Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate - Page 162

Dante84 · 02-08-2021, 10:03 AM

In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him?

He said he wants to be back, but Trent Williams likely making it to the open market isn't being talked about enough. Still one of the best in the league at a prime position. He smartly put a clause in his deal that SF can't use the franchise tag.

Highest paid T is $23M per year.

I don’t remember you being called an idiot.

But that conversation was pre-Veach teleconference. It was based on the idea/fear Schwartz was going to just retire and Fisher would be out almost all of 2021. With Schwartz sounding like he’s on track to be back for all offseason activities and the positive hope for Fisher, it moves the Chiefs from needed to find a long-term fix to needing to find a short-term band aid.

Without the $20M of cap room those two no longer being in the picture created, it is hard to see the Chiefs spending the cap they can clear by extending Mathieu, restructuring Mahomes and Kelce, and possibly extending Hill on another OT.

How would everyone feel about Nelson Agholor replacing Watkins?

When do cuts start?

I’d be intrigued by it, though his DickHands would drive me nuts.

I’d pop for a year or 2 of Marvin Jones before Agholor, personally.

I'm a big fan of that happening.

Sounds like the tag deadline will be moved back again like last year. No real relevance to the Chiefs.

**The Franchise** · 03-08-2021, 10:04 AM

What about Benson Mayawa as a rotational DE on a cheap one year deal?

Quite a few better options than agholor like Curtis Samuel, marvin jones, josh reynolds, rashard Higgins. I'd take any of them over agholor .

I'm down. We need a couple of cheap rotational edge players.

There are so many FA WRs, it would be a mistake not to wait and see who you might be able to get on a one year deal after the first couple weeks of free agency.

Chris Meck · 03-08-2021, 10:35 AM

I'd bet the house we add an OT, IOL, WR, Edge, and S.

A couple of those spots via FA, the rest in the draft.

Sassy Squatch · 03-08-2021, 10:50 AM

Bobby Massie will be a free agent. Another veteran OT option

Dante84 · 03-08-2021, 10:57 AM

One thing we know about Veach is that he does not like his hand forced. He's said multiple times he covets flexibility in the draft and free agency, because you lose leverage when you have significant holes.

I imagine we'll get some guys in each of those spots as well - they may not be stars or even starter quality, but I doubt we go into the draft with a sure-fire wide open spot to fill.

[Side Note: I think that this past Super Bowl was Veach's nightmare scenario. He worked his ass off to have depth across the board and talent up top, only to watch his entire investment in the OL - starters and backup insurance players - drop like flies for one reason or another. There's no such thing as a sure thing, and you can't ever feel satisfied with the bottom of the roster. I bet he will carry that scar with him for the rest of his career and we'll be better for it.]

Veach had a quick comment on his last interview that made me think there is a possibility they roll with Hill, Hardman, Pringle, etc. and prioritize a real weapon at TE behind Kelce...potentially in free agency.

A TE like Zach Ertz (just an example) would make this offense much more multiple, potentially help in the run game, and allow Kelce to move around even more, knowing another weapon is on the field opposite him.

Samuel and Jones are better but they'll likely get bigger deals than we can afford. And I don't think Reynolds and Higgins are better. Reynolds has better hands but isn't a better overall WR IMO.
