More details on Joe Thuney's 5-year, $80M deal with the Chiefs: Signing bonus: $17M Base salaries: $990K, $13.9M, $15M, $15.5M, $15.5M Workout bonuses totaling $2.11M
That structure keeps Thuney's 2021 cap number at just $4.5M.
If we sign Silverback, Mahomes may not get sacked again.
Like, ever.
Hyperbole, but with Niang snd Silverback at the tackles and Thuney at guard and a good center from the draft, he won’t get sacked much by anyone snd Clyde should be able to explode.
Also, we will always have time to run WASP. [Reply]
You know what at this point I fully expect us to land Williams. I have changed my tune on this. With rap sheet saying we’re still in on him and what do we have that other teams don’t have?? We have a BRETT VEACH!! When he wants somebody he gets him. He will do whatever it takes to get his guy. No one is better and I repeat no one is a better GM in this league than him [Reply]

Roughly what we gave for Mahomes? If the sure fire, can't miss, start on week 1 guy is available... Pull the trigger. This guy will be protecting the blind side of our half a billion dollar investment at QB for the remainder of his career. Who on the roster is more important to the long term plan than Mahomes himself? Keep Mahomes upright with time IN the pocket, and we're in every game. [Reply]

There's absolutely no such thing a "sure thing" in the draft.
You NEVER trade up that far for anything other than a QB. [Reply]

If we can actually develop a pocket, it will limit the effectiveness of the opposing edge-rushers because the angles will be more favorable to our Tackles.

A sure fire can’t miss LT...there might be only one in this draft & that’s probably in the top 5 picks. [Reply]
Drafting an OT at 31 (or trading up for one) to start right away to protect Pats blindside in an offense that thrives when the QB has time to find the open receivers
I will be shocked if Silverback isn’t a Chief when it’s all said and done. [Reply]
