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.
Awfully quiet around one Arrowhead drive. We seem to be bleeding talent and not adding much. We seem to be putting a lot on the draft to address our needs. [Reply]

Veach is going to add at least 1 more big impact player.
I know this sounds crazy but Dallas cant afford Demarcus Lawrence, he has said he wont play on the Franchise Tag so they may be willing to trade him for whatever they can get. Maybe the second rounder we got for Ford next year?

There is before the draft and there is after the draft. You want to be rather solid across the board in order to have flexibility at the draft but you also want to see what positions you draft (especially early) in order to finalize the roster with maybe a trade or adding a few more free agents.
This team could use improvement at pretty much every position on defense and at TE and C/G but at the same time, going into the draft, there is no glaring need other than maybe another CB and arguably a passrusher. Ward for me needs to be the #4 CB to start the season and the DE are too much of an unknown as far as passrushing goes. [Reply]

That would be a Veach move for sure!!
Your about 30 pages late on the lawrence circle jerk. [Reply]

First of all, it would cost more than that 2020 2nd round pick and then Lawrence is going to command a monster contract.
So no, quite simply.
I don't know what will happen with Hill though.
And what Veach is going to do is he is going to draft a passrusher early in that supposedly very strong draft at the Dline position. [Reply]

I doubt it.
BUT, if you look at trade value-
If Lawrence sits and he walks next year, they get a #3 comp pick, isn't that correct?
So next year's #2>#3 comp. Although they consider value a round lower if it's next year value-wise.
One of this year's #2> next year's #2.
I'd totally do that. I doubt the 'Boys let him go though, I would bet anything they get a deal done.
AND I think Veach is planning on re-loading in the draft with vet stopgaps in FA, not huge deal guys. Which, with the Jones/Hill/Mahomes extensions all coming up is the smart play. [Reply]
