I think that if the Chiefs have proven ANYTHING in the last 5 years or so, it's that they'd rather sign ME to play DE than Jadeveon Clowney.
I mean there's never been even the slightest bit of smoke around that guy coming to KC at all. Not even when he was effectively a street FA looking for anybody to give him a 1-year prove it deal.
For as much as he would appear to be a fit, the front office very clearly doesn't think so. [Reply]

A guy like Toney is going to get countless chances because of how disgustingly talented he is. I'm still not sure I've see anyone in my time as a fan who has the kind of skillset he does. Those jukes are straight out of Madden.
If anyone can motivate this kid in a contract year to actually do something with himself, it's Andy, Pat and Trav.
Toney simply needs to reliably catch the ball. That's it. If he can catch a few early, that confidence will build and he'll be fine. The fact that he F-d game one last season set him back a lot, IMO. [Reply]

Yeah, never been a sniff there.
I don't really see much left out there in FA that would really help much at WR or RB. Maybe some vet DE's . [Reply]

i still think the answer is putting him on the boundary.
He's trying to run before he catches in the middle. He's trying to do too much pre-catch and losing his concentration. And then the ball pops up in the middle of the field and all hell breaks lose.
Keep him out wide and let him work. If he drops it - well hell, it probably goes OOB.
Unless/until he can get some confidence back, you can't use him over the middle. He's just sped up in that morass. [Reply]

I think he's been misused in Tennessee (even with the injuries), and would be best used as a big slot. He'd be a nice low risk high upside bet to replace Rice for the first half of the season. [Reply]

He'd only have a $1.5 million cap hit; the signing bonus would go on TN's cap.
For a 3rd day pick, I'd probably be interested. I didn't like him coming out of the draft but I'd have taken him in the late 2nd as a novelty. I don't think there's a ton there because I just never really saw him learning to run routes even at the college level.
Most 'poor man's Deebo's are just scrap-pile gimmicks that aren't actually good at anything. There's really not a lot of room for mediocre with that approach. You're either great at it or you're more trouble than you're worth. [Reply]
