Lamardirts 2,114 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 1 hour ago, oldtimer said: what happens IF OBJ does not sign the tag? Yea I get he dont play or get paid but what's plan B for the Chiefs? Draft one? As it's been said before he has the Chiefs by the danglers. Tagging him keeps him off the open market and gives the team time to sign a long term deal. They offered him way more than any of us were comfortable with so apparently they like him. I think this is one position they will throw some money at to keep it from being a need. I also think his play down the stretch is more indicative of his normal play. Gotta think they will offer him something similar to last year which is in line with is play and maybe add that 3rd year guaranteed with some weight stipulations. I think Veach and Andy want to do into this draft being able to draft BPA in every round. If this way off and they want to tag him because they have doubts this year is a great year to draft a LT at the end of the first and let them develop a year. Duncan, Jones, Harrison, Freeland, Wright all in that last first to second round range. IIRC all tall long armed tackles that Andy loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I'm curious about what the asking price for OBJ would be in case of a tag & trade. I doubt any team would sign him outright after the non-exclusive tag but Veach would definitely be tempted with a decent offer/picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know I'm not a draft nerd I think it is. There isn't a lot of top end guys but the guys I mentioned are all mocked last first and 2nd round. They are all tall and I believe have long wingspans something even good tackle drafts don't always have. They are upside guys but need some work which is why we could get them in that range. I do agree its not a strong LT year. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did offer him a crazy rich deal last year so apparently Veach and Co like him and I can't imagine that has changed with how he finished the year. I'm preparing myself for some insane deal that appears to be a drastic overpay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they are looking into it all on this too. At one time we had one of the worst tackles for giving up pressures etc. Will he gamble on himself again and hope to stay healthy? We will see.

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think they will draft the best available OT and let him play a lot to see if they can let Brown leave in 2024. Tag him in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBJ bet on himself and it appears he won Need to draft a replacement that will start on the right side this year and take over after this one. OBJ is a guaranteed tag IMO and I don't see him staying beyond the tag. If he doesn't play nice with the tag the rookie may need to start earlier than expected. Not sure if there are any stop gap FAs available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCWEST 1,238 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hardman has surgery on his groin. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-update-given-on-kansas-city-chiefs-wide-receiver-who-had-surgery/ar-AA17Lol0?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=23f9e89f9edd4568995f8c728cf16998 I think he tests the waters but ends up back in KC on a one year prove it deal. My take is he will get a much bigger contract by putting up a big year with Mahomes and Co. He is familiar with the concepts and more likely to have confidence here vs going somewhere else. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he has more shot at incentives than a decent deal from day one. Needs to stay healthy and perform for a t least a full year before getting paid. I think KC will give him the same treatment they give other in-house WRs, test the market and come back cheap for a year if you can't find anything.

oldtimer 8,684 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Over The Cap projects that McKinnon will earn an annual salary of $4 million in 2023. He earned $1.035 million in 2022 with the Chiefs, and the year prior, the team used the veteran salary benefit to sign McKinnon. A recent report from NFL Network’s James Palmer suggests that even in the twilight of his career, loyalty might come into play for McKinnon re-signing in Kansas City. Palmer said McKinnon confided in him that the Chiefs were the only team interested in his services after his time in San Francisco. “Two years ago, when he was leaving San Francisco, he thought his career was over,” Palmer said of McKinnon. “He got one phone call, and that was from Chiefs general manager Brett Veach to bring him in.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I would like us to extend Chris Jones and make his 2023 hit very reasonable. Cut Clark and save 21 mil. Restructure Mahomes only if needed. We have around 11 mil right now in cap space. That with Jones saving us say 18 mil ( he counts 30 againat the cap in his last year so just saying 18 as of now), plus Clark's 21 mil can give us 50 mil without doing anything else. Bring back who we can, Juju, Dunlap and go from there. Sign 2 of these possible players, maybe a DE but I think we make a good splash for at least one top FA. I also could see us going after a run stuffing type LB. Think Lavonte David or Wagner type Kaleb McGary, OT, Falcons (age: 27) McGary had a dominant run-blocking season in his big breakout with Atlanta and should command a top-of-market deal should the team not keep its right tackle Dalvin Tomlinson, DT, Vikings (age: 28) Tomlinson is one of the league's most disruptive interior pass-rushers, and he's also solid against the run. Jessie Bates III, S, Bengals (age: 25) Bates is an excellent run-stopper who won't return to Cincinnati after being franchise-tagged in 2023. He is also is reliable in coverage. Javon Hargrave, DT, Eagles (age: 29) Hargrave's job is to get upfield and get to the quarterback with inside pressure. He has done that well for three seasons in Philadelphia, as evidenced by his 11 career sacks. Then draft for DE, WR and other depth for development like TE and needs now or the following year.

Not sure where you got those cap numbers but I read that we are 3 million over the cap. And that the most we could save is around 20 million. Let me see if I can find that.

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 They will get more space through another cut or two and by re-stucturing some contract. In all practicality, we should count on around 30 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
