I mean, anything is an improvement over Sutton. I feel like he's basically Steve spagnuolo. A defensive mastermind who always puts together kind of a meh defense. Not bad, not great. Feel like he's riding the coattails of the elite defense Horton built in Arizona.

Sweet. I like the kid. Hope he goes for 120/2 TDs Sunday.

Damien Williams should be the starter because he can do pretty much everything. But Ware and Darrel can play valuable roles too.

[Hoover]

Perfect for our offense. Great to have this done.

[Hoover]

Ware is a great change of pace as a backup. I don't want him being the #1.

And I think Todd Bowels would be great.

[Hammock Parties]

In for Williams Bros tandem. I wanna do Venus/Serena photoshops and troll gender sensitive twitter users.

[mcaj22]

wonder if this means Ware is for sure gone.

[wazu]

Love this extension. Great value.

Interesting note: extensions such as Damien’s and Reiter’s will have the signing bonus prorated over a three year span (18-20) as opposed to just ‘19 and ‘20, the actual base salary years.

So by doing this before the season ends, it makes the deal a little better for KC.

This. Pretty nice move. We are going to have a lot of new players coming in, hopefully, most of them on defense.

For additional context, it’s clear as hell that Mahomes will end up making millionaires out of marginal talent in the years to come.

To the extent that Veach can properly evaluate player talent versus Mahomes added value, will go along way to getting the cap back in order.

Stealing this from twitter, but thought this was pretty impressive.

Williams ran 4.45 at 5’11” and 222 at the 2014 Combine. He’s one of just 9 RBs at the combine since 2000 to be 5’11” or shorter and 220+ pounds to run 4.45 or faster.

**** all the Leveon Bell mocks in Draft Planet!

[BlackOp]

Seems like a pretty quick extension...he just had his 1st 100 game in his career last week.

West/Ware both got $9mil/3 yr deals but this was after nearly an entire season of production.

I can see Veach's angle if KC goes deep in the post-season...and Williams getting some national facetime.

I like Williams better than Ware (post injury)...just more versatile and faster.

KC is as charmed at RB as GB is at QB...it's kind of uncanny.

I like this deal and the idea of RB by committee is starting to go grow on me. I think you still have to have a main RB, but 25-30 touches a game wears them down pretty quickly.
