Pretty much zero leaks or news on the Chiefs and any FAs.
The position is too important to hope someone is still available later. That tells me the Chiefs must be confident in Wanya.
Last season seemed a little lucky with Smith still being available after the draft. Maybe we’ll see something similar this year too, but seems like a gamble.
I'd love to have a beer with Andy Heck today...
He'd tell us all we need to know about Wanya's outlook.
I think it's gonna look a lot like last offseason. If BPA in the draft becomes their preferred LT, there you go. Otherwise might just wait to sign insurance after the draft. [Reply]

On 100 targets? No.
That's OTW's point. If he's catching 80 balls, he'll need 125+ targets to get there. He's not getting that absent substantial injury to Kelce or Rice. [Reply]

Eh I actually think he could get 125 targets, we throw a lot, Kelce is obviously moving into having his load managed more and more and Brown would play starter snaps. [Reply]

I think Kelce load management and a healthy Rice would be necessary to get him to even 100 targets. [Reply]

Curious: why not? MVS' targets are available. JWat doesn't need 50 targets; give whoever half of those. Skyy/Toney's targets could be slashed in half; now we have at least 80-90 targets available. Even if we bump Rice's targets up to say 120-130, there should be at least 80-100 targets out there? [Reply]

The Chiefs changed their style when they realized how bad the WRs were, but I think people forget they sustained a massive fuckton of targets for Hill and Kelce a long with everyone else.
Brown isn't going to command Hills target number by any means. [Reply]

I don't disagree. But I think you're overstating how many targets our top 3 options have ever had. We do spread the ball around.
I think something like 125/100/100 is a pretty reasonable expectation as a distribution. Maybe +/- 10 targets on any of those guys but ultimately a pretty stable distribution of targets.
I just don't see any way we go with 125/125/110 or something like that. We just haven't done it that way in the past that I can recall, even when we had Watkins here. [Reply]
Why do we think Hollywood catches so few of his targets? I've been looking at his stats. His drop rate is pretty low. His ADOT is higher than a guy like Rashee, but still not all that high. [Reply]
