Holmes4six! 968 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I’m concerned about DE. Veach revamped o line in one offseason so let’s see what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they are still available. The league is waiting for them to come back to reality. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Except for Gilmore at a friendly price. I hope the Chiefs wait until after the draft to deal with any on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Gilmore and Fuller (for a prove-it deal) could be decent options for us. Ingram is basically a must IMO but don't know what's going on with that situation. The rest will likely be too expensive to make any sense but most would be good additions for a post-draft cheap contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram visited with quite a few teams this time last year and didn't sign until mid July. As Veach has said, some of these older vets will want to wait until after mandatory offseason, which they don't really need. In the meantime they gauge interest and contract numbers and figure it our later. I think a team would have to go above his asking price and pay a premium to get him in now when he'd be subject to mandatory OTA's. oldtimer and Lamardirts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is just that but would suck if someone snatches him away. Perfect fit from day one with great production, tough to find that around. Would feel more comfortable if we signed him before the draft with a bunch of bonuses for OTAs that he can ignore at will (or get paid to attend).

If he is gone...all we have is clarkenstien. Not good. Building the defense in one offseason maybe a harder than the o line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can claim in on business decisions (which there were a ton) but I believe even Spags moved him out of that spy/robber roll more this last year because of that. Love his leadership but its time to pull the plug. He lost only a half step it looked like to me. He would still be a big asset out there, especially his knowledge and leadership, directing guys to the right spot, etc. just not quite the guy from two years ago. I'd take him in an instant if the price were right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they can decide in the summer whichever team meets closest to his price. I'd sure like to see him next to Justin Reid, but probably won't be the money for that.

Holmes4six! 968 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 If HB comes back for a 1 year cheap deal then so be it but I’m not losing sleep about it. I like Reid and Thornhill combo. we need players at other positions more than HB. sith13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s 10+, I would probably focus on CB and Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we land a solid prospect in something like 3rd I don't think HB will be a viable option but if we don't find what we are looking for or only find project-type guys then HB could be the go-to FA but still I don't think he will want a short term deal.

Bad news for the Chiefs but they probably couldn't outbid the Colts. Maybe now they can afford Ingram. Can't count on rookies in every position if the Chiefs going to contend.
