Why? The only reason I can think of is that he's a Veach drafted guy and only a few of those have be resigned so far. Treys not that strong of a scheme fit, wasn't that good in pass pro and will command the highest guard contract of all time probably. [Reply]
Describe this offseason in three words: Draft must count
Yes, the Chiefs lost in Super Bowl LIX, but they still have a loaded roster. General manager Brett Veach said "our free agency will be our draft" in the offseason with regard to key player acquisition because of a tight salary cap situation and a long list of the Chiefs' own potential free agents that they would like to re-sign. Kansas City will have four picks in the first three rounds, having acquired an additional pick early in Round 3 by trading cornerback L'Jarius Sneed to the Titans last offseason. -- Adam Teicher
So any hopes of a real upgrade at LT are pretty much null and void. They're not trading up because they have no picks, and it sounds like they have no intention of being players in free agency so will need them all. Guess we get to look forward to D.J. Humphries and Kingsley battling it out, and Mahomes' talent continuing to be wasted with a creaky, gremlin offense.
I can't find that quote anywhere from Veach, but even as lame as Teicher is I don't think he'd put it in quotation marks if it wasn't actually stated. Could just be playing coy, but I doubt it. [Reply]

And even if they somehow are, I’d be extremely weary bc the Rams and Ravens are not stupid franchise.
yeah i really do not get where people are getting the idea alaric will be available. that shit is a literal pipe dream. rams are not letting a guy who only gave up 3 sacks in 900 snaps walk.
ronnie you can at least make a case for. ravens basically told him to prove it with his last restructure and now that he has there's a good chance they will let him test the market. it's not going to be pretty but you can probably get stanley with a blank check. [Reply]

That's because they weren't worth the money to us that they are to another team. Again, as designed by the NFL. Maintaining success is almost impossible. We have dont it for 7 years now. Thats pretty damn good. [Reply]

when did he say it? Things have changed in the past few days... [Reply]
I know this is sarcasm but, this is the design of the NFL. Teams cant stay on top forever. Eventually, the bill comes due. Our limited options is by design and working as planned by the NFL. [Reply]

Part of the bill coming due from the last time we revamped the OL. Our RT making top $ but playing average. Thuney and Creed making top $ but at least still playing at a level to earn that money.
We pushed money off from the Thuney contract to the sign someone else. That bill and deal we made a couple of years ago is due this year. At least he's still playing at a HOF at LG. [Reply]

Not really. Thuney is not a LT and it showed. Caliendo is not a starter in the NFl and it showed. You can say what you will about Jawaan but the majority of the issues came from the left side including Thuney getting walked into Patrick on that 2nd INT [Reply]

That's what I'm hoping, Teicher doesn't specify because he's a damn clown as we all know. I can't imagine that after watching what they just did that they would sit on their hands if Stanley or Jackson ends up on the market. [Reply]
