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]

Sammy Watkins
Daniel Sorensen
Bashaud Breeland
Alex Okafor
Damien Wilson
Demarcus Robinson
Austin Reiter
Kelechi Osemele
Mike Remmers
Anthony Sherman
Tanoh Kpassagnon
Daniel Kilgore
Stefen Wisniewski
Antonio Hamilton
Mike Pennel
Le'Veon Bell
Ricky Seals-Jones
Taco Charlton
Deon Yelder
Andrew Wylie RFA
Gehrig Dieter SFA
Chris Lammons NOT a FA
Darrel Williams RFA
Ben Niemann RFA
Charvarius Ward RFA
Byron Pringle RFA
Alex Brown ERFA
Nick Keizer ERFA
Emmanuel Smith SFA
By the way.. look at that list.. we are not set in the secondary by any means...
These guys will all be back on tender level contracts, so cheap. Anyone know what SFA means? [Reply]
If I were calling the shots, I'd find a way to replace Fisher AND Schwartz.
But that's just not reality.
Schwartz COULD retire but then the Chiefs have to go after what's left of his guaranteed money to get that off the cap. It could happen but it also might not.
With Fisher, they almost certainly would have extended him before the injury and my guess is the the Chiefs aren't just going to fly off and replace him before they know what the situation is. Which means they're going to hang onto him and his cap number and be in limbo until probably mid-next season.
I'd say it's just as likely they draft ZERO offensive tackles as it is they pick up TWO.
My gut says you're looking at Niang starting out at RT with a stop-gap like Remmers or Rankin at LT until they know what they have in Fisher.
Again, not what I would do but what I think they will do. [Reply]

I wouldn't count on Ward being back. He may get an offer the Chiefs don't want to match. The rest of them will likely be back, including Wylie. [Reply]

Really? You think Ward is gone? I mean, I would tender him at the 2nd round level but that’s just me. [Reply]

Dude, Ward isn’t going anywhere. They aren’t going to lose both starting corners. [Reply]

Daniel Sorensen
Bashaud Breeland
Alex Okafor
Damien Wilson
Mike Remmers
Anthony Sherman
Tanoh Kpassagnon
Mike Pennel
Charvarius Ward RFA
Byron Pringle RFA

Rest can pound sand.
We can get younger and more athletic than Sorenson for a fraction of the cost.
Okafor can't even pound sand, he'd get hurt doing it.
And Tanoh is a waste of a roster spot. He can go flip burgers. [Reply]

There are dumb teams in the NFL that do stupid shit every year at this time. It only takes one team to do it and he's gone.
Sure, “anything can happen”.
But this won’t. Ward will be a Chief for at least one more year. [Reply]
