What the **** is our FO thinking?
Brett Veach is a complete and utter moron...
If it comes to pass he didn't get the surgeries and misses an extended period of time due to having to get them now and our FO knew all of this, that's gross negligence of high order. [Reply]

Don’t look if you don’t want to be pissed off. Keep in mind he said this was for BOTH elbows.
Spoiler!
If there is a complete tear of the ligament or if pain and dysfunction persists despite conservative treatment, surgical intervention may be considered. This would include repairing the tear or reconstructing the tear. Many people are familiar with the name of this surgery which is called Tommy John’s surgery.
This is really looking like a terrible situation for the chiefs. If he doesn’t get the surgeries this could turn into the Eric Berry “week to week.” If he does get the surgeries, he will have been ineffective the first full season and miss a large portion of the second season. It’s looking like we will give this guy over 40M before we even start to see any return on investment aka his third season with the team. After that we could get out of the contract. Sounds like a 3 yr 63M deal for potentially one good healthy season.
I hope I eat my own words and this is just an overreaction rather than a reality. [Reply]
Someone needs to tell veach the ol cliche “the best ability is availability,” bc so far he seems to totally disregard a players medical history aka Frank Clark and Sammy Watkins [Reply]
This really isn’t breaking news. Also, complete recovery time (if you’re not a pitcher) is about 5-6 months. Not a big deal if he has it done at the end of the season. Sucks for right now, though. [Reply]

Could further damage throughout the season extend that recovery time though? Or is it just a pain tolerance type of thing [Reply]

Richard Sherman’s job doesn’t rely on his using his arms/hands against 300 lb athletes every play. [Reply]

Veach needs to go. He's in way over his head. It looks like he did a great job of bird dogging Mahomes and his agent. Other than that, he's totally under-performing.
If Clark Hunt isn't p*ssed, then he's getting taken for a ride. [Reply]

Watkins was an obvious brokedick, but at least he’s really only on a 2-year deal. I could see why you might take a chance there.
Clark had played in 62 of 64 games in Seattle and started 28 of his last 32. That’s part of why they got him.
Justin Houston played in 43 of the 64 games in that same period. Dee Ford played in 41 of the 64 games in that same period. [Reply]

Naw, this season is fucked, but next will not be. [Reply]
