It's not the NFL. It's the NFLPA, the union.

Isn't it all related to the NFLPA wanting verified agents to be the ones representing the players? To protect the players from getting ripped off and exploited I guess.

Agreed. If a player can represent themselves then why not anyone they want? You can take contracts to a lawyer.

Ok, this makes sense. I knew I had something backwards.

Hopkins 30 yrs old 11,298 yards and 71 TDs @ 13 yrd avg

OBJ 30 yrs old 7,736 yards and 56 TDs @ 14 yrd avg

I think that's all I need to know to decide between those two.

And Hunt would probably come pretty cheap at this point, would compliment Pacheco really well.

Why cant people get it through their heads that Hunt is never going to be a Chief again?

Because it behooves the players and Players Union that some moron isn't out there agreeing to sub market deals ****ing the other players on future contracts. Previous contracts set the market for new contracts.

Same reason teams are pissed at Cleveland for giving Watson that reeruned deal.

I don't think it will happen. Just saying it would make alot of sense in what type of back we're looking for.

ESPN NFL "experts" mostly like our free agent pickups so far

What was the best bargain signing of free agency?

Matt Miller, NFL draft analyst: DE Charles Omenihu to the Kansas City Chiefs. Omenihu comes in on a two-year deal worth $16 million and will fill the roster spot left by Frank Clark. Omenihu had 4.5 sacks in 2022 and gives the Chiefs big-time versatility up front.

Jason Reid, senior Andscape writer: S Mike Edwards to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs got the former Buccaneers starter on a cheap, one-year deal, and he will be a great (and cost-effective) addition to the secondary. He had two interceptions and 82 tackles last season.

Mike Tannenbaum, NFL front office insider: Omenihu to the Chiefs. He is a young, ascending pass-rusher who comes to Kansas City for $16 million over two years. That's great value.

Field Yates, NFL analyst: LB Drue Tranquill to the Kansas City Chiefs. Tranquill is coming off of clearly his best season, in which he made an impact all over the field. The Chiefs did not necessarily have a glaring need at linebacker, but their front office continues to stand out in finding players at varying price points to beef up a ready-to-repeat roster. Tranquill will really help.

Which was the best overall free agent signing?

Moody: OT Jawaan Taylor to the Kansas City Chiefs. The soon-to-be 25-year-old is entering his prime and expected to play left tackle for Kansas City. The Chiefs will probably address the right side of their offensive line at next month's draft, but providing the top quarterback in the game blindside protection is never a bad idea. Taylor was one of the best tackles available on the market.

One dissenter

What was the most head-scratching signing of free agency?

Walder: OT Jawaan Taylor to the Kansas City Chiefs. Taylor is a fine pass-protector, but he's not elite. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's quick release made Taylor look better than he is last season. And Taylor is a weakness in the run game. If he plays left tackle, he's a downgrade from Orlando Brown Jr., but he's getting more money per year than Brown signed for in Cincinnati.
