Now, if Veach has plans to trade for a good CB either before the season or after a few games if he sees that the corners are clearly overmatched, it's all good to me.

Claiborne is probably as good as Veach can get at this point until the trade deadline, which honestly doesn’t yield great players very often.

Claiborne is very experienced and is a decent starting corner last year who had a career year. That’s much better than a rookie or question mark player.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on a really good corner being available until after the season is over.

I'm guessing many teams don't want him because he's out the first four games. That isn't going to matter as much to us and also figured into the discount, I imagine.

OMG WHY IS EVERYONE BEING SO NEGATIVE???

/Butt****ing morons.

Fuller is dinger up is what I heard

[Hoover]

1. He's only 29, so younger than I thought.
2. Older guys with experience on legit SB teams can sometimes work out.

Not a long term solution, but it can't hurt.

Good signing. Signing this late and for only $1.5 M, no real commitment from the Chiefs. He will have to practice and play his way into playing time.

[Chargem]

The first 4 games aren't that bad either, so he becomes available at the right time.

Terez says it can get to 3 mil if all works out

Dude...who's in a panic?

Everyone seems to be somewhere between optimistic or ambivalent.

and even if he is a starter, good, that means hes better than what we have even if he turns out not that good.

I’m gonna also have to say, with Mathieu and Thornhill the Chiefs should have some really good safety play and that will ease some of our concerns at CB. I think it could be similar to what Philly had a couple years ago in that sense.

If it ends up being Fuller/Breeland/Claiborne, that should be just fine in this scheme IMO.

I’m curious at how else they were supposed to improve the cb spot?

If you wanted a real big name or something that time was in March or April

Yep so really the only opportunities moving forward would be a big trade or hope a decent CB gets cut because of money. Otherwise we roll with what we have for now.
