Houston only cares about the highest game check.

He’s not coming here.

After a busy Thursday - signing its six drafted rookies, eight undrafted free agent rookies and trading for Mike Hughes - we now estimate the #Chiefs' salary cap space to be $8.1 million.https://t.co/H80gt3AHkT

Honey Badger extension will get some more cap too! I’d try and re sign Breeland or a DE
[Reply]

How do you know he only cares about that and how do you know we won't offer that?
[Reply]

Both.
[Reply]

Because he has common sense. You should try it sometimes. Will change your life!

Keep fucking doubting Malik Herring.

The Chiefs have Frank Clark, Michael Danna, Taco Charlton, Joshua Kaindoh, Tim Ward, Demone Harris, and Austin Edwards as our DEs. We also have Georgia/UDFA Malik Herring who is recovering from an injury.

One of the best ways to help the secondary, is to have a good pass rush and I don't believe we have the players currently to do that.

There are several free agents or potential free agents that might be able to help.

Maybe one of these two might be our 5th DE -

Tim Ward – Old Dominion/Chiefs, Age 23, HT 6-6, WT 255, Arms 34 ½”
2020 stats – 1 game, 5 tackles, 1 sack||2019 – 0 games

Kamalei Correa – Boise St/Ravens/Titans/Jaguars/Chiefs, Age 27, HT 6-3, WT 250, 31 ½”
2020 stats – 9 games, 9 tackles, 1 PD||2019 – 16 games, 37 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 PD

But that's still not very good and it certainly won't scare an offense.
[Reply]

Everybody keeps saying this. Pass rush isn’t exclusive to edge rushers.

We now have the best interior pass rush duo in the league. Who else has 2 interior guys capable of double digit sacks?

Yes, we should absolutely sign somebody like Ingram or Houston, but this idea that our pass rush hasn’t been addressed at all is silly.

You’d be hard pressed to find many teams with a trio as good as Clark, Jones, and Reed.
[Reply]

There is another free agent, but he's a OLB not a DE and he is 32 just like many of the free agents above.

He also wants to get paid. He has refused to sign so far with Seattle because he has said he won't sign for a hometown discount.

I'd like to see this signing as a OLB/DE. I think he could be a difference maker for KC.

K.J. Wright – Mississippi St/Seahawks, Age 32, HT 6-4, WT 246, Arms 35”
2020 stats – 16 games, 86 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 PD, 1 FF, 1 INT||2019 – 16 games, 132 tackles, 11 PD

I think Wharton gets 6+ sacks this year. Wouldn’t shock me if we see Clark-Wharton-Reed-Jones on passing downs frequently.
[Reply]

I like our interior defensive line and I agree that they will be good at providing a push on the QB.
