Chiefs Veach's '21 Offseason Plan to Keep Us Thriving: Let's speculate - Page 112

For example.

Brown
Okung
Clowney
Reed
Samuels
Dunbar

Those are guys who shouldn't break the bank and are veteran guys who could all contribute from day one. You could chop and change names of course but wouldn't that help us more than signing JJ Watt and Allen Robinson to big deals? That's what I'm pondering over right now

If Brown is cheap, sure. Clowney and Samuels, at least, won't be cheap, so not sure why they're on the list.

I think that would make the DL pretty interesting.

Okwara or Lawson are good with me.

Yep, might not be a bad idea...

I’d be down for this too if he took a fair deal. Only 30 and still playing well

The perfect fit for free agent CB Patrick Peterson? @PSchrags says he should consider a reunion with his old LSU and Cardinals teammate, @Mathieu_Era and join the @Chiefs.

Clowney should be super cheap

Sneed
Ward
Fenton
Baker
Keyes

I’m not sure spending $ on another corner would be wise.

He's going to hold out for his. There's definitely going to be better options, especially if you want a pass rush.

He held out last year and got a lower dollar type deal.

He had zero sacks last year and went on IR in November with a torn meniscus.

It’s a big time edge rusher FA.

He’s not going to get another big payday until he shows the ability to warrant a big deal.

Nnadi is clearly the best of the bunch but not exactly a world beater. Danna and Wharton were two bright spots of 2020, thankfully Veach was able to scout them where he did.

We need that presence opposite Clark, just skeptical of actually finding one that isn’t a bonafide sure fire prospect.

How the fuck does KPass even count?

Dorsey and Sutton have nothing to do with Veach and Spags.

Saunders had an injury and got lost in the rotation because Wharton was a stud UDFA. How exactly is that a knock on Veach and the defensive staff?

Nnadi is a run stuffing NT. He’s great for what he’s asked to do.

Danna was an excellent late round find.

Let’s not forget how good they’ve been at finding guys in the bargain bin like Ogbah and Taco.

You’re “a little skeptical of their evaluation there” because you’re an idiot that doesn’t have a clue.

I’d keep my eye out for Melvin Ingram and Ryan Kerrigan. Both these guys heading into camp at 32. They aren’t getting huge deals anymore.

Both would be great gets IMO and wouldn’t cost a ton

The whole Speaks situation is crazy. Even out of position and overweight, he flashed some ability as a rookie and dropped weight and looked fit before getting cut and then nobody even gave him a shot in another system.

Did I miss something there? Did he have something off the field happen?

It’s odd that nobody picked him up.

He signed for 1 year and $13M. That's not "lower dollar".

OPL help big time.

And his value took a huge nosedive since then...

I'd stick with Breeland assuming the price is the same.

He's a known in this defense.
