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/ |

Jones isnt' the complimentary guy anymore. Not that he necessarily was this year, but take those 2 outside guys away and things will change for him in terms of what offenses throw at him.
They need a lot more talent up front than they have at the moment. |

Now the Chiefs can make him play out this season (age 25) and then tag him at roughly $15.5 and then $19ish million and then let him out on the market for his age 28 season. At that point he'd probably be looking at deals in the 4 year range. But A) To do that you need to get Hill extended because Hill will get the tag before Jones and B) You need to be sure he'll actually report on that tag. I suspect he would; it's almost always a bluff when they say they won't. But there's a risk associated with that as well. Jones isn't gonna just sign a 4 year deal though. It's gonna take longer than that if you want him to simply bypass his shot at FA. |

I feel like years won’t matter to Jones. He knows that less than 5% of non-QB’s get through the life of those contracts anyway.
Offer him the right guaranteed money and the guy will whip his long ass dick out and sign it quickly. |

Some good players still out there. Philon would be interesting. |

If he wants $60+ million in guarantees (and I suspect he will), that's an awfully tough thing to do over 4 years unless you just make it all guaranteed salary rather than trying to spread a bonus. And man oh man, if you do that and he mails it in, you are so so ****ed. There's not even a 'painful dead cap' measure you can take at that point. You just pray you can find some shitty team with a lot of cap space and a 3-4 defense that might be willing to take him off your hands for you if you also send them a 3rd round pick. I'm not saying it's not a viable consideration. Maybe you do approach him with a 4 year, fully guaranteed $64 million extension that kicks in after his 2019 season. It's not completely crazy. But there are risks there as well. |

Chris Jones didn’t start getting sacks until Justin Houston got hurt in week 5...

I'd rather have Clowney but I get some think he's overrated.
I think in this hybrid front the Chiefs are appearing to want to run, next to Jones, he'd be just unreal. |

Clark is Ford. Hell, Ford's ceiling is substantially higher than Clarks, though Clark's floor is safer.
What the hell is the point in moving Ford just to replace him with Clark? And I damn sure wouldn't take a 2020 2nd for Ford and then move twice that or more for Clark. What makes Clark a fit here when Ford wasn't? If someone can explain that to me, I'll listen. |

[Coller] Vikings are waiting on Everson Griffen or a Waynes trade. They have no money to spend. If they made a big move, they could chase after one of the better FAs still on the board.
Check if they'll take less just so they can get anybody left. |

Could you imagine getting Clowney and Jones inside against guards and a center next to each other?
Yeesh. |

If they dumped Ford and then turn around and give up even more for Frank Clark? Well that would be dumb.
