jetlord 10,209 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Signed with N.O. for $14.5 million over three years. Good for him. The Chiefs couldn't pay that much but I hate to see him go. He came on well last year and sure could move for his size. Lamardirts, West and qnet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boone 304 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Bummer...it sure looked like he was ascending (even though the elbow injury stunted him for a year), was hoping we'd keep him. Good for him, though. He'll see some familiar faces in NO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moons314 2,463 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 14 over 3 is peanuts in the nfl. I would’ve given that to keep him here. If nothing else he was solid depth. Fastest moving man I’ve ever seen that was that large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 What a cool dude. Glad he got his bag. I think his best years are yet to come. However, for being a 3rd round pick we didn't get a lot of production (The elbow played a big part of that and wasn't his fault) but we did when it mattered most this year. His sack in the SB was a huge play in that game. Hate to lose him now but understand the business side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Should have kept him for that much. Opens up a big hole at DL but I'm guessing there's a plan in place. Otherwise Chiefs just estimated his value wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB, OBJ, Ward, Hill etc. I think he will be fine. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Ryan Sims, Junior Siavii, tank and Turk, etc, Saunders was an amazing value for a 3rd rounder. His best days are definitely ahead of him.

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I wanted to bring saunders back on a deal similar to this, but o well. As long as the plan isn’t to bring nnadi back i think we will be fine oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
