Kansas City Chiefs Thread

conor222 · 24-04-2019 3:13pm

I dont think so,
AFAIK we have approximately $22 million in space, and I believe that figure does not include the 9 million in savings we have from Berry's post june 1st release.
Beyond that the structure will be key, its essentially a 3 year deal with team options beyond that (only ~60 mil guaranteed) but signing bonus spreads over the 5 so id imagine we may have a slightly lower hit this year with the deal being about 55 mil paid by end of year 3, so he could be cut for 6 mil in dead space yr 4 if wanted.

Xavi6 · 26-04-2019 1:43am

Might need to take a WR in the draft because Tyreek Hill might need see the field much anymore as a Chief.

conor222 · 26-04-2019 2:11pm

Said ti on the other thread but yeah, he needs to be gone.
Id say they're only putting him on suspension until the draft part is finished, then they can deal with getting him removed from the team. Its a pity because it looked so much like he had turned his life around (charity work etc) but he hadn't. I'll still support giving players a second chance but he had his and pissed it away.
Scum and shouldn't be in the league any more.

Xavi6 · 26-04-2019 3:00pm

I agree, and they've set the standard after binning off Hunt. Hopefully they can find some value in the draft now, and they at least stopped short of making him the highest paid WR in the league.

The thing that will irk me is seeing another team pick him up and benefit from a genuine game changer who should've been a Chief for life. If the Chiefs cut him then he should be out of the league for good, won't happen though.

Xavi6 · 27-04-2019 2:03am

Chiefs trade up to get Hill’s replacement, Mecole Hardman.

Always Be Closing · 27-04-2019 7:42am

Hardman looks a beast.

Personally, I'd keep Hill and would have kept Hunt. I'm a man of few morals, plus if we can be the most hated team, it could build a siege mentality. Some other team is gonna pick up Hill. Being morally correct doesn't win you Super Bowls. I'd take a team of dickheads winning a SB over a team of saints going 8-8.

Bye Reek Hill

Thanks for the memories you gob****e

Xavi6 · 27-04-2019 4:57pm

I agree to a point in the sense that everyone deserves a second chance but assaulting your kid after you've already been in trouble in the past? Nah, see ya later.

What Hunt did isn't even comparable to Hill's antics.

Always Be Closing · 27-04-2019 11:58pm

Have to say, I'm delighted with our off season acquisitions.

The Honey Badger and Clark pick ups speak for themselves, but we've addressed alot of holes in this draft.

Xavi6 · 28-04-2019 4:25pm

Listening to some Chiefs podcasts post draft and there was a lot of hype about Darwin Thompson and what he can bring to the back field. Four RBs and a FB will likely head into camp so it could be a interesting battle for roster spots.

conor222 · 30-04-2019 3:23pm

Jamaal Charles signing a one day deal to retire a chief. Big favourite of mine and the first real jersey I got of KC.
Happy for the guy

Xavi6 · 01-05-2019 1:41am

First Chiefs jersey I got as well, hated seeing him at the Broncos but glad he's coming back to retire properly. Legend.

Xavi6 · 17-05-2019 3:33am

Love that the Chiefs have brought Charles, Bowe and Johnson back to sign one-day contract. Those three at their peak in the current team would've been unreal.

Xavi6 · 13-07-2019 2:20am

Really enjoying The Franchise, it's nice to have a Chiefs centric documentary to pass some time during the offseason.

Xavi6 · 19-07-2019 3:27pm

No suspension at all for Tyreek Hill...

Terrific preseason from the new guy.

As long as he doesn't stunt the development of Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson, I'm all in.

Damian Williams still our RB1

Xavi6 · 01-09-2019 12:59pm

Yeah, Williams will be first up and having a back up like McCoy for a year is a nice cushion to have. Thompson looks very promising but we want to win now so bringing in Shady makes sense.

