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]

I don’t think an $8-10m type is out of the question though. WR, Edge, or OL.
Part of me thinks they will try to address WR by bringing Watkins back for pennies. I don’t love it but since Mahomes is rehabbing an injury, they may opt for continuity offensively.
You just never know. That first year of the deal is always small. Let’s not forget that the man was trying to get Andrus Peat with $170 dollars in cap space last year :-) [Reply]
I mean if it’s for only a couple million and you also draft a WR... I could see bringing Watkins back. Might allow you to give a ‘bigger’ contract to a DE like Lawson or an OL rather than another WR.
But you can’t just bring Watkins back alone without adding another starting caliber WR on top of it. [Reply]

I gotta say, I’m glad we didn’t get him too. Peat has been a major brokedick and not that great either.
I’d rather try to hit on an ascending free agent OL who isn’t going to cost us $10m+ AAV but might turn into that level of player once he gets here. Similar to Schwartz. [Reply]
I know it’s a pipe dream but I’m still hoping Watt will take a $5m-ish deal to come win a ring and eat up 75%+ of our snaps at a DE spot next year.
Just incredibly hard to find guys who can be trusted to play on every single down and with him, we’d have two at DE. Not that he’s the only one available though. It’s actually a solid edge FA class currently, although Houston is not a real option. And I worry that some of the others are young enough that they will chase the money above all. [Reply]

We made Schwartz one of the highest paid RTs at the time when he signed here. [Reply]

Probably, but the deal was still super reasonable, like $30-35m over 5 years or something like that. Stupid good value before teams started recognizing that the RT is equally important to the LT. [Reply]
Well again I’m not gonna like it but I do think they’re bringing Sammy back. Can only hope that they get another WR in the draft + Calloway to fill in and do well when he inevitably gets hurt.
As for OL draft folks, your wish will be granted. Not sure if it will be an OT, but after next year only Niang, Allegretti and Durant are on payroll.
It’s a damn near gaurantee that these guys are taking one in the first 2 rds. [Reply]
If Schwartz is done and it isn't looking promising Fish will be back in 2021 I think it makes a lot of sense to trade for Orlando Brown Jr. if Veach feels he is a franchise left tackle.
1.) Trade for Brown Jr.
2.) Draft a center with your 2nd rounder (Landon Dickerson)
3.) Resign Osemele if his health checks out
4.) Resign Remmers
Opener in 2021 your starting offensive line is Brown Jr., Osemele, Dickerson, LDT, Niang
Allegretti is depth on the interior and you have Remmers as your swing tackle. Brown Jr., Dickerson and Niang are your young core on the o-line moving forward.
Cap space saved moving on from Fish and Schwartz go after a legit WR #2 or another piece on the defensive line on a 1 year contract. [Reply]

He’ll have his usual breakout game Week 1, disappear for the next 7 weeks and then get a nagging injury that keeps him out of the rest of the season. [Reply]

I’m going to say this all offseason. Fuck Sammy Watkins. I appreciate the championship but the dude has no spot on this team.
