2023 Free Agency
 

Figured we could get one of these going as well.

Who's some guys we like, would like to see in KC?

Michael Gallup, but he'll likely get paid a shit ton more elsewhere.

Greg Gaines and Carl Lawson once he's cut please.

He signed a deal in Dallas last year.

I do like Gaines and am a Lawson guy as well.

There's some real under the radar type DE's I'd like to see us check out that would come cheaper than the Davenports (he fits here IMO).

Looking around at the FS market...I'm guessing they just go to the draft there and slide Cook into Thornhills spot.

I'm all for bringing in Lawson on a 1 year deal.

And so much for that :facepalm: LMAO

DJ Chark would be amazing

He is only 26. I'd be interested. He's a little different than what we've got so woudl make sense.

I would like Parris Campbell and Darius Slayton at WR too.

Kind of redundant with MVS here.

If Cook moves to Thornhill's spot, Julian Love would be a nice replacement in that 3rd safety spot.

Poona Ford

Bring in Ricky Stanzi

**** that.

Yeah.

I like O.City's idea of Parris Campbell. He can take Gallup's spot on my want list. Do that instead of giving up a 2nd for DHop.

Wish him well in Jacksonville or Cleveland.

Jacksonville has good WRs..

No one is making that deal, Arizona's asking price is going to come down quite a bit.

You guys are looking at that all wrong

"Starts at a 2nd" usually ends up meaning, "we'll take a 4th".

I'm hearing rumors D. Hopkins to KC has real legs.

Whoever trades for him is going to have to have alot more room on the books than the Chiefs do. He'll want a new contract soon.

I was thinking more of a place that is a tax haven and one that will bring some familiarity of success with the QB.

It was really more tongue in cheek answer though.

Florida will be nice for him and them, then.

**** trading for Hopkins. That would be such a stupid move.

The Jags are already getting Ridley. They have more pressing needs.

Are these the rumors started by Benjamin Allbright, bastard child of Nick Athan?

That's truly what he's worth but still seems high. I'd give a third and sixth.

Isn't he slot only?

I know people hate the age but it would be fun to see social media explode as people crying that KC got DHop.

If we could get dhop for a 3rd and have him sign a 3 year deal we are going to ****ing own everyone for the next few years.

I dont worry about the age yet. His game isn’t based on speed.

This move could be the tom brady-randy moss move

Wanted him last year. Height, speed and good hands. Just needs to stay healthy and I think he has the potential to be a number one wideout tbh.

Perfect. They have cleared a locker and pressing his name on a 0 jersey in Cleveland as we speak.

I would be happy to keep some of KC's free agents.

Dear not Chiefs fans. According to Schefter we’re going to trade 2 FA’s we have on the team!! How do these people even have a job?? Trading OBJ and Juju??? LMAO

Sure, they're asking for a 2nd but NFL stars almost always end up going for less than what I expect. So... how about a 3rd + a conditional 3rd in 2024?

How about **** NO?

A bologna and Swiss on white bread, and $37.15 in Papa John’s coupons??

Just saw Evan Engram say he would love to come play in KC. Any thoughts on him? Might be a solid TE to pickup if the price was right.

Not a chance. He just had a "Breakout" year in Jax. Someone is going to pay him TE 1 money. There's even whispers of Jax tagging him.

Link?

Yeah - until someone shows up at his door with a 4 year, $50 million contract with $20 million in guarantees.

He ain't coming to KC.

Obviously he'd be a great pickup. But yeah, no chance he's coming here unless he REALLY wants to.

LMAO

So Jawaan Taylor will be a free agent, eh?

Iiiiiiiiinteresting...

Seems like 4 years, $60-68 million may be what it takes to secure Taylor's services.

If I thought he could make a transition to LT, I'd pretty strongly consider it. I think there's more talent there than he's had an opportunity to showcase to this point in his career.

They're looking for a 2nd round pick. It's called negotiating. What did you expect them to say? We want a 2nd, but DHop has a no-trade and holds all the cards so we'll take a 3rd or 4th?

Oh I know, I'm just saying, no way I'd give them a 2nd, or probably even a 3rd.

I'm sorry, but anyone who wouldn't spend a 3rd on DHop under his current deal is smoking crack.

