They still have stuff they can do with that money that doesn’t involve a huge trade.

So you don’t put much stock in what Terez said?

They can have Erving and a 3rd.

In a season in which they are a Super Bowl favorite?

Does that really seem likely to you, or are you just doubling down?

They don’t play Fuller outside though. He’s strictly a slot in this scheme so far.

Spoken like a Chiefs fan with long term PTSD. :D


I love the idea as well, and I'll believe it when I see it. But, Veach is proving himself not to be a run of the mill GM and not afraid to trade high picks for quality players, so there's hope. Maybe the thought of Mo Claiborne coming back in a few weeks keeps this deal from happening, but we'll see.

After last year? Nope. Done with trade rumors and sensationalist crap. The team they have now is actually good enough to win once Claiborne comes back. If they add someone great but I’m not going to believe they WILL until they actually DO.

Throw in Ragland, too

They were a Super Bowl contender last year and did nothing.

I think that's due to him previously being so good there, better than anyone else they have to man that spot.

If that changes, then you can flex guys in or out.

Again, I just think back to the emphasis on scheme flexibility all offseason. It's why they went and got Honey Badger. It's why they drafted Thornhill. It's what they've said over and over about the front four and the LB corps.

They tried. They were working on a deal for Earl Thomas, remember? Rumors abounded that they were trying to get Peterson.

It takes both sides to get a deal done, but efforts were being made.

The Chiefs, and every competitive team after Week 1, would be stupid not to kick the tires on trading for Fitzpatrick. Since he plays for Miami, I have watched roughly -0.32 seconds of game play of him but I understand that the Dolphins want multiple early round picks for him and if that is the price then I'd probably say no thanks

And that’s precisely why I’m not getting my hopes up nor reading into why they redid those contracts. I’m sure they WANT to do something, I’m just not going to hold my breath that they will.

Look, I know I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy, but I think this is a move you make if you can. Regardless of whether you think Minkah fills your biggest hole, he's a legit first round talent in his second season; one in which you're likely to be drafting in the 30's. You're not going to get a player like that in our draft slot. You just aren't. You make the deal if you can, and you keep looking for ways to improve your club.

but if they suddenly had a capable slot, and fuller is better on the boundry than ward do you not do it?
