Chiefs 2019 Free agency Thread - Page 493

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.

The #49ers re-signed DB Jimmie Ward on a 1-year deal worth $5M, source said.

Hence my preface with drafting one of the big 3 tight ends in this draft with my first pick.

If not, no I probably wouldn't do it.

Meeting with Darby tomorrow. Hope they can find someone else to sign in the meantime for depth.

Maybe we resign Benjamin, feed him a Popeyes biscuit, and put him at TE?

I don't think we need to feed him anymore to move him to TE.

He'd need to learn to block though. Pretty fucking poor at at from what I remember.

Plus you know they love Kelce in that locker room and building. That move would rock the boat a lot.

But look at it in terms of years remaining at/near present production.

TE's age better than CBs. A 29 yr old Kelce on a fantastic contract is going to be a Jag for a total outlay of a little more than $25 million dollars. And he'll be 31 at the end of the deal which is still at/near his prime.

Ramsey would cost roughly $38 million over that 3-year period and that's only IF you can get him to show up and play on the tag the 3rd year.

So the age thing matters, but not quite as much given that Kelce should age well given his position and relatively low miles. And it's offset somewhat by the contractual difference between the two.

It's too complicated and would never happen because of PR if nothing else, but it's not completely nutty IF the Chiefs could snag Fant.

“The reality is this. The #Chiefs needed to get younger on their defensive line. More athletic and stout. That’s why Daly is here, to coach them up. Defense also needed new voices to head in a new direction. $$$ needed to go to back end.” - @Jacobs71

Probably a lot of truth in that. I do think Speaks is going to surprise us early on, he’s gonna be a good player IMO. More to be added though all over.

Even then, it's one of those Big Three with the two scrubs behind them.

This is correct. Just because some draft pick can "do what Kelce does" on paper doesn't mean he's the same guy, with the same trust and chemistry that he and Mahomes have developed.

Now, how 'bout that designation, friend? :-)