This is why players aren't GM's.

Chris, you'll get your money. Just play football.

You seem oddly defensive over this. Relax dude. I don't even think "under his current deal" is an option. Obviously, that would change things a bit.

Chris wants to keep Frank around? Sure. Start by cutting Frank's base pay until you get his cap hit in the $14-16 million range and extend Jones to lower his cap hit this year.

HOW DARE YOU QUESTION THE DHOP????

(Just kidding)

I've always said under his current deal only.

Saw it on IG but went back to find it and can’t find it now. Basically said his 3 options if not signing with Jacksonville would be. It would be crazy to be on the field with Mahomes and Kelce. Second was Bengals, and 3rd was back to NYG.

You willing to subsidize it, Chris?

I know he's your buddy and all, but the pie is only so big and the more of that you want, the less of that he can have.

Because we still have an OL and WR corps to figure out. Oh, and an actual long-term plan at DE wouldn't hurt given that Clark's simply an aging player at this point in his career.

So what's the going rate for Davenport gonna be?

Taylor in FA would give you a pathway to moving on from Orlando Brown on the other side.

Much easier to stomach the idea of a rookie at LT if you have a proven, above-average vet at the other spot.

Also from that article.

"This year, Jones, according to a league source, wants an extension that will make him at least the second-highest player at his position. In June, Aaron Donald, the Los Angeles Rams’ superstar defensive tackle, signed a three-year, $95 million contract restructure."

Considering second is 21AAV (DeForest Buckner) and Aaron Donald is 31.67AAV, thats a massive gap in contract space to be the 2nd highest player...

Yeah I don’t see us being active in FA. Maybe a guy in the 2nd wave.

We should be good for an Eric Reid or MVS type player/contract.

Sounds like, at least according to the 'league source', Jones isn't wanting Aaron Donald money. So better than Buckner money is our target range.

So 4 year, $90 million with $45-55 mil. gtd? You good with that Chris? If so, let's get it done.

According to multiple league sources, the Chiefs are interested in adding a veteran at the position, someone who will compete with Buechele and Oladokun for the role during training camp and the preseason. This spring, the open market includes several quarterbacks who could be interested in working alongside Reid and Mahomes, including Teddy Bridgewater, Jacoby Brissett, Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton, Taylor Heinicke, Gardner Minshew, Carson Wentz and Chase Daniel.

Of that list, I've always kind of liked Minshew.

Need Tubby Tubman for QB sneaks

Of all those I’d say give me brissett

Taylor Heinicke would be the perfect backup.

These are the two.

I don't think I'd sign Taylor unless I think I can convert him to LT.

Because odds are that rookie OT will need to play RT in the near term anyway. Taylor at RT really wouldn't make me that much more comfortable in a rookie LT. I'm just going to have a really hard time warming to that idea.

If we are going to get a LT from the draft, the time to do it is the year before you have to. A rookie LT just isn't a good idea. Even the best have a really long learning curve and the odds are exceptionally high that we take a significant step back at the position for a year and possibly 2.

Free agent WR Marcus Kemp is following his offensive coordinator to Washington. He signed with the Commanders this morning, per source.

Kemp is reunited in Washington with Eric Bieniemy, the offensive coordinator with whom he's spent most of his career.

Agreed.

Agree...always been somewhat impressed by Brissette when he's played the Chiefs (considering him as a backup). In a great system and staff, I think he would be a fine backup.

This is why I just don't think they're gonna roll out a rookie LT.

People are gonna be mad when we pay OBJ and we're gonna go thru this whole thing every game. Should be a real fun time.

How does this make sense when the league year hasn’t turned yet and he was on our super bowl roster?

His contract expired 2/21.

Was he on the active roster? I thought that he was on the PS and elevated for the game.

K. Mack is evidently being released.

33 or 34?

It's the one argument I can really see for playing OBJ on the tag one more season.

We got handcuffed a bit by his bizarre approach to extension discussions and it left us stuck in the middle since it mostly fell apart after the draft. This time around we can approach the draft differently, get that developmental OT, play him on the tag one more time and walk away next season.

Typically I'm 100% opposed to playing a guy on the tag for a second season but in this particular instance, there might be some utility in it.
