. Maybe the best total cast Mahomes has had so far.

Or OBJ.

I can’t be down with that. This team has outstanding chemistry. Don’t need that locker room poison.

also have Gordon.

Just saying if he can get back to what he once was.

The empty sets with Reek, Kelce, Hardman and Juju are going to be so sexy.

Contract year Juju and contract year Hardman are excellent chess pieces when teams try to take away Kelce and Reek.

Old dudes just love the "culture" angle. It's an asinine argument

I don’t think he makes the week one roster.

For everyone worried about Juju and Jackson Mahomes on TikTok


...don't watch TikTok


Problem solved

Wouldn't hate that at all if as you say, he were cheap.

Justin Reid, by all accounts, isn’t just replacing Tyrann as our top safety. He’s also a leader.

And to be honest, he might be better in that role, as he’s not prone to emotional outbursts like Tyrann.

Tyrann was a little bit of a drama Queen and distraction last season.

And where was he in the playoffs? Love the dude, but glad we are paying him for what he was

I didn't mind him being a drama queen I minded him making business decisions in regards to tackling which as it turns out is a pretty key aspect of a good defensive player in the NFL

He is that wild card. Maybe it clicks with an off-season in the program. If it does watch out.

but most likely this.

Old people don't watch TikTok, btw: you'll be 'old dudes' a LOT faster than you think, just wait.

He never looked like he deserved to be out there last year, not sure what improved as he got even older to think he may magically transform into his younger self, either.

He’s done, but I respect him for not giving up on his dream.

I'm 46 I'm just not an idiot that listens to AM radio all day.

understood :)

yeah, wasn't white knighting but just a mention - time goes by at a surreal rate, it seems.

This dude is going to be so good in this offense.

And he'll make Hardman better when he's blocking on these plays.

Interesting speculation. Burt Vartch is just ****ing the salary cap at this point.

It’s a different game when desperate teams are the chasers and we’re the ones being chased

Thats awesome! Veach is a freaking genius. Its this kind of thinking that allows him to make the moves he does.

If you look at the FA signings so far, Veach is the only GM that has somehow managed to get great deals for the franchise, this early.

Almost every other GM has overpaid. Jags are the worst.

Building your team from free agents is the game of overpaying.

I mean, the Jags paid Christian Kirk 72 million ****ing dollars.


Christian Kirk!!

Dude never has never reached 900 yards in a season

How is it possible that Christian Kirk is simultaneously one of the most underrated and overpaid players in football?

I guess it’s proof that all it takes is one GM to fall in love with you.

You got some sources?? LMAO

Tyrann was absolutely a leader. Let's not start talking crazy just because he's gone. He has to be one of the best leaders in the league. Guys love playing with him and the number of guys that brought him up as a reason why they were excited to play for this D is astonishing.

Only $3 million base salary, so that's his cap hit right?

I never said he wasn’t a leader…

very likely yes, depends if the incentives are considered "likely to be earned"

I totally forgot Big Ben was hurt an entire season and his QB was Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges who is now playing in the CFL LMAO

So bottom tier QB for a year then Big Ben being washed for 2. Damn. Only bad thing is we didn’t get this guy for a longer contract bc he’s going to break out IMO

ROFL This! Excellent point- Veech would never do a contract like that.

If this is true, it means Brett Veach got JuJu for half the cap hit this year of what the Bears are paying Byron Pringle.

There is no misspelling of his name extreme enough to indicate how great that is.

I’ve been saying it. It’s going to be epic.

Juju is nice. I've been watching his highlights. Two 97 yd tds. I cant wait to see what he does as our number 2 WR.

Didn't seem like he poisoned the locker room too much in LA...

The same people who say that shit will freak out if OBJ ends up with another AFC West team.

Bring in good players. Trust Mahomes and Reid as leaders.

Brady was able to keep Antonio Brown in line long enough to win a title. Mahomes can do the same.

For 1 year, if we sign OBJ…they would have to be one of the most entertaining group of playmakers ever.

