FANATIC 852 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Chiefs signed C Austin Reiter to an extension. Reiter was claimed off waivers in September. He held his own in four starts with Mitch Morse sidelined and gives Kansas City some interior line depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,613 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Nice. If we let Morse go and he signs somewhere else we might get a comp pick. Draft or FA center and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Smart move, not sure how many more concussions Morse can get before he starts thinking about his future, if he isn't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Smart move he has been playing very well. I wonder if they are viewing him as the 2019 starter or depth but sure nice to have on the roster. Morse is already done in the NFL and may be tries again with a new team but not sure if he should with so many concussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who exactly do you think started at center last Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he's released or there's anything stopping him from officially getting on the field but he had way too many concussions to be a viable FA option for anyone.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Morse is a better player but again this goes back to the availability issue. We want to stop handing out sizable contracts to players who can't keep themselves on the field. But in fairness to Morse, this concussion was a complete cheap shot by the Patriots. Pretty much anyone would have sustained a concussion from what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Insurance against losing Morse in FA in case somebody offers Morse more than we want to pay. Either way, it's quality depth on the OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's quality depth on the OL. Considering that they tried to sign a high priced OC last year I'm not sure if the staff is keen on keeping Morse or simply worried about his availability. That being said the FA OC market is very thin in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of sources for it when looking it up like https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2018/03/19/chiefs-had-interest-in-bucs-center-ryan-jensen/ Mostly twitter feeds of "experts".

jetlord 10,210 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Is Reiter penciled in at starting next year, of did he just earn a back up role and insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Not that far from Erving in terms of mentality. Cheap 1-year deal with a shot at a bonus going forward. It basically screams "he's not a starter but who knows". Good insurance policy though regardless. Hopefully Lucas is the next RFA we take care of before the distractions of playoffs.

jetlord 10,210 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Is Lucas good or does he just benefit from the comparison with Parker and Murray? It would be good to see more of him in the games, but there must be some reason, other than the fact that Sutton is incompetent, that he doesn't get more snaps. Can the Chiefs get by with Berry, Watts, Lucas, and a draft choice next year if Berry is healthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
