Chiefs 2019 Free agency Thread - Page 414

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.

Anything is possible but I seriously doubt the Chiefs would sign a guy like that. The me first, diva shit he pulled does not go over well in midwestern markets.
Bell, Brown, Peters, guys like that... they just don't fit the Chiefs player profile.

Start averaging 12 wins a year and even Midwest folk won’t give a shit about character, or at least the smart ones won’t. I wish the owner would learn that.

Plus he's coming off a full year of rest. He should have extra fresh legs.

This is a deal that makes a lot of sense the more you think about it

Breer said he’s around 11-12 mil now. I’d do 13-14 a year with 75-80 percent of it guaranteed

RB is just so easy to replace relative to other positions. As fun as that could be I just think it's better spent on defense. If there are no real options on defense and we get him for 11-12, epscially short in length, then idk ok I guess. But I'm as staunch in not spending on RB's as anybody is. And if the contract was more than that, then forget it.

Yes.

And we'll have new starters at 5 (perhaps 6) of the 11 defensive positions. That's not a patch job - that's half the defense...

this sounds crazy - would we stock 4 RBs tho?
[Reply]

You could have 2 or 3 defensive players for that

No thanks

We did it last year

Also Hyde’s contract has a bonus for every game he’s on the 46 man gameday roster. Is that normal?

not if you factor in rotation

Agreed. I really wanted us to draft Bell but I also wanted us to draft Hyde.

I love what Hyde brings. He can do everything Hunt did when healthy and has an extra 20 lbs on him. If we hadn't already signed Hyde I could see the Bell rumor having some smoke to it...

One might get a little wild and kick a girl in the head

Gotta be prepared
