In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him? [Reply]
Fisher and Schwartz are done - cut them. Replace through the draft or FA, the salary cap is our foe. Completely focus on the OLINE\, ILB, DE. WR, C. This of course ain't going to happen. So, where can the void's be filled? [Reply]

Fisher extension? He's 29 years old who's suffered an Achilles rupture. An extension isn't happening unless it's to be a backup utility player [Reply]

We already played that game with Berry and the defensive backfield in 2018 and it very likely cost us a Super Bowl.
This team hasn't thrived without a 3rd receiving option. This team has been at its best with Watkins on the field. So you're wrong there.
I don't know what to tell you man, Fisher isn't going anywhere. They're not going to do what you want them to do. They're going to get help on the line but it isn't going to be the degree of change you seem to want. [Reply]

Peters is a 1st ballot HOFer whenever he retires. If he can give like 10 games that should be long enough for Fisher to come back. Jason Peters might not be the same guy he was 5 years ago but surely his game hasn't completely fallen off a cliff.

One more time:
You CANNOT cut an injured player.
Fisher and Schwartz are under contract and will be back unless they agree to something else. [Reply]

You can't be serious.
He's going to get an extension and he'll be the starter again by mid-season or so.
He's not going to accept a lesser role and they're not going to eat his $15M cap hit so he can sit on the bench. [Reply]

Yes, he isn't 25 years old coming off a career changing injury who's an average LT that's protecting anyone besides Mahomes evidence of the Alex Smith years.
It would be idiotic to extend him again as a Franchise Tackle. [Reply]

And yet that's exactly what they're probably going to do.
They're not going into the season him taking up $15M in cap space. It isn't going to happen. [Reply]
