Left Tackles

[Titty Meat]

Y'all want to ride with Smith for another year or give Morris a chance? Because there's probably several good to decent prospects who likely will be there when the Chiefs pick.

[Abba-Dabba]

Christian Jones looking very solid at the Senior Bowl. Probably better suited as RT, but can play LT as well.

[JohnnyHammersticks]

Charles Davis picked Mizzou OT Javon Foster as his single most impressive player for today’s practice at the Senior Bowl.

[Palangi]

I want to go with Morris but draft someone to compete

I feel like Foster is a guy who could go to a Shanahan system team and really perform. Not sure he could hold up at LT for KC, though.

You might be right. All I know is that I was freaking blown away by how good Mizzou’s OL played last season. They absolutely mauled a lot of good DLs. Being a Mizzou fan, I’m sure you’d agree.

How would we feel about just brining back Prince Tega Wanogho and having him and Morris battle it out? PTW looked alright in his action at times and has the athleticism.

Man as a PTH advocate from day 1 this is tough. But I just dont think you can. It's never been a talent problem and always been an availability problem all the way back to college.

[Couch-Potato]

Why not D. Smith on another affordable deal and Morris? They got us to the Super Bowl this year.

Titty Meat, I feel like I'll be lying on my death bed and recall your username then mutter a faint chuckle before I die that my family will speculate on the meaning of for generations. Thank you.

The guessing game says if you guys want what you want, there just isn't the space to do all of it. You have to give in a couple of places.

Running the scenario (I'll put below) that puts kind of a good portion of what everyone wants into a bag sans re-signing Chris Jones (extend Humprhey, Smith, and Reid, re-sign Sneed and Tranquill, and fill in the holes in the roster puts us at having to cut MVS and Omenihu plus push $30.9m Mahomes money. That's provided I'm relatively accurate with numbers, which I'm speculating aren't going to be terribly far off...

This scenario skimps at LT plus not having Jones or Gay back. If you want to sign a LT, then you must give it somewhere else. Maybe you gotta draft a LB instead of re-signing Tranquill and you don't cut Toney, etc.

Roster Moves
EXT OC Creed Humphrey 5y/67.5m w/8.75m sb (+1.75)
EXT OG Trey Smith 4y/45.0m w/7.5m sb (+1.50)
EXT SS Justin Reid 3y/42.25m w/14.0m sb + 7.0m '24 salary to add'l sb (-1.75)
RES QB Patrick Mahomes 15.90m roster bonus to signing bonus (-30.90)

REL DE Charles Omenihu (-7.22)
REL WR Kadarius Toney (+2.53)

Isn't Toney's money guaranteed? Pretty sure we're on the hook for that regardless.

[Palangi]

Honestly keeping Toney as a return specialist isn’t a bad idea especially if we are on the hook for his money this year. Then use him as a gadget guy on offense only (jet sweeps and screens).

Guys, Toney's out. For certain.

Doesn't matter what it costs us in dead cap next year.

He's out.

Name 'em.

Name all the players from BYU Andy has had on this team in his time here.

Goddamn the "Andy Loves X" stuff is just always wrong. Dude doesn't love drafting fatties (though the draft pundits have been saying he does for over a decade now). He doesn't love players from BYU.

In his ENTIRE career he's drafted one player from BYU - a guard in the 5th round for the Eagles. He loved that guy so much he cut him before the end of his rookie contract. Chad Lewis was already an Eagle before Andy got there.

How much work are you really going to let Daniel Sorensen do here? Or is it the 1 game Matt Bushman played here? Or the 7 games Zayne Anderson played.

Andy has never demonstrated any particular affinity for players from BYU - it's just lazy sportswriter tripe that's somehow been spoken into fact.
