They've got like $10m. What'll it cost to sign the draft picks again? No, they probably have JWat on hold, while they're looking around for a bigger bodied guy with some upside. I thought Callaway would be a good fit. They didn't clear enough for the big names you guys are all hot and bothered for. If THAT was the plan, they'd have hit the Mahomes piggy bank harder and the deal would've been done. You guys are just not facing reality. Andy Reid is expecting Skyy and Toney to make big strides. Period. I hope he's right; not just as a fan, but as an armchair GM it sure makes the next three or four years look like a golden ticket. |

Not disputing that we need to add some talent at the WR position but keep in mind the Chiefs are cheating the system right now. Our #1 Receiver is our TE and top TE are much cheaper than top WR's.

I love Toney, obviously, but the reality is that in two seasons he's played in just 19 regular season games. Out of a possible 34. John Ross, our late season pickup from CIN who at least has played in the NFL, has played in just 44% of his total possible games. After that, we got pretty much nothing.

And they'll draft a guy. Toney, Moore, MVS. That's three. There are two spots open, three max if one of them plays a lot of special teams. |

And I was told that we need less than $3M to take care of the draft class. And we haven't seen how much Veach is going to get restructuring CJ's deal. Or Kelce's. And again, take that list of WRs above and trade them for any WR room in the league. Does that look right to you? No NFL team is going into a season with that room. And certainly no team would bank on those top three WRs to carry the team to a SB. It's not "fungible."

Toney's only played in 55% of his games due to nagging leg injuries in two seasons. Skyy hasn't shown anything that suggest he's going to become a WR2. Yet. No one else in the WR room has a leg to stand on. In some cases, literally. Logic suggests that Veach is definitely going to get a veteran WR somehow.

Spotrac has us at a little over $6.1M. Over the cap has us at $5.168M. Neither has factored in the Bell and Nnadi contracts. We have 10 draft picks, each will be guaranteed (assuming they make the team) $705K. That's $7.05M for those without a calculator. Then there are signing bonuses to be factored in.

Well sure. But for whatever reason it took both of them years to get right in NE. No idea why, but obviously they didn't hit the ground running. And both turned out to be very high-level players, so it wasn't for lack of brains or ability.

But it's a false premise. IF Veach and Reid don't go out and sign a Dhop or Beckham, it's because they feel really good about the capabilities they have in the room. They're projecting production because it's literally their job to do so. When you're paying an elite QB, and you're drafting around 30 every year, you have to. You look at Moore and say- It's insane to think he can go from 22 catches to 80! That's nuts! But it's not really. Andy Reid is saying as much. Veach has said as much. What they've done in free agency doesn't say that they're all that concerned. To grow your young talent, you have to actually play them. Look at Christian Watson. Stunk up the first half of the season, was a TD machine in the second half. We went slower with Moore because, you know, we were actually trying to win a Super Bowl. But if Andy's saying he expects Moore and Toney to play bigger roles, then that's what they're planning on doing. They'll sign an insurance policy, and they'll draft a WR. I imagine the only reason they haven't signed Watson back yet is because they're looking at a couple of options that might have more upside. But they're not going to be #1WR types. If they were doing that, they'd have cleared a lot more cap space, and it would be done already. We're growing our own here, boys. It's not going to look comforting on paper before the games start, but if Andy's alright with it, we ought to have a little faith. |
