Want to believe it, but it would take swallowing a lot of pride to get cut and then come back for way less. Not holding my breath. But you could tell fish and schwartz absolutely love Kansas city so who knows. [Reply]
I have no idea where their head is at, but if he's ready by August, I think a 2 year deal with the guarantee up front isn't out of the question. If he can be had cheap a transition year and getting his higher salary off the books is a sage move. I thought they'd do it quickly, but I'm a moron and know nothing, so.... [Reply]
I was thinking that too. I'm guessing that Veach probably told both of them to go out and see what they can get. Maybe even put an offer on the table that's there for the taking of they can't get any better. [Reply]
I feel like people are just talking themselves into this so they dont have a knot in their stomach every time they think about our lack of a starting caliber left tackle. It is possible but id say unlikely if anything. He got cut because he wasnt going to be ready. They have made it obvious its time to get younger and better across the line. bringing back a 31 year old big man with an achilles injury doesn't fit the bill imo. [Reply]

And bringing in Okung who’s 3 years older and has more Injuries does for the bill? [Reply]
How exactly? What should’ve been done differently?
We wasted the first three days of FA in suspended animation because our intel was wrong on Trent Williams.
Which was problematic to begin with: our actual offseason plan involves dumping a LT we literally went 26-1 with in order to try to outbid a half dozen other teams on the hottest free agent in the NFL — which we misjudged anyway.
We dropped the largest guard contract in league history for a really great guard. And we entered the offseason with gigantic holes at LT, WR, and DE. And we’re pretty much going to end up there.
It’s hard to imagine the long term ramifications of how dogshit this offseason has been. We cannot resteucture Mahomes, Kelce, or Jones every offseason. And we did it this year for mild returns at best.
And 2022 is going to be extraordinarily rough, as well. We had some tough holes to fill this offseason, and we failed to fill any of them, unless Veach has the best draft of his GM career. 2022 will offer more cap space, and somehow even more holes. [Reply]
