We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

I guess.
I just don't like the idea of mortgaging a future for a one year run. There's no need. As long as you have Mahomes, you can seriously contend every year. If we do that 'all in' thing, we're going to end up the Packers; one ring and watch Mahomes get old with a shit cast around him.
-I'm aware that Green Bay is bad because of poor drafting and not because they went 'all in' I'm just saying, I don't want ONE ring, I want 6 or 7. I want decades of dominance.
Just get the defense to decent and we smoke everybody next year. [Reply]

I don’t mind if they sign these guys to deals that works with our cap in the coming years.
The draft is the most important part of this. If Veach hits on some players then it won’t matter.
I still maintain that the problem with our cap was duration of contracts. If Houston and Berry had received 4 year contracts instead of 6, we would be in such a better place...especially if we would have just signed Berry in 2016 instead of 2017. [Reply]
it's not like he's a bad player. He's a wildly expensive player at a position in which he's unlikely to drastically improve the production we already have.
I do think he's kind of a dick.
I do think it'd be an irresponsible move when you really need to improve your shit defense if you want to get to a Super Bowl and win it
My irritation with the suggestion last night was
1)thanks to a heaping helping of Buffalo Trace post rehearsal for the South By Southwest music festival in Austin next week and
2)the inability or unwillingness of people to look at the situation logically.
If they signed Bell, I'd raise an eyebrow for sure, wondering if Veach had lost his mind. Until he shows me he's an idiot though, I'd just wonder what his plan is. [Reply]
