Take a look at our corner, safety and DL. The whole damn defense. Ward is gone, Clark is only here bc of dead money, Chris Jones is getting older and has 1 year after this one left. Who is our starting DE opposite Clark? Who is our 3rd safety? Who is replacing Ward? So my question for you is this: how we fixing the defense with limited money and only 1 draft pick in the top 60?

You're not going to see much of that anymore. No more getting stuck with contracts like Clark's. It's better to sell HIGH, get a haul of picks and free up cap money and spread out your resources. Getting over the hump to a SB and maintaining a legit championship contender are different things. We are now in category 2. Don't panic that we're not spending enough in FA; the FA big spenders are almost never the last guys standing in February. We'll get several contributors on prudent deals, and we'll draft our future stars. And when they get expensive, we'll flip them for a bunch of picks like we just did. And it'll be smart then, too. |

Pretty much the same ideas you and everyone else had before you guys suddenly had this revelation that Tyreek was going to break the salary cap....after he was traded. |

Your plan is terrible bc the Chiefs have several needs on defense now and in the next 2 years and no resources to do that.

And how is creating another hole by trading the 2nd best player on the team really helping the team? Are we assuming that he's going to hit on every draft pick and that will fill the big holes in the team including Tyreek being gone? |

Your plan is to bring in fringe roster bubble players and UDFA’s to replace and a roster bubble DE that is only here bc of dead money and lack of talent?
Realy? Wow dude. I have to say that’s terrible considering our division and conference is way better now

Remember Charvarious Ward? He was one of those UDFA roster bubble guys. Wouldn't you rather take another chance of hitting on a guy like that than try to hype yourself up over the 4 coverage sacks Frank Clark will get this season? |

In your scenario, you know we need 2 DEs, right? And how do we "just re-sign" Ward? Do we have enough then for JuJu? Seems like in your world, we would need DE1, DE2, and WR2. And we'd have fewer picks and less cap flexibility to make it all work. Brilliant plan as always! I'm sure some of those UDFAs you're so excited about will be day 1 starters and fill all necessary holes. |

Clark's $1.2m is NOTHING. Just disregard that. It's SO not important, and harping on it just shows that you're reacting emotionally and not logically. Emotionally, I want that ****er GONE, I'm so sick of his shit. Logically, I understand that we're paying $1.2m this season for a rotational DE piece rather than having to fill TWO spots as we would if we released him. Clark is no longer important. He's filling a space for $1.2m. Re-sign Ward for what, $14m per? WAIT YOU SAY-JUST STRUCTURE THIS YEAR'S HIT TO BE LOWER!-yeah, well, that means next year or the year after the cap hit is huge. Pay now, or pay later, but either way, YOU GOT TO PAY. Reid is 25, cheaper than what Mathieu wanted, so we got younger, bigger, faster, and cheaper. THAT is a good signing. I've made my opinions about paying second contracts at market value for boundary corners pretty clear, I think, so no way I pay Ward that. But if you do, you pretty much guarantee that you won't be able to pay Sneed when it's time, because you had to push Ward's money out to fit it in '22-and I would stand on the table and argue loudly that Sneed is a more important piece because of his versatility. So you can pay Ward now, or Sneed later, but probably not both. Do you understand now? No, I guess not. I'm tired of arguing with you, because you're just stubbornly refusing to see logic. I was VERY surprised that Veach and Andy went this way, but I'm impressed as hell that they were able to see that it needed to be done. |

He doesn't understand that for every 1 Charvarious Ward that hits, there are 100 UDFAs that don't even make the active roster because they're not remotely good enough.
But he thinks those guys couldn't be any worse than Frank Clark. Riiiiiight... |

It definitely wasn't "throw some UDFA DEs" on the roster and roll to another Super Bowl. |
