Chiefs sign DE Jerry Tillery

[Dante84]

Per Ian

“Former #Vikings DE Jerry Tillery is signing with the #Chiefs on a 1-year deal, source said. Former first-rounder.”

Sneaky good pickup. At least we have a vet next to Jones at this point. I was getting worried. This flurry of transactions makes me think they either got Smith done or they rolled some cash from Kelce to a void year or something similar.

Started 11 games for the Vikings last year. Damn, didn’t realize that.

I like it. Need bodies and he’s a fresh piece.

I'm kinda meh on this, dudes career sack numbers are... lets just say he's no sackmeister

Understandable, and PFF grades him out as a very average DL.

But, the draft is our chance to really bolster that group this year. Nice to have a snaps eater in the fold beforehand, hopefully this is spelling the end of Nnadi here as we go.

Cheap veteran depth is never a bad thing, for sure

And if he spells the end of Nnadi, its a win

Yep, Nnadi upgrade. An extremely low bar but it'll do!

Tillery is a talented guy, and an absolute knuckle head. He'll make a fantastic play, and then give it all away with an idiotic personal foul.

Does he punch testicles like Shaun Smith used to?

Nice signing, he should fit well next to Jones. These guys are filling weak positions left and right, giving them maximum flexibility for the draft. Almost feels to me like a trade up isn't out of the question now with how active they've been in free agency. It'll be so nice not to have to force anything one way or another.

Right now, I think you can reasonably say we have 22 pretty well set starters and if we had to go into the season, we'd be atop the AFC already. That's incredible for a team coming of a 15-2 season and Super Bowl appearance. We are in terrific shape.

I could be wrong but I feel like right now he’s replacing Wharton as more of a 3T to complement Jones when he subs or moves out wide.

Doesn’t preclude us from upgrading in the draft, but helps ease the burden of need.

This. Decent pick-up to plug a hole until our DT we pick up in the draft is ready!

Wanted us to draft this guy so bad. Loved the size and traits. Not a great player but is a nice cheap rotational DT.

Good value IMO

I did too. It's probably a good thing I'm not an NFL GM. As you said. Not a great player.

[In58men]

Any WRs worth taking at 31?

I smell a trade back now.
