Chiefs signings

I saw this last night, pondered a bit. IMO adding Mecole Hardman solves nothing, adds more chaos to the lack of a true No. 1 WR issue.
Would i take him? sure?? Maybe he can be a deep threat, but seems more like a catch and run gadget mostly. He’s got more experience than the rest of our crew, so he’s got that going for him!
And i see that Van Jefferson was offloaded by the Rams. Interesting.
-
Agree with @rockchalkjayhawk I don’t think it really helps the chiefs at this point. To me he is the same guy as Sky Moore, they have to hand him off the ball repeatedly to get him touches because he has drop issues. The chiefs currently lead the NFL in dropped passes and Hardman doesn’t help that IMO. If you could trade for a Mike Evan type I’d be interested in that him being in the last year of his contract.
-
Sounds like Mecole Hardman is on his way back to Kansas City.
Thoughts?
-
me likes me some mecole.
-
If he’s healthy, ️
-
It’s not costly with minimal cap hit
I like the move, he knows the system and can provide deep threat.
-
Yeah, price seems right and just for the year if it don’t work out
-
Well, I’d like to take back anything I may have said negatively about adding Mecole.
Totally forgot he could be a return man, too!
-
And with Bolton out, does that open the door for Frank Clark?

Different position.
-
Any news on Bolton? His replacement is good. He was hurting!

Yea, we seem to be deep at LB, so thought it opened up a roster spot.

Dislocated wrist.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I just saw that. Gonna need that wrist!

Chiefs are deep enough at pass rusher that I don’t really think they should bother with Clark. I think he is worse than just about everyone else at the roster for that.
-
Chiefs signed DL and former Chief Mike Pennel to practice squad, and released Dan Arias, a WR. No word on Frank Clark that I could find. Maybe they are waiting for info on his machine gun inventory?
-
@mayjay medical tests
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Nope… Instead:
-
Ah, thought he was a Chief for sure. That’s fine though.
-
Chiefs DL and pass rush of Jones, Charles, Dana and George will be problematic for other teams.
They can come at you from any place, interchangeable.
I like what Cullen has done with the group.
-
Cullen has been a major signing. His work with the line has been fantastic!
-
No action for the Chiefs today. Looks like Mecole was the big in-season acquisition.
Anybody feel like we needed another piece to the puzzle?
-
At the right price WR or LB would have been good.
LB position has suddenly changed from a position of strength to potential weakness due to injuries.
Regardless there are no glaring holes and team has talent at every position.
They need to avoid beating themselves.
-
@AsadZ They resigned LB Darius Harris for depth.
Not signing Hopkins when they had the opportunity is a miss, but he likely didn’t fit under the cap. He would have fit under the cap in a trade though with tenn eating his signing bonus. But you hate to give up much draft capital for a rental player.
-
Yea, LB has suddenly turned into an issue.

@dylans said in Chiefs signings:
Shane getting cut is a surprise, but he looked bad against the 1st string last preseason game (chiefs 2 vs browns 1s). Wentz must be gaining traction - with the new rule allowing a 3rd inactive qb to enter the game if the first two get hurt, I would be surprised if most teams don’t roster three qbs
Color me surprised.

Ruh Roh.
Matt Araiza is on course for an NFL return. The former Bills punter agreed to a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Thursday, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. Araiza’s agency has confirmed the move.
The Bills waived the 2022 sixth-round pick in August 2022, after it was alleged he was involved in a gang rape of a minor. Araiza, 23, has since been cleared of criminal charges, and an investigation into the 2021 incident on the San Diego State campus did not produce a connection involving Araiza, who has also been dropped from a lawsuit pertaining to the matter. He has periodically surfaced on the NFL radar as a result, but the former All-American had not previously caught on with a team since his controversial Buffalo exit
-
Townsend’s time is most likely over. I like him and a bit bummed to see him go.
-
The Chiefs have had a good run of punters for sure. I know the guy was cleared, but for KU fans, there are eerie ties to Arterio. Fingers crossed.

Why is it eerie ties to Arterio? The case against Araiza was dropped because the girl admitted she lied about being gang raped. Araiza’s situation is much closer to the Duke LaCrosse case than Arterio’s case.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Probably because he admitted to nailing a 17 year old while he had chlamydia in the side yard before the gang rape (that he was not present for). Not guilt doesn’t equate to innocence unfortunately.

Doesn’t really seem like a reach to say a guy involved in rape and gang rape allegations is similar to Arterio. You can remove his name if you’d like. It’s eerie to me as a Jayhawk fan (and Chiefs fan) to be reminded of rape allegations against a player. Simple.
