Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries [signed by Chiefs]

[SHOWTIME]

Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

What happened?

Looks like 2 mil with possible incentives to push it to 4.5. So probably needs to start to get the 4.5 otherwise 2. THough the numbers seem to indicate they expect him to start at some point.

Vetch has done his job to a very high caliber this off season all the way through today. Injuries are a crapshoot, so it’s just the way it goes— but now it’s time for the Jello to muther-fahkking gel.

Let’s go lock up the #1 seed and make them all hate us MOAR!!!

I was more excited they were able to pull if off so quickly...I didnt expect him to be signed 10 minutes later.

Hardly "puffing my chest out"...I dont care that much.

Good potential get by the Chiefs...if he pans out, likely saved them a top draft pick next year.

$2m with incentives to $4.5 makes a lot more sense.

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[Sassy Squatch]

Yeah, that makes it even more likely he's been signed to start. An incentive laden contract isn't worth much to Humpries unless he's actually getting the chance to earn them.

PFF is usually good with offensive line stuff, so here’s some grade comparisons:

72.3* - DJ Humphries
67.7 - Orlando Brown Jr
65.2 - Jawaan Taylor
57.3 - Wanya Morris
36.8 - Kingsley Suamataia

Using 2022 stats since Humphries was hurt last season + the Cardinals had him playing non-LT positions

Even last season tho his PFF grade was 63 (Same as Jawaan Taylor’s who hasn’t been bad this season tbh)

If Humphries returns to his 2022 form, this is a worthy signing

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If all goes well this guy is probably our left tackle next year too.

It's easy to say that in hindsight but, in my opinion, you have a history on this forum of predicting things in a way that makes you project yourself as enlightened or smarter than everyone else. Again, just my opinion. In other words, you could've just posted, "F**k, yes! My prediction came true!"

Don't take it too hard. I probably shouldn't have worded it so harshly. I didn't intend it to come across that way but I certainly understand how one could interpret that. Honestly, it's probably me that was just spouting off after reading a bunch of your previous posts about all manner of topics.

Veach and the other Chiefs executives after snatching a potential starting LT at the end of November.

[Sassy Squatch]

Seems very excited.

[RunKC]

Veach may have missed on FAU and Kingsley but he is doing him damndest to get us the threepeat.

I am so happy we have an aggressive GM instead of a passive GM like Chris Ballard

[dirk digler]

Good deal and I hope he is healthy. Pretty obvious now that the team knew the LT position is a huge problem.
