  1. Well vorhees may allow us to not have to overpay 2 years down the road. Keep ahead of the cap space type thing he is good at so far.
  2. And use a late 6th rounder for Vorhees. RG or maybe he can do LG after Thuney? Keep the line going with great prospects
  3. Can you imagine a line that can block all day for Mahomes? We would not need superstars at WR when he could just pick them apart on passing.
  4. I hope he is a RT and we get a LT then. Hope to get a good DT next to Jones.....hopefully OR a DE. Then go into the draft knowing we need just a couple positions and depth.
  5. Guess that answers my question. He will play LT, unless a good LT only falls to us.
  6. Vorhees. Tore his Acl in the combine and then still put 38 reps at the bench with one leg. Guard but man give him a year and we could have a stud to replace where need be.
  7. Well there is that USC player that was injured and won't play this year. He will fall, maybe worth a shot to sit and heal up? Was projected to be a higher round 2 type pick.
  8. Yeah, remember those top 5 picks that never lived up to their billing? Dorsey, Jackson, even Fisher to a point. Then all the 2nd and 3rd round picks, plus some 1st rounders that were shit. Magee, Arenas, Mcluster, Asamoah, Moeaki, Baldwin, Bailey, Stephonson,Jeff Allen, Niles Davis, Conley, Dee Ford,Nelson ....... Then Veach came in and helped. He had a few bumps but man we are hitting much more than missing.
  9. Veach has made all the other GMs his bitches. He will figure it out if one is available at the 20s or so.
  10. We can have 58 million or so available in cap space and this before we could extend Jones and create more. 16 million is from bot tagging and cutting Clark is what we have now. https://arrowheadaddict.com/2023/03/10/kc-chiefs-create-cap-space-restructure-options-offseason/ Arrowhead Addict GLENDALE, ARIZONA - FEBRUARY 12: Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and Kansas City Chiefs general manager Mark Donovan celebrate with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium on February 12, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images) KC Chiefs can create cap space with these restructure options by Jacob Milham3 hours agoFollow @JMilTheHam TWEET SHARE COMMENT Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach is no stranger to restructuring contracts to make cap space. The Kansas City Chiefs enter this offseason with more question marks than expected. The reigning Super Bowl Champions stand to let left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. hit the open market if the two do not reach a deal within the next week. Also, the Chiefs officially released defensive end Frank Clark on Tuesday, opening a sizeable hole on the defensive line in 2023. It doesn’t sound like much on the surface, but so many assumed the Chiefs would franchise tag Brown and renegotiate Clark’s contract. Neither is happening, and general manager Brett Veach has some work to do. The Chiefs can still work to retain their free agents, including Brown, offensive tackle Andrew Wylie, safety Juan Thornhill, and many more. However, those players only return if the Chiefs first clear some cap space. According to Over the Cap, the Chiefs have $16.9 million in cap space as of March 7. It sounds reasonable, but more is needed to replenish the roster with contributors in all three facets of the game. One tool Veach can use to create cap space is restructuring some current Chiefs’ contracts. Restructuring can provide some immediate relief but is not the ultimate fix. Teams who restructure contracts are not escaping the cap hit but kicking it down the road. However, the Chiefs might have only one choice this offseason to retain their Super Bowl roster. If the Chiefs have to restructure contracts this offseason, who are the best options, and how much space would they free up? Patrick Mahomes—Potential 2023 cap savings: $33.5 million Mahomes’ contract is set up to be restructured multiple times. That is the plan. Follow the plan. The Chiefs needed flexibility when signing him to a 10-year, $450 million deal. The bulk of Mahomes’ contract comes in roster bonuses that keep Mahomes a wealthy man while giving Kansas City that flexibility. The agreement is the quintessential win-win and benefits the team and the player. Sure, more restructuring could cause more problems for the Chiefs. But, the savings are undeniable. Kansas City could sign multiple players with those savings alone. That money could sign Clark’s replacement, lock down a left tackle to protect Mahomes, or retain the Chiefs’ pending free agents. Veach restructuring Mahomes’ deal this offseason is the quickest way for Kansas City to get more cap space. Justin Reid—Potential 2023 cap savings: $4.1 million Reid is entering the second year of his contract, and this one-time restructuring option is one the Chiefs should take. • NFL: 27 most likely non-QB future Hall of Famers • NFL Draft: 30 worst first-round picks of the 21st century • Every NFL team's worst trade of all-time (Updated) • One NFL player you forgot played for your favorite team Reid lived up to expectations in the first year of his three-year, $31 million contract and was Kansas City’s top safety en route to another Super Bowl. He certainly has room to grow, but there is no reason Kansas City should explore moving on from Reid anytime soon. The Chiefs can create a solid amount of cap space by restructuring Reid’s contract, but would virtually ensure Reid remains with the Chiefs for the life of his contract. It ends after the 2024 season, so it is not a staggering commitment, but still one nonetheless. If the Chiefs have Reid in their plan beyond 2023, restructuring his contract is a no-brainer. Marquez Valdes-Scantling—Potential 2023 cap savings: $3.8 million Valdes-Scantling is worthy of release talk this offseason, but all signs point to Kansas City staying committed to the receiver. The Chiefs could save $9 million if they cut Valdes-Scantling this offseason. But, in a booming wide receiver market, the Chiefs would struggle to find his replacement on the open market. The receiver corps is already thin, and Valdes-Scantling already has a season’s worth of building a relationship with Mahomes. He is more valuable on the team than off it to Kansas City. Reports say the Chiefs want to retain as much pass-catching corps as possible in 2023. Kansas City can keep MVS in Arrowhead while opening up more cap space this offseason if they want.
  11. Well we did get Creed in the 2nd round and our rg in the 6th.... I do think OT is our pick though unless they go in an early run. I would like to see dt or De in FA and RT. 2 of the 3 and go into the draft with our picks to move up if need be.
  12. He was released today. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35828218/source-vikings-release-adam-thielen-storied-run
  13. Thielen released https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35828218/source-vikings-release-adam-thielen-storied-run
  14. Not guaranteed a 3rd in comp though. If we pick up a good amount of FAs ourselves it could mean a lesser comp pick. Who knows though as they have never said what the formula is for the process.
  15. I read it was the comp pick for Hughes that was canceled with what we picked up.
  16. Guess we did not get anything for Fenton trade to Atlanta. Poles pick, number 100 as you said went for Toney trade. Picks we have now. 31 63 95 122 134 168 197 217 227 251 250 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft
