Chiefs sign OG Kelechi Osemele to 1 year deal.

Damn. Nice move.

The last former Raiders guard we acquired worked out pretty damn nicely.

He's huge. I think he's the biggest guy on the roster.

Good deal.

I hope he works out.

Is he still any good?

"Hello Patrick, will you teach me to football?"

In Veach we trust.

He's not any taller(6'5") than our other offensive lineman. He's a bit heavier at 330lb.

He's got 20lbs on most of our guys. I bet Andy runs 10lbs off of him almost immediately.

Lots of haters on Twatter calling him a dumpster fire and a fatass for losing his job to a 6th round pick.

I hope we got this guy cheap.

I’m not sure how good he still is. He had a major injury on his shoulder.

Speaking of Gase and the tire fire that is the Jets..

They released him after this. Hope he wins every grievance against those ****s

Reminds me of getting Cam Erving from a value standpoint.

Osemele had a couple good years, got hurt and was on bad teams after that and his play fell off.

Hopefully Heck can get the best out of him and he rejuvenates his career.

That's what I meant by 'big.' He's more massive than anyone else on the team; he weighs more. 330? I thought I read 339? Not that it matters either way, the guy "weighs a lot."

PFF Grades

Osemele- 56
LDT- 59

That's interesting.

What's even more interesting is Osemele was a first team All-Pro in 2016. That's mind blowing.

First team all pro in 2016. Pro bowl 16 and 17.

The upside is there. Just turned 31, though...

I am sure he is anxious to prove the Jets wrong for how they treated him.

I hope he plays with a chip on his shoulder.

SING HIM CAROL!!!

Let's see if he can pass a physical before slotting him as a starter on the offensive line.

Larry Warford still out there.

**** PFF

Dominant player when healthy but long in the tooth and subpar the last couple campaigns. If he can regain his form, lookout...

That's an eternity ago in the NFL

Yeah, he’s clearly a reserve guy even if he passes his physical...right?

I would hope so but with the way the Chiefs seem to go through guards each season, who knows...

On paper, Warford seems like the better move but I doubt he'd sign this early for Vet Min.

Classic Veach move.

Also, he’s a career LG.

This move sorta lets the cat out of the bag they were caught off guard with Tardiff's opt out. Hope this guy can step in and help for Pats sake.

This. Totally irrelevant site dunno why people still quote it.

I was worried more about his height and whether it would block the vision of Mahomes. At 6'5"/330lb he is the ideal size to handle big Dlineman in the interior.

He was drafted in the 2nd round so he should have decent skills.

I just hope he's in shape.

Long in the tooth, but the same age as everyone’s savior at guard, Stefen Wisniewski.

Lockroom of raw sewage means antibodies to defeat covid 19

Crazy thing is he was still getting paid 9 million last year. He was scheduled to make 11 million this year. Him and the Jets were getting in to it so they cut him in October.

Wisniewski wasn't considered a savior until he played well for us.

I don't understand the snark.

If this guy plays well for us then people will pour the love on him too.

Adding 339 pounds of beef to the line sounds like a good move.

And who says that Veech is not done?

PRINT EM

Absolutely

LMAOLMAOLMAO

This is a very underrated post.

He was a monster a few years ago. Maybe he still has something left

Amen.

If he won't play hard for Andy - he is done. Doubt he gets another chance to turn his career around.
But..
If he returns to Pro Bowl form- what a steal!

Eat a Snickers

Maybe they knew it was possible a week or so ago who knows. Could have had feelers out for a bit.

It’ll be Mike Remmers spot. This is purely a depth move.

PFF rules!!!!!!

They're smarter than you. Get over it.

:(

I was getting excited about this move until this post. Remmers is a turnstile. Thanks Debbie Downer.... :harumph:

LMAO Yeah, he was playing with an injury that required surgery. Wonder why he sucked so bad, PFF?

I think the restructure of LDTs deal was a sign they thought this was a realistic possibility.

So how much did LDT save us and what did this POS cost?

Reid loves guards with experience at T.

He’s not his old self but this is absolutely an upgrade IMO.

No. Osemele will start.

Eric Fisher is your AVY. Your opinion cannot be trusted.

LMAO

Remmers is garbage

Looks like a Veach move to me. Maybe we can fix him.

Hopefully, the Chiefs can squeeze at least 8 starts out of him but it probably all depends on how well his shoulder recovered from recent surgery.

I really thought the Chiefs would pursue him after LDT opted out.

Andy, Veach, and Chiefs doctors must have called BS on the 2 doctors who recommended shoulder surgery because IF that were fact no way would they sign him.

Because the alternative is believing what people on CP who haven't watched him in depth think?

Hey, on the bright side there's pretty much no chance that Cam Erving will be on the line this season . . .

:facepalm:

He had shoulder surgery for a torn labrum in October 2019

That tweet was from 2019.

Wasn’t a chance of that when he signed with the Cowboys

It's posts like this that make me understand why I would never pass you the pudding if we had dinner together. I still love you with all my heart, though.

Sincerely,
Your Baby Boo

He's been a malcontent but he's rested and hungry. Good move by Veach to bolster our depth.

It's-, oh never mind.

At least PFF base their stuff on evaluation of facts and not just what will get them clicks or attention on t.v.

They aren't perfect but are a valid tool.

LMAO

PFF hires people off the street to "grade" players, people with zero knowledge of football but most importantly, ZERO knowledge of the individual's assignments.

Their grades are completely and utterly worthless, much like your posts.

Osemele signed for only 2 million.

Word is Warford is looking for 7 million. That could have something to do with it.

Jets ****ed up his injury. I have no doubt he’s going to come in here and play like a pro bowler, because Jets. ;)

Snark? LOL!


Osemele isn’t long in the tooth. Either is Wis.

Really preferred Josh Kline, but I like the move. If he's healthy, he's damned good.

Osemele is a LG and Warford is a RG.

They see Niang as the long game starter at RG, I think. Osemele is a lottery ticket they hope will give us a dependable option at LG if nobody else (Rankin, Wylie) steps up and owns the position. I think they might see one of the younger guys we got in UDFA as the long term starter at one of the other interior line spots.

PFF is good at counting plays and easy crap. But you nailed it, they have no clue what a player's assignment is and are terrible at true evaluation

Well Dane 'George Costanza' McCloud it seems you would be a good candidate for employment at PFF doesn't it !!:LOL:

Needed to take action and they did in less than a day. Can’t ask for more.

Best case scenario is Rankin and Niang dominate and take the guard spots and he doesn’t have to play. Worst case is Remmers and Osemele are our best guards and to me that’s actually a slight upgrade from what we saw most of last year.

We really don’t have to obsess about guards anymore. That’s the nice thing. How many guys started there last year? Wylie, LDT, Erving and Rankin? It didn’t really matter because we have 15.

Is it though? Theres a handful of posters who's opinions I put any value and they are right way more than PFF and its bullshit grades.

I get your point BUT it does matter because you definitely need a nice secure garage that protects your Lamborghini at QB.;)

I'd agree Osemele is better on the left side, but he started at RT as a rookie for Baltimore so you know he can play that side of the line.

Yep for sure! And they’re counting on two guys stepping up out of about six candidates to make sure that happens. Based on the track record Reid and Veach have established I’m not overly concerned that they can’t hit on two decent guards. They’ve earned our trust and that’s just a nice feeling.

I get PFF for WR/QB/RB and to some extent DB. Catches, drops targets etc are fairly easy to quantify.

OL is a totally different animal. Scheme, QB, RB, OL cohesiveness etc all play a big role.
