I think they trust Williams, Watson I dunno though and if you do that both of them are on the field in Nickel downs which is going to weaken the coverage.

I think they very smartly and strategically mix Williams and Watson based on matchups and coverages, if you lose that one or both could get exposed to a degree.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach gives an update on Chris Jones and the negotiations.

Seems they may have had this figured out for a while?

[O.city]

#Chiefs GM Brett Veach spoke a bit about how his staff has scenario sheets they draw up for free agency. If they're unable to re-sign one of Chris Jones, L'Jarius Sneed, or both, they've got contingencies in place that they start to go through. That includes trades & the draft.

My gut right now says we sign Chris and trade LJ and sell it as doing him a favor and getting him max pay from someone else

Just like Dee Ford, but a better player

This would be ideal. Just feels like we should get something if we're going to lose one of these guys, and not a 3rd round comp pick at best.

What about swinging the below trade with the Eagles?

Philly: #32 + Sneed
KC: #22 + #53

We move up 10 spots in the first to get our BPA at OT or WR, and we get #53.

KC picks:
#22
#53
#64

EDIT: Shit, this would even position us to slide up further if there's a guy in the 12-16 range we covet.

Can you imagine what the draft forum would be like holding #22 for a few weeks BEFORE the draft?

The ability to move up even more would be huge.

With the way we draft and develops DBs, I just can’t see paying Sneed.

I was wondering about that very idea in the other Sneed thread and it felt like too big a haul.

Getting from 32 to 22 is essentially going to cost a late 2nd. So it would be like trading Sneed for a pair of 2nds. I don't think Philly would give up that much.

We're not getting the 3 peat without BOTH Jones and Snead. There's no one in the draft that will make an impact like those 2.

I'd trade either or for a pro bowl left tackle on a rookie contract at this point in their careers.

I've heard "We're not doing X" far too often over the last two seasons to think it will ever EVER apply.

We MIGHT not get the job done one of these years. In fact every season the odds favor that we won't. The field is a better bet every time.

But how can anyone watch what we've seen the last 2 seasons and say "eh, we're not going anywhere" on the basis of losing a single player not named Patrick Mahomes?

We don't NEED both of those guys to 3-peat. We didn't need Tyreek Hill to win in 2022. We didn't need DeAndre Hopkins to win in 2023. We won't need Chris Jones and La'Jarius Sneed in 2024.

“Chief for Life” only applies to Mahomes (for now at least, almost every great has a second team late in their career).

Everyone else can/will be replaced. Kelce being the only other exception. He seems to just be playing for the rings. He’d probably retire before playing elsewhere.

Ridiculous.
