Balto 723 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Can't be just money can it? I have always liked DeCastro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I guess the last 3 years he has gone down and is trending down when he had been a 80-90 type of PFF guy his entire career minus the past 3. Maybe age has just caught up with him /shrug. DeCastro PFF: 2020: 64.1 2019: 71.1 2018: 74.8 2017: 90 2016: 83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 NO ROOM on this roster. Lamardirts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If Smith isn't ready to take over from LDT I would definitely look to bring a healthy DeCastro as the stop gap. Could push LDT to backup role and Wylie out of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 He isn’t playing for vet min and isn’t the same guy. Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 one thing we all should know by now is that if there is any way that he can help this team they will at least kick the tires, if he is not any type of upgrade at all then veach will not waste his time Iluvhouse24 and Lamardirts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Here's guessing that DeCastro is retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would you cut to make room for a declining lineman who is injured and on the brink of retiring? oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I wouldn’t mind seeing Wylie replaced. But it would have to be a cheap deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade Wylie for a future seventh. The Chiefs still have about 13-14 O-linemen on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 He sounds like he is in the same boat as Schwartz. Retire unless he somehow heals 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine playing football with that. You can get em ground off surgically though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Definitely something to bounce back from but at DeCastro's age I'm not sure if he would be inclined to do so or how long it would take after the surgery. Any surgery is much harder for linemen due to size but the prospect of a ring could get him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuJu is too young to be lured with just the promise of a ring and Williams seems to be more focused on the money. That being said the prospect of a ring may not be as powerful of a variable in the equation as some of us (like me) think. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still has perfect hands and we lack a possession receiver, I would imagine it's a perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats where Kelce comes into the equation..just a hunch here but teams with mediocre TE's need a PWR..Chiefs have theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him be our X while Powell learns the ropes from a HOF. Not expecting eye popping numbers, but he could still keep a corner busy on one side of the field.
