Chiefs Suggested Post-Draft Free Agents & Trade Ideas? - Page 12

Couch-Potato · 07:37 AM

What say you CP? What are the best available FA acquisitions and trade scenarios for the Chiefs post-draft?

Shwartz or Fisher, to compete with Niang for RT?

Breeland, Earl Thomas or Sherman at DB?

Melvin Ingram as dedicated Pass Rusher?

Larry Fitzgerald or Goldan Tate as WR #2?

Pull off the big trade for Julio!?

I wouldn't expect anything other than Vet Minimum players at this point.

Veach out front of Arrowhead with a duffel bag with 4.5m in it for whoever takes it first. Ingram, Houston or another DE...maybe check in on recovery for Vernon as we get closer to camp.

Laurence Darnell Fitzgerald Jr.

Perfect 2nd WR to play across from Reek.

75 catches
800 yards
4 TDs

Tell me that's not perfectly fine for some who will be 3rd in the pecking order (maybe 4th with CEH).

Hell, your guy Julio had that last year and you guys wanted to give up draft capital and major money for him.

If the Chiefs need a CB after the preseason, the Minnesota Vikings might have one for trade or release.

They signed Patrick Peterson (Cards), Makensie Alexander (Bengals), and Bashaud Breeland (Chiefs).

They already had 25 year old (1st rd), Jeff Gladney, 23 year old (3rd rd) Cameron Dantzler, 23 year old (5th rd) Harrison Hand. All of these guys are on their 2nd year of their rookie contracts.

They also have 25 year old Kris Boyd that the Vikings drafted in 2017 out of Texas. Last year he played 16 games with 5 starts for the Vikings. He is 5-11, 201. Coming out of Texas he ran a 4.45 40.

Julio Jones has that in 7 games.

GTFO. Larry Fitz is done.

None of the above will happen.

Chiefs sign another OT, Wyatt Miller, 6-5, 320 and 25 years old.

Played at UCF then Jets, Bengals, Cowboys, and Seahawks.

Not sure what the Practice Squad rules will be for 2021. For Covid, the NFL expanded the roster to 16 and allowed more veterans. I've read that the expanded roster and the ability to play two PS members was popular with teams.

Wyatt Miller may have been signed with possibility of using him on the Practice Squad.

With Kyle Long being out, they may just need another body for practicing and preseason.

Wilson8 · 06-15-2021, 01:37 AM

When you have a position of strength, you keep trying to make it even stronger and better.

Another thought would be the Chiefs keep adding OL and plan on doing a trade of an OL for a DE, CB, or WR.

We currently have 16 OL, Orlando Brown, Joe Thuney, Austin Blythe, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Mike Remmers, Nick Allegretti, Kyle Long (currently injured), Lucas Niang, Creed Humphry, Trey Smith, Andrew Wylie, Yasir Durant, Martinas Rankin, Prince Tega Wanogho, Darryl Williams, and Wyatt Miller.

Isnt Gladney on the commisioners list for assault and battery or something?

I'll take Hand. Always liked him for our system.

You are correct -

Quote:

"[Gladney] now faces up to 2-10 years in prison if convicted after an incident that happened on April 2nd. That’s when a 22-year-old woman, who says she was in a relationship with Gladney, told police they got into an altercation over text messages she was receiving. Gladney is accused of hitting the accuser with closed fists, choking her and dragging her by the hair while driving with her outside his vehicle. She also accuses him of '...pulling (her) by her hair trying to hold her still in order to get the Face ID to work.' The accuser was able to break free and get into a vehicle with unknown passengers. Detectives documented bruising on her head, ears and torso. She also reported scratches on her face and neck and abrasions on her knees."

So there is a reason the Vikings are signing so many free agent CBs.

In addition to Patrick Peterson, Mackensie Alexander, and Bashaud Breeland, the Vikings have also signed free agents Tye Smith (Seahawks, Titans) and Parry Nickerson (Jets, Jaguars, and Packers) and UFDA Amari Henderson. (Wake Forest). They also drafted CB Camryn Bynum (Cal) in the 4th (125) round, but they plan to maybe move him to safety.

Even with Jeff Gladney's situation, the Vikings will have a surplus of CBs and someone will be cut or traded.

I've said that Face ID was a bad idea from the start

Well she didn't share her pass code either, so she really did not want him on her phone.

I wanted Mike Hughes before the Vikings drafted him in 2018. Now we got him. Hope he is a able to stay healthy and is a good pickup for KC.

I wanted Jeff Gladney before the Vikings drafted him in 2020. Instead we drafted L'Jarius Sneed in the 4th.

Always interesting how things work out.
