Chiefs signings
-
since the Chiefs are going crazy signing players, maybe it needs its own thread!
Ronald Jones in da house! I am very pleased with that signing. Always thought he was a great RB, but maybe had issues hanging on to the ball, which got him benched on more than a few occasions. Hopefully that’s just a fluke. He can also catch it out of the backfield. Great signing. Wonder if CEH will take a secondary role?

Keeping track of the signings:
SIGNED
S Justin Reid to three-year deal
WR JuJu Smith-Schuster to one-year deal
OL Geron Christian to one-year deal
LB Elijah Lee to one-year deal
WR Corey Coleman, terms not disclosed
CB Luq Barcoo, terms not disclosed
S Deon Bush, terms not disclosed
C Austin Reiter to one-year deal
WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to three-year deal
LB Jermaine Carter, terms not disclosed
RB Ronald Jones to one-year deal

Add TE Blake B.
I like all the moves, especially signing Marquez Valdes. While he is not at the same level as Tyreek, he is a big body fast downhill receiver that gets tremendous D attention.
I’d like Chiefs to add another DE.
Veatch is creating solid depth.
-
I’m hoping some of those CBs we were looking at end up on the roster. Desperate need as well.
-
For CBs, Chiefs are showing an interest in Gilmore and Bradberry.
-
I am liking Jones signing, he is a downhill runner and would be more suitable on 1st downs than CEH.

It’s a grand slam if he is healthy yeah.
-
That WR room as a whole is really pretty scary right now. Nobody elite, but should have 4 or 5 guys who can really play ball.
-
Ross is a very good pickup. No risk because he was basically available for nothing, but a potential elite level talent if he’s healthy. This may be the last time we ever talk about him because his body may not hold up, but he could just as likely be in the Pro Bowl in two years.
-
DE Carlos Dunlap is onboard, finally.
$8M seems like a lot for a guy at this stage of his career. Hoping he has enough left in the tank to contribute.
-
This is a desperate signing.
They should have kept Ingram.
-
Agreed, but this time of year that’s about all you’re gonna get, right? The defensive front line could be a mess.
-
I think the signing is fine. Better than them doing nothing. But I don’t understand why they paid that and let Ingram go when Ingram (at least until the contract details for Dunlap are out) was cheaper. Doesn’t make any sense to bring a guy in during camp when you could have just kept Ingram who knows the playbook by now.
At least they tried to address the position though.
-
@Kcmatt7 I don’t think Ingram wanted to be a Chief - he rebuffed them twice. They had to trade with Pittsburgh to nab him the first go around. I’m not sure the Chiefs offer was as good as the dolphins, but IMO it did not seem like he wanted to negotiate much with KC.

From The Athletic:
In 12 games last year, including the postseason, Ingram recorded three sacks, eight quarterback hits, 20 tackles, one pass breakup and one forced fumble. Dunlap, as a member of the Seahawks, finished last season with 8 1/2 sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 35 tackles, seven pass breakups and one forced fumble in 17 games. He generated pressure on 11.5 percent of his snaps last year when opposing quarterbacks dropped back to pass, which ranked 34th among 176 qualified pass rushers (minimum 200 pass rush snaps)…
I think this was huge! Ingram was a nice complementary player who helped free the other DL’s, but Dunlap is bigger and can generate massive pressure on his own. Clark is ecstatic.

Frank Clark quit drinking! Lost weight. Anxious to see this new man
