I have to believe that a WR is in the plans by Day 2 at the latest. I too would be disappointed if it wasn't.

Singletary is in Houston right now. We shall see.

I like how he told Maddy that he can play both inside out outside. I keep going back to having multiple players moving into the slot position all game long versus having one guy nailed to it. Puts a lot more pressure on that NCB in my mind.

Yes, and I have said the same. The only way Josh doesn't get all of the money in his contract would be a career ending injury. Another key point any agent would be stressing.

He most likely is signing for vet minimum or a bit over. He won't count against the comp formula. I think these are the type of UFA signings we see until after the draft. Beane kind of hinted at that in his presser. He said guys get cut after the draft and he will be looking for some to add.

He signed a one-year in SF 2021 for $920k and a one-year in MIA 2022 for $1.18M per Spotrac. I would expect something along the Miami $s.

Pretty much a yes on both points. I can see them bringing in one more vet minimum type guy for the outside to be camp competition. The rest going to camp will be the UDFA types most likely. I hope that guy after cutdown ends up on the PS. Need a guy or 2 to call up if needed who can do something. Last year's WR PS was pretty weak.

I'll repeat that the only thing that makes sense about the Bernard pick is if he gets on the field as some sort of answer to opposing teams TEs. It would mean a totally hybrid D but that is all I got. I have a slim hope that is one of the reasons McD is taking over the D this year.

It's so tough to count on a possible trade down, but if there was ever a year that Beane could swing it, this is that year.

I can only "internet" scout college players. He played some guard in the Senior Bowl too. He fits my drafted OL player to push Spencer and hopefully moves to RG for years if Spencer breaks out the way I think he will. I don't watch much college ball so that's all I got.

Spotrac has him at $7.1M per year. I think it's high, but who knows. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-england-patriots/damien-harris-29123/market-value/

The only that would shock me is if McKenzie wasn't signed to another team. He's a backup slot guy at worse for a lot of teams.

Yes, Allen won't count as a CFA. I got to admit Kyle signed for a cheap deal. I really want him to work out as a backup. Backups have an important role even if they don't have to play. It would be great to get a guy who stays more than 1 year. This might be the guy.

Agree with both of you. One of the options I have been considering is drafting a player that could fill both needs. It's an NFL thing to draft college RTs who can transition into RG's. It seems to me to find a player that can push Spencer this year (with a chance of being a gem at RT) and then transitioning into a guard next season, if and when Morse leaving causing a disruption in the IOL Add to that both Bates and McGovern naturally play LG if one moves to C the RG is covered. I'm worthless at evaluating college players but does anyone have a player like that on their radar? If so who and what rounds?

If Neal is a lock, the only way that pencil has any lead in it, is if they keep 5 Safeties or Neal ends up as prime backup.

Thanks for the insight. I have said (even in this thread) that IF Neal was let go it, would be after the camp battle that I assumed would be between Neal and Anderson. My thoughts were if Anderson won it, it would be about $4M in cap savings. Maybe it's about Cam and Anderson? It was interesting though, that Beane just said Cam's best worth was backup NC behind Taron. In that case Anderson might not have a shot at the 53 and was signed as a backstop.

This confuses me because when the Bills signed him, I read this article about his proficient gunner qualities at BYU. Do the Chiefs have 2 gunners established above him which kept him off the field? Article excerpt: Showed very good speed and quickness at pro day. Adequate athleticism for coverage in space and experienced in multiple coverage schemes. His range, hustle and taking angles to the ball are good and he has the ability to support the run game from the single high safety role. On Special teams he is a gunner and covers kickoffs with high proficiency, and has a knack for forcing turnovers. https://arrowheadone.com/chiefs-udfa-focus-on-db-zayne-anderson/

I'm thinking the Zane Anderson signing, that got a lot of people scratching their heads, is his replacement. He fills the ST role and may bring more to the S position itself. Roster bonus aside, Neal could still go to camp and the decision put off until September.

His salary versus worth sticks out like a sore thumb.

If my post about comp picks is part of your reply, all I will say it was for information purposes only. I'm on this board to see what is on Brandon Beane's mind.

Not all UFA qualify as CFA (Compensatory Free Agents). It's mainly driven on average salary of the contract and there is a $ cutoff. It's the top 35% of players on the end of season rosters. I assume the 53 + IR/PUP. This "cutoff" of the eligible players is where most fans get the "impact of the UFA player to the team". An admittedly very rough $ value that I came up with is something slightly over $2M per year. Kyle Allen's contract $s are not in yet. He may not count as a CFA. It would then be 2 and 2. The only realistic chance would be Singletary signing above the CFA level. Also, any UFAs signed immediately after the draft do not count against as CFAs. I say that because in Beane's presser he made a point of bringing up that he will look at players cut because of the draft. FWIW.

I'll take a WR please. The DL will have to be addressed big time next year no matter what happened in the past.

Just stating a fact. TSW's server room would set off the sprinklers. I know it's inert gas.

Beane mentioned that in his presser yesterday. I wonder why?
