Chiefs Free Agent Mike Danna
 

Don't know how accurate sportrac is with their "market value" guesstimations but I personally hope the Chiefs can retain Danna. Do you (the CP brain trust) think he is an important piece to retaining some of our D consistency (especially with Omenihu going to miss half the season) or do you think FAU/BJ Thompson can step in without a drop off in production? Or will the Chiefs find a DE gem to step in and wreck from that side of the ball?

FAU and BJ Thompson really didn't see much action last year so hard to gauge their readiness.

Pretty sure he will be too expensive to retain, as whoever you are quoting suggests.

He gone

See ya!!!!!!!!

Not gonna work here anymore

Good player

Cut Omenihu and keep Danna?

It's going to be FAU taking a prominent role. You don't draft a DE at 1st round for nothing.

Yuh think?! If Danna is gone and Omenihu out for most of the season we'll need another DE.

Drafting FAU that high pretty much sealed his fate anyway

I don’t disagree but FAU had such limited playing time during the season last year it makes you wonder if they think he is even close to filling in.

And some were questioning if George would get a $100 mil contract LMAO

Old friend Ogbah got released… he’s 30 now, and should be relatively cheap

I'll be surprised if Danna gets a three-year, $50 million deal. Kudos to him if he does. I don't think he is WORTH that much.. so if that is the type of deals we are competing with, he is gone.

Otherwise, would love to get the band back together for another year or two.

FAU will be fine.. Let Danna go.. Omenihu will be back.. If we sign Jones we I’ll be ok..

I never heard the name BJ Thompson called all season. Surely Veach didn't miss on two DE's in one draft ????

3/50 cannot be right. That’s ludicrous.

I think it’s much more likely 3/27-30 and I don’t think I’d want to pay that, even if I really do like the player.

Not out of the realm of possibility. Similar careers, and Ogbah signed for a 4 year 65 mil contract 2 years ago

He outplayed his contract in KC but it helped him obviously to have Jones and Karlaftis around him.

It depends on where he lands, but he's relatively undersized. If a team wants to overpay him, that's their choice.

Dude was super raw coming out, a genuine project who also needed some time in the strength program before he was ever going to see the field

I was going to bring up ogbah. Of course he's getting released too.

Agree about Ogbah.

Id kick the tires on Barrett

He played almost the whole 2nd half the last game of the regular season at LAC and looked pretty disruptive, but needs to get stronger. Surely you didn't miss him playing two quarters in one game ????

Yeah right. Maybe 3-25 or 30 at best.

Didn’t watch much TB this year but I wonder if Barrett could be a missionary signing if you release CO?

Huge. I thought he would get paid by someone as he's a productive pass rusher

We decided to basically give away Sneed rather than play him on the tag, so with that money I'm expecting us to re-sign players like Danna who produced for us. More to come hopefully.

The twitter comments are stupid on that for sure.

No one knows what's going on with our front office and Blob Fescoe damn sure doesn't know shit.

Only Sneed and Tommy Townsend are Chiefs free agents who got paid by other teams this offseason.

Willie Gay certainly did not and there doesn’t seem to a hot market for Danna either.

Which is a bit odd considering the fact that the salary cap went up by over 13%. I would have thought they would be more likely to be getting paid.

Donovan Smith and Hardman next.

The thing with Danna is he's the definition of a system guy. He has his highest value in KC. He doesn't have any elite traits and really doesn't pop out on film. Guys like him are a dime a dozen in NFL GM's eyes.

Works out well for us, because we need him back.

I hate Bob Fescoe, he says the most basic shit ever, then claims its from his sources within the organization. Yes, no shit the Chiefs are trying to bring back Mike Danna Bob, thanks for the insider knowledge, how'd you come up with that one?!?

Thank you. Was thinking the same thing but wasn't sure how to word it. You were able to state what I was thinking.

Veach has said that their goal is to never enter draft day with any major holes on the roster. I'd imagine there's a solid chance they'll work out a deal with Smith.

Yet last offseason, Veach did just that by going into the Draft with no clear LT on the roster (a lot of speculation around JT switching to LT after his big pay day). Then was able to land Donovan Smith in early May. I would expect something similar to happen this offseason.

Spags loves him. A team friendly deal is all that's needed at this point. He's been a good player for us.

I would love to see Danna back. He and FAU would be a killer rotation at RDE.

If we resign Hardman, our wr room is getting full. We might pick a wr later in the draft than expected if Hardman is signed before the draft.

I’d take Smith and Danna back for sure. As long as they’re cheap, those are terrific signings.

Fine with Hardman as long as we don’t view the WR room as done. I think we still need a WR in the first couple rounds (as long as we aren’t reaching too much).

I would prefer Hardman over Moore.

I want Moore and Toney gone.

I’d be very happy with Rice, Brown, 2 draft picks (one early, one late), Watson, and Hardman.

Barring something major, Toney will be here this year. There is no financial incentive to cut him, but I do agree with you.

You don't have to have financial incentive to cut someone. If a draft pick is capable of catching balls thrown his way and play special teams and not be a distraction off the field, then he's better for the team than Toney regardless of if we save money cutting Toney or not.

Thing with Toney is that just can’t have him on the field.

He can’t reliably catch the ball when he’s wide open and the ball hits him in the hands. He can turn any easy 15 yard gain into a turnover.

If he’s a risk of major negative plays even when he’s schemed wide open, then he can’t see the field.

I’d rather just pay him and cut him.

Sure. But if said player can do that then he provides more value than Moore. He’s an easier player to cut.

Felix has had a flash play or two in just about every game where he's been given any kind of chance for playing time. I have no clue why he was stashed the way he was, but I want to see him kick some ass the way I know he can.

I love Danna and what he's done for us, but if we bring him back I hope it's not for anything more than a 1-year deal

Under Cullen and Spags, I have faith we're gonna get the most out of FAU as we can.
