Jason Peters, your opening day starting LT in 2021
 

That’s what’s happening. Then he’ll move to RT when Fisher is healthy, and Remmers moves to guard and we win 3 bowls in a row.

The end.

It’s almost getting too easy to predict.

So he admits he’s chasing a ring.

Yeah, KC makes a ton of sense. Would alleviate the need to reach for an OT. I wouldn’t sign him until after the draft probably though. If your BPA is an OT in the first couple rounds, won’t need him.

The Eagles have acknowledged they’re now in a retooling phase and there’s no way they can justify bringing back a 39-year-old left tackle who has struggled to stay on the field. Peters is one of the greatest players in franchise history but it’s obviously time to move on and Peters knows it too.

This guys is older than dirt/ Pass

He’s going to be on this team. It’s not even a question. His quote may as well have been “See you at camp, Andy! I love BBQ and winning!”

Older than dirt but will also be dirt cheap.

He’ll be here.

Yeah, we need another OT on injured reserve.

He's old and not good and injury prone. He'd be a disaster starter

You are aware Mike Remmers is about to start a Super Bowl at left tackle?

Jason Peters wouldn’t be worth having on this team on a minimal deal?

Interesting point of view.

Nah fam

Good ****ing grief

If we have 3 good ones, what are the chances 2 of the 3 are healthy for the playoffs?

That’s what you’re shooting for.

Good grief, no.

Offensive line play, more than any unit in football, is dependent on reps and cohesion. You don't want to be shuffling pieces every other week because of injuries.

You realize we don't have to choose between the two next year right?

And no, he wouldn't be worth having. He's old shitty and broken.

It's like we learned nothing from the Sammy Watkins experience.

Thanks for your usual brilliant input.

Let me save you some time; you’re smarter than me, you have connections, and nobody cares.

Feel free to stop replying.

He's old and injury prone. But this is a good situation for that. It buys some time for Niang. And it gives an extra veteran option which is fine since what we most need is someone to hold the fort down until fisher is back, right? But only at the right price of course.

By definition, a stop gap plays. You don't sign injury-prone players to be stop gaps.

Sammy has been one of the best wrs in franchise post season history tho

Until this year, when he hasn't played a snap.

39 years old.

Insane that he’s played this long, but he’s done.

We need young hungry players that can stay awhile- not turn into a retirement home for washed up players.

If Schwartz calls it a career, Remmers and Niang will start at tackle opening week. Fish back mid-season.

I've got a better idea, let's trade for Cam Erving instead.

He’s going to be here guys. I’m shocked you all don’t see it. It’s dirt cheap, no risk and familiar. Reid is not just throwing out 2 new tackles next year who don’t know the system. He’s certainly not lining Remmers up at LT to start the year.

I’m not saying he’s playing 16 games. He’s just the kind of guy who teams like the ‘new’ Chiefs sign. I think there’s an obvious connection.

You might consider it when that player protects mahomes' blind side. The hope is that niang wins the position. This just adds an extra layer of insurance. Maybe a game or 2 if niang isn't ready. If niang isn't ready and Peters gets hurt we're in the same position we're in today.

39 year old left tackle... hahaaa, lulz

Lets revisit this after the Super Bowl. If Remmers holds it down you can't resign him quickly enough. Honestly, at this point in their careers, Mike Remmers is a better player than 39 year old Jason Peters.

I know people gave him a lot of shit while he was here, but boy I sure wish he was able to suit up tomorrow.

You seem to get it. Pretty easy to understand I thought.

People seem to think I’m saying KC should hand him a 4 year, 40 million deal.

We literally have no healthy tackles who have played a single snap under contract for next year. Andy does not play rookie linemen, especially at tackle.

The dots are very easy to connect.

Your heart is in the right place, but with his age and injury history he isn't even reliable depth anymore

Why do you think Peters is better than Remmers at this point?

Oh I won’t even deny that, Remmers is a must keep already. But I’d much rather have him at RT.

But yeah, you keep him for sure unless he gets killed Sunday.

So many variables to consider before you need to go after a 39 year old injury plagued left tackle that Philly fans want out of town. 1. Does Schwartz retire? 2. Does Fish have any chance at returning early in the year? 3. Remmers has been solid all year. What if he freaking takes JPP out of the game tomorrow and just dominates that matchup? 4. How high are they on Niang? 5. Does a cant miss day 1 starter at tackle fall to us in the draft?

I’m not even saying he is. But you have a Hall of Fame lineman who openly admits he’s playing for a ring, knows the system and will be dirt cheap. We have no healthy players under contract and will need to add guys. I like Remmers much more at RT.

I probably created too much of a “click bait” title for the thread. I could see Peters being an early starter next year. That’s all I was saying. He’s going to be the kind of guy I see us signing.

Oh yeah, this is all a factor.

I’m just saying, Andy loves veteran lineman. I just really think he ends up on this team and starts early. That’s all.

Good grief.

Remmers is starting at Right Tackle tomorrow.

Martinas Rankins is the Left Tackle.

Is that true?

They are starting Rankins at LT after not playing all season?

That is interesting.

Source?

There are links in related threads

Wisconsin Chief will be wrong again.

It’s almost getting too easy to predict.

Hmm, have I posted something this bold before?

I don’t really care, just wondering.

Hey, thanks for your comment!

I’ll be shocked if Rankin starts tomorrow. They’ve had multiple opportunities to sub him in at OT and have elected to slide Wylie out each time.

Only thing really suggesting he will is Adam Caplan and I don’t think he has any true idea otherwise it would be out there.

