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]
Coming off a relatively major injury, Fisher doesn’t hold all the leverage. Pending full and timely recovery, he may or may not be in the long term plans.
May be possible to extend him for say 1-2 additional year(s) and reduce his cap for 2012. With that, it could make it possible to sign a stop gap at LT for 1 year AND a draft someone to develop. That draftee could play at RT to audition for the LT. [Reply]

I know for Kelce the only player I’ve seen completely shut him down was Derwin James.
Those guys are super rare
Finding a guy that can cover the leagues best TE’s is certainly hard.
Finding a guy that can cover brokedick Gronk and other average TE’s?
Also I think people need to be realistic here. I just don’t think tackle is on the list unless it’s later in the draft. They aren’t just gonna give up on Fisher when Schwartz is likely done.
I think the most realistic viewpoint here is that Reiter is going to get paid and the Chiefs will be taking a C early in the draft to go with Niang as new starters. [Reply]

Once again. Who the fuck is playing LT?
And don’t say Remmers. He can’t fucking do it. [Reply]

What are your thoughts on Yasir?
I could possibly see that. All depends on how quickly Niang can come in, learn the offense, and get in football shape. He definitely has the talent to do it.
I don’t think Yasir is anything more than depth, but there’s a small chance he could become a starting G at some point. [Reply]

He will be fine for the start of the season. Plenty if time to recover. I had an FHL transfer for my achilles and had full medical release at 6 weeks. Was in the gym the next day doing squats and running sprints. [Reply]
