Hyde, Robinson, X.Williams, and Sorenson don't have much trade value and at best could net a late round pick in the future. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 3 hours ago, FANATIC said: DARWIN THOMPSONRB, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS The Kansas City Star's Brooke Pryor reports rookie Darwin Thompson has leaped Carlos Hyde on the depth chart and has been getting goal-line work with the first-team offense. Pryor is the latest Chiefs beat writer to leave Hyde off her 53-man roster projection, keeping Thompson along with Damien and Darrel Williams. Thompson has been so good this preseason, and Hyde has been as bad as Thompson has been good. All Hyde has going for him is his veteran presence; he doesn't play special teams, either. Thompson is picking up big-time steam as a late-round fantasy pick. It's going to be tough to keep him off the field. Maybe Darrel Williams is cut vs Hyde?

That’s certainly possible, but I feel like the Chiefs would lean to their own - younger guy in Williams over the known quantity of Hyde. At this point in their careers Williams likely has more upside and has two full off-seasons and a regular season in the system under his belt. I am happy to hear Thompson is working his way up he depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrel is the short yardage guy and I think he is worth more than Hyde for that reason alone. Right now, I have Hyde off the roster and unless he does something positive against the Niners, he could be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the signing of Allen probably means they keep nine O-line and the only way four RBs fit is if the Chiefs keep only two TEs. I think Hyde would be the obvious cut to make room.

Perhaps. Seems they have decided one of the oline guys is not ready. I like the allen signing & think one of the current guys is gone or PS. There are always those guys available off the street if needed. Hope not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alligretti and McKenzie are considered high upside guys. Allen was brought in because the Chiefs don't think those two are ready if a starter goes down. Erving is a back up for tackle (ugh!) and will be cut next year. I'm guessing nine O-line on the final roster with McKenzie inactive for most of the games.

JMHO I was thinking along the lines of trading demarcus robinson for someones 3rd cornerback. Something like that. or trade our 7th o lineman for your 4th linebacker to see if a scenery change could help both teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With today's schemes, the third CB is nearly a starter. Not sure who the Chiefs' seventh lineman is. Ogbah or X. Williams might be expendable but doubt they would net much in return. Would the Chiefs get someone worth more than Nieman or Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically teams kind of know the strong areas of other teams roster. Chiefs are strong at wr and will call a team strong at cb and say lets swap players we are going to cut so we dont have to compete to sign them as free agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team isn't giving up anything they need in exchange for a player not needed on another team, it's a win-win without risking a third team snapping up what you want. Low risk to get some help at a needy position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FANATIC 852 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 CARLOS HYDERB, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS Carlos Hyde worked exclusively with the backups at Chiefs camp Monday. As was the case on Sunday. Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson, and Darrell Williams have all consistently received reps ahead of Hyde since the team's third preseason game, undoubtedly spelling the end of the veteran's tenure in red and white once final cuts occur Saturday. Hyde's next suitor will be his fifth team in the last two seasons. It wouldn't be shocking to see him land as Lamar Miller's replacement in Houston by this time next week.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think Hyde is gone. He would have had to land the #2 spot to stick IMO. Smith is a long shot, but I would put money on him over Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,209 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Cody was probably on the roster until DAT come to town. Now it's less certain. Either Pringle or Cody Thompson should make it, but whether both do is the question and if only one, which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
