Can’t stop won’t stop thought I told ya that we won’t stop.
So who is next up on Veach’s list? Gotta thing we get 1 or 2 olinemen before the deadline. Was really thinking that Alex Mack is our Center in a couple of weeks. Anything thoughts of who he might go and get out there? Vets or under achieving guys on rookie deals? A little of both? What’s next for old Brett?
Mack and Kelce are intriguing options on teams that are bad enough for it to make sense.
In Kelce’s case, the Eagles have already had a ton of injuries to their OL. I don’t know if they’d be willing to lose another starter if it mean Wentz getting killed. [Reply]
This was posted on ESPN by Bill Barnwell in an article about realistic NFL trade proposals - there were 13 possible trade ideas and this was the only 1 to involve the Chiefs.
Bengals trade Billy Price to Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs get: C Billy Price, 2021 seventh-round pick
Cincinnati Bengals get: 2021 fifth-round pick
The Chiefs are thin on the interior of their offensive line. They lost Laurent Duvernay-Tardif before the season when the doctor opted out to work with coronavirus patients. It seemed like the Chiefs had found a bargain when they signed former Ravens star Kelechi Osemele to replace Duvernay-Tardif, but Osemele tore tendons in both of his knees on Sunday, and he is expected to miss the remainder of the season. Former Panthers and Giants tackle Mike Remmers, who was the team's swing tackle, will kick inside to play guard.
Kansas City should look to add at least one offensive lineman to supplement its depth. In 2017, it targeted a disappointing former first-rounder by sending a fifth-round pick to the Browns for Cameron Erving, who spent two years with the team. The Chiefs could make a similar move in going after Price, who has taken only 68 snaps across five games for the Bengals despite the inconsistent play of their starters in front of Joe Burrow. Price, the No. 21 overall pick in the 2018 draft, has just under $3.2 million in guaranteed money left on his deal over the next two years, so if the Chiefs can turn the former Ohio State standout into a viable utility lineman, they'll come out ahead on this deal.

They’re also in maybe the worst division of all time, where they will be ‘in it’ for a good while. [Reply]

Mack is way to expensive. $8M base salary this season. [Reply]
I’m calling my shot prematurely but I believe Veach has a chance to go down as the GOAT GM. Have all of our drafts been perfect? No, but he seems to have a knack for making the right FA moves at the right time. Combine it with his salary cap wizardry and I’d say he’s well on his way. Chiefs front office is a f***ing well oiled machine! [Reply]
I trust Veach and his wizardry. I looked at the PS squad and we seem to be short there as well. What's the timeline on Rankin? If we have to use Remmers as a G, who's our swing T? [Reply]
