Well yeah, he wouldn't have been available if he didn't have the injury history. All he has to do this year is play maybe 9-10 games. That's doable and he's better than any other LT on the roster.

I'm hoping that since it's a contract year that he plays his ass off, but idk if I'd wanna take a chance with him long term.

Maybe he'll be on the game day roster next week and log a few game reps to get him going.

Thanks Captain Buzzkill.

I don't see 2024 as relevant as far as games missed since he was injured late last season. You're right about Arians though because he's an A-1 asshole. He was able to win with teams he didn't build I guess but that's it.
[Reply]

I wouldn't mind if we added him this week with some late game reps if we manage to be in control of the game late.

I just need to know how much he currently weighs
[Reply]

This is exactly what Inposted about earlier. While he is a better option than what we have atm I’d still not crown him lord savor just yet.

Looking more closely at that history, it seems likely the Chiefs probably see this as a short term arrangement. If they can squeeze 8 above average games out of him, including a nice playoff run, someone is probably going to overpay him.

Then again, this guy was also a captain at one point, so whatever Arians said about him in his rookie year clearly wasn’t an issue down the road. He’s been an above average LT when healthy, and that is so hard to find, especially for teams like us at the bottom of every draft. If he plays well, it’s going to be very hard to let him go. He sure seems like a badass in his presser as well, so we’ll see what happens. Either way, we’re getting his absolute best for the rest of the season, and that’s a huge boost for us.

Yeah no. That ain't happening. I can just about promise you that. If the dude balls out for 8+ games at a pro bowl level at 30 I can tell you that there's no way in hell Veach lets him walk.
[Reply]

If he plays well, he’s going to hit the market. Most likely, he’d easily land ~20 million a year or so. You think Veach will be willing to commit that after having him in house for half of a season? Would you cut Thuney to keep him? Because that’s likely what you’d have to do.

To be clear, I’d be onboard with keeping him. I’m just listing all possible scenarios.

Hope he’s ready for the Stoolers game. Don’t need that kinda blocking going against the STEEL MEN!

North of 30 with a big injury history. No way, he’s a rental to make it through til (hopefully) the SB.
