Thuney is at $18 million.
OBJ needs a new contract and we're carrying $16 million for him.
Add in the fact that we're losing a lot of the roster because we had a ton of 1 year deals the last couple of seasons....and this was bound to happen eventually.
I think you are spot on.
This is looking more and more like a reload year. [Reply]
Green Bay Packers have obvious interest in trying to retain wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling after Davante Adams trade, but his market is heating up with other NFL teams, per league sources.
I was going to create a separate thread about this...but I was looking at just how "fucked" our roster is talent wise.

WR - Hill, Hardman, Watson, Gordon, Powell, Fountain - Definitely could use a WR2 and another depth piece. Toub likes his WRs that can play STs.
TE - Kelce, Fortson, Gray - Pretty well set depending on Fortson's recovery.
OT - Brown, Wylie, Niang, Tega-Wenagho - Could use an upgrade over Wylie but it isn't a pressing need.
OG - Thuney, Smith, Allegretti, Williams - Not a need unless it's depth
C - Humphrey - Not a need
DE - Clark, Danna, Kaindoh, Herring, Calhoun - Obvious #1 need at this point. Could use two starters or at least one and a DE3.
DT - Jones, Wharton, Saunders - Another need just because Jones is getting up there in cap numbers. Also need another body next to him.
LB - Bolton, Gay, Harris - Need a 3rd LB and possibly a DLB.
CB - Sneed, Fenton, Baker, Bootle - Need an upgrade at CB2/3 and another depth piece.
S - Thornhill, Reid, Key - Need an upgrade S3 and another depth piece.
So basically our needs are:
RB2
WR2
WR4/5
DE1
DE3
DT2
LB3
LB4
CB3
CB5
S3
Yeah that LOOKS like a tons of needs but most of those positions aren't being filled by big name FAs or top 100 draft picks. Just getting a DT, DE, WR and CB in the top 100 of this draft would go along way to making this team better. [Reply]
And it seems unfortunate as well because that likely means we're not going to do anything with him.
Gonna be interesting from here on out if we don't start making some signings soon. We don't need stars but we do need quality players.
It could be that....or it could just be Veach not restructuring his contract until he needed it. Unfortunately....no one knows what Veach has planned but him. [Reply]
Per Nate Taylor on Times Ours…the Chiefs really had their eye on Za’Darius Smith but the back injury is concerning. Think we’ll still talk to him IMO but Nate mentioned money structure.
Thinks they’ll sign a vet WR. Chance for them to get a vet DL.
But again they will need to hit on the draft [Reply]
