Going the draft rout was not the problem for the Chiefs, they struggled offensively after Mahomes torpedoed Rashee Rice's knee. Imagine how bad our offense would've looked last year if Shakir went on IR in week 4. We had a taste of that in the Texans and Ravens games that he was injured for. Proven talent through FA doesn't always work either. We gave Samuel a decent chunk of change and he was a non-factor (hopefully he'll be better this year when healthy).

We didn't though. The Lions scored more than us in the regular season. The Eagles and Commanders scored more in the post season. Combining regular and post season stats together is dumb.

Chiefs didn't have WR1 Rashee Rice in either game against us

Rasul Douglas and Jordan Poyer are still available

I could not hate this signing more. I don't care if it's vet minimum + incentives to reach this "up to" 6.8m. We cut him and ate dead cap TWO YEARS AGO because he was 100% cooked after (unfortunate) injuries. He was atrocious (borderline worst CB in the league) for the Rams last year before they benched him. They ultimately traded him to the Ravens for a 7th round pick swap. Essentially the lowest possible value you could trade a player for. He was awful for the Ravens (although he did slightly improve from worst CB in the league). This is reminiscent of bringing back Beasley/Brown in 2022, or AJ Klein in 2023, or Micah Hyde in 2024 because we're familiar with those guys. Re-signing guys who are 1000% cooked just because we're familiar with them is terrible roster building.

I'm honestly in shock that Chad Pennington received MVP votes. 2008 was a massive down year

I don't think he's worth a roster spot even at a vet minimum contract. I'd rather take a chance on an unproven guy than give it to an aging vet that looked as cooked as Douglas did last season.

Are you a lawyer? To me, as a layperson, it seems like there's enough grey area this would be a tough lawsuit to win. Especially when you consider McAfee has the resources to buy the best defense attorneys. This reminds me of when McAfee was sued by Brett Favre for defamation. Favre withdrew the lawsuit with no settlement after McAfee clarified a few things. I guess that case is a bit different since Favre is a public figure and this girl is not. For this case I could see McAfee throwing some settlement $$ her way, but I'd be surprised if he loses the lawsuit.

I've never listened to McAfee and never will, but I'm not clear on the legal merits of this case. He never used her name and tossed out some "allegedly's". The guy is allowed to reference a rumor on his show. The actual bad people in this story are whoever started the rumor, and anyone harassing/threatening this girl and her family. Those are the people that should be facing legal repercussions. They don't have deep pockets though so this girl and her attorney are not interested in them.

For the replay-assist does roughing the passer fall under the hits to defenseless players category? Overall I could see this detracting from the viewing experience. Refs will be conditioned to throw a flag on anything that remotely looks like one of these penalties and just have it go to review. It's better for the ref to have it go to review and get it right than to risk not throwing a flag and getting it wrong. Similar to how they've been conditioned to never blow a play dead if there's any chance there was a fumble.

I'd let the final year of his contract play out and see how it goes. 'Worst' case from a cap perspective is he plays great and we have to pay him more. If he continues to have injury concerns (depending on severity) we could franchise tag him or let him walk for a comp pick.

It's not just concussions, he's had a lot of different injuries over the years. He missed half the season in 2022 with a broken hand and then an oblique injury. 2023 he missed a few games with a hammy, and the playoff game vs Chiefs with a knee. 2024 he missed a game with a wrist injury and then the back to back concussions in the playoffs. I don't think I would've extended a guy that hasn't played a full season and has missed game(s) in every postseason. Fingers crossed he can stay healthy since he's such a great player when he's on the field.

Had to google it, but this is what it says: The nose wipe is a gang sign associated with the Bloods, indicating someone is untrustworthy. I don't understand the symbology. Like you I thought it had to do with fingering and then sniffing it. Either way I don't think it makes sense as an NFL celebration. As far as the rule change goes I don't care. Have any of our guys ever used it as a celebration?

My fault for only reading the ESPN title and not the actual article. I still think it's an incredibly misleading title though. Should be "which teams are having the best off-season so far" not "which teams have had the best free agent class". Those are 2 different things

Shakir/Rosseau/Bernard were not free agents though. They were all under contract with the Bills for the 2025-2026 season. If he's going to count those guys as 'returning' players you might as well count Allen for signing that extension.
