I wonder who is at the other corner spot on the 1's this morning along with Breeland? Ward is not practicing. Anyone know why? Is it Fuller or Miller? It about has to be one of those two. [Reply]

All I know is Fields is with the second team [Reply]

But the $11 million in base salary for '19 is already spent at that point and is rollover wasted. I don't think people are giving adequate consideration to the fact that we're going to need to add something like $65-70 million to this cap structure in the next 2 seasons. We'll need every thin red dime of rollover we can get for that and torching 15% of what it would take on a mediocre zone corner is a bad idea regardless of long-term liabilities.
Using him as a rental remains a pretty awful idea. [Reply]
Thornhill stride for stride with Hill. Mahomes chucks it deep to his outside shoulder. Sun in their eyes and Hill found the ball late to his outside shoulder and couldn’t adjust. The key part is Thornhill stride for stride with Hill at full speed. #Chiefs

I mostly do. But a few people I follow will re-tweet them on occasion. Lord I hope it's done ironically.... [Reply]

I understand that, although I do wonder if the Chiefs are planning for there to be a pretty large cap increase after a new CBA is done. [Reply]

Here's the strangest thing about Norman - there is so much hype about this dude and he was good for one year.
In 2015 he was excellent. He hasn't been a truly good player any other season of his career. And he was 25 as a rookie so he's coming into his age 32 season.
The dirty little secret about Norman is that his 'bad season' last year wasn't all that much worse than any other year of his career apart from that one outlier season in 2015. He was almost exactly the same player in '18 that he was in '14, '16 and '17. He was so bad in '12 and '13 he barely even played.
And he'll be a virtually identical player this year. The player you get next season won't be any better than Claiborne, IMO.
He just isn't a very good football player. He's a very average football player who had a career year at the right time, got himself paid and then went back to being an extremely average football player.
The Josh Norman fascination is bizarre and I'm betting that he ends up getting cut and signing for a fraction of what people are saying the Chiefs should take on. I was thinking around $5 million but man, I don't think he's any better than Breeland and isn't Breeland's max around $3 million if all incentives are reached? That's Claiborne's max as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut and ends up taking a $3 million deal or so.
Dude's old and he was never great to begin with. That is a flash over substance move and there's no reason to make it at all. Norman may not make this team better at all. [Reply]
Ragland looks noticeably quicker out there so far this year. This play in particular shows some of the speed he's gained back in 2019, having to cover a 4.47 WR in the flat on a play designed to get him free. Takes away the flat and allows Tanoh to force a throwaway. pic.twitter.com/ajuOKeJmTY
