2019 Free agency Thread

[O.city]

We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.

If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

I saw Matt Lane make a good point on Twitter, and one that I mentioned before re: Ford vs. Houston.

Ford was the guy getting extra attention this year, especially late in the season. That is a direct sign of teams telling you which player is worth more at this point, or at least who the better pass rusher is.

Again, I’d like to find a way to keep both. Just think it’s a worthwhile thought to consider.

Brett Veach needs to adopt a "what would Bill Belichick do" attitude in regards to personnel decisions. Clearly, Andy Reid and Clark Hunt aren't hard ass enough to make the tough personnel decisions that wins championships like BB. Veach needs to show some hard ass decision making to reduce the fat on the Chief's roster.

Which is kinda weird cause when Andy was with Eagles they were a super cap savvy team, they walked away early on numerous guys, saving money and not being sentimental.

BB would pay Mahomes trade Ford and Hill and cut Berry and Houston.

Jonathan Hankins was with Spags at the Giants when he had a decent spell and hes a free agent now after spending last season with Oakland so that might be one name to keep an eye on.

I was hoping the Chiefs would acquire him last season. No doubt he would be better suited in the interior of a 4-3 instead of a 3-4 0/1 tech. He is in his prime and arguably would come cheaper than guys like Richardson, Suh, etc.

With Daly on staff, I wonder if Flowers or Brown are targeted off the Pats roster? ($$$$$)

Vinny Curry and Glover Quin are exactly the kind of guys we should seriously look at in FA. They're not going to be expensive, they've got something left in the tank, they can fill holes while young players learn behind/in rotation with them.

Those are Belichick type pickups.

Curry I get, but Quin is like 33 years old.... not much upside there.

I think BB would pay Hill but definitely trade Ford and cut Berry and trade or cut Houston.

BB pays guys when they're unique, and he pays his franchise QB.

it's not about upside. It's about 2019 and can this guy give you one or two more good seasons while you groom his replacement. If you, say, draft Adderley then your safety situation looks excellent.

If you sign a Curry and draft a Ferguson, then your DE situation looks excellent.

You have depth and a mix of youth and experience.

Also, good lockerroom guys, and professionals. This is how your go about business, kiddos, welcome to the NFL.

I’d probably keep Ford for another year and let Houston walk. See what Speaks and Tanoh have while signing Vinny Curry or John Simon

He’d also trade Chris Jones before he got expensive too.

Tag and trade Ford and a 2nd to GB for a 1st and 4th
Trade Jones to Atlanta for 1st and 2020 3rd
Cut Berry (if possible, since we don't have clear direction one way or the other yet)

That gives KC picks 9, 29, and 30 in round 1. Trade 29 and 61 to MIN for # 18.

Draft Devin White, ILB at 9
Draft Byron Murphy, CB at 18
Draft Nassir Adderley, FS at 30
Draft Kingsley Keke, DT at 63

Profit.
