Look, I'm not bagging on the signing at all but Robinson has been nothing more than a JAG and the lack of serious interest and contract reflect that fact.
I hope he's more productive when the ball comes his way this season but I'm not expecting him to suddenly take over the #2 spot in the offense.
he and the GF/Wife? hang out with Mahomes/Brittany a lot socially. Wonder if they needed a JAG, why not let it be someone Mahomes already gets along with and knows their tendencies on the field? [Reply]
#Chiefs make a really smart signing here. Only $1M against the cap for a WR who knows Andy Reid's offensive system under Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs presumably won’t have OTAs this year to teach up a newcomer. KC doesn’t have much room but being smart with what it has. https://t.co/9lSjUwDTZl

Adding Pringle into the mix and I think this means even without Sammy we can wait on WR until a bit later. Use the first three picks on some combination of LB, DB, IOL and go from there. [Reply]
Demarcus Robinson’s one-year deal is worth $2,297,500 fully guaranteed. That’s the maximum allowed to qualify for the new veteran salary benefit under the CBA. So Robinson gets guaranteed money, but only counts around $1M on the #Chiefs’ cap. https://t.co/e5REnm4Uvm

We discussed (argued) about that in the sherman thread. I mentioned Robinson as the only other guy that would be eligible for it. Didnt think we'd be using it on him though. Glad to be wrong. But that means that whatever Sherman got paid all counts against the cap. Anything up to 1.25 mil over the minimum could have been used on either of those guys. [Reply]

I'd prefer the Chiefs draft to the strength of the class.
They missed out on 2014 and hope they don't miss out on 2020. [Reply]

I don't know if I like the whole WR band getting back together when the draft class is so talented, so if Robinson is back I think letting Watkins go might be the right thing to do.
Sort of paves the way nicely for a draft pick, gives them a year to get up to speed on the offense to take a bigger role after this one year deal is up. [Reply]

I don't believe that Pringle's presence on the roster should preclude the Chiefs from drafting an amazingly talented receiver from this class.
Pringle, who will turn 27 in November, is the very definition of a JAG. [Reply]
