He's old and injury prone. But this is a good situation for that. It buys some time for Niang. And it gives an extra veteran option which is fine since what we most need is someone to hold the fort down until fisher is back, right? But only at the right price of course. [Reply]

By definition, a stop gap plays. You don't sign injury-prone players to be stop gaps. [Reply]
He’s going to be here guys. I’m shocked you all don’t see it. It’s dirt cheap, no risk and familiar. Reid is not just throwing out 2 new tackles next year who don’t know the system. He’s certainly not lining Remmers up at LT to start the year.
I’m not saying he’s playing 16 games. He’s just the kind of guy who teams like the ‘new’ Chiefs sign. I think there’s an obvious connection. [Reply]

You might consider it when that player protects mahomes' blind side. The hope is that niang wins the position. This just adds an extra layer of insurance. Maybe a game or 2 if niang isn't ready. If niang isn't ready and Peters gets hurt we're in the same position we're in today. [Reply]

Lets revisit this after the Super Bowl. If Remmers holds it down you can't resign him quickly enough. Honestly, at this point in their careers, Mike Remmers is a better player than 39 year old Jason Peters. [Reply]

You seem to get it. Pretty easy to understand I thought.
People seem to think I’m saying KC should hand him a 4 year, 40 million deal.
We literally have no healthy tackles who have played a single snap under contract for next year. Andy does not play rookie linemen, especially at tackle.

Your heart is in the right place, but with his age and injury history he isn't even reliable depth anymore [Reply]
