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]

It's a concussion history though, it can crop up at literally any time. It's a compounding residual injury. [Reply]

But like I said, replacing him isn't a priority so it's not something they have to worry about this off season unless someone amazing drops or something. (I don't know shit about college football other than the stars so I don't know if there's any "amazing" LBs)
He's not the main signal caller in every sub package though, that was my point.
I guess you could make a case that a better player might fit across more sub packages but like you said, they have other priorities. [Reply]

Reiter is a FA and I’m not paying him a ton of money to come back. [Reply]

The problem is that guard seems like the least likely position to get address with actual "new" blood.
With the Schwartz and Fisher injuries and Reiter's pending FA, you need bodies there at the very least.
At guard, they have Rankin, LDT, Aligretti, and even Wiley as a RFA. It isn't ideal but I just don't see them spending on guard when the tackles and center have such big question marks. [Reply]

I think Reiter's crap. It's not an accident that we haven't been able to run since Morse left. He's below average.
He's also a free agent, and not worth paying big bucks too. [Reply]

While I don't think he's crap, I don't think he's top shelf either and reports are that he could get over $10M AAV in the free agent market. If that's the case, I don't want him back. That's too much money. [Reply]