Mahomes
Hill
Obj
Juju
Kelce

I wonder what Mecoles trade value might be?

Holy shit, they're not signing OBJ LMAO

We should take the opportunity to trade with Cleveland right now for Hunt. With Watson they are not going to be running nearly as much.

We might be able to steal him back for a third rounder ��

I'd came!

One thing about JuJu is he moves the chains.

I assume they draft a WR in the first 3 rounds

Not with DK on the way before the draft and Juju already here.

AMIRITE

look, they were rumors

You can't insult someone for making wild suggestions out of one side of your mouth then claim to be an insider with idiotic rumors out the other side.

Yes you can.

lol I stand corrected. You shouldn't

OBJ won't be ready until December.

For clarity, I’m not advocating signing Odell. Just pointing out that group would all be high level entertainers and as a group would be very fun to watch.

Veech is schooling other teams in the AFC West.

We will be reloaded by training camp. We are still the Champs of the AFC West.

All quaalude to that!!!!

If we get any other receiver I wouldn’t mind Sammy. You get him for a similar type of contract as Juju and he’s your 4th receiver. A true luxury that if he got hurt and missed time wouldn’t cripple us in any way.

I’ve been thinking about this as well… for WR depth you could do worse than Sammy Watkins if the price is right.

And I'd honestly be fine with giving him limited snaps until late season/playoffs just to keep him preserved for when the stakes are high

He knows the system and fits in well with the team...

An empty backfield set of Hill, Kelce, JuJu, Hardman, and Watkins would be tough to cover....

At the right cap price I would be for it.

Sammy had a cap hit of $5 million for the Ravens. I’d love to get the guy for a $3 million cap hit which can reach $5 million through incentives. Let him sit longer and I bet he’d love to come back.

It would be an enormous upgrade. Juju and Watkins>>>Pringle and Robinson

That contract would be something John Dorsey would do.

Only IF Andy/Eric let him.:D

I really think this year it is truly "the best player available" at DE,CB,WR and RT in the first 3 rounds. It could go either way with the first pick with DE,CB and WR.

Now with that said, IF they don't get their guy at DE at 30 they may go CB since DE's are deep this year. IF DE,CB and WR aren't there that they like at 30 they trade down IF they can.

Will be a fun draft IMHO this year.

If Juju can give us a 76% catch rate (like he had in 2020), Pat will feed him a ton of passes and have all the trust in Juju.

Juju bet on himself to do exactly that.

Hey JU..JU
Don't be afraid
Catch the football
And score a tou-uch Down
And remember to slam it into the ground
When you have found
The sweet nectar of the endzone

He’s going to be good, he also has decent speed and good to great hands.

I still think this is the most underrated signing of the entire free agency. Still only 25 years old, I firmly believe his best years are right now. The Steelers have been a dumpster fire for a while now, so I’m not surprised his production declined but if you look closely, when he was playing and Big Ben managed to get a ball to him, he produced. I’m insanely excited about this signing

That's gonna be a YIP from me dog!!!!

This Kiley guy nails it!:clap:

yoo!

I’m predicting 1,100 yards 8 TDS and a super bowl

Who does that?

Should just go ahead and trade Hardman. Seems he is just gonna cause issues and even if he doesn’t I don’t see anyway Veach gives him the contract that he will want in FA next year.

Don't you dare trade Hardman. His kind of speed is hard to find (actually, it wouldn't surprise me if he was the second fastest guy in the NFL.....right behind Tyreek). Plus, he's improved each year he's been here. I would not trade that kind of talent. The guy is a threat to score anytime the ball is in his hands. You go Mecole!!!

No. Dude is valuable if used properly...He's shown Reid who he is. Use him as such and he's a weapon.

I avoid it as much as I can, Chinese owned.

This, he was a slug.

Ward improved every year too....and they just let him walk! Go figure...

Not sure what he's complaining about... in 3 seasons his RECs have gone up while his TDs have dropped and the yards are about a 100 yards different. JAG ... fast JAG, but a JAG.