AnBeagalltach · 05-09-2019 6:53pm

As Randy Reid would say, get up field, don’t get tackled.. score

Xavi6 · 09-09-2019 1:51am

Business as usual on offense, it's good to be back.

conor222 · 15-09-2019 9:51am

Should be an interesting game this weekend. I think we'll win but don't think it'll be the cakewalk that I expected looking at it during the offseason.
Raiders line looked really good last week and their pass rush was decent. I want to see more from our defense, particularly the front 4 generating pressure. Should see some more plays out of the rookie Mecole Hardman which would be nice as well.

Xavi6 · 16-09-2019 12:34am

Job done. Great to see the defense keeping a shutout for three quarters and taking a few picks. Mahomes dropping dimes in the first half with a sprained ankle, what a guy.

conor222 · 21-09-2019 12:38pm

Very exciting game this week. We get to see a proper test for both the Ravens and the Chiefs. Should be very fun to watch.

Damien Wiliams is out, and Shady has been limited in practices this week so might be a coming out game for Darwin Thompson. Concerning given Reid commented that his pass-blocking might not be 100% yet, got to protect Mahomes at all costs, but very exciting to see him at this level. Looked great in preseason against starting defenses, hope he can continue that in the regular season.

Xavi6 · 23-09-2019 4:22am

Job done, some brilliant plays from Robinson, McCoy and Hardman. Bit of a scare towards the end but a win is huge when the rest of the division all lost (again).

They were terrific, as were Ogbah and Okofor.

Ditto Clarke, Jones, Matthieu and Darrell Williams.

Our strength in depth is astonishing

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 25-09-2019 2:18pm

Question for Chiefs fans. How does it feel to have Patrick Mahomes. He is off to record numbers already, his accuracy, ability, attitude. Hell he is just terrific to watch.

Already people are starting to talk about him as a transformative player, he could change the position with the ability he has.

He’s already changed the position. To 90% of teams the Red Zone is the 20 yard line. If you’re Chicago it’s the 5 yard line. But Mahomes has made it so that our Red Zone is literally midfield. We can score from anywhere.

And it hasn’t been all plain sailing either- he was without Hunt for most of last year, and this season Hills been struck down with injury and off the field incidents, and we’ve gone through 3 RB’s already this season.

He’s a transformative, creative, once in a generation player and we’ve never seen his like before

To balance it out however, Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, Shady McCoy and MeCole Hardman have really stepped up to the plate in these first 3 games.

With Hill and Damien Williams to return and Kelce continuing to be the best TE in the game, I really don’t see us losing any time soon.

Home advantage is key in the P/O’s however

I've been a Chiefs fan since 1996 and I'm still coming to terms with having a genuine superstar in our midst. The Chiefs have had great players but they're in an unfashionable market so have never had attention to this level. Madden cover star, the face of Oakley, one of the highest selling jerseys etc. I'm loving every minute of it, and he seems like a really nice bloke too.

On the field, I'm terrified of an injury because this team is built to win now but there's nothing behind him in the QB room. As mentioned, he's changing the game every week and his numbers are off the charts. Reid has given him an amazing supporting cast to work with so the sceptic in me is just waiting for *something* to go wrong. Having said that, I thought that losing Kareem Hunt was a disaster and was certain Tyreek Hill was gone in the offseason but here we are.

It's an exciting time and I'm delighted that my first trip to Arrowhead was last season just as Mahomes got his feet under the table! And I say all that as someone who wasn't sure whether moving on from Alex Smith was the right thing to do.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 26-09-2019 9:41am

Just reading both your posts I can actually sense the excitement.

As a redskins fan its been forever since I've had that feeling. Dwayne Haskins could be the player to bring it back though, hopefully. Never felt it ever with Cousins, although now that I'm talking about it RGIII did bring a bit of magic with him that first season.

I agree with what you guys are saying as well he hasnt had it easy personnel wise with the injuries and off field stuff but he just keeps going. He is unreal. like you said there the redzone for the chiefs is literally the halfway line. Which is ridiculous.

