Those responses smell like a bunch of pussy assed bitches. 500k is the lowest salary these fucking players get paid :-)
Having a hotel roommate is kinda bullshit though. I don’t blame the players who hate that. [Reply]

Because the Chiefs practice facilities/full time (non gameday) locker room facilities are older than shit and inferior to many of the new facilities that have recently been built across the league.
Does that make Clark a bad owner?
Not in my opinion, but that NFLPA survey/rankings is mostly focused on practice facilities/amenities. [Reply]
The Chiefs should move up in the draft in order to draft one of the top LT's. Future picks plus a player etc. What would it take to move up for a LT that falls to the mid/late 1st round?

They’re also inferior to many players coming from SEC/Big10 type facilities. I heard sporting KC has nicer facilities than the chiefs. [Reply]
I think a lot of facility issues get fixed when there is a new stadium deal in place.
A lot has changed in terms of expectations over the past 20 years. I have no doubt that Clark will build a top-notch facility. Hard to pump money in to a facility you might be leaving.

Sure but when the rest of the competing teams pay the same salaries and offer better things in that regard, shit like that does matter. [Reply]

Have you seen Oregon's facilities? They're insane. [Reply]

I am with Geoff Schwartz on this one...Completely disagree with moving up to get a LT. KC has too many holes/depth concerns on the roster to spend multiple picks (only 6 this year) to move up for a LT...a player who is most likely fallen for a reason, and most likely models very similarly to Kingsley.

In looking at all the options, I think I'm leaning towards signing a vet for a couple of years while Kingsley develops. This isnt the year to be trading up in the draft. . [Reply]

The 2 things I wonder about with this plan specifically is:
1. They want to get their 2nd rd pick on the field somewhere and use that high asset. Is it at RG?
2. Kid needs reps to learn. It’s the best way. [Reply]
Regarding Clark Hunt’s cheapness, he has the lowest ranked facilities and the top ranked owners suite…hmmmm. Does make him seem a bit selfish, at least.
But he’s also looking to build a new stadium so why worry about revamping the locker room. [Reply]
