Chiefs Pro Bowl LT DJ Humphries Medically Cleared [signed by Chiefs] - Page 17

Does Veach give him a call?

I predict @Chiefs. Makes too much sense https://t.co/hu5xdI5KF2

Seems like he's kinda light for a LT. I'm guessing he's a good athlete being he was a 1st round pick

Tweet! Flag. Illegal formation. #74 was not on the line of scrimmage. 5 yard penalty, repeat 1st down.

J/K...

“I’m not going to say no.” Hard to recall another time Andy delivered a Bill Selfian message through the press like this.

I think the money speaks for itself. And I don’t think Humphries signed that deal to watch someone else play LT.

I’d be shocked if he isn’t the starting LT sometime next month

When I made that post I was thinking like 5 weeks. I hope it's sooner than that.

He's only 30, hopefully this turns into a long term fix as well

They had Paris Johnson Jr, who was the 6th overall pick in 2023, ready to take over.

If he plays as well as he’s capable, it will be very hard to justify letting him go. That said, my guess is they’ll take the comp pick he’s going to bring if he earns a big contract and move on. It’s just how they seem to roll these days.

So, I asked a couple buddies of mine here in PHX about DJ, to get a Cards fan perspective. In a nutshell, he was well-liked by fans/teammates, everyone fells he had a lot of talent, particularly as a run-blocker. However, he has been guilty of drawing a lot of false start flags, has some focus issues. But overall, was a consistent pass-protector most of the time.

And I'm not at all opposed to that if he's a strong fit. Move Wanya to OG to replace Smith and away we go.

What if Smith doesn't ask for the bag, and instead wants a nice contract so he can keep playing with his best friend?

Is there a cap number that makes you want Smith back?

I feel like Hunt being the main back doesn't really help Smith, but Pacheco seems to make the entire offensive line better because of his style versus Hunt's style. I can't really break down why exactly, as I am at work, but I feel like other people will understand what I mean.

The revolving door at LT and WR needs to stop, however I am losing faith in Veach's abilities in drafting long term solutions outside of DBs

We really need that 1st seed bye

I already told you, we're winning four games in a row.

At 13-1 Bills fans are going to be sweating so fucking bad.

This IS a team of destiny.

Jesus he's athletic.

We're going back to Fisher plays.
