Let's recap...

Veach either 1- Ate up most of the Chiefs' cap space (roughly around 26 m) with two signings (reported 25 m AAV) or 2- pushed a huge amount of money to the next two years for two guys, and is still likely paying 2/3 AAV this year (roughly 17 m). With such a huge chunk going to a WR and alot of worries still on D that you can't necessarily rely on 3rd round picks to fix, there is some room for concern.

#Marcus Peters #Aqib Talib

Because it’s dumb to pay a guy that much who hasn’t done much.

#slapshismomma, #shootsselfinass

Lol the team isn't done yet. They are hot after some really good olayers, so they obviously have room.

Do we have any money left now?

Yet the cap will go up again next year, the Chiefs also have several more guys who will either be cut this year or next year..

The money is there.

You always have to wait until the full details of the contracts come out before you get too happy or too upset about the "reported" money.

4 months ago people were complaining about Dorsey's cap managment screwing KC. Lo and behold you cut/release/trade a handful of over the hill veterans and wallah - money to compete with high priced FA's.

Talent. Elite young talent. Speed. Watch the vids of Goff missing 6 to 8 easy TDs and you see why he wanted him for Mahomes.

If Veach can get a quality CB, another OLB, a LG, and some DL talent either with the draft or remaining FAs, I may nominate him for Exec of the Week, sponsored by Hy-Vee. Until then, I'm concerned we may have the 99 Rams O, but the 03 Chefs D. It doesn't matter if you put up 70 points if the other team puts up 71.

Maybe for one more good player and some scrubs.

YOUNG, very talented FAs

LMAO

“A big reason Watkins chose the Chiefs was Mahomes, folks. Zero doubt about his ability to throw the long ball and he knows he'll see a lots of single coverage bc of Tyreek” - @TerezPaylor

Watkins is getting paid on his potential.

He was in BUFFALO. That doesnt even count. Reggio Ragland couldn't tie his shoes correctly in Buffalo.

That Twitter thread where the dude broke down Watkins' routes and Goff damn near always missing him...Watkins' would've been a 1kyd WR last year, if his QB had been more Mahomes like.

Just to make me feel better, I'm going to say that we just traded Marcus Peters and a 6th to the Rams for a 2018 4th, a 2019 2nd, and Sammy Watkins (who we just signed to an extension) :D

BOB SUTTON WILL ADJUST TO THIS NEW ROSTER AND DOMINATE THE NFL.

:D

Maybe Trumaine too ;)

The OLB isn't happening...and some of that shit will happen in the draft.

Yup. DL and corner is where all the smoke is right now.

I hope you are right P. It will make me very happy.

2003 Chiefs

It's also the right thing to do, if you want your QB to develop you give him guys to work with.

Trent Green would have killed someone to have a WR corp half as good as these guys.

Or a defense like it too... this defense needs work but it has FAR more than that team had.

In my lifetime this is now the most talent I've ever seen on a KC offense.

TWO big play WR's, big play TE, a top 5 HB, and most importantly a ****ing cannon at the QB position...

FYP :)

Sutton be like WTF?

Obviously Watkins is a move intended to boost stagnant season ticket sales. It will be short lived when the defense gets walked on up and down the field.

Andy only needs one play call now

<a href="https://imgflip.com/gif/26afrn"><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/26afrn.gif" title="made at imgflip.com"/></a>

Um the defense isn't THAT bad, the Chiefs win 12 games and a playoff game had Alex Smith not shit his pants in crunch time repeatedly.

Imagine how deadly Hunt will be with these weapons.

Teams will beg Hunt to run the ball next year...

Watkins is here to shore up the run D. lol

Sutton isn't changing shit, and Andy isn't going to cap his pawpaw. So, you just score enough on offense to keep the other team from running the ball.

Which teams that consistently win anything today do it with shutdown D and a mediocre O?

Todays league is really the opposite of that.

Wow

I can't find anything on Google about Peters slapping his mother...where are you guys getting this??

Good signing... he’s a solid addition.

Swooning......

don't get too literal Chiefy

Teicher gave the signing a C+. If that's not enough to get you excited about Sammy Watkins, then consider that maybe we can do without a punter this season.

A couple of guys with different connections with the Chiefs say thats the story from the Chiefs. Happened outside the locker room during the Jets game after he walked off the field.

Tyreek seems happy: https://twitter.com/cheetah/status/9...824780800?s=12

“Welcome to the kingdom @sammywatkins !!! Let’s take over” - @cheetah

LOL WTF?

