The #Chiefs are re-signing WR Demarcus Robinson to a one-year deal, source said.

I feel like DRob has the potential to be an 800-yard WR. Best thing for him long term might indeed be to prove his full potential this season and then cash in on a long term contract.

I'm a fan of DRob.

It would certainly help him though if Watkins was not kept. And him resigning offers Chiefs protection should Watkins be traded or released.

D-Rob is a Raider shredding machine! That's worth a couple mil anyhow.

Unless you're a broke dick like Randall Cobb. Then BOB will pay you out the ass

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

They used that Vet cap thing Dane talked about. Veach is up to date with this new CBA

Damn. Robinson already entering year 5. It doesn’t feel that long.

Robinson is coming off his most productive season to date, and even though he can frustrate with easy drops, he is a contributor on special teams aside from some of his chain-moving, and sporadic big plays. I think the most underrated thing about his game though is his blocking. The guy is scrappy and plays to the whistle. Using this new salary cap loophole with the veteran benefit is a perfect tool to apply to a player like Robinson. He gets to stay home, get a mild raise with fully guaranteed money, and now the Chiefs have some options with regards to what to do with Sammy, as the depth is in good shape.

Good move here Veach.

Still need to draft a WR at some point

It's a deep WR draft class, similar talent less money. He knows our system, so makes sense for us, but not a new team.

Whatever Mahomes wants.....he gets.

[The Franchise]

I have to think that Veach has something in the works with Breeland. He’s had no hits out there that have been talked about.

[Hoover]

Heck bringing back Hill, Hardman, and Robinson is great. If Veach can figure out Sammy all the better. This offense is going to be be so damn smooth!

[Halfcan]

This Chiefs offense is going to be hard to stop. They are all friends and play with a swagger.

I think it is a great move to bring him back- he still has a huge upside.

I never understood why people thought he'd leave in Free Agency with a multi-million dollar per year deal.

Because the Giants and Eagles had (rumored) interest prior to FA and everyone remembers Albert Wilson.

With Robinson back, it makes way too much sense to cut/trade Watkins, guys. I'm not going to bitch if Veach extends him, but I'd rather just have the cap room at this point. No, Robinson isn't close to being as good as Watkins, but he's always available and rarely ever on the injury report. There's something to be said about that.

It's putting pressure on Hardman to speed up his development, but he should be improved and able to do a little more than just go routes and gadget plays. Add to that one of these outstanding rookie WRs, and we'll have a terrific combination of vets, talent, and potential all without paying through the nose.

Mahomes can do that. He's used to not having Watkins for stretches of the season anyway. That slight drop in lethal talent is worth it for the money.
