Goodbye, Tyrann?

Boom

****ing awesome. That was one of my top guys.

I NEED AN EMERGENCY PODCAST TO PUT THIS IN PERSPECTIVE

Yooooooooo there it is boys. THIS I’m happy with.

And that contract is a good deal too.

Great move!!

Just so people know it’s official.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this guy more of a SS? So he’d replace Sorenson really right?

Aight throw some numbers at me. Stats, rankings etc. Gimmie the what to know. I have not followed this guy much.

Texans fans love this guy

He’s interchangeable, and is your starter with Thornhill.

Nepotism!!!!

He was one of the best young safeties in the league until he had a down year last year.

But that was in a new scheme.

My guess is he’ll get back on track in KC and outperform this contract.

This. We basically have two safeties that can move around to either spot. There is no more FS and SS. We just have safeties.

A 25 year old entering his prime Reid at that price is a better value than a 30 year old declining Matthieu who would demand a lot more for the same term.
Smart sensible move by the Bertmeister. And fresh blood for our secondary.

we got some goddamn range at safety now i tell you what

Damn good move. Let’s keep it up!!

I ****ing LOVE this move.

I either wanted Reid or Whitehead.

Added a good secondary player at a decent price.

Brett Veach isn’t going to pay big money for 30 year olds except for a rare exception like EDGE this year (all the free pass rushers are around 30).

These are the types of signings that you make when you want to get value.

I don't know much about this guy, but he is 6'1", 203 lbs, and 25 years old.

Pretty sure we’ve been pounding the table for one of those guys the entire process.

What about the toxic fan favorite money badger

Chiefs signed S Justin Reid, formerly of the Texans, to a three-year, $31.5 million contract.

With Tyrann Mathieu widely expected to walk in free agency, Reid arrives as the Honey Badger's replacement. The No. 68 overall pick of the 2018 draft, Reid has been starting since his rookie year. He was better in 2018-19 before a team-wide malaise took hold of the Texans in 2020-21. Rather amazingly, Reid has only one career pick, but he has had good seasons both in coverage and as a run defender. He just hasn't put it all together in a while. The Chiefs clearly believe he will be able to do so in a much better environment.

HOLY SHIT! YES! Man I wanted the Chiefs to get him! **** YEEEESSS!!!!

That's a good contract for a quality starter

Dude and Veach got him for a good price. $10 million is nothing.

Side note - I'm happy we made this move before Tyrann signed elsewhere, purely for appearances.

Reid is a great signing! He’s not afraid to tackle!!

Me too. Said as much in the Free Agent thread.

Kc lab guys live

At :50 seconds on the highlights he tackles Trey lance short of the first instead of getting trucked

Love it.

Thanks for everything, Tyrann. Chiefs fans should appreciate everything you did for the organization.

Now go ahead and tweet about how you hate us.

For those of you who may not be familiar with him

ROFL

Can’t believe we got this guy at these numbers. Crazy

He’s got production, size, speed and looking at his tape he’s played both safety positions.

I like this move a lot

Lol. Cabletech94 remembers…..

he's a better version of thornhill

He’s smart.
He’s rangy.
He can tackle.

Um, what? Whoever wrote that is wrong. Reid has 7 interceptions in his career.

Balla ass gm

Scratch #1/2 S off the list.

Now re-sign Ward, sign Za’Darius Smith and JuJu.

Draft starts to open up fast.

He spells his last name the correct way.

Draft info coming out of Stanford
6-1, 204, 4.40 40 time.

2021 stats - 13 games, 2 Ints, 66 tackles, 4 PDs

PFF ranked at 82 on their list of free agents

I still like a guy like Smoke Monday or Nick Cross on day 2 or 3.

This! Thank you but on to your next money grab! This was worth the all day wait! DAMN! This is AWESOMENESS!!!! :thumb:

We're getting Robinson bro

Oh that’s why I specified #1/2, because #3 is still a need.

I agree that it will likely be somebody like that in the draft.

Reid plays a mixture of free safety, slot corner and box. I'm also thinking he would be a great replacement of Sorenson. HB plays more box than either Reid or Sorenson.

Good franchises do not pay for past performance out of loyalty. Appreciate the all-pro years and incredible run from honeybadger but it was pretty damn clear his decline started last year. There were games the dude looked like he wanted no part of making a tackle. He showed up his teammates in a demonstrative manner too many times for my liking and his "its never my fault" attitude got old. Hope he goes to a contender in the NFC and wish him well.

Love the Reid signing as well! The dude flies all over the field. Younger, faster, more explosive.

You sick undignified bastard, wait is this the Tom Brady kissing his kids ass to mouth thread?

I still think we get 2 FA WR's...

Kollmann is a Texans fan too.

He knows.

Pumped for this signing let's go

Well not my Marcus Williams prediction, but

https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.a1a09755...pid=ImgRaw&r=0

Really good move- addresses a position of need

If he can get Robinson and Smith before the draft? ****.

Don’t.

I can’t get my hopes up.

Let’s be realistic. Smith and JuJu.

Robinson and Smith is too exciting.

I'd let you and STaylor spit roast me on Zoom for all CP to watch. Realistically even if we just add a veteran DE the D could be really solid. This contract seems really affordable makes me think we still have a chance at bringing Ward back would also like to sign Gladney. That secondary right there is an upgrade over last years.

Great move

Oh I’m fine with either of those. I would just prefer Robinson.

Imagine one of those WRs, Smith and Ward. And then Devonte Wyatt in the 1st.

_______-) ———-

Do that and I won’t give a **** if Clark is the 3rd DE.

It will be interesting if Tyrann gets more money than Reid on the market

There has to be moves coming tomorrow for sure. I would guess the Clark restructure/cut and the Mahomes restructure.

Love this move. Sick of DB’s making “business decisions.” Rebuild this thing with PHYSICALITY.

I could see Tyrann going to the Chargers purely for spite

We don't have to be under until Friday, correct? Or is it Wednesday?

kccrow called it here...

If he were smart, he'd be looking around in the NFC.