He'd have given it an A if we had signed Norwell to a 70 million dollar deal.

More like holy shit

His numbers are similar to Wison's :D

Did a WR just choose the Chiefs because of their QB? When was the last time that happened?

Lol Watkins chose KC purely because of the money. You're not going to convince me that he chose them because of Mahomes at all.

I don’t think anyone is losing sleep that they are unable to convince user Buckweath on a free forum site about Watkin’s actual intentions.

They aren’t mutually exclusive. Three years of catching deep passes would seemingly help his next contract at age 27 be another big payday.

This team is WAY better with their $16 million spent on Sammy Watkins.

WR's want to play with great QB's.

Players want two things: 1) to win and 2) $$$. Not necessarily in that order.

KC clearly plans to air it out this year. Big production usually means big $$$...

WOOT! Watkins on one side. Hill on the other. Both going deep. Kelce with the underneath routes. Hill out of the backfield. A young QB who can deliver the deep ball. This is going to be really fun to watch.

Now, we need to spend the next two years free agent money and draft picks getting a defense to match our offense.

Chief fans, we may actually have a chance to see a Super Bowl win on our lifetimes.

Veach is KILLING it this offseason.

He transformed a salary cap mess from John Dorsey into nearly $30 million in salary cap space... got a talented young CB + draft picks back for Alex Smith and now is aggressively landing free agents (something the Chiefs NEVER could do under Dictator Carl/Fat Scott/Dorsey).

I don't blame Veach for the Marcus Peters situation (I think he did the best he could with a situation that was beyond his control, a situation I still believe was dictated partially by Clark Hunt), but as of now (and obviously we'll see what happens in the draft) Veach has put together an offseason masterpiece thus far.

Air raid mitches!!!

He's 24 and accepted a 3-year deal. That's enough money to make you happy, but also a short enough deal to motivate him to play for the next contract. Qb definitely matters.

The Chiefs are FINALLY investing in the QB position (i.e. drafting a franchise-caliber QB last year) and in the WR position.

It is long overdue.

The days of building the offense around a franchise RB, rather than a franchise QB/WR's is over.

Praise Jesus.

Whoa big fella let up off the gas a bit.

does it really matter in the end? both sides got what they wanted.

I see your vagina has healed up.

Don't forget the nfl rushing leader who can finally run against 7 in a box, and is yet another underneath option.

No one is going to stop this offense.

I see your still a dumbshit.

Mahomes is going over 4000 yards and 30 TDs.

The good news is we have two of those (franchise HB's) as well...:)

The only thing that will hold back this offense's potential with Mahomes is Andy Reid's playcalling.

*you’re

Charley Casserly was just raving about how many issues the Chiefs offense presents on NFLN

Whats wrong with "have a chance" at a SB?

@TerezPaylor Hearing from multiple folks around the league who are intrigued by what the Chiefs are building on offense with Pat, Kareem, Kelce, Ty and Sammy. "So nasty," one person said.

Good luck with that.

"Swing away Pat. Swing away..."

As he should. on paper, it should be the best offense in the NFL.

I'm really not worried about cap. Despite concerns about our cap, we have plenty of cap flexibility. And veach can fix the defense by loading up on draft picks and second/third wave free agents. We don't have to dominate on D with the offense we have.

And we don't have to fix our D overnight. I want to be real excited about this teams potential, but let's be realistic. This is mahomes' first season and he's going to make mistakes.

Same old mecca.


maclin ring a bell?

It's not debatable. Nobody, not even the fans on this site that don't like this signing, would argue it.

This offense will have no limitations, no achilles heel.

Teams want to stack 8 in the box to stop Hunt? Watch Mahomes rip you apart downfield.

Teams want to double team Kelce? No problem, watch Hill/Watkins shred your single coverage downfield.

Having a QB who will both look to go downfield and be able to convert on downfield passing opportunities consistently and having multiple WR threats downfield will be epic.

Free at last from the Alex Smith Iron Curtain of Bubble Screens.

They have like $17 million in dead space coming off the books next year after all the cuts they've made this season. They can structure around that and still have room to sign more guys this year like Fuller.

We may not need OLB all that much.

Ya'll wanted to see Houston rush the passer. Score a billion points and let Houston pin his ears back because every down will be a passing down it sounds like

I’m telling y’all. Hitchens and Watkins’ 2017 cap numbers will probably combine for no more than $13M.

Ca$$hole could throw for 3k and 20 TD's with that talent...

Truth. Like the Colts prime offense days with Freeney and Mathis.
