Welcome Back Tershawn Wharton
 

Meh... dude doesn't really bring jack nor shit to the table. I mean sure... he's been here... I'm thinking 2.75m could have been an upgrade here.

Is Wharton the best rookie free agent we've had in the past 20 years? I mean specifically guys we signed straight out of college and developed on our roster.

He might be. Him or Albert Wilson.

Would have said Charvarius Ward, but he was technically a trade. Brian Waters was with the Cowboys before he joined us. Andrew Wylie was also with some other team before us.

****in hell. I'd rather have given Willie Gay as his contract was only $3 mil guaranteed. Wharton got $2.75 mil guaranteed.

Maybe Super Bowl hero Andrew Wylie?

Or perhaps Big-Play Dan Sorensen?

I am not sure people realize how important he is to Spags. He is a very mobile, agile, and flexible defensive lineman. This is a good signing.

Rolla!

Let’s keep the band together.

If all we are getting is a 3rd rounder, just bring Sneed back for the 3peat.

I'm wondering if he doesn't qualify for the veterans benefit thing which would reduce his cap hit by about 1.5 mil.

Well he would qualify.. but so does nnadi (nnadi got it last year and used the full benefit). So unsure if they will split it this year or what.

May as well. Veach clearly is unimpressed with the WR fa choices.

I bet the MUS&T Developmental Staff is calling him every night.

Nnadi is back too

100% we win another ring now.

Well I called this one right. He only counts as 1.3 against the cap. So he's getting financially rewarded for sticking with the Chiefs without it costing us much.

Band is almost back together for the 3peat.

Gay did not have a good year and hasn't looked good since the 22 injury. They also don't play the same position, so it doesn't work like that.

Seems like he’s been really active this year.

He flashes a lot.

Been a pleasant surprise so far.

He looks fully recovered and playing well!

He's definitely having somewhat of a breakout season. Always been a good player, but noticeable dropoff last year recovering from the ACL. Well on his way to his best season yet though.

Somewhere else on this board, I posted that he looks like the best interior DL we’ve had next to Jones.

Obviously, small sample size. Pennel and Saunders had their moments throughout the years, but I think it’s this version of Wharton.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Wharton whooped that RG’s ass to hit Cousins arm and force the pick.

That was Lindstrom right? That’s damn impressive.

I guess you don't need to draft DTs when you can find guys like Wharton and Pennel. But maybe we still could draft one sometime

Wharton's a pretty good pass rusher. He's not a space eating run stuffer like Pennel. He's just not that kind of body. He's a 3-tech. A Jones understudy. Not a Pennel replacement unless it's like 3rd and long.

I know a lot of us understand the difference between the skillsets, but I also notice that a lot of people think of DT's as being interchangeable, and they're definitely not.
