Yes. Yes it is.

Especially if you expect them to be INSTANT-IMPACT.

Oh, totally.

Tell me your picks that will be in our range, so we can watch how excellent you would be as our GM! Because clearly, it's as simple as just drafting the good ones.

Bullshit. Bark Vartcn needs to tell Candy Read and Fatt Lagy to get their shit together.

I would have taken him on that deal. Grrr.

Just found my new password. Appreciate that!

He’s the widest receiver on the team

You might want sit out the WR conversation after making predictions such as this about last year’s WR group…

LMAO

Going full WR in the draft is a bit risky.

It makes your moves in the draft more obvious, which is never favorable. I'm curious what the plan is. In Veach We Trust.

Well it was half right. The wr room was the talk of the league by November, but not in a good way.

And your alternative strategy is… what?

Tap into the non-existent free agent market?

I also said many times that if we hit on ONE, we'd be fine. If we hit on TWO, we'd dominate.

Well, we hit on one, and won the Superbowl.

So let's have your picks, now, in advance. Let's see if you're smarter than Veach, who's definitely smarter than I am.

Or are you just a bitcher?

I'd just draft Marvin's Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers. BOOM!

So easy a caveman can do it.

The alternate strategy is to add some FAs who make sense who are improvements over the non-Rice guys they had last year. Even if the price seems high (whisper: It actually isn't).

There are still plenty of players in FA who do just that.

It's not as simple as saying "prices are bad on FA, just use the draft and land instant impact guys!"

If you do a good job, you can do that on ONE guy. You have to be pretty lucky, picking where the Chiefs are, to get TWO guys at the position. Unless you burn all your capital to do it, and they can't afford to do that.

It's all about making it work under the cap. The front office knows what its needs are, it knows what resources it has to try and meet those needs, and it knows the hierarchy of them.

People on here who are freaking out and saying they should not be making ANY FA moves seem to think that salaries NOW shouldn't be any higher than salaries LAST YEAR or even a few years ago.

There still is one high-priced (or expected to be high-priced) player who would help the Chiefs a lot - and for the folks complaining that something like 3/48 or 4/64 would be WAYYYYYYYY too much for Brown, I'll point you to the fact that 3/48 was Sammy Watkins' deal six years ago, when the cap was $177.2M, 44 percent LESS than what it is in 2024.

If the Chiefs were paying Brown with the exact same dollar portion of the salary cap as they paid Watkins back then, they'd be giving him 3/$69M in 2024 dollars. The equivalent of paying him 2024 dollars of 3/48 or 4/64 would be like 3/33 or 4/44 in 2018.

Inflation has hit the NFL too, ya'll. Every tier of receiver is going to cost more.

I'd rather dip in and try to buy a longer-term piece that fits and is an upgrade for his role in the offense NOW than next year, too (after the Chase and Jefferson extensions get done and set a new top of the market).

Please, your receipts sucking off the likes of Skyy Less and Toney are hilariously Reeruned. ROFL

And you reading my statement that it is reasonable to expect the Chiefs to come away with at least two impact WR’s in an ultra-deep WR draft… as me supposedly saying that I am “smarter than Veach”… makes no sense.

Veach knows better than anyone how deep this WR draft is.

In my post that you crying over, I said the Chiefs should sign OBJ or Mike Williams.

But you are not being realistic if you don’t think the Chiefs will need to find multiple impact WR’s in the draft as the primary method to upgrade the WR position.

There is no one currently available in free agency besides the likes of OBJ, Mike Williams, Michael Thomas, etc.

Oh, I'm not crying, friend. I'm maybe banging my head against the toilet stall wall, but I'm not crying.

Your assertion - they better find not one, but two instant impact WRs in the draft because it's a deep draft - is far outside the bounds of reality or probability based on the Chiefs positioning in the draft.

Those guys' names are Harrison, Nabers, and Odunze. Every other WR in the draft has SOME questions that could prevent them from being instant-impact guys. Or they would be top 15 locks, too.

Devin White to the Eagles on a 1-year deal

Devin white to Eagles. Howie going all in

Guess Howie is trying to save Sirianis job

The Eagles have been aggressive as hell for years and never seem to pay the price for it with the cap.

***2024 NFL Free Agency***
 

Great point about Watkins. No one that I can recall ever even complained much about his deal. If Brown gives us 1000 and 1200 with 5 TDs each in years 2 and 3 at $16-18 he is a huge bargain for the team. Also something his agent knows which is why they aren’t going to just lay down for a what we would think is a bargain today on this years team.

That's because they just paid their QB last year. It will come.

Also, Devin White is nothing more than a name at this point.

He was terrible last year.

Kelce and Fletcher Cox retiring also helped their salary cap this offseason as well.

He was so bad Bowles benched him in the DET playoff game. And Devon apparently took himself out of a game last season.

Can you imagine getting him as a 5th overall pick?

He’s a two-down run stuffer at best now.

Devin White is famously one of the players that PFF hates the most.

He posts some of the lowest scores you’ll see. It’s impressive.

He's probably not quite as useful as Reggie Ragland was his last season here.

Defensive line is staying intact.

Maybe they can keep Danna as well.

