Should the Chiefs have signed Saquon?

[Pitt Gorilla]

I know we didn't have a ton of cash and Pop is a decent back, but what would Saquon have looked like in our offense? He got just under $38 million over 3 years, which is a chunk. Had we not given Trav additional cap room (for no additional years) and restructured a few other deals, maybe?

Don't know, just throwing this out there.

[ChiefGator]

Given what we know now, yeah, duh.

Or should have signed King Henry.

Hey everybody! Deberg is back!

Pacheco + Hunt is cheaper and will be just as effective.

Just as effective?

Saquon is on pace for 2100 yards rushing on 6 yards a carry and almost 400 yards receiving.

We don't need him but saying our guys are just as effective is silly

Pretty sure every team in the NFL should have

Yeah - this is pretty much the answer.

That said, it's just so damn rare that big money RBs work out, especially when they change teams. And Saquon didn't look nearly as explosive his last couple of years in NY.

Now he just looks healthy and as strong as he's looked since he was a rookie. His legs are back and that's not something you can really expect to happen for most 'backs.

Any team in the league would've been better by signing the guy. He's the best RB out there - he's playing with the speed/explosion of McCaffrey and power of Henry. Yeah - hindsight says EVERYONE should've signed him.

But it is what it is.

Unsurprisingly, Howie Roseman made the call.

Did you watch tonight’s game?

Holes big enough for even MEHHH to have a big game.

Interesting question but I have a better one. Should the Chiefs have drafted Joe Montana in the 1979 draft? I still think Steve Fuller was the right move but I was only a glint in the milkman's eye back then.

It was definitely the right move. We would’ve won the SB if wasn’t for the kicker.

[Basileus777]

With hindsight of Brown getting hurt, yeah. It made sense at the time, even though this team desperately needs some explosive run plays.

[BWillie]

Who is better on short yardage and goalline? Thats all I care about with running backs.
