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]

Legit super bowl contenders should benefit from this. I don't think we are going to see FA wide receivers go out there and get long term big money deals with the cap realities for most teams. Sure, if you want to get paid and play for the Jets, Pats or Jags, have at it, but good teams are pretty much in the same boat.
The problem with going to a contender is that they're often pretty talented and you actually have to PLAY to stand out.
The NFL compensatory picks have been announced. The #Chiefs are receiving a 4th round pick (selection number 145) and an additional 5th round pick (selection number 182)
The #Giants are releasing veteran guard Kevin Zeitler, clearing nearly $10 million in cap space. Even in a tough free agent market, Zeitler will be in demand considering how well he played [Reply]
Yeah, but he was brought in to be RB2.... signing him during the season is way different than the beginning of free agency.
Nobody is going to spend FA dollars on areas where they don’t have a need. My point is this season may allow us to plug a few holes with 1 year gap players who think they will get more money next off season [Reply]

Bell was always a weird fit for this offense, as I'd said for the last couple years when everyone was clamoring to sign him first for big money as a FA and then later, and even when we did for cheap.
In my opinion, The Steelers at that particular point in time were still a threat in the play-offs, and Bell was brought in as much to keep him away from Pittsburgh where he might've hurt us as he was to be a #2 back here.
His playing time here would seem to back my hypothesis. [Reply]
If we can't get Samuels, Golladay, Agholor, or Jones this would be a good signing. I'm assuming there's no way we get the tier 1 WRs.
Golliday is in tier 1 as far as I'm concerned. I would add corey davis to the second tier of Samuel, jones, agholor. Even though I think his talent is a tier below, I would rather have Higgins than agholor. We need someone surehanded. [Reply]
