In order to prevent us wasting precious years of Patrick Mahomes' career, Veach needs to work some magic this offseason. What's your advice for him? [Reply]

Just texted with an NFL head coach about the upcoming cuts and what he expects…
“It’s going to be a massacre next week all around the league”
Oh, I don't think he's going anywhere and don't want him to.
Just saying, seeing a lot of guys in his tier get whacked gives the Chiefs some leverage in reducing his contract/re-working his contract (Similar to Watkins before 2020). [Reply]

Sure, it would be great to have an upgrade at the position but if Hitchens is the weakest link on your defense, that's a pretty damn good defense. [Reply]

Veach is going to get 2-3 guys that will help open up our draft a little.
He talked specifically about that in his presser.
Feels the allure of playing with Pat and Andy with a shot to win a ring will help a few players come to KC on absurd type bargain deals because nobody will have money. [Reply]

KC has a huge advantage once players aren't offered the $$$ they were hoping for.
Let's nail FA and the draft and go win another Super Bowl. [Reply]

Yeah, a lot of players are going to have to settle for lesser contracts.
That gives good teams the advantage because if you're forced to take a lesser deal anyway, would you want to play for a loser or a bubble team?

Because chiefs are targeting OL in the first round and don't want someone to trade back into the first and snag their guy?
Hey man, I hope Schwartz and Fisher are both back and kick ass. But the reality is all of this "We don't need a tackle!" talk is predicated on TWO guys coming back from historically terrible injuries and a second year guy who opted out and had a potentially degenerative hip issue.
Chiefs are going tackle early, and they can't go early enough. If that's second round, great, but I won't be shocked if it's 1.31 or trading down into the top of the 2nd round, getting an extra pick and taking a tackle with their first pick. [Reply]

Reaching for an OT in the first one when there’s better talent on the board is how you fuck over your team. If he’s equal with other different positions than by all means....take that OT and be good with it. If he’s the 12th rated OT and you pass on the 3rd rated DE....then that’s fucking stupid. [Reply]
