It's going to take more than just solid LT play to get back to the Super Bowl.
That's just not gonna happen. The team doesn't suffer from the myopia fans do. [Reply]
While most of the offseason focus will be on LT, KC also needs to focus on quality depth pieces. Thinking back on the season and SB, the biggest FA loss for this team was Alegretti. His ability to plug and play was sorely missed. [Reply]
Cam Robinson is easily the best FA LT option that’s been available to us since Trent Williams 4 years ago.
He’s average LT that is a plus pass protector. In fact I’ve heard multiple Chiefs people say he’s very similar to Eric Fisher and played in this offense for years.
This is a no brainer folks. Work a structured contract and get him in here. Robinson is miles better than anything this franchise has had the last 2 years and he’s 29.
There are no other options. Get it done and start building the team with draft picks [Reply]

Not a chance when mediocre/good Gs are up to over 20 million AAV now. Wouldn't shock me if he's closer to 30 than 20. [Reply]

If he's the best option since Williams, somebody is going to pay him way more than what he's worth.

Get ready to be disappointed
He’s the best option for us since Trent Williams. Speaking of Trent Williams…Veach was about to dump an absolute haul for him. Same with Orlando Brown Jr.
This team has a lot of money available. Creed is the only OL signed long term. They can get rid of Thuney and Jawaan with a clean cut after 2025. They have plenty of money.
I don’t much care about how much he cost. This FA class sucks balls and I’m sick of trotting unprepared developmental projects out there as well as old broken down LT’s with neck problems.
Don’t care. This is too big of a problem to not fix. Just pay it and get it over with. [Reply]
It's the Mooney debate all over again. Folks thought he'd be here on a one year prove it deal for relative peanuts. Ended up on a 3 year 39 million AAV deal which in hindsight would've been the move to make. [Reply]

Yeah, going to FA isn't ideal, but there's value to be had there.
Justin Reid was a great FA signing. We need more of those. [Reply]

He's the best option for a lot of teams. He's going to get a lot more money than you think.
You're just being emotional. We lost. The LT situation is what it is.
We've been through this every year since Fisher went down. It's not going to play out the way anybody thinks it will. And if you get this emotional about one guy, you're going to have a big let down. [Reply]
If Stanley isn’t an option Robinson is definitely the move. He’ll be more than good enough and we can use our picks to address other areas of need. Signing Robinson/Stanley gives us by far the best chance of rolling out a freshly balanced roster.
i’d rather overpay in cap hit for a guy than have to pony up multiple high picks. [Reply]
