probably right but I dont think it'd be hard to visualize him being a training camp cut

Contract for Gabbert According to the folks at Over The Cap, the 33-year-old received a veteran salary benefit with a $1.165 million base salary in 2023. He’ll also get a $152K signing bonus and $940K guaranteed at signing. During the 2023 NFL season, he’ll count $1,092,500 against the salary cap. They’re not saving much against the cap with this type of VSB contract, but they’re also not paying the full amount. Right now, Gabbert’s contract comes in with the 31st biggest cap hit for Kansas City.

not before 5th round and who knows?

what's life without hope? I mean it's what has kept us fans for 50 years lol

Chiefs plan to connect with Jerick McKinnon after draft Running back Jerick McKinnon has not signed with anyone since becoming a free agent in March and a return to Kansas City for another season with the Chiefs remains a possibility. That was the word from General Manager Brett Veach during a press conference on Wednesday. McKinnon spent the last two seasons with the Chiefs and Veach said they’ll have a conversation about a third one after the draft wraps up next week. “He’s certainly a guy that we love,” Veach said, via Nate Taylor of TheAthletic.com. “Jerick likes to take his time and make sure he’s ready to go. Once we get past next weekend, we’ll double up.”

I see the Chiefs trading up to between 20-25 for who I have no idea but if you listened to Veach's Presser it seemed to me that he will be calling all teams in the 20's to see their heads at doing due diligence. I truly do not see them trading back

wow at 239#s he's an LB not a DE Chiefs hosted Iowa State EDGE Will McDonald IV on pre-draft visit The Kansas City Chiefs can no longer host prospects on pre-draft visits after the April 19 deadline, but information about who they hosted continues to trickle in. McDonald is an explosive athlete. He posted a 36-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot broad jump at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine. At his pro day, he ran a 4.66s 40-yard dash, 4.09s short shuttle and a 6.79s three-cone. That explosion and athleticism translate to the field as he has one of the best get-offs in the class and bends the turns the edge with the best of them. Another reason that Kansas City likely sought to get McDonald in the building is that he’d be a huge departure from the norm for Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. He meets the height (6-foot-4) and arm length (35 inches) thresholds, but he’s well below the weight threshold at 239 pounds. The big fear here is that without added weight, McDonald will not be able to do his part in run support and will only be used as a situational pass rusher. He did seem to put on some additional weight from the combine to his pro day, but will it be enough? Steve Spagnuolo likes to have defensive ends who can play both the run and the pass effectively as a means to “earn the right to rush the passer.”

Party? no but will watch it.It confuses the wife on why I do. But when I had Satellite TV I'd sit and watch hours of them car auctions too

As first reported by former NFL punter-turned-broadcaster Pat McAfee, the Chiefs are set to sign 12-year NFL veteran and Ballwin, Missouri native Blaine Gabbert to back up Patrick Mahomes. The former No. 10 overall draft pick in 2011, Gabbert has spent time in Jacksonville, San Francisco, Arizona, and Tennessee during the course of his career. The last three years of his career he spent in Tampa Bay as the backup to Tom Brady. Gabbert has a boatload of NFL experience to rely on with 48 regular season starts and 67 game appearances during his career. He last started three games for the Tennessee Titans in 2018, finishing the season with a 2-1 record, completing 61 passes for 626 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions. He also won Super Bowl LV as a backup playing against the Chiefs, so he has some experience with that type of postseason preparation. This is a bit of a homecoming for Gabbert, who played collegiately at the University of Missouri from 2008-2010. He’ll join a quarterback room that features Mahomes, third-year QB Shane Buechele and second-year QB Chris Oladokun. Gabbert will add to the competition for that backup quarterback spot behind Mahomes. It’s a safe bet that this move now has Kansas City set at the quarterback position, though they could add a priority free agent after the 2023 NFL draft.

