Lost

They drafted all their elite guys. Mahomes, Chris Jones, McDuffy. They opted not to pay Tyreek Hill. I probably woulda considered paying Parsons 40 mil per year if he were a guy we drafted and developed, but giving away 2 1st rd draft picks and paying him that much would be a hard pill to swallow.

I prefer the middle route. Instead of 50 mil/year a top 3 non QB guy, maybe get 2 or 3 elite players in the 15-20 range. Beane usually just likes to shopping at the bargain basement. The one time he did swing for the fences on the Von Miller deal it turned into a big flop. But at the same time he had the sneaky good signing of Leonard Floyd who got us 10.5 sacks for like 8.5 million.

I dunno, having a non QB take up 20% of your teams cap space is also something to consider.

Also receive 24 million in cap savings

If we make a move on a guy like that it would really make Beane look like a clown after already signing Michael Hoecht and using three draft picks on the D-line.

Season doesn't start for 7 days. What else is there to do?

I still prefer our regular all whites over these

Meh. They look like a Lions knockoff

Boring if true

I hear your arguments but Hoecht and Ogunjobi wont even be here for a third of the season. Our 1st round draft pick isn't gonna be available for a third of the season. The rest of our rookie D-lineman are at this point rotational depth guys. The ravens drafted what is going to be a day 1 starter at safety in Starks and another 2nd rd steal in Mike Green who certainly has elite traits. The Chiefs have drafted two day 1 starters in Simmons and Lott. I think it's safe to say our competition's rookies have a leg up on us at least in terms of playing time. We still don't know what we're gonna get with Bosa. He looked good in camp but has an injury history. Hopefully he doesn't flame out like Von did. That's why I'm keeping my expectations low for him. Same with Tre White. Last year everyone was saying he was washed. He did have a decent camp this year but can he carry it over to the regular season? Can he stay healthy til we get the rookie back and up to speed? Bishop has had an up and down camp but it appears he's earned the starting job over Hamlin for now. Until he shows some quality safety play on the field however I would consider it a sidegrade. Maybe we had it too good with Hyde and Poyer all those years because everything we've had since then has been milquetoast. I'm reserving judgement on Josh Palmer. Despite all the separator talk, he has yet to light the league on fire. If he were to surpass the 5 TD catches Mack Hollins had with us last season I would be impressed. At the end of the day we're still trying to replicate Digg's production. Our WR group was bottom 5 in the league last year so it would be hard not improve on that. I'm sure one of our guys is gonna step up and have a big time year, not quite sure who but my money is on Keon. I'm excited for the season, just trying to keep my expectations tempered. We got pretty lucky with turnover differential last year which helped our offense get more points on the board but that will be tough to replicate.

It's essentially the same team as last year. If they can perform at the same level then theoretically they should get back to the AFCCG Reasons for optimism. -Keon looks like he might make a second year leap after his great camp. -Matt Milano is healthy to start the season and is playing well. Reasons for concern -Rookies unlikely to make much of an impact this year allowing other teams to gain ground. -Cole Bishop is still a big question mark going into the season. -It's still the same team that hasn't beaten the Chiefs in the playoffs.

WTF is wrong with Benford?

Can this ball play cornerback?

Just gotta bring AJ Klein and Cole Beasley out of retirement then we're all set

Funny how all the Hard Knocks darlings got cut and they barely acknowledge Tyrell Shavers.

Let's hope we get up 40-0 in a couple of those games.

Not me. I hate when we're always playing from behind. Get the ball, get the lead and stay out in front.

What's the difference between paying $7 million for a guy who never sees the field or eating the cap and giving his roster spot to someone who might contribute. The money is basically wasted either way. I'm hoping the Bills see him being more of a contributor this year

Don't fret. The Bills are bringing back Stephon Gilmore this week.

We paid like $31 Million for Diggs to not be here

Just weird because the rumors going around were that he was going to make the 53 and Dewayne Carter was getting axed.

Wait, the Bills signed Jordan Phillips 2 days ago and now released him? 😄

Sources have confirmed the Chiefs have retained this guy on their 53 man roster.

I heard that a condition for him to stay on the team is he can never sport a mustache again.

Good news is we're not playing the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
