Chiefs signings
-
@AsadZ Katz schmucks messed Chris around.
-
@mayjay Not thrilled about restructuring Thuney’s enormous contract (the contract that I feel is 70% of the reason for tyreek Hill’s departure). Like the player. Don’t like that much of the cap tied up in a guard.
-
@dylans Hill was and continues to be one of the best receivers in the NFL but I still think he is a ticking time bomb and likely ends up in jail at some point.
-
@kjayhawks Because of the fake KC Star story about his kid? Or because of that ex of his that was trying to entrap him for money? Ehh maybe for another poor decision down the road, but most of his recent problems have been fabricated. He’s no saint, but I doubt he’ll get into that much trouble.
Football players as a general rule attract aggressive people, so it never surprises me when one gets in a little trouble with the law. - Hard to overcome the football player-rapist stigma.
-
Ironic discussion after the marina incident in Miami this summer where Hill slapped a worker trying to remove him from a boat he illegally boarded. Paid the guy off, so no charges.
The child abuse investigation led to no charges because they could not determine who broke the kid’s arm, not because they decided he didn’t. And his language telling the mom she “should be terrified” of him is a bit disturbing.
I am going with time-bomb, myself.
-
@dylans my response is line with what @mayjay has just said. I’m sorry but the guy doesn’t seem like a stand up citizen in any light. After hearing some of his podcasts and interviews I can definitely see why the chiefs didn’t have him available for media. One common denominator in all of his accused issues, some proven, some not is him.
-
Ehh. Tyreek is a piece of shit. Wish he was more of an exception is more my point. Football doesn’t attract the best people. Rosters are huge - some are good people, too many aren’t.
-
Only cuz i dunno where else to post this
Chiefs at home vs. the Bears this week.
The Bears are bad. I’d sit Kelce, let him heal his body and mind. Get him ready for the rest of the year.
-
Bears were supposed to contend, folks are high on Fields.
I don’t think Reid will sit Kelce. Without him Offense looks non-cohesive, perhaps limit his snap count or rest him on 4th quarter assuming game is in the bag.
-
Yea, i don’t think he’ll sit, either. But, i’d rather take my chances against the Bears with Kelce out, than have him hurting the rest of the year. But, who knows if that’d even help. Need him to be rock solid.
-
Chiefs currently a 12.5 point favorite.
-
Bears D coordinator resigned citing personal health issues, wish him recovery.
-
Hearing Jets Mercole Hardman may be on the market. Would be a nice addition.
-
As long as price is good, 7th rnd pick as an example.
-
Is he healthy?
-
@AsadZ Could’ve had Claypool for a 6th and got a 7th back. I don’t think I would trade anything for Hardman…unless they want Clyde.
Hardman and Mahomes never had that good of chemistry.
-
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.
