Potential cuts that could help the Chiefs

[O.city]

So, who we eyeing around the league that might get cut that could come in and help?

CB6 is about the only spot I see that isn't pretty firm. Even WR6 seems like it's about 80% likely to be Fountain.

Jaylen Watson as the last DB on the roster seems like about the only real risk of getting turfed for a veteran cast-off. And you may have more success getting him onto the PS after cut-downs since other teams will have set their own PS and final rosters.

Or again, RB4 could be up for grabs at this point as well should the Chiefs decide they want to take 4 into the regular season. But they may just decide that Burton can be their power back.

They had Jaylen Watson speak to the media today. I may be reading too much into it but they don't usually let guys they plan to cut speak. I doubt it means that he can't be a cut but they must have some interest in keeping him to put him in front of everyone.

You telling me you can't find a gunner that can actually PLAY?

Sure looks like 4 guys are locked in with Sneed, Fenton, McDuffie and some dude from a pisswater college in the Carolinas somewhere. Then Lammons gets his "Dave Toub Memorial Scrub Roster Spot". But like you, I don't trust Watson as a guy who will probably need to actually see the field next year and right now I think he's your 6th guy in.

You’re going to be sucking that Joshua Williams dick by the end of the season. Mark my words.

Ok, so it's not just me who thought our gunners looked pedestrian. Phew.

They had Josh Gordon speak to the media last week.

So yeah - you're reading too much into it.

Though if the games started tomorrow I agree - Watson appears to be on the roster. But that doesn't mean he can't be upgraded.

I would love to flip a pick to the Bears for Jenkins and Quinn and just sit Jenkins.

So if it's someone on their rookie deal that gets cut, that guy has to pass through waivers. If it's someone on a vet deal, that guy is a free agent.

As to the OP question - hard to say. Obviously my desire is at DE but I don't see anyone getting cut that's better than, say, Sheldon Richardson, JPP, Benson Mayowa or Tre Flowers. And those guys are all FAs still and we haven't brought them in. Just seems unlikely that DL help is on the way.

So the other option you mentioned already is RT. But Reid prefers continuity on his OL over all else. I just don't see any way he brings in a street FA guy to replace Wylie. And I don't think Christian has done anything to cost himself a roster spot in that role.

I'd be surprised if there are any additions to the 53 at this point. Maybe a RB after they cut Jones? Someone with a little more bulk who can run hard between the tackles? Jordan Wilkins would seem like a possibility and a similar but better version of Darrell Williams.

Maybe a CB? I'd be surprised if anybody worth a crap is cut loose, but the CB room sure looks like suddenly we'll have a 7th round pick on the roster. That's...different. WR? These guys never have seemed to be able to quit Sammy Watkins.

Watkins is like the Packers #2 receiver right now haha.

That’s my biggest concern.

Yeah I think you’re right here. We could use a serviceable swing tackle for sure. We’re thin AF there.

Yup. Would definitely give a 3rd for it and would think pretty hard about a 2.

But as has been noted by others, the cap becomes an issue there. You’d have to give Quinn a new deal to help that year 1 hit and I’m just not eager to do that. I like Quinn for 2 more years but 3 or 4? Not a big fan.

Maybe you tack on some void years and turn his base into a bonus? But he may want to leverage his last shot at a decent contract more heavily than that.

Not many teams are looking better than a 25 yr old former 3rd round pick who's shown out in pass protection as their swing tackle.

Geron Christian isn't a big name, but he's exactly the kind of guy most teams have in that role. And he has some potential still. I wouldn't be eager to dump him for someone on his last legs just because I've heard of the guy.

At least one of those will be cut and maybe signed back to the PS. Our RB room is runneth over. We will not be trying to sign one from another team.

It's not runneth over with good options though. Unless RoJo had COVID or something that made him look terrible he's not going to make it if he doesn't turn it around. Gore couldn't catch shit and managed to fumble. They need to give Ealy a shot but even he hasn't had an impact of any significance that we've seen.

RT/SwingT and DL would be worth a look. Not sure what pops up if anything but I’d look at those positions. Maybe a WR or CB could be better than the competition for the last spot we have now, but probably not.

I agree with all of this. I think Maclin did one not long before they cut him. That was a cap thing but surely they had some idea.

CEH, McKinnon, Pacheco, and Burton are our RB/FB roster barring an injury. The rest will be gone or assigned to the PS.

What about signing Jason Peters and plugging him in at RT
