Yeah if Veach is smart he’ll try to trade Watkins after this season. Ask for a 2nd and some team will listen.

those contracts that increase in cap cost seem to never get completed

if he works out they probably extend him

or maybe not since there is a new bargaining agreement on the horizon if I remember right

So how do we figure he’ll get hurt or underwhelm? Seems to be the going way for chiefs free agents lately

Freak luggage accident.

Concussion via Mahomes fastball in camp.

He’s going to be a married man.

This guy is great. I'm loving being wrong so far

Kind of exciting to be reminded of this move.

Honey badger has eleventy billion X the spirit of former Chiefs safeties in this century.

He's going to be super awesome fun time. Know how I know this?

Oooooooooooceans.

Oceans.

Great listen.

Major props to Mathieu and what he’s doing for this defense right now. As a player and leader.

For my money, he looks like an All-Pro defensive back. Emphasis on DB there, cause he does everything. He spent most of today covering Sutton at the LOS. Incredible addition.

Great leader. We needed it bad after our screwed us over.

Earlier in the season he made some “business decisions” and was not terribly noticeable on the stat sheets. Something changed.
He’s the communicator out there, and he’s uplifted that secondary. I love his instincts and I think Spags rewards him by mixing up his responsibilities. There's a lot of buy-in on the defensive side of the ball and I think Mathieu has been a catalyst in getting everybody to be on the same page.

You're right about the business decisions, and you're also right about his play improving quite a bit lately. I'm officially removing my "cover Safety" label for him. This is the type of play and leadership we were all hoping for when we picked him up.
