All I know is the list of free agent wide receivers is getting thin. If we're eyeing a vet out there, it has to be someone we're going to trade for at this point, right?

I have no idea who half of them are.

All I see are a bunch of clutch Super Bowl champion WRs

I don’t disagree. I wouldn’t have the balls to rely on the draft, but I get why Veach may see that as the best route. Especially, when coming off of a Super Bowl win.

It looks that way to me, but I have to admit that I'm not terribly familiar with the remaining FA WRs either. And of course, Odell is still available. If I had to guess, Veach/Andy are taking a serious stare at both of them, trying to decide which one is the better risk/fit.

Just some info on the lesser known WRs on the roster for those of us that need it.


John Ross - 27 yo 5’11” 190 lbs - 2017 1st Round pick by the Bengals. Combine 40 time of 4.22. NFL Stats with Bengals & Giants 62 Rec 957 Yds 11 TDs

Ihmir Smith-Marsette - 23 yo 6’1” 185 lbs - 2021 5th round selection of the Vikings. Combine 40 time of 4.42. NFL stats with Vikings and Bears 6 Rec 131 Yds 2 TDs

Jerrion Ealy - 22 yo 5’8” 187 lbs - 2022 UDFA (Chiefs) - Combine 40 time 4.52

Ty Fryfogle - 24 yo 6’1 205 lbs - 2022 UDFA (Cowboys) - Combine 40 time 4.53

Justyn Ross - 23 yo 6’4” 205 lbs - 2022 UDFA (Chiefs) - Combine 40 time 4.64

Cornell Powell - 25 yo 6’ 204 lbs - 2021 5th round selection by the Chiefs. Combine 40 yard time 4.53

The only other option I can think of, is maybe Veach is expecting some surprising camp cuts that we can go after?

I would imagine Justyn Ross' 40 time is faster than that when healthy

So basically we're shooting blanks with these guys.

Powell probably. I’d like to see what shakes out with the others. Three may be a gem or two in there.

We're still a month away, so it's very possible even likely that some more WRs will somehow become available before then, because some teams will decide they need the cap space/draft capital or whatever. At least I would think so?

Yeah. His combine 40 time is nearly identical to Noah Gray's.

John Ross has never been able to stay healthy.

Ealy is too short and not fast enough. Not sure why we ever picked him up. Don't remember anything about him; he just was on the team one day.

The rest of them? Maybe there's one in there that will be more than camp fodder. Wouldn't count on it though.

I've given up on Powell ever doing anything serious, he's on the practice squad heading into year 3... I was overly optimistic about a fifth rounder because he looks the part of a physical player

Yeah imagine if Noah had these highlights.
