moons314 2,463 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Great to see that the super bowl debacle rattled some cages. I was really concerned that they were gonna chalk up the super bowl to bad luck with backups. It’s not Reid’s style, but it’d be nice to get some road graders on the line. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Why did Veach do his announcement about Schwartz and Fish being ready for TC? Didn't seem logical at the time ad doesn't make sense now. Probably both were released because the Chiefs are a little behind on renegotiating the cap down and they have to meet the cap numbers by next Weds. This may allow them a little wiggle room to avoid cutting anyone else and resign a few of their own FAs such as Taco or Breeland. With or without a major FA signing at OT, this certainly reinforces the need to go OT in the first round of the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The way that Veach started they will both be part of the Chiefs history indicates to me that this is not one of those "we make look at you later on the cheap" route deals. He's looking ahead, period. Really sucks to the degree injuries happen and they were cornerstone to the line. But shit happens and the show goes on. Took years to get a good RT... now we need an entire line hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm curious if they already have a FA on the hook that had been released and that made these moves happen today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palangi 788 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Start Niang at RT Sign Roderick Johnson to LT Draft a future guy to learn or if he beats out johnson then Johnson is a swing guy LT- Johnson LG- Rankin C - Allegretti RG Durant RT- Niang A RG should be looked at in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is touching Fish for a year so how is releasing him a negative? Schwartz is the unknown, really could go either way, but it's going to take time to heal and get in game shape. So again, what were we to do? Keep a name to have a name around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Schwarzt doesn't surprise me, but releasing Fisher does a little. Hate to see them both go out this way, but I like the move if it means they have something in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It is a business decision. Lot of money tied up in injured guys. If they were healthy, they probably restructure them. But they are both reaching end of deals and may not play much next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extend Honey Badger to gain another $10M and we are sitting well below the cap. I do wonder if Veach had this planned along and actually resigns both or at least Fisher at a cheaper contract. Also can get 17 million more with Mahomes by converting his to signing bonus. I think we go after Williams at LT and roll with Niang at RT. Draft a Center and good to go. Also can see us going after TE, DE, LB or WR in FA as a second big signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is paying Williams the smart thing? Get into a bidding war with SF, and end up spending 50 mill over 3 yrs. Then the 33 year old tears his acl in camp. The rest of the offseason would be digging for scraps as he'd take the bulk of our cap space. It's an incredibly deep tackle class. Sign a 1 yr like Reiff or Okung and draft one with upside that will be on a rookie contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a guy for 4 years now and playing at a high level, I think you do it. SF has shit for cap space. If not Williams there are others as shown still. I think we get a high C pick and them go with a T when we can get one. If not, always future drafts. Other side is they may go cheap on a one year deal and spend on DE, WR or TE. Some good players will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get into a bidding war. I like Roderick Johnson as a back up. Still young, 25, and has played both sides so he could be a swing tackle too if a rookie beats him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish blew an Achilles less than 2 months ago and Schwartz just had back surgery. You can't really have them be the plan for 2021 tackles. I'm sure they hated to have to do that. Yep. They didn't want to release them. They had to. They have a team to run. I wish both of them the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
