This might be affordable AND impactful.

Sign Darnell Mooney, WR 12-14 Million

Sign Tony Pollard, RB 8 Million

Sign Noah Brown, WR 6 Million

Then use 1st round pick on a Adonai Mitchell and we have rebuilt the weapons while staying on a very affordable set of players as Rice and Mitchell would be the top 2 WR's and on rookie contracts.

I don't like Mooney, got to be honest. I'd prefer Samuel or Brown at that price

I love Samuel. Would be happy with him too but then you have Samuel and Rice would need to find ways to make it work while Mooney or Hollywood are more naturally complimentary.

I would not be against Samuel though, great player at what he does.

Mooney seems like a pretty decent player to replace MVS but I don't see the $10 millon APY figure. He had 1 TD and like 400 yards this year. Less than 500 and only 2 TD's the year before that.

His value isn't that high. I'm thinking probably $7-8 million APY is fair value for him.

I feel like I might be stealing someone else's suggestion, but Mooney getting the Juju contract would be great. 1 year deal, 4m plus incentives that could be 10m total

Not happening.

All it takes is one other team and he's young, runs a 4.3 and has produced before.

That is exactly why I do not understand the Mooney connection with the CHIEFS?

Lemme 'splain:

Mooney had a 1000 yard season under coach Nagy (our offense) with Turdbiskey at QB.

Then The Bears drafted Fields. Fields sucks.
Mooney got injured, and while out, DJ Moore became the focal point of the downfield passing attack.

Fields isn't a guy that gets to his second read, he just reads one, and either dumps it off short or takes off running.

So DJ Moore gets the lion's share of targets, the TE gets the dump-offs, and Fields runs the rest of the time.

So, Mooney, who is still young, has had a 1000 yard season IN THIS OFFENSE, with Matt Nagy, who's our offensive coordinator. He runs a 4.3. He can fly.

Ok, I get it now and thank you for the splain!

Yeah, Mooney is not a sexy addition because of how things have been going in Chicago the last 2 years, but it's one of those moves that could just look really smart and prompt Jesse Pinkman/getting away with it memes.

He's not my #1 target for the FA WR room, but if Darnell Mooney being the WR they add means they keep Chris Jones, I can be down with that for sure.

He's a fast guy who can do the Valdes-Scantling things, but also can do some of the gadget things, too.

Watch Mooney year 1 as a rookie and he often was running wide open for an easy TD and never got the ball.

He would be a huge value signing in KC as Mahomes would LoVE him.

He runs routes far better than MVS or Mecole but actually can track and fight for a ball. And he’s fast so that is threatening.

We need guys that will punish teams that sit on our short routes.

The one thing we agree on.

Holy shit this is pretty damning.

MSN:

18. Chiefs: OT Tyron Smith
The Chiefs took a one-year flyer on Donovan Smith at left tackle in 2023, and it worked just well enough. Smith is far more talented, even with an injury history, and makes sense as another stopgap blind-side protector for Patrick Mahomes.
