He's a Mormon so Andy gives him more slack.

Kickers win and lose too many games to not take the position seriously. Give him a 4 or 5 year deal.

Yep. Butker made the most clutch kick in Chiefs history.

Devaluing kickers puts you in a 1995 situation.

Fun Butker fact: in 2017, he made more FG attempts than any Chief kicker ever. This past year, he made more extra point attempts than all but 3 NFL kickers in a single season (2013 Prater, 2007 Gostkowski, and 1984 Von Schuman were the only ones higher)

Butker is clutch!! Needs to work on extra points but when it comes to field goals he doesn’t miss. He made the FG right down the middle to send the Chiefs into overtime

Jets are in the market for a cornerback. They have interest in Colts free agent Pierre Desir, I’m told.

Sad truth. If we had 11 guys playing at that level in the AFCCG...

I would still like to target the following guys:

KJ Wright - Think we can get him on incentive laden deal

Cameron Wake - Same as above, plus we are going to need a mentor to Speaks + Rookie

Vet CB - Again mentor for Rookie + Kendal

Wake signed with the Titans

Wake is gone isn't he?

Pretty sure I read Wake has an agreement elsewhere.

Chiefs seem to be taking their sweet ass time.

I don't see a reason to do that right now. Take Butker on the cheap for one more year than pay him.

The Chiefs need to squeeze the absolute most from the free cap right now.

I can now add to this the above will not happen. Earl Thomas will not be signing with the #Browns, source says. We wait to see where he will sign but it won’t be in Cleveland.

Just saw where TE Demetrius Harris signed with Browns.

On the topic of overpaid players, anyone really think we need to keep paying a punter what we're paying colquitt?

Pass on Thomas
