Balto 723 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Would you be for or against this move? ---Seattle are reportedly asking for a 1st round but Cowboys offered a 3rd. What if we can get him for a 2nd+5th ---Thomas also wants to get paid, so what about a Eric Berry type contract? Say we offer him a 4 year $52M with $27M guaranteed. This would tie him with Berry for highest paid safety in the NFL. This would give us the best Safety duo the NFL has ever seen and locks it up for the next 4 years WHILE Pat is on his Rookie contract costing peanuts. Who's with me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

oldtimer 8,694 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 you are not very good at budgeting are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm actually a Financial advisor haha. The reason this makes sense is because we are not paying a QB $25+ million. I guess I could come back at you and say you are not very good at remembering how well this strategy worked for teams like Seattle to win a Super Bowl!

kkuenn 3,608 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Rather we sign our own players next year to extensions coming up than to a 30 year old safety this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Thomas was still in his rookie contract back in 2013 as well.... your the one with a memory issue..both him, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor & Wilson were on Rookie contracts as were Baldwin and Golden Tate their WR's they caught lightning in a bottle https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sea/2013_roster.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 No way. We need to find a young cheap safety. IMO putting Murray and Watt on the shelf this season would be a mistake. This is a building year where we aren’t going to the SB. Split time with Murray and Watts to see who, if either, is your starter in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 One overpaid safety is enough thank you. Good safeties can be found in the draft pretty easy. That's why so many vets are on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we as Chiefs fans are not use to having cap room sooooo I get it haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Earl Thomas has been the best safety in the NFL since he came into the league in my opinion. But you don't trade valuable cheap draft picks to take on a big salary and what will almost certainly be a soon to be declining player. Especially when your amid developing a young team with a 22 year old QB for a long term run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 ET want's to be a Cowboy. I know if he's traded he may have no say but I prefer players who want to be here versus being forced to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,781 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 He is probably looking for the last massive contract he will ever get and is at an age where he likely only has three big years left, if that, given games missed the last two years. I’d pass, especially when draft picks are involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck we already have it at safety. Personally other than possibly a 1 year band aid I want to try and develop young talent at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
