Why Shane Rey I feel he has been a major disappointment in Denver.

I'd rather have Mathieu than Thomas, even with Thomas being a better player. Age and everything just isn't worth it.

I'd attack the secondary in the draft

Because he would probably come to KC on a very cheap contract and still has a high upside.

Buy low and how it goes better than the contract

I agree and I hate mathieu

If we could come out of FA with Honey Badger/Earl Thomas along with Ronald Darby, we could really attack the draft. Especially if Berry returns to form.

Which I’m told he will be damn close to it. Supposedly he hasn’t lost any speed and still runs the same speed on the treadmill as before the Achilles injury.

I mean, I'd take Earl, but his age is just meh.

A guy like Ray would be a decent buy low option. That's where you need to start hitting some big hits.

I don't really get the Darby love. He's always been just a guy to me.

I'd draft a couple corners early and keep that money in house.

In the 2019 group I'd probably keep Nelson because there isn't much CB talent out there, Sherman for reasonable bucks, Bailey for the same cash, and franchise Ford. The rest can walk, we have their replacements.
The 2020 group is a little tougher. Hill and Jones are keepers. Williams and Fuller for the right money. I'd stick with DRob, but Ragland and Murray can go.

Signing big names in FA is fun and all but I’m telling you, I wouldn’t expect it. Veach knows that the big money needs to be given to guys already on the roster.

Even Dee Ford has to be franchised at this point over signing any FA like Thomas or Darby.

We have 48m in cap space and a team that players will want to come to for lots of reasons.

We can keep all of those guys and still have 15m in cap space to go get a couple guys that can help us get over the hump while Pats still on his rookie deal.

Dude. Look at next years roster.

If we don’t retain Nelson, we have Fuller and nobody else. I’m not a fan of going into next year with 2-3 rookie corners playing significant time.

Are you?

Nah I am always leary guys that underperform knowing a payday is on the horizon.

He's behind the eight ball there though

Yep... I think you're looking somewhere in the 4/60-5/75 range for a Jones extension, a 5/90 with Hill, and 5/85 with Ford.

Personally, I'd extend Jones and Hill this offseason to put some of the bonus money onto their rookie deals and lower the caps a tad in the extension years. I'd franchise Ford and try to trade him, and if that doesn't work out then let him walk after 2019. I'd sign Ford if it weren't for Houston's huge contract at the same position but I don't think a team can eat two of them simultaneously with all the other contracts coming due.