Damn. I hope they don’t view this years DL room as good enough, especially DT. If Sneed is traded I’d use one of the first three picks on a DL that can play inside.

Also bc I’m a major Brandon Dorlus and Ruke Orhorhoro stan

Feeeeeeeeeehk.

Loving the thought of us keeping Sneed, AND upgrading WR. We basically bring back the same elite defense, with things getting easier on offense.

LMAO

The signing we’ve all been waiting for!

No, but seriously, the DT room is probably finished. Certainly until the draft.

But Nnadi is truly awful.

He was cleary outplayed by Pennel and frankly I thought Farrell was better than him when given a chance.

He's better than Dickerson I guess.

Nah. It's FAU time.

Howie Roseman is all about the names man.

Problem is I don’t think he thinks twice about chemistry and the role that plays in a functioning unit.

Nnadi is basically a less noticeable Nieman or Sorensen

I don’t get it but the coaches must love him.

He actually had a much better year than the previous 2 and is cheap depth.

Why the **** do we keep bringing Nnadi back? Dude is trash.

We traded a draft pick to the Jets to get Mecole Hardman back mid-season.

Now bring back Big Mike Danna and draft another DT

Spags like him so that's good enough for me.

We already have.

Spot on. Like fan fiction GMing.

Sweet! For some reason I thought he was a FA

He makes his potluck brownies with the finest ingredients

He said Danna.

He had a marginally better year than the previous 2 and only because the previous 2 were about as bad as a NT can be without weighing a buck eighty.

He was still worse than he was as a rookie. I'd call him cheap depth if I thought they'd layer him and stash him on the PS.

They won't he's better than 50/50 to be the starting NT in week 1 next season. Because they can't quit the guy.

I'm pretty sure he confused Mike Pennel for Mike Danna. Mike Pennel has re-signed. Mike Danna is still a free agent.

Because he's the only part of Veach's first draft class that actually managed to survive past his rookie deal?

Best answer I've got. It ain't performance.

Is it a Joe Cullen thing? DL is the only position group I've seen the Chiefs do this with recently.

Bringing back Nnadi? I really hope they don’t play him over Farrell. Let the young kid develop. Nnadi is not very good. Why do we love him? Hopefully we draft someone and cut him.

Let Pennel and Farrell run the NT spot.

Nnadi must make the best burgers for Andy or something because I don't get it. Whatever.

I feel like the DT room is set. We lack depth at DE with Omenihu hurt and Danna likely gone now.

Is it September yet

He was more than marginally better, but not great. He was total ass the 2 years before, but at least he had plays this year where you go, ok, that was decent. Could care less he's back, but I'm guessing its near the vet minimum, and may not make it to the regular season, it will be interesting to see what the signing $ was in this deal.

Many people are saying that if Derrick Nnadi wins a 4th ring that he’s a first ballot hall of famer.

It’s probably one of those veteran exception deals where he gets more than minimum salary but only counts for the minimum against the cap.

Whatever. He was better this year and knows the system. They could do worse, I guess.

He went from being ass to a bad player. There is no justification for this signing unless he is the PS guy kept for depth.
But we all know he will be the starter.

Didn’t realize Berrios was on the market… I am biased towards him, a Miami guy.

But why do it? Draft a guy to develop and move on from him.

DT- jones, Wharton, draft pick
NT- Pennel, Farrell, Buggs

Lol at the bed wetters moaning about a man who has been with this team FOR ALL THREE SUPERBOWL WINS and clearly has the trust of Spags aswell as being a guy who can uphold the culture he has helped create during this run. So please grow the feck up fgs ROFL

Not a vote of confidence for Neil Farrell.

My bad. I saw Big Mike and skipped the rest thinking you were talking about Pennel. Danna is still a FA.

Chiefs are OBVIOUSLY being stubborn with Hollywood.

They want him to come down on his asking price.

I bet MahomesMagic sure is glad you pop up from time to time to remind us all he's not QUITE the dumbest poster on the entire site.

I presume they used that on Wharton already since that deal was noted as guaranteed (the 4 year VSB is fully guaranteed money, IIRC)

You get 2 per year, I think.

Shut up bitch :evil:

Four-year qualifying contract: Another type of veteran salary benefit, it can be offered to a player with at least four credited seasons whose contract with a team has expired after being on said team for four or more consecutive, uninterrupted league years prior to his contract expiring. Such a player must have been on the team's 90-man active/inactive list for said seasons (and every regular-season and postseason game). Teams can sign a maximum of two eligible players to this type of salary benefit.

Or they just don’t want him

What are your picks? Let's see your genius, as you've clearly never been wrong.

You’re absolutely lost when it comes to football.


But it’s good to know YOU know more about these players than the NFL teams and scouts.

;)

If we win the SB this year, who would be in the 4xSB winner club?

Mahomes
Kelce
Jones
Butker
Nnadi
Winchester
Blake Bell if he's not gone

Am I forgetting anyone?

Correct but you get an aggregate benefit that can be split among two players or allocated to a single player. Wharton's deal was large enough (usually needs to be about $3.2 million) to use the whole aggregate amount.

So they would have used the max benefit on Wharton's deal.