Such a shame about Smudger, he was adored at KC and I'm 100% convinced as is every Chiefs fan that Mahomes wouldn't have developed like he has if he didn't get to sit behind Smith for a year - the tutelage will have been invaluable.

I imagine it would have been similar for Haskins.

Anyways, best of luck for the remainder of the season - would love to see you go on a run and sneak into the P/O's

Huge win psychologically in the sense that it was a win that had to be grinded out, it'll stand them in good stead.

It was a 'bad' game for Mahomes yet he still threw for a sh*tload of yards, used his legs well, and led a game winning drive. I'll take that for 4-0.

Good teams lose that game

Great teams win it

Xavi6 · 04-11-2019 10:03am

Another big win over a good team. Moore has done well but having Watkins back and an unplayable Hill is going to make any QB's job a lot easier. Getting Wylie and Jones into the mix again made a difference, hopefully Mahomes and Fisher are next up.

The Chiefs only have one game left against a team with a winning record so a combination of a nice schedule and the return of some big players is something to look forward to now after a rough month.

Xavi6 · 02-12-2019 2:32am

A very satisfying beat down of the Raiders, and it was nice to see Darwin Thompson getting some reps late on. He grew in confidence and will be buzzing to get his first TD.

The blocked extra point and run back at the end was icing.

conor222 · 02-12-2019 8:34am

Very fun win, great to see the defense clicking like that. Big game upcoming this weekend vs NE in Foxboro

Have been wanting them to use Thompson more, apparently the issue was his pass blocking but he looks so much more dynamic versus the other backs I think we need to see him mixed in more.

Also, Hardman should be used more as well. Fun guy to watch

Always Be Closing · 02-12-2019 8:49am

Routine win against Grudens band of merry losers- I really wouldn’t read anything into it.

Still zero confidence in our Run D or running it on Offense- McCoy/Williams/Williams/Thompson seem like jacks of all trades but masters of none and the Kareem Hunt void is still there

Xavi6 · 13-01-2020 3:33pm

I got up at 4am before work to watch and considered going back to bed after the first quarter. But this team is different to the Chiefs teams that have choked in the past. No Jones or Thornhill yet the likes of Sorensen and Clark stepped up with some monster plays when needed.

And the offense...we're blessed to have 10 to 15 years of Mahomes ahead of us, what a man. Kelce couldn't have recovered any better from that early drop and Williams, as Andy Reid would say, did a nice job.

There really won't be a much better chance to go all the way now that there's home field advantage next weekend.

That dribbler Scott Zolak's tears were just the icing on the cake.

What gets right on my tits is everyone goes on about us being this offensive juggernaut with star receivers and backs

We’ve actually a backfield committee of bang average RB’s in Shady, Williams and the unproven Thompson and perpetually injured Darrell Wliiams who didn’t get into the top 50 stats wise, a 5th round pick in Cheetah, receivers like D-Rob and Sammy who blow hot and cold, a first year rookie in Hardman who’s mainly been used as a punt returner, which leaves us with a Kelce who is just a freak.

Big Red deserves ALL the credit for making it come together

As for PM15- what can you say? We are so blessed to have him

Xavi6 · 20-01-2020 1:10am

Never in doubt!

Patrick Mahomes, what a man. That bomb to Sammy Watkins on 3rd and 6 had me shaking my head and laughing at the same time. And the TD run in the first half needs no comment.

Can't believe I'm going to see the Chiefs at the big dance, it's been a long and sometimes painful 24 years supporting them but worth it now.

In fairness the tackling on Pat was piss poor

Been an unreal season though. You can see how much love everyone in the NFL has for Big Red, I would LOVE US to do it for him.

As an aside, Clark Hunt looks like he could melt, he's had some serious work done

I have never gotten over the fact that a family with the surname Hunt gave their son a name that ends in a hard "K" sound.

It's as bad as ex-Dublin great Denis Bastick.
