They got it though to go for them on the elweaknhold that ended up as a fumble and called back. That helped us get a fg and 17 to 10 lead then.

Yes, veach can master that cap space even more and one good way, as you said, is cutting MVS.

While true to a point, it is much easier to coach up talented guys that should be rated that high. Iowa takes 2 stars, switches positions a lot of times and trains them up in the weight room, on the field etc to transform them. This usually takes 3 or 4 years. If we lose one at 3 years, like we have before. It is starting over again. Thing is it happens every year or so and the other positions are not as talented if the coaching up is a bit slower etc. Just easier to have college ready players at each position where if one 4 or 5 star does not work out, another is there already trained up waiting to go. There is a reason some teams are consistently in the top 10 every year. We all know those teams. There also is a few that make noise now and then.....thet is when a magical season happens. To far and few in between.

Iowa has had great talent coming out. For a 2 star to 3 star rating type team, imagine how they would do with 4 and 5 star loaded recruits year in and out. There is a reason scouts like Iowa players, thing is they are not as glorious like other highly rated teams. Iowa is the only school in the country to have three first team All-Americans by FWAA in 2023. The Hawkeyes have had a FWAA All-American (first or second team) 11 straight seasons, dating back to 2013. Iowa has had eight FWAA All-Americans the last three seasons, second only to Georgia (9). The Hawkeyes have had a special teams All-American three of the last five seasons. Iowa has had multiple FWAA All-Americans each of the last five seasons (2019-23).

It's like the D line and CB argument. If the d line can't get pressures it puts stress on the CB. Same here, the WR can't get open and the line has to block longer, then Mahomes forced to scramble which makes them block more. Fix the WR#1 and I think it goes a long ways making us elite type offense again. A WR1 with Rice as 2 and Kelce, ones that can catch and contest the ball, helps it all go much better. Calvin Ridley? I think Ridley signs for less than Higgins. Ridley is 6'1" 190 pounds but ran a 4.3 40. Higgins is 6'4" 220 pounds but ran a 4.5 40. Who do we need more? Rice is 6'1" also but at 205 pounds and ran a 4.5 40. I think we go for Ridley and his speed.

Ridley yes! With Rice and Kelce plus having the others we keep would be great.

Resign what we can in place of Jones. To me it makes more sense keeping 3 or whatever players on this team and letting one go. From there address the other needs in FA and draft. WR, DT would be biggest needs if we keep say Gay or Bolton. Resigning Sneed would be great as he has proven to take on the best opposing WR. Then use money to get a FA WR or DT or some combo. The next year we have Smith, Creed and Bolton coming up. I think having depth a year out for a guy like Trey Smith would be best and resign the other 2. With the possible 51 mil in cap space we can definitely spend for a vet G or have a chance to fill in the upcoming draft. Plus Veach is great with the cap, so we may extend in season or even go in with even more money in 2025 for our guys. Or we spend 30 mil on Jones, have 20 plus left over for 20 other spots for a WR and let Gay/Bolton and a couple others go like a depth DE in Wharton, Dana etc. An excerpt from a quick search on 2024 cap space. What we do with our own goes a long ways. I just think Jones leaving, great if we can tag and trade, would go a long ways into getting many others resigned and money to play with in FA. The good news: The Chiefs are estimated to have about $51.66 million in cap space in 2024, according to OverTheCap.com, ranking the team 15th in the 32-franchise league. The bad news: The Chiefs have 24 of 53 players on their active roster eligible for free agency next season.

Not throwing to MVS or Toney would be a start.

Well as an Iowa fan, I was hoping for him and get ridiculed for my Iowa love. Thing is, I did not think he would go that high until his even more impressive combine numbers. Will see if the current TE stays or not this year. If Lachey comes out, I can see a 3rd round pick for him. Again though, depends on how his combine is and how his ankle has healed. Lately it has been Kittle, Fant, Hockensen and LaPorta coming out if Iowa and Lachey was well regarded by the coaches at Iowa also.

What I like about this is that we are still able to win it all. We need to play the way we can and not shoot ourselves. With that said, the GM etc sees a true need that needs to be fixed in WR, OT unless Morris continues his play like he has, and a new TE to be ready for the day when Kelce hangs it up. This is why Jones is gone imo. Use that 30 mil cap space to resign our own and go after a FA WR. Then use draft to fill depth or any holes at DT etc. It is the smart thing to do.

We were always going to make it. Some of you just needed to back away from the ledge and see it.

Toney will be. Last year of contract and still better to have as a 6th WR going into camp.

Fuck no, they would drop it and get ran over too.

Yep. Pat can't trust him any more. Neither should the chiefs.

What a fucking catch. Where has this ceh been?

Way to go Gay! Take it as it is said.

Kelce deserves an Oscar lol

And we get the ball to start the 2nd half! This team still can win the sb

Fuck Taylor

Every game is different. If the Pat's did not suck so bad, do you think they go for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking a fg? They are dangerous ad they have nothing to lose at all. Bill is playing possibly for his job etc. We just can't beat ourselves as we have been doing. That int did not help.

Great job to hold them to a fg.

Holding for sure, but fucking double henry

Mahomes throws it up, it is picked. They do it, it is a catch. Smh

Now let's see our offense answer. I want usbto just crush this game. The defense will adjust and hold. That part I am not worried about.

And yet I said the 2nd drive.....double Henry
