The #Chiefs are hiring Steve Spagnuolo as their new defensive coordinator, sources say. The former #Giants DC and interim HC/#Rams HC began his NFL coaching career as an #Eagles assistant under Andy Reid. Now rejoins Big Red in KC.

I’ve always liked Spags and I think it’s safe to say this is probably the best staff he’s ever had on paper. He’s also in a great situation with Reid and Pat. I think this turns out to be a home run. [Reply]

Agreed. I was hoping for a few base hits and we ended up with the Grand Slam.
It's all on Veach now. Every other piece of this puzzle has been carefully laid with top shelf components, so it's time for him to step up and shine. [Reply]

Better snag 2 of each really...whether that's via draft or FA.
Entire secondary is in dire needs of a complete overhaul.
-Fuller and Ward are the Chiefs only 2 CB's worthy of a roster spot, and I think people even overvalue Ward's worth tbh. But the Chiefs need bodies at the position so I hope he stays.
-Nelson should be sent packing, no way is he worth what he's gonna think he's worth.
-Scandrick good riddance
WTF else is there at CB?
RE: S
-Sorensen should be cut unless it makes financial sense not to.
-Berry :-)
-Lucas is JAG, and cap$ needs to be spend on other more important players
-Watts is coming back, but he'll essentially be a rookie again, didn't have much of a season last yr.
-Murray is trash and should be cut. [Reply]

I disagree. Veach can build a real nice defense for next year. It wont have crazy depth everywhere but they can definitly put a top 15 defense out there if Veach gets it right. [Reply]
