Thanks for the info!!..with Myles Jack could Veach potentially move some pieces to make it work though? Or is that not possible? And who do you think is the better fit in KC out of Jack and Cunningham? Both are 25 so could be here for years.

I honestly don't think it's worth it.

They don't need a LB so bad that they should shuffle other pieces to make it work.

They need more OL help more than anything and with only $5.5M in cap room, a LB just doesn't seem like a great use.

A good LB could help with both coverage and against the run though. Getting a stud LB is much better than getting an average OL or pass-rusher imo. We already have plenty of those...we don't have a stud LB (though Gay does look like he will be eventually).

From a cap standpoint, you're gonna have to have Gay become that guy. They've invested so much in the DL and the safeties, financially it just isn't in the cards.

The difference between a good LB and a stud LB in terms of performance isn't commensurate with the up-charge against the cap.

In other words, a true stud LB costs way more than he's worth in a defense like this. The idea that a defense needs a stud LB is kind of an outdated concept anyway. What modern defenses really need is a utility safety like Tryann Mathieu. That's far more important than LB.

Also, I think people need to get past the idea that a team with $5.5M in cap space is going to upgrade any position right now. Anybody that comes over now is going to be depth for the most part.

Wouldn't our defense be much better with someone who is an upgrade over Neiman? You know it makes sense .

Niemann's snap counts are decreasing steadily week over week.

He's actually only played 21 snaps against the run in the last 4 weeks combined.

Hell no to Myles Jack. Remember when Kelce was beating him and Jack totally lost it and got kicked out of the game? He has stability issues.

Yes he blew up that day but that's one issue during a time when his team was getting rolled all over the field...at least he showed some fight .