:clap::clap:

I love him though. He was NAILS in his prime. But he is due for an achilles tear or another blown out knee.

I'll be SHOCKED if Rankins starts at LT. He is absolute DOG SHIT at Tackle. Ranked the WORST in the NFL when he did. He almost got Deshaun Watson killed on many occasions. We don't need Mahomes to be subjected to that shit tomorrow in any way, shape or form. Lord help us if true...

Why does everyone think Fisher will be out an extended amount of time? Derrick Johnson tore his Achilles in December 2016 and was back to start opening day 2017.

Not what I'm reading. I see Remmers at LT and Wylie at RT

I assumed this for two weeks am sure I read it somewhere

Offense:
QB: Patrick Mahomes
RB: Clyde Edwards-Helaire
WR: Tyreek Hill
TE: Travis Kelce
LT: Eric Fisher
LG: Andrew Wylie
LG: Nick Allegretti
C: Austin Reiter
RG: Andrew Wylie
RT: Mike Remmers

NBC source

Zero chance Lucas Niang isn’t starting on the line at one of the tackle spots in 2021.

I'd take a pass on Peters

Agreed. The only question is how soon he'd be ready after taking a year off and being a rookie. Which is why a veteran like peters is kind of intriguing in case niang is not ready soon enough.

I’m not sure how you can be so confident in that. The guy has been away from the team his entire rookie year. Who knows if he was even working out the way he should have been this whole time. He’s going to be way behind when he comes back next year.

Reid is not going to just hand him a starting job because he was a 3rd round pick last year. You certainly can’t bet on him at this point.

Link or cut the bullshit. Every article I've found, including in the past 2 days, has Remmers at LT and Wylie at RT.

yeah, I'm not seeing anything other than one Arrowhead Pride article advising that The Chiefs SHOULD start Rankin at LT.

I've not seen anything that says they ARE.

ESPN just said it's Remmers. Wylie at RT.

That means Wiz at RG,which is what I preferred against Suh anyway.

The Rankin at Left Tackle report was posted in the Super Bowl megathread by someone other than me.

If I had posted it the info, I'd have linked it.

**** off, you raging ****.

It was discussed in the Super Bowl megathread and not something I personally posted.

Well, it's Remmers.

I think that tells us where they think Rankin is.

I actually couldn't care less who's starting because Reid knows his personnel better than anyone.

That's good since you clearly have no clue.

Peters @ 39 ? Our starting LT in 21 ? WTF?

Why not start paging Willie? Willie Roaf, step on down!

ROFL

Good Grief people?

let's sign free agents who aren't 40. hmm?

They are going to have to throw bodies at the position. Andy traded for this guy, he knows the system and Andy is familiar with him. That’s the biggest trait Andy looks for in o-lineman is familiarity. He has to be comfortable with the guy. He can also play guard or right tackle and Reid loves versatility.

He’s chasing a ring and will be dirt cheap. I’m just saying, don’t be surprised to see him here next year. He can hold down the spot until Fisher is fully ready and provide veteran depth all across the line.

With all the uncertainty we are facing on the line I’m shocked so many people would have an issue bringing the guy in.

Dude, Jason Peters WAS a beast. I would have loved to have him YEARS ago.

Now, he's NOT.

I certainly hope we can do better than Jason Peters.

Well, here's the thing-

We can't throw dollars at this problem. Not like...legit starting OT money. We just can't.

If Peters can give you, say, Remmers level play for a year, then you do it, because it won't cost you.

There's also the fact that you're likely to have two first year OT's with Niang and a draftee to be named later, and who better to learn from?

It all depends on whether Reid and Veach think Peters has anything left in the tank at all.

I have no idea, honestly. I'll trust their opinions.

FYP

actually, yes, exactly what I was getting at.

think of it like when we brought in old man Suggs last year for the stretch run. Near 40, still just a little bit in the tank. He's not WHY we won, but he was a help.

Only this time it will be mostly in the early part of the season. Maybe until Fisher can go, or until the young'uns are ready.

And you know, as injury insurance.

I don't hate the idea.

I'd be willing to bet my house that Fisher misses no more than 2 games.

No thanks in regards to Peters. He's missed 20 games the last 4 seasons. He's done.

I think you'd lose your house.

Maybe. I would trust Veach and Reid to do their due diligence.

I don't think anyone would be expecting him to play all season long at like...LT or anything.

As a short term stop-gap, maybe you can get a little out of him. He won't cost much. Nice mentor for the young'uns.

There's not much downside honestly. A roster spot I guess.

Exactly, you get it. There is no money to throw at anyone, so guys like Peters will be the best we can do in free agency while we figure out the long term situation. I’m fully expecting several early picks on the o-line, but those guys might need time before we can count on them.

Peters can still give you a few good games next year at a very low price. That will be important for this team.

Sooooo maybe?

Idk.

You want to see Mahomes have to run around all game like he did today every game next season? Cause that's what will happen if peters is playing for us

He's going to miss the vast majority of the season.

Chiefs are interested according to this rumor: https://twitter.com/nflrums/status/1...871642636?s=21

It makes a lot of sense, said it from the time this was posted on CP. He’s a cheap stopgap for them in case Fisher and/or Schwartz aren’t ready, and they don’t address OT early in the draft.

Andy knows him and if he’s worth bringing into the building.

Best case scenario is he's 2021's Mike Remmers; and a vet mentor for Niang and Wanegho.

Very possible that we'll need him to start a few games early to hold the fort until Fisher is good to go.

He'll be cheap, and if he can pass a physical is a better player at 39 than Remmers ever was.
