The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

On who?
A guy like Nelson is going to get $12-13M per. Maybe we could get a safety on the cheap (although I'm not a fan of that either) but getting a CB anywhere but the draft looks to be impossible. [Reply]

It would have to be trade or draft for a corner I think if you want a top notch one.
I’d look at bringing in a mid tier guy too like Breeland just to stock it up [Reply]

And the safety position as well. Unless people are ok with giving another a safety another huge contract. [Reply]

Sign him cheaper
They need a lot more bodies back there and they’ve gotta come from somewhere [Reply]

$12.5 million for Alexander/Barr or $14 million on an old, broken Earl Thomas (I think Landon Collins gets the tag), at least $13 million on Ronald Darby or a lesser corner in a below average market?
Yeah if I’m spending on 1 FA, I’m getting something for my money. I wouldn’t mind Thomas, but his age and injuries worry me for his price tag.
It looks like we are going to be getting rid of Houston and Ford in the next 2 years, as well as Berry when possible, so money will open up easily for a lower investment like an ILB to fit in fine.
Draft is gonna have to be used on DE, corner and Safety. [Reply]
Tag and trade Ford. If any player other than Mahomes can be traded for two #1 picks, take it. Build in the draft, no mega-contracts other than Mahomes. Keep the cap under control for mid-season deals. [Reply]
