Chiefs Give Erving Extension

To the half-inflated flotation device!

LMAO

They like his upside!

I'd rather they give Julius Erving an extension.

Veach, you ****ing moron.

Lol

Lol

6yr 32mil was what someone told me.

If that’s true, I’m gonna shoot my dick clean off.

To someone who just lost his starting job

Just a logical guess here but its to reduce his $1.7MM cap hit (with no cap relief for cutting him) this season which makes you wonder who they may be getting ready to sign.

Good first post after waiting 4 and a half years.

I highly doubt it’s worth much of anything. He’s the swing tackle, that’s it.

Good god

Earl? :hmmm:

I know it sounds outlandish but this team should be going for it these next couple of years big time..

I wonder if it’s so that he’s easily more releaseable later in the season. He’s fully guaranteed righty now.

****.

Or ****ing not.

Holy ****. Erving ****ing sucks.

Officially beats out the Peters trade as Veach’s worst move as a GM.

This takes Veach down a whole bunch of levels. How the **** could you sit there as an evaluator of professional football players and give this sack of shit that kind of contract.

What the ****? Really?

wtffffffffff

For some reason they are in love with this guy...I dunno why.

This is a joke right? Like, Veach isn't this ****ing reeruned?

Somebody post the gif from the first preseason game of Cam and Fisher letting their guys destroy Mahomes.

I'm so irrationally angry about this. I just...I can't today. **** this team.

[edited because I suck at math]

Most good offensive linemen are over 90% on pressures. Cam Irving is at 87% this preseason. What is Veach thinking?

HOO BOY

The ****?

Is Brett Veach Direckshun?

Well





****

Not sure why the Chiefs seem to love overpaying shitty swing tackles. They did the same thing with Jah Reid for a few years. Makes no sense to me.

Remember we all agreed on the phrase Son of a Veach.

Please use it appropriately.

It's amazing how in four weeks I've gone from "Trust in Veach best young GM in the league" to "The Chiefs are run by a spider monkey on bath salts" but here we are.

What in the everliving ****.

What. The. ****.

Sorry wouldn't that mean Erving is at 87%? 46/53 snaps he did not allow pressure, or am I reading this wrong?

Either way I hate the move also.

Should have kept Zach Fulton

ROFL

****ing Dorsey strikes again.

I guess I figured it backward. It was 13%, but I need to subtract the 13% from 100 to get the proper pressure %. Sorry, I'm dumb. Thanks for the fix.

God damn ****ing idiot. I mean let's not ****ing sign Breeland, but ****ing give some shit hole lineman an extension. Also Brad Fanning is a ****ing idiot.

Not sure how people can melt down over this. Backup lineman on deal that could be heavily incentive laden. Cap move and probably some hope that he develops. Not seeing the big problem.

Yes...someone needs a basic math refresher coarse...ha.

Per Terez it sounds like the deal is incentive based on how much he plays.

He. Is. ****ing. Terrible. 2 teams have tried him at virtually every spot on the OL and he's failed literally every time.

The offensive line is so bad Mahomes is going to last a couple weeks get hurt, come back get hurt again out for the year rehab next year look good all through preseason get hurt ups and downs through another rehab then come back and be shitty then get released then in 2021 the chiefs will be looking for a new qb.

6.5 million guaranteed is more than enough to make me want to puke. He isn't worth 1/6th of that.

Yep, keep Fulton at center and slide Morse over to LG. Such an improvement at LG would make Fisher's play much better as well.

Morse isn't playing guard. Can we move on from that ****ing idea?

My only guess is that they like the fact they can plug him anywhere on the line if a starter goes down (flexibility allows the extra roster spots for other positions) and they like how he’s progressing.

Other than that his tape has been ass and he doesn’t deserve near that type of money. Hopefully Veach knows what he’s doing here.

It's been a long time since i've done any math. ROFL

Because we are the Chiefs

wtf????

Sure but the question is can he play all three of those well. And the answer to that is no.

How the **** does a guy get an extension after he gets benched?

LMAO

I mean, I get that he can passably play 3 spots. But if that's the case, why the hell do we need all the other 5 backup lineman?

weird.

I must be versatile as **** then, because I can do a lot of things at a bottom of the barrel level.

Well, if he could play one that well, he wouldn't be a backup or swing player.

So he’s making a little over $3 million average unless he is forced to play? And people wanted to keep Fulton?

This deal is HALF of what Fulton just got. Paying a guy $3 million per year isn’t that much. It’s less than 2% of the salary cap.

I bet he could play male cheerleader as well. That doesn't mean we should make him the highest paid male cheerleader in the league...

My plan is better than what the Chiefs just did.

Ok.

It still stands that Morse won't ever play G.

You are still playing a guy that sucks.

The Chiefs tend to place to much value in versatility, that's how Sorenson got paid too..

I get a OL that can play 3 spots is helpful when you can only dress so many guys but geez.

This is the truth, he's alright at tackle like good enough to fill in for a game or 2, but on the interior he just isn't strong enough.

Congratulations, you're right.

You're right and we suck.

And we thought the Raiders screwed up? What the hell is this shit?

Yeah, looking around the league at the OL problem, if someone gets hurt you're usually playing something that's awful. Atleast Erving isn't awful?

I dunno. I'm pretty much punting on this.

Lol. Fulton can actually play football at a competent level. Erving just got benched.

It makes absolutely no sense. He's already signed, so he will be able to back up this year. Then we could use a pick to draft someone that'll be just as good and probably better than him and not waste the money on his worthless ass

Then don’t brag about his versatility if that’s the case because dude sucks at OG and OC. Come out and say....he’s our swing tackle. Dude just got beat out at the LG spot and gets an extension.

Did we cut Tyreek to come up with the money ?

My only hope is that it will be easy to release him next offseason.

I think Veach had a seizure and pressed a wrong button. They shouldn't put the cut and extension buttons so close to each other

They're telling you they don't want to have to deal with signing him in the offseason, there's a good chance Morse is out after this year..and with the defensive issues the last thing they want is having to fill 3 OL spots in one year if Morse and Erving both left and LG was still a problem.

This is totally about hedging the bets on "vet versatile backup is worth the money now than overpaying in FA or using a draft pick when we'd rather not"

Andy probably really likes his work ethic.

I think it's pretty obvious Andy is calling most the shots here.

chiefs have such a fascination for this guy cause he's versatile, but being diversely shit at 5 different spots isnt a plus.

i get it that it's not a high $ deal as a backup but if he does play and get paid to suck? this is dumb.

He's not even playing LG now though.
