Veach just proved, again, how valuable those draft picks are to the Chiefs remaining competitive when we are paying 1/2 billion to our QB. Who is worth every penny but other players myst be let go to retain money/draft picks in the pipeline.

There are only 8 players left on the team that won the SB. This will happen throughout Mahomes career. Brady won SB's with JAG WR's, good OL and defense.

I'm actually not opposed to not paying him. If they think there's another option that they could work towards, go for it.

But I also wouldn't be opposed to paying him. LT is just a spot where I don't think you can take many unknown risks.

Oh, I completely agree here. If he's adamant out being the highest paid left tackle in the league... But I'm okay with giving him a Top 3 deal, because he's shown improvement last year and he's doing what it takes this offseason to get better. But that's just my opinion.

I also get the economics of the situation, so I'm not going to be all that bent out of shape if he does become the highest played LT, until the next LT in line signs a big deal.

So lets hear of your vision of what that "other" option is? How did we get that other option? What did it cost?
[Reply]

I have no idea. I'd guess maybe the draft next year, next years free agency a trade etc.
[Reply]

I know you didn't ask me. And I know I will get hammered for stating my opinion again. But here it goes, anyway.

Move Thuney out to LT.
Put Allegretti in at LG.

Use the now 30 million in cap space (currently at 14 million + the 16 alloted to OBJ) and the draft pick or two from moving OBJ to get the D linemen to finish overhaul of the defense.

(If by chance OBJ does not get a new contract and elects not to play on the tag, I hope this is the route we go as well. Watch the regular season game vs the Bengals before just spouting off that you don't move an All-Pro. You asked for an option. I gave you one.)

Ok, well that's not really an acceptable answer.
[Reply]

No. That's a a terrible plan.
[Reply]

It's really not a terrible plan. It's just one that you don't agree with. That doesn't make it terrible.
[Reply]

Dude thats a horrible plan. Take your All-Star, maybe the best in the game at this position to a new position? Allgrettt has been inconsistent. Both of these could **** us big time. Get Mahomes hit more. And who are the backups if they are out for a couple of weeks? Even worse players playing out of position. We need consistent protection of our football savior.
Just my opinion
[Reply]

Let's make 2 positions weaker? No, that's a terrible plan.
[Reply]

Thuney would end up having alot of the same issues everyone bitches at OBJ about becasue of his short arms and stature.
[Reply]

At this point, it's OBJ or bust this year. If you don't wanna pay him, keep him on the tag, hope he shows, tag and trade him next year and then look at the draft.
[Reply]

Take an all pro G, who's played his entire career at G and been an emergency T and move him to LT.

It's terrible and has a less than zero chance of happening.
[Reply]

Plan B, if Brown sits out, is Christian. Thuney is not an NFL LT. He's not.


Now, if you're okay with Christian manning LT, that's an opinion, just one I strongly disagree with. Thuney is a bad fit for the position and moving him weakens 2 spots.

Agreed. It's a terrible idea.
