Goddammit DJ, we've talked about this! Your insistence on stating facts backed up by data is getting a little old. If it FEELS like 2-3 penalties a game it's obviously 2-3 penalties a game.

Charvarious Ward was okay, but he's not in the same league as Sneed. Sneed is the 2nd best corner this team has had in a long long time.

I love Sneed and I think part of the gameplan is for him to beat the shit out of these elite WR's. However I think age, concussions and the entire off season long knee injury have to be accounted for. Veach has been frugal.

Trying to think of the last time the Chiefs had a LB who could cover the middle of the field as well as Tranquill? DJ is the only one in recent memory.

This is where I am, too. I had Sneed in the 'as good as gone after this season' category, especially based on how many CBs Veach has brought in during the last year-and-a-half. But after watching him play this season, I'm not sure he's a guy you can let get away. Lockdown CBs aren't falling out of trees, and we've got two of them. But he's going to be really expensive.

In terms of LBs, can't imagine that, financially, we bring back both Tranquil and Gay next year. Losing either one of them will be a blow, both of them are very solid players.

I don't envy Veach and the decisions he's going to have to make this offseason. But that's obviously a great problem to have.

Sneed has been jamming the **** out everyone this season. He's so damn physical he looks like a 16 year old playing with a bunch of 12 year olds. He ate Justin Jefferson's lunch and I'm not sure JJ ever knew what hit him. It's been extremely impressive.

Donnie Edwards

****. No.

**** no.

****ing **** **** **** **** **** no.

****.

No.

Please keep this man Veach.

Tranquill has been outstanding all season. Bert should give him a two year extension.

Tranquill signing was an A+ in my estimation. Well done FO!

Yeah, he's a keeper at the right price.

Can't even imagine where we'd be without him.

Great signing. Dudes a solid LB and an absolute great backup

He's been the secret ingredient during Boltons absence, and gets some well deserved love here for it

31 other teams wish they signed this same contract

Let Gay go and pay Tranquill this off-season. No brainer.

Missed him badly on Sunday

Indeed.

Cook chewed our asses up in space in the first half. Tranquill would've made a big difference.

Cochrane is basically Ben Neimann reincarnated.

It’s imperative that we keep him off the field in the postseason.

Yep, need them for Special teams, and he's good there, but shouldn't be getting much playing time. Folks on here torched Niemann, but he should have never been put in the position of having significant playing time. Man, have we upgraded the LB group.

Way too early to make that comparison.

All teams have guys like Jack Cochrane, a UDFA that plays specials, he's not suppose to play defense.

He looked like Neimann's clone out there.

But see, I don't want him out there in an attempt to prove that statement wrong, because it gives him more opportunity to prove it right.

It’s too bad we’ve become his old team. Have the Talent but keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

What? Did I miss something here?

He’s calling us the Chargers. How rude!

The Chargers have always had very talented WRs. Usually more than one

Are you implying something about our WRs?

They are not Chargers material

This is awesome

Dude has been a complete stud.

Thought Tranquil was nails in the AFC Championship game. Was very underwhelmed by Bolton sadly. Hopefully he picks it up in the Super Bowl. This breakdown of Tranquil's performance is great and worth a watch:

There's something odd to me about Andy Reid using winky faces in his texts. ROFL

Bolton is playing with 1 hand.

I'm not sure we have had a better FA signing in Chiefs history besides Priest Holmes. This guy has been incredible all year.

If Lamar throws a TD pass to himself that's an entirely different game

Thank you Drue Tranquill

You have to wonder wtf the Chargers were doing letting this guy walk out the door to their in division SB champ rivals.

This dude was born to be a Chief.

No way he goes anywhere this offseason.

Makes a lot of sense as a replacement Will with Leo playing as Sam.

Gay plays more closely as a Sam because of his strength at the point of attack but we use him on the weak side a ton.

But he's not a young player anymore either. He'll be 29 next season so you're really looking at maybe a 2 year deal before looking to move on. And as a slightly undersized player, he'll take a fair bit of abuse as a starter over more snaps.

I'd prefer keep him in his present role to keep him healthy and effective. But if we had to start him, that works.

Ended ugly, but Honey Badger was incredible for a bit there

Willie Roaf was a really good one too.
He was a free agent signing wasn’t he?

I think you're right. He was great.

His attitude helped pretty damn well.

Nah, linebackers are now way more productive for longer because it's not a run first league anymore. There's lots of guys like Bobby Wagner still playing at a high level at 33+. This isn't the 80's NFL anymore.

And he was annoyingly good this season for NOLA.

**** him and his entire season of business decisions, man. What looked like a guy who was at the end of the road was really just a guy who was playing tentatively because he wanted to re-set the safety market in order to extend and we wouldn't oblige him.

I'd be less irritated by him if he had just sucked this season.

I love Tranquil but he aint Bobby Wagner. Wagner is an outlier not a rule, he's always been fantastic.

This is exactly why we should have no trouble keeping him. I'm betting he signs a 2-year/$9 million type deal. Nobody else is going to offer him much more than that he's damn sure worth that kind of cost for this team. He fits so perfectly.

Reid > Mathieu


I saw Tranquill doing a commercial today pushing a product he was wearing around his neck.

LOVE him but someone is paying him good long-term starter money. We can't sign everyone.

It's gonna be Bolton, Chenal and the draft at LB I imagine.

I guess I should've read the last few replies before mine. Maybe I'm off and he doesn't get paid. Would love him back on any kinda reasonable deal.

Yeah, I think that's probably right.

Off-ball 'backers are pretty fungible but for the right team at the right time they can be really valuable. Most teams aren't gonna pay a lot to bring one of those guys in, especially as they near their 30s.

Thank you Druuuuu!

I love Reid, Mathieu was All Pro twice with us.

I can remember Mathieu lay the wood once in his tenure here. He was a great coach on the field and he snatched a few INTs but besides that I think he was overrated. I appreciate his contributions but to me Reid plays a better brand of ball.

That twat was good this year?

Wasn't he fire roasted ass his first year down there and the idiot Saints fans were pissed at him?

Dude, Demario Davis is 35 and just notched 121 tackles.

He's not an outlier.

As I said, he's 29. He still has at least 4 solid seasons in him

Some audio issues but not too bad...

He, along with Clark were instrumental in changing the culture of this defense after the 2018 embarrassment. Hard to quantify that value. Doesn’t mean either should still be on this roster, but I am thankful for that contribution.

Totally agree.
