2019 Free agency Thread
We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research. https://overthecap.com/ |

Nobody had the inaide scoop on the FA pick ups last year and we don't know who he tried to trade for that wasn't reported and if they would have attempted anything with Bell had Hunt been cut prior to trade deadline. I'm not surenif it'll be Bell for sure, but I think they want to add a significant name and the pool of names on Offense isn't deep. We had word they were targeting Jensen last year, so the big name could end up being Paradis or they could decide that they don't like Erving afterall and could get Saffold. Only thing I think for sure is they're gonna add something significant on Offense. |

Pass rush can be schemed to a certain point. Ford doesn't stop the run and that is our biggest problem. Cur Berry, Ford and Houston and sign some guys that can.

The best way to improve the offense (if they're so greedily chasing the "best offense ever") is fixing the defense. There probably aren't any skill players available that will boost their scoring from 35 to 40/game, but if opposing offenses aren't able to keep the O off the field for long stretches, we could absolutely score 40ish per game.

Why not try and trade for Sterling Shepard from the Giants to play in the slot?
He'd only cost $1.2 million and he's on the last year of his deal. |

Make no mistake about it; they’re cutting Watkins after this season. That’s why Veach structured his contract the way they did. They’re not paying him $24 mil. in 2020 to be their third receiving option. And if you were going to subscribe to this theory with Bell, the thought would be low cap number in year one, higher in years going forward replacing Watkins cap number in 2020 (but still not quite AS high, as he is a running back) and giving the Chiefs a more multi-faceted offense with a RB that can get big yards when needed. In essence, an offense that couldn’t be stopped and had no holes (save an injury). If they did this, they would be trusting in the fact that Spags and his coaches could fix the defense and that it wasn’t really a ‘player’ issue. Not saying I agree with this approach or am in favor of it (I prefer spending the money on defense at this point), but this would be the line of thinking I would presume. Will be interesting to see what happens either way . . . . . |

Guys this defense is in a rebuild mode, I'd assume the plan is to have it ready in 2-3 years so that Patrick Mahomes has a young (under contract) defense by the time he gets paid.
You are not going to rely on defense during these seasons.... You are going to rely on offense and ball control. |
