KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Ed Easton Jr. 17 hours ago The Kansas City Chiefs are still looking to retool their roster this offseason in hopes of making another Super Bowl run. The positions of need are always discussed on the defensive side of the roster. All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu was a vital addition to the Chiefs defense last season quickly emerging as a team leader. Mathieu appears to be taking his role to another level as an unofficial recruiter for the Super Bowl LIV champions. Mathieu has attempted to convince free agent Chris Harris Jr. to join him next season in the Chiefs’ secondary. During a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Harris Jr. revealed that he’s been in touch with Mathieu regarding a possible team-up in Kansas City. “[He says] just come up there, man,” Harris Jr. told TMZ Sports. “Play with him, be able to do what I’ve done in the past — play everywhere on the field, and also play with a great quarterback!” Harris Jr. is a four-time Pro Bowler and was a member of the Super Bowl 50 champion Denver Broncos. He’s still amongst the elite defensive backs in the league and could be a great fit in Kansas City as a veteran signing. “I’m really just looking for the best situation,” Harris Jr. said during his interview with TMZ Sports.”Of course, you want a team that’s going to pay you and appreciate you, one, and then also how they’re going to use me.” Mathieu has shown to be reliable and studied in the needs of a championship-ready secondary. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach may have other options on his mind, but it wouldn’t hurt to acknowledge what his star defender is trying to accomplish by recruiting Harris Jr. to the team.

I would guess Chiefs are planning on 1 yr deals to fill out the roster, and then a bunch of comp picks when guys sign elsewhere. dksww 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEWIZARD 247 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 They might be better off resigning Breeland instead. oldtimer and sith13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrow 529 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Put me in the camp that doesn't really want Chris Harris. His play significantly diminished when he moved outside from his normal spot in the slot, plus he costs too much to have that type of return.

Maybe sign one Tier 2 type player but would not be shocked if we got guys on 1 yr prove it deals. Would love if the Chiefs could keep Pennel and Ogbah.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 He was a great player but age has caught up with him and he's too old to sign a one year prove it deal as he's already 31 (i think). Glad the Chargers overpaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hate to break it to you guys but Chargers did not overpay. Hell trufant got slightly more than that and he's been hurt. That's about going rate for a player like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 2-year deal for Harris is a good move for the Chargers as they didn't really over-commit. He's a shutdown guy who'll be productive for at least this year and next might be useful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
