Mike Williams as hes a better red zone threat by obj still pretty good down there despite his size

Why?

I think that's where I am as well. Heck, I'm not against bringing Hardman back on a vet min deal, either.

Oh boy. You think that compares favorably with OBJ?

Yikes.

Lulz he isn't taking some "discount"

What part of "just for fun" and " :p " didn't you get? Lighten up a little. :)

If Veach is interested it's likely because he wants to ensure that no way last year happens again and is going to throw numbers at the position to make sure it doesn't. At worst, OBJ is just a solid WR. If we don't get a top 2 round WR this draft, a Rice, Brown, and OBJ combo as your 3 WRs is still ****ing great. If OBJ is your worst WR that gets a lot of snaps, then you have a really good corp.

Ah, now it makes sense. You got me, my bad.:thumb:

https://heavy.com/sports/baltimore-r...ll-beckham-jr/

"Beckham was supposed to be Baltimore’s WR1, but he was outplayed by rookie Zay Flowers. OBJ struggled to establish a rapport with Lamar Jackson, snagging just 35 of the franchise quarterback’s passes from 64 targets.

Targeting Beckham was a problem because he struggled to consistently gain separation. The wideout won on just 43.6 percent of his routes, including a modest 34.7 percent win rate against man coverage, according to Player Profiler."

That same account is now saying Chiefs have interest in Quez Watkins.

Oof...that is awful

Come on, man. He even gave you context clues.

Quez has a ton of speed and shouldn’t cost much.

As usual, if Veach signs him it's the greatest move ever. See you in New Orleans!

If we don't he is washed didn't need him TY Veach for dodging this 50 caliber bullet. We don't need this smelly steaming turd. See you in New Orleans!

OCity may get his wish a few years late.

Yikes

He’s old and slowed

PUNT!!!!

I'd easily take him, but it has to be cheap. Good thing Veach is who he is and won't over spend like other stupid teams.

OBJ connected to the Chiefs happens every year before the Chargers are crowned kings of the off-season. The script is repeating itself

Well yeah. That's why I doubt we get him. He's always taken the most $$$, afaik. But if we did get him, it'd be a lot better than relying on JWat/Moore/Toney and the like.


Also, just to have a real NFL WR, one that was once a top-5 guy, would do wonders for Rice and whichever rookie WR we draft. Hell, maybe he could help fix Toney.

I don't hate Quez at all. Him or Hardman for more speed.

From everything I saw last season his me-first attitude seems to have disappeared, though I have to admit I didn’t follow the Ravens that closely. He only caught around 55% of his targets last season though his QB was Lamar Jackson.

I agree with this but would also be okay with OBJ on a vet minimum deal with incentives.

Yeah, I didn't watch but maybe 2 BAL games last year, I think. no, I watched 4. One of my best friends is a Ravens guy so I watched a couple with him, though I probably paid more attention to my Makers and the cute bartender than I did the games at times.


But he did make a few nice plays that I noticed in those games. A couple are in that clip I posted. Also watched Lamar flat miss OBJ more than once. But Lamar misses everybody more than once, so . . .

Biggest thing you noticed if you paid attention to him is that he's a real fully functional NFL WR. He's a complete package, though he doesn't have long speed anymore. But in short/intermediate areas he's still pretty good. And he still has his hands and he's still fearless over the middle.


But mostly I'm thinking about all he could teach our young WRs. I'm serious about the idea that he could be the key to making Toney functional.

The Swifties may riot in the streets if this happens. OBJ is currently dating #2 on their top ten biggest enemies list (behind her ex-husband).

Only way we should take OBJ is on a minimum vet contract, I guess with incentives. But I doubt he will play for that. It was amazing how much he soaked the Baltimore ravens for last year.

Are people serious thinking that he could actually mentor Toney. We have to get rid of that cancer.

It’s official guys…. AB has called a lot of stuff before anybody else

I'm calling Shanahanagins on cte network

OBJ is a rich mans Kadarius Toney

Prefer Mike Williams

Would love to see what this dude could do with the GOAT as his QB! Sign him!

