Suggested Post-Draft Free Agents & Trade Ideas?

[Couch-Potato]

What say you CP? What are the best available FA acquisitions and trade scenarios for the Chiefs post-draft?


Shwartz or Fisher, to compete with Niang for RT?

Breeland, Earl Thomas or Sherman at DB?

Melvin Ingram as dedicated Pass Rusher?

Larry Fitzgerald or Goldan Tate as WR #2?

Pull off the big trade for Julio!?

[Couch-Potato]

Dede, Ingram/Okafor, and Breeland seem to be the top targets.

Any additional surprise cuts or under-the-radar trades for a WR, DE, CB out there?

No interest in Richard Sherman here at CP?

...to the ship?

Maybe.

Don't know much about him in the NFL but he was a standout All-American at UNI and was the MVP of the East-West Shrine Bowl the year he came out.

I looked him up and he wasn't invited to the combine but posted a respectable 4.46 at his pro day. He did put up really good vert and broad jumps - 42.5" and 11'2" respectively. He's 6'2" so he might be a kind of jump ball guy.

Fountain was balling with the Colts but then got a season ending injury. That stalled his development and by the time he was ready to play again the Colts had drafted two high end recievers. His traits are great it's just a matter of whether he can learn the playbook and embrace this opportunity.

Daurice Fountain had a good senior year at UNI with 13 games, 66 catches for 943 yards and 12 TDs. As htismage writes, he was the MVP of the Shrine Bowl with 61 yards on 3 catches and 2 punt returns for 30 and 10 yards. I think a good signing if he can be healthy.

BRING HIM HOME VEATCH RIGHT DOESEYS RONG

[RealSNR]

Lol. Pretty much the one and only time Chiefs fans have questioned the wisdom of the coaches and front office in determining the 53 man roster out of training camp/preseason and actually been right.

I mean, now that I look back on it, what the **** was the team thinking in keeping Nick ****ing Williams? Seriously. Pretty sure we booted his ass out the door midway through the year anyway and brought in Kendall Reyes or somebody like that.

Score update-

Chiefs coaches 458
Chiefs fans 1

So are we just gonna sit around with $9m in cap space? Nah, Veach will cook something up and we'll end up with a sexy addition....but, who? Is there a cut candidate? A low key big-name vet that will end up on the block? WR? Edge? CB? RB?

[Wilson8]

Spotrac.com says we have 89 players on current roster with $8,288,534 of cap space. Overthecap.com also says we have 89 players on current roster with $7,872,709 of cap space. Chiefs usually like to keep a few million for needed roster additions during the season.

There are a few positions that might be improved, but cap space is going to limit what we do unless we redo a contract or two.

I think the Chiefs will go into the preseason with what we have, but Brett will watch other teams rosters and maybe pick up a couple of players with a low cost trade or signing a veteran at a club friendly deal.

Chiefs have -

(18) CB/DB/S - Tyrann Mathieu, Armani Watts, Juan Thornhill, Daniel Sorensen, Rodney Clemons, Zayne Anderson, Devon Key, Will Parks, Charvarius Ward, Rashad Fenton, L’Jarius Sneed, Thakarius Bopete Keyes, Deandre Baker, Mike Hughes, Chris Lammons, Marlon Character, Dicaprio Bootle, and Manny Patterson.

(15) OL - Orlando Brown, Joe Thuney, Austin Blythe, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Mike Remmers, Nick Allegretti, Kyle Long, Lucas Niang, Creed Humphry, Trey Smith,
Andrew Wylie, Yasir Durant, Martinas Rankin, Prince Tega Wanogho, and Darryl Williams.

(14) WR - Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson, Cornell Powell, Antonio Callaway, Chad Williams, Marcus Kemp, Gehrig Dieter, Jody Fortson, Maurice Ffrench, Daurice Fountain, Chris Finke, and Dalton Schoen.

(14) DL - Frank Clark, Chris Jones, Jurran Reed, Derrick Nnadi, Khalen Saunders, Michael Danna, Tershawn Wharton, Taco Charlton, Joshua Kaindoh, Tim Ward, Austin Edwards, Demone Harris, Tyler Clark, and Malik Herring.

(9) LB - Anthony Hitchens, Dorian O’Daniel, Willie Gay Jr, Ben Niemann, Nick Bolton, Darius Harris, Omari Cobb, Riley Cole, and Emmanuel Smith.

(7) RB/FB - Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson, Jerick McKinnon, Derrick Gore, Elijah McGuire, and Michael Burton.

(5) TE - Travis Kelce, Blake Bell, Noah Gray, Nick Keizer, and Evan Baylis.

(4) QB - Patrick Mahomes, Chad Henne, Shane Buechele, and Anthony Gordon.

(3) ST - Harrison Butker, James Winchester, and Tommy Townsend.

The Chiefs do not have $9 million in cap space because they need to set aside $5 million for injuries and so on.

I wouldn't expect anything other than Vet Minimum players at this point.

Bashaud Breeland's contract details with the Vikings are now on overthecap.com.

$1,075,000 Base, $1,000,000 Pro Rated Bonus, $925,000 per game roster bonus, $1,075,000 guaranteed, $2,727,944 cap. So actually less that what the Chiefs paid last year at $3M with a $2.5M guaranteed.

Breeland's Viking contract was earlier reported to be a $4M contract.

Bashaud has said several times he wanted to play in KC.

It would seem that KC was ready to move on.
