[oldtimer 8,686]

Damien Williams informed the club of his decision to opt out of the 2020

[Iluvhouse24 1,808]

I'm beginning to think Veach is psychic.

Adds what?  Another $2-$2.5M to our cap

His career is over in KC. No way he will make the team next year. See Ya

Wonder if a team can trade a player that has opted out

[Adamixoye 604]

Contracts roll over, but what's our dead money if we cut him for 2021?

Zero it looks like.  Seems guarantees DONT roll over

[AFCWEST 1,238]

Loved Williams playoff performance BUT....its more the KC offense that makes an average back look good. Williams is maybe even below avg. He probably did not want to compete with the EXTREMELY TALENTED #1 Pick. He saved face. Chiefs have a full house at RB. I predict Williams will never start for any NFL team. Hes a back-up player and KC new that.

This kinda sucks, dude is an excellent 3rd down back, but we will roll on

[Biggjliv4 1,292]

Its a shame, I think he starts the first month and is solid rotational back. Fact is CEH is a rookie who is going to have to learn how to pass protect in the NFL. Hate to lose the depth because he did shine when needed.

Yes and yet Hunt was a star day one. Im glad Clyde gets to play NOW & not wait. The other backs are as good as Williams.

Yup.  He was a very disposable player, and I can't help but feel like drafting a RB so early played a big part in this.  Instead of losing his job he can claim to have voluntarily sat and try to go contract shopping next year.  Not a wise move IMO.

The 2 players we've had opt out so far are probably the best case scenario for the franchise.  The only downside is that it pushes their contracts off another year.

Thanks for a memorable post season Damien. Chiefs Nation will never forget. Good luck in your next adventure.

Yes I know. Im not dissing him for opting out. Im stating that Clyde will be the man with Thompson and others going forward. I dont think KC needs him a season from now. They used their number one pick for a reason.

[jetlord 10,209]

That sound you hear in the background is Thompson doing a happy dance. 

....and Darrel

...and Washington.

Naaaaaaaaaah

If we're ranking them it's (1) Pat (2) Stone Cold (3) an assortment of offensive players that includes Williams, Kelce, Watkins, and Hill, though Williams is at the top of that tier.

Williams' numbers look a lot better because of the final TD where he should have just taken a knee.

Scoring the TD was more fun but they run out the clock if he goes down after the first down.  Instead they gave them the ball back with a sliver of hope.

Not sure about that, as SF had the ball after the TD and ran a few plays before the INT... and then it took us all four plays and a deep ball to run out the clock. 

That TD was sweet... and enabled all of us to relax and enjoy the last few minutes of the game knowing it was over.

KC would have had a first down on say  the 5 yard line and could of run out the clock. SF I think had one time out left. Could have also kicked a field goal.