More like an older Tyreek.

Still explosive and he can still get wide open. All for it.

Kelce
Hollywood
Rice
Beckham
Worthy
Watson
Ross/Toney

Make it happen, Bart!

I’m tellin ya this won’t work. We can’t have TSwift and Kim Kardashian in arrowhead at the same time. The distraction would be unbearable. The space time continuum might implode.

There's something about Antonio Brown having the inside scoop that's troubling.

Not really a big fan of signing OBJ....hoping this isn't true.

His ability to come down with the football in traffic is coveted.

The remainder of his greatly diminished skills are not...

Well, after trying to understand his farewell message to the Ravens, he and Toney speak the same language, so they would understand each other.

As much as I dislike his character, I want to see Mahomes comfortable in the pocket with WRs he can trust. If they can consistently get open, I know Mahomes will deliver. I miss seeing those deep ass passes where the ball would just sink right into their hands as if it was being reeled in by them. That's the shit that boosts morale on offense and keeps momentum going or completely shifts it into our favor. We have a QB who's going to go down as one of the best in history. Just get this man the receivers he deserves..

Needs to be a very cheap deal.

I'm not excited about it unless I hear it is at or under Hollywood's offer. 5m up to 7m with incentives would be about the max I'd want to see for him at this stage.

Winning two Super Bowls in a row also tends to boost morale on offense

TMZ reported this earlier as well. Although I do question OBJ’s motivation for wanting to come here, if he’s taking a cheap deal I am all for it. I believe he just wants to be here for the exposure more than anything, since we’ve basically become the Hollywood of the NFL.

He wants to be playing in prime time 10 nights a year catching passes from the face of the league. I just hope he stays motivated. He seemed to have turned a corner last year in Baltimore understanding his role and being a leader. Hopefully he continues that if he lands here.

Thank you. No.

Sure why the **** not. Absolutely no chance he's not our 3rd best WR immediately, Watson can be our 4 and who gives a shit about the rest. Maybe give Ross another year in the oven.

Not a huge fan. His attitude seems better knowing that he doesn't have leverage anymore. But mahomes needs a consistent target who will always be where he needs to be. After last year we don't need another guy who freelances a bit. If we're going for an injury prone guy I'm going with Mike Williams. But most likely we just deal with it in the draft

If KC is going to sign an over the hill ring chaser for a one year deal, they should sign Bakhtiari and not OBJ.

Since we've got Brown now, I don't expect to add another free agent receiver until after the draft. Then, I think that Veach will add someone willing to sign cheap. There are still plenty of good options available that would help boost our receiver corps. OBJ and Williams are the top 2 and unless they come cheap to chase a ring, I don't see either landing here. But that still leaves Thomas, Chark, Robinson and even MVS on a much cheaper deal. I wouldn't take any of them on an expensive deal to be our 1 or 2. But I would certainly take them to push Toney and Moore down or even off the roster. I expect to see one or both of them traded for a seventh round pick at some point

One of them is still physically able to play football

Guys...Bakhtiari is done... say it with me.

REPORT

That was some good stuff. I guess I didn't realize how much he contributed. That play in the Raiders game at 11:45 illustrates how their coach is gonna have them playing overly physical and, in this case, dirty. That was a cheap shot the LB did on Watson while running his route. And I love how Justin let him know it after catching the TD. Dirty, cheap shot Raiders. Some things never change.

I wouldn't be thrilled about this move. If you do it, vet minimum, or hard pass.

CTESPN is the only one reporting this LMAO

Since Mouthbreather Magic wants this, you know we should pass on it.

i get why he wants to come here.

I am just conflicted.

Meh. I can't imagine OBJ would sign for any contract that is low-dollar enough for me to like it. My perfect world we would have a rookie at our WR3 spot this year developing and emerging to replace Hollywood in 2025. So in that world OBJ would be WR4 and that seems unrealistic. If we have money burning a hole in our pocket go bring back Donovan Smith instead.

Vet minimum? Or something close?

This is a move you make if you're the Jets, with a 40 year old Aaron Rodgers.

