Chiefs offseason thread
-
The chiefs having used their first 4 and most important picks of the draft on defense is somewhat worrisome to me. They are basically putting all the chips on offense to EBs return and Walker getting the run game above average. I still don’t like our receiver ing corps much at all. You don’t have a true number 1 or a guy defenses have to game plan around. Caldwell looks like a great pick up on paper but after hearing about how great Royals was last season during camp to never see the field I won’t trust anything til I see someone showing up on game days.

@kjayhawks2.0 JD was one of several undrafted players to sign 3 year contracts that actually provide more guaranteed money than many drafted players (6th/7th rds) will get. $272,500 for 3. Not much compared to getting a nice draft slot, but NIL doesn't last forever. If they make a team and stay active, players get at least the league min of a lot more (> $800,000 per year, I believe).

Here is a list of players either signed by the Chiefs as UFAs or invited to their rookie camp:

Peter Woods is just another defensive tackle

Wait...I just found something

I suppose I must retract my previous statement.

It will be good to hear about draft of other teams from their fans

Looks like the dumb ass of the year award goes to ... Rashee Rice.
Already on probation from the 400 mph car racing wreck, now he's broken the terms of his probation by smoking a little weed, and is headed to the pokey for 30 days.
And it seems like he had knee surgery. Not a promising start to the season!

@rockchalkjayhawk Chiefs can save $1.6 mil on the cap, with a dead money hit of only $430,000, if they cut him. I'm all for it. Idiots gonna idiot, as they say.
-
@mayjay if he wasn't on probation could he legally smoke weed? IDK.

Yea, weed, but it was part of his probation rules and regs I guess. No weed. I'm sure he was aware.
I mean he's an athlete, so not expecting scholarly behavior, but it pays to be smarter than the joint you're about to smoke.
Tough call on cutting him. He's the best receiver KC has.

This is where I am at. It's not the weed, the weed is whatever. It's that he simply can't stay out of trouble.

Just a little edit for completeness!

Was looking at some ESPN fantasy football projections, and wondered what others thought of this:
Rashee Rice / 1,132 yards and 9 TDs.
Guessing that's on the high side?
-
Looks like the Chiefs added another body to the O Line.
The Giants are sending guard Joshua Ezeudu to the Chiefs, Jordan Schultz reports. Kansas City will give up a 2028 seventh-round pick in the swap.
-
Odd trade. The weak spot looks like RT.

Well if the Chiefs are going to be good, he’ll have to have this type of season.

Coudn't figure out where else to post this ... Daniels making some noise in Tampa Bay.

The chiefs have announced there 53 man roster as of today. One of the biggest surprises to me is them keeping Remigio over Armstrong as a WR/KR. I think having a guy that solely catches kickoffs and punts becomes a waste of a roster spot. Armstrong had a solid preseason while Remigio whom is sure handed won’t make an impact in the passing game. He is going to fair catch the ball 89% of the time to begin with. Since signing with the chiefs in 2024 Remigio has appeared at the WR spot a total of 7 games and made 3 receptions. I think Smith and Worthy should be returning kicks. As it is important to note the chiefs rank 31st in the NFL right now as the a team that hasn’t scored a special teams touchdown since 2020. Only the raiders are worse. My biggest concern continues to be this WR corps and the offensive line pending on Simmons and Smith injuries. The WR corps maybe the worst collectively in the NFL this season.

Yea, the Chiefs seem to have a few glaring holes to fill somehow. Maybe they can plug a few with some pickups tomorrow, I hope at least.
WR— Rice ( and Kelce ) have to be super productive. Worthy seems serviceable, but could break in half at any moment. The rest, meh. There are a few bigger name waiver wire wrs out there. I wouldn’t mind a run at Cedric Tillman. He can’t be as bad as he’s been. Maybe a decent QB can help.
As for remigio, also meh. He was about in the middle of the pack league wide on his return averages? I would hope there’s somebody better out there. Armstrong just doesn’t fit the Andy mold for a WR.
OL— Simmons. Hmmm. I hope he’s just got a small back tweak. Otherwise we got big issues with him out and no obvious RT at the moment. Starting to wonder if other teams were smart to pass on Simmons? Fingers crossed he’s back and stable.
I think KC has improved since last year. Hopefully enough to be competitive.
As for Mahomes, man I’d like to see him fully healed before jumping into a game. Seems premature.
