"It's more important to have the opportunity to compete within his position group" is just a polite way to say "I want to be the feature back, gimme the damn ball."

Is it possible for Damien Williams to come back if he wanted to? Not saying he would, but if for whatever reason he decided all of a sudden he wanted to play, could he? I don't know what the rules are for players who opted out before the season.
[Reply]

Nope. Once they've opted out, they're out until 2021.

If the Jets would eat most of his salary, LeVeon could probably be had.
[Reply]

That would be an epic disaster.

The Chiefs don't need another feature back, they just need a productive and reliable #2, which they had in Damien Williams but now, they've got nothing other than a couple of guys that haven't shown they belong in the league.

Leveon Bell would destroy this lockerroom with his bullshit.
[Reply]

Possibly.

Or he could fit right in and do well.

Probably not worth the risk TBH. But he could be had cheap and could spell CEH decently.
[Reply]

Surprised to see some of these names still out there. Obviously there's lamar Miller and devonta Freeman. But for cheap there's also...

Bilal powell
Jeremy hill
Isiaiah crowell (depending on injury status)
Buck allen

Not that these are great options. But if we're seeking experienced options...
[Reply]

It’s a polite way to say he wants more $$$.
[Reply]

I don't think it would be even remotely wise to move heaven and earth to bring constantly disgruntled Leveon Bell in to backup CEH.

I mean, good God, you're suggesting that the Chiefs throw a freaking grenade into their lockeroom in the hopes that he might work out.
[Reply]

I wouldn't touch any of those guys outside of maybe Freeman.

Veach needs to be looking at Practice Squads and rosters across the league for a guy on a minimal contract that would fit this offense quickly.

What’s Carlos Hyde up to these days?
[Reply]

He's the number 2 back in Seattle.
[Reply]

This is why you don't have 'football eyes' whatsoever and probably never played the game. They are 2 different type of backs for different game situations. You can't compare Darrell to Clyde.

Good Grief !!(Dane McDouche phrase)

Now with that said, I have no problem with them picking some other veteran up that matches our offense.
[Reply]

we've got 3 on the roster and a 4th on the practice squad.

Nope.
[Reply]

We've got 2.5 on the roster and nothing on the practice squad. If Washington could get a spot over Thompson, he's pretty much worthless.

We need better depth, it's not just about numbers.