We don't need to go nuts for a one year push.

We need a #3 type WR, and a draft that's LOADED in WR's.

Just draft a guy.

OBJ is probably at the point in his career that he is more concerned about finding a good fit than maximizing his earnings. He was a great fit in LA with McVay, I think KC would utilize him well. And the only reason why WC is a willing partner is because they don't trust Moore and Toney, who even with Brown in house, are just one injury away from seeing significant playing time. And there is also the fact that I don't believe the Chiefs are going to give Brown 100+ targets.

My preference is to still draft and develop a WR from the draft, but it is becoming crystal clear that the Chiefs are in the Hunt for a LT high in the draft, which changes things a bit from the free agency perspective. I expect OBJ to be a 5M guy pus some incentives that he won't hit.

Hollywood Brown just signed a very reasonable deal to be here. Jones refused to leave. Sneed is trying to stay, despite plenty of suitors.

People need to realize that being part of a three-peat (and catching passes from Mahomes) is pretty enticing to these guys. Especially ring chasers near the end of their careers.

Agreed. In addition, OBJ brings additional non-football baggage that the Chiefs just don’t need. Also, I’m not giving up on Skyy Moore yet. If he steps up this year and contributes with 500 yards and 3-4 TDs that would be huge. Rice, Kelce, Brown, Moore, Hardman, Irv Smith, Watson. And you add at least one more in the draft. We don’t need OBJ.

I've thought about this a bit since yesterday and I hate it even more now.

Stay away from OBJ.

We have no idea what kind of deal Veach can pull off here. And we all know that a rookie is far from guaranteed to produce in Reid's offense, especially in the first half of the year.

I'd love to see a 1-year "threepeat discount" deal for Beckham.

If Veach/Reid went this route and signed another veteran wide receiver it makes ZERO sense to draft a receiver in the first/second round this year. They arent going to develop sitting behind Kelce/Rice/Hollywood/OBJ in targets. If you sign OBJ, I think you are packaging your 1st and 2nd rounder to go grab a franchise left tackle.

WE ARE NOT DRAFTING A WR IN THE FIRST ROUND

Our current LT is Wanya Morris. Yikes!

So let's bring in a rookie that's probably the 4th or 5th option in this class and expect him to be better....gotcha.

hmmm. I bet he isn't really interested in the $$$$$ the Chiefs would offer. He took the best 1 year deal he could find last year. Don't know why that would have changed.

Could say the same thing about WR no?

And yeah Andy probably isn’t drafting a WR rd 1. Doesn’t fit his philosophy

This is likely his final season. He would be smart to join the Chiefs to give his brand a big boost heading into his post-football career.

We very well could. Donovan Smith is available and we are probably talking with him. I am fine taking a tackle in the 1st, but at 32 it will be tough to get quality. If we do draft a tackle, we probably trade up to get one that's fallen. It will be interesting as we are in really good shape and can let the board fall to us.

Well the difference to me is you're not asking the rookie WR to come in and be the #1 option or even the 2nd like you might be with LT.

Also, I think the 4th,5th, or 6th best WR in this class will improve this team more than the same spot at LT.

I'm all for a 2nd round WR. Things also get a little easier if you trade Sneed.

But adding OBJ wouldn't be nearly as bad as some people here are making it out to be.

isn't OBJ a post june 1st cut?

I watched the footage or part of the footage, the dude was such an entitled asshole.

I think between Mahomes/Kelce/Jones/Reid they can control the locker room where he is not a distraction and if they cant, no big deal, just cut him. Because I'm assuming, its a cheap deal. If not, **** that guy.

May be a low risk Sammy Watkins, Kadarious Toney type signing.

Mike Williams or Michael Thomas would be similar signings.

Not great, not horrible.

Hunter Renfrow please

Yep I agree. Thomas would be cheaper too I'd think

If he is cheap enough why not? WR3 or WR4 option?

Fun fact: he has the same birthday as my wife. Thomas to KC confirmed

Michael Thomas has had ankle/foot injuries for years now and then suffered a knee injury last year. The guy is pretty much cooked. Hard pass.
