Great signing of a great player; a difference maker if you will. (McK, not CEH)

First RB in NFL HISTORY to have receiving TDs in 6 straight games.

I'd like to trade him since we'd have to eat a little over $2.5M in dead cap. Surely there's a team out there that would give us a 5-7th for him.

Most of us felt that way about Frank Clark too.

Who is this CEH you speak of?

At least Frank Clark has had special moments. :-)

The DeBerg reverse mojo strikes again.

Jet won AFC Offensive Player of the Month. Good for him!

I see a lot of fans screaming we must pay the guy, but I highly doubt it happens. I don't know when people are going to figure out you can plug basically any RB into this system (who isn't a short slow weak midget) and get production. There are going to be guys like him and JJSS every offseason who want to come here and earn a payday.

I'd like to keep him, but if he's looking for anything more than a modest 2 year deal, he's prbably going to have to go elsewhere, especially at his age.

I think the Chiefs and McKinnon will figure out a way to stick around. It doesn't get any better for him elsewhere.

Agreed. KC seems like the best place for him and with Andy/Mahomes, he is going to get a lot of touches.

There’s a like $3N vet exception where it only counts like half toward the cap.

Jet seems like a likely candidate.

I think that's what Wylie's playing on this year. Definitely would rather give it to McKinnon than him.

Wouldn't think there are going to be teams lining up for him but you never know these days. Hope they can work something out, the 1-2 punch of Pac and Mac is really humming.

Yeah, Mck ain't going anywhere. It's the perfect fit, and with not being relied on to the bellcow back, you can limit the abuse and keep him healthier. At 31, he surely knows this. You can totally get a couple of years out of him yet with a managed load.

Love McKinnon. Actually think he’s better than Damien Wiliiams. But he is getting older.

I think we should try to find a RB on day 3 of the draft that is like him due to his injury history.
