Chiefs 2019 Free agency Thread - Page 545

O.city · 02-05-2019, 03:24 PM

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.

Maybe that’s the reason for the confusion. Either way that doesn’t sound good.

Fwiw - it's since been established that the source meant Roby, not Darby. Yes, really.

So it appears this guy is still a piece of shit that's only visiting the Chiefs.

No, two different things.

That was about Siciliano on NFLN. This is somebody on CP skating something they heard on 610.

Yip

A #Chiefs defensive philosophy I could get behind: Solid players everywhere. Just don’t have any massive holes. It’s gonna be tough to do, but that should be Veach’s goal for the offseason.

Says $32m, minus Okafor and Hill deal, maybe Darby = ?

Any space left for a splash?

ESPN Article: Free Agency Takeaways

Takeaway No. 4: The Chiefs could be preparing to do something big. Will they make a move for a pass-rusher?
Cutting Justin Houston and trading Dee Ford subtracted two top pass-rushers from Kansas City while clearing millions in cap space and creating a big need for pass-rushing help. Could the Chiefs make a move for a top pass-rusher? DeMarcus Lawrence, Frank Clark and Jadeveon Clowney are pass-rushers on the franchise tag at the moment.

An exec walked me through a hypothetical trade he thought could make sense for both teams: Clark to the Chiefs for draft choices.

2019 NFL DRAFT

When: April 25-27
Where: Nashville, Tennessee
How to watch: ABC/ESPN/ESPN App

• McShay's Mock Draft 3.0: Updated picks »
• Answering 10 intriguing draft questions »
• Kiper's Mock Draft 2.0: Going 1-32 »
• Kiper's Big Board » | McShay's Top 32 »
• Draft order: Picks 1-32 set »
• More NFL draft coverage »

"I can see it because Seattle is in a quandary with Russell [Wilson] in the last year of his deal," this exec said. "You cannot tag Frank again next year. Are you going to tag him for one year, then let him walk and get a third-round comp pick a year later? Or do you just say, 'Screw it, we will get something good for him this year and save the cash.'"

Uttering the phrase "screw it" generally is not an ideal way to enter into an important decision, but if the Seahawks became convinced Clark planned to play out the franchise tag and force the team's hand, would a team like the Chiefs, with a relatively cheap quarterback on his rookie deal, meet the pass-rusher's contract demands?

Seattle, with no second-round choice in its possession at present, could land a couple of them from Kansas City, or possibly a package including the Chiefs' first-round pick.

"I think the Seahawks would probably want to sign Clark," the exec said, "but I could absolutely see him getting traded because with Russell's situation, they are staring at possibly having Clark for only one season."

At the combine, this same exec said he could envision Houston trading Clowney if a long-term deal became elusive.

So what are we doing about the LB position? It's the worst in the NFL

Do we really want Ragland and Hitchens pursuing James White out of the backfield again?

This is just as dumb as the first time it got posted. Just sounds awful.

I won’t be surprised if they make a move for Devin Bush. There’s been some smoke there.

They've got to sign someone here soon.

OKchiefs · 03-14-2019, 07:20 PM

Linebackers are shit, defensive ends are unproven, interior line depth is shallow, safety is decent I guess, cornerback is complete shit. We're depending on rookies to bring this defense out of the gutter?

We obviously still have a ways to go with FA and the draft, but as of right now:

-Pass rush took a hit no doubt

-Run defense should be much better

-Linebackers are still shit

-Safety position much improved

Who?

Brown is the only one I’d take a look at.

Sassy Squatch · 03-14-2019, 07:33 PM

Yes. Would've been alright with Wright but he gone.

staylor26 · 03-14-2019, 07:35 PM

I think they’re for sure going LB and DE with 2 of their first 3 picks
