Chiefswinitall 60 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 .https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2018/04/24/chiefs-and-rakeem-nunez-roches-could-be-working-towards-long-term-deal/ . By: Charles Goldman | 8 hours ago Chiefs defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches is one of the only NFL restricted free agents who has yet to sign his free agent tender. Now, there is some conflicting reporting on this situation as Spotrac has Nunez-Roches signing a contract early last month. “MAR 14 2018 Signed a 1 year $1.907 million contract with Kansas City (KC)” This is interesting because Nunez-Roches reported to the Chiefs’ facility for offseason training already. So it would seem that he has either signed a contract with the team or he is working toward one. Restricted free agency allows for players to negotiate with other teams after a team places a tender on them. Nunez-Roches received a low-round tender, which means that it wouldn’t cost another team draft capital to sign him. Teams can no longer sign restricted free agents, though. The period in which teams could negotiate with the Chiefs defensive lineman has expired. As of April 20, Nunez-Roches can no longer negotiate with other NFL teams. This means that his rights have officially reverted back to the Chiefs and they have exclusivity over his negotiations.

Nunez-Roches still appears to be extremely committed to the Chiefs and his teammates. Just take a peek at his social media and you’ll get the idea of the type of player and teammate he is. Whatever the contract situation is, it is safe to say that Nunez-Roches will remain a Chief. Chiefs Kingdom definitely echoes his sentiments in the tweet above: bring on the NFL Draft and bring home a Super Bowl ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nacho is a guy the coaches love. Evidently he's a bundle of energy. He's been decent overall. Certainly replaceable but most guys are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm not sure I see a long term deal. This means his offer from Kc hasn't technically been signed as he was able to negotiate with other teams until the 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMO 6,812 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I like Nacho. Don’t think his play warrants a long term deal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I wouldn't pay a ton but he's been decent enough to hang around. Good role player. Doubt he'll ever get a huge contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 These are the kind of signings that usually shock us. Probably 4-5 years and 20-30 million or something crazy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,017 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 When he was healthy last year, I thought he had some really good games. I know Andy really likes him. I’d sign him long term for sure, but not at some huge number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I wouldn't mind giving him a long term deal for a decent amount. Not sure if he's ready to be a starter or ever will be but a decent rotational guy is always useful. We benefited from existence of guys like Abdullah, a similar approach for RNR makes sense IMO.

Balto 723 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I’d give him a 4 year $12M contract Who knows....maybe he blows up this year. Would rather lock him down now vs Houston/Berry him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Warparty 69 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 He looked great in preseason but not in regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Nacho is great depth and a solid but unspectacular starter. Great locker room guy. I would like to lock him up, but not for Bailey money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I wouldn't give him anything beyond 2 years. He's a guy that's pretty replaceable if you're confident in your scouting department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