Chiefs hosted Michigan WR Ronnie Bell on pre-draft visit Charles Goldman Mon, April 17, 2023 at 11:45 AM CDT The 23-year-old Bell is from Kansas City, Missouri and played high school football at Park Hill before heading to play at Michigan. The 6-foot and 193-pound receiver started 31 of 47 possible games in five seasons with the Wolverines, catching 145 passes for 2,269 yards and 9 touchdowns. He also played special teams, both coverage and as a return specialist, returning 13 punts for 150 yards and two kicks for 53 yards. Right now, Bell’s draft stock is squarely on Day 3 with many believing he’ll be selected in the sixth or seventh round of the draft.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid confident in Jawaan Taylor’s ability to play left tackle Charles Goldman Mon, April 17, 2023 at 12:46 PM CDT Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid addressed the media at the onset of the offseason workout program on Monday, April 17. This was the first time that media members had been able to chat with Coach Reid since the conclusion of the 2022 NFL season. Naturally, there were a lot of questions about some of the newest additions to the team. One of those additions is Jawaan Taylor, who is currently expected to make a switch from right tackle to left tackle after almost exclusively playing on the right side during his NFL career. Reid seems quite excited about what he’s seen from Taylor when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguars and expressed full confidence in his ability to make the switch to left tackle. “I liked him. I like his tape,” Reid said. “We saw him firsthand a couple of times too. Even though he was on the right side I think he can transfer over to the left side. He’s really a good athlete and I think he’s excited about that.” Taylor played just 18 snaps last season at the left tackle position, but most of them were on heavy looks where he was aligned outside the team’s true left tackle. He started two games with the Florida Gators at the left tackle position in 2017, but that’s about the extent of his experience at the position. While Reid expressed confidence in his ability to make the switch, he also expressed confidence in Taylor’s versatility. He seems to believe that he has the ability to play any position on the offensive line. “Now, that doesn’t mean he can’t play the right side,” Reid said. “If we got another left tackle, he could play the right side. He gives you flexibility. He could probably jump in at guard. He’s smart. He could probably play center. It appears that Reid and Brett Veach are keeping their options open with the upcoming 2023 NFL draft. The ultimate goal seems to be having as much flexibility as possible along the offensive line. Taylor appears to be a highly coveted piece in that puzzle for the time being. “He’s a pretty talented kid,” Reid said. “We look forward to getting him in here. I think that was a great pickup by Brett (Veach).”

Here's the problem.. there is a glut of RBs in FA available most are younger than JMcK many with a similar skill set. He played for Vet Minimum and he wont get more this year whether it be from the Chiefs or anyone else at his age. Vet minimum is 1.5M maybe throw in some bonus options but the bottom line is at 31 does he want to play or not. JMO he'll be signed by training camp, he signed last June so there is no rush but yea I'd like to se him on the roster again

define "decent $$"

FIFY

when I read these kind of speculations I want to rip my hair out...luckily I have no hair to rip out. Clark aint forcing Veach to do shit in the draft. If we had Jerry Jones or the like I'd think maybe that would be a possibility. Clark wants what's best for the Chiefs and another SB win, he left those decisions on how to accomplish that goal to Veach..the end

My point by saying "spending much draft capital on a WR" is moving up drafting in order to get one. Also I'll throw in a stud TE could accomplish exactly what your 3rd sentence said. That being said IF one falls to them and they are sitting there with their jaws on the ground wondering WTF he's doing there then that'd be more understandable. JuJu was no #1 and we just won a SB without a real #1. JMO but I think that delusion of thinking we need a true #1 to be successful is been thrown out with the dish water. In Veach I trust

with this signing and all the WRs in camp..hard to imagine the Chiefs spending much draft capital on a WR anymore. I certainly think that D-Hop dream was just that and now has become more of a punch line to a joke.

that 1.4 is Vet minimum FYI

Chiefs to re-sign WR Justin Watson on two-year contract As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are set to re-sign WR Justin Watson on a two-year contract worth up to $6 million. The deal includes $1.4 million guaranteed. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler adds that it’s effectively worth $3.5 million with escalators and incentives each year that could push the deal to that $6 million total mark.

sounds to me TE it is then

Chiefs to hold pre-draft meeting with Oklahoma State S Jason Taylor II According to KPRC2 NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs are scheduled to meet with Oklahoma State S Jason Taylor II sometime soon. It’s unclear whether this is a top-30 visit, a private workout or otherwise, but this prospect is receiving quite a bit of interest around the league. Wilson reports that Taylor visited the Jets, has an upcoming visit with the Saints and has already met with the Texans, Raiders and Eagles. Taylor was the Big 12’s leader in interceptions (6) this past season, only one shy of matching the FBS lead last season. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 208 pounds, Taylor was a two-year starter for the Cowboys, becoming a cornerstone in the defensive secondary. He was highly productive during that span with eight total interceptions and 11 passes defended. Taylor has the versatility to play single-high, two-deep, or roll down into the box and play closer to the line of scrimmage. He is also a stud special teams player, boasting over 400 multi-phase special teams snaps throughout his college career, which would certainly appeal to a team like Kansas City. It might look like the safety room is rather full for the Chiefs with the addition of Mike Edwards and re-signing of Deon Bush, but competitive depth is important. It’s not just about creating a competitive environment for the upcoming NFL season, but also for the future.
