The Watkins thing I knew was coming. The Hitchens deal shocks me a bit. Chiefs still need a DE, NT, an outside CB, and FS and probably an Edge as Ford... is Dee Ford.
Yep, said it on the Bears board but I don't trust Watkins to stay healthy enough to be great like he can be.That's way too much guaranteed to Watkins. They will not get the value from that contract. I bet he's gone after 2 years.
Going to be a really popular team on Madden, though.That's way too much guaranteed to Watkins. They will not get the value from that contract. I bet he's gone after 2 years.
Honestly...I'm not sure 'elite GM' is a sustainable concept. I'm pretty sure they're all just lawyers who like to gamble.> Fires Arguably Elite GM because he made [read:bad] weird Cap Moves and Tried to Win
> New GM proceeds to do same things but trade picks for players on top of it
> Profit

We burn our cap space with gustoThank you, Chiefs!
For saving the Rams from themselves regarding Watkins' potential contract. He's a good enough player, but not one that deserves a significant chunk of cap space.
I agree, Hitchens was a great signing.Going to be a really popular team on Madden, though.
The LB is a bigger deal, imo. Chiefs biggest need and completely warping that market for anyone wanting to sign their LB who people have actually heard of.
Yeah, Reid is a master at finessing separation with WR's via scheme so that's going to be nice, but in isolation this contract is kind of bad. Wouldn't be surprised if Watkins puts up some big years, wouldn't be surprised if he completely flakes out either.I agree, Hitchens was a great signing.
If Watkins is healthy, it could be a great deal, but you guys still need some size at WR. Watkins is 6'1", 210, but having another taller guy to go with Kelce would be ideal. He specialized mostly in stretching the field but you have to think he's lost a step with the constant injuries.
It all depends on if Mahomes has taken the next step. If he's improved his accuracy, this could be a great deal. If he tries to just be a gunslinger off the bat, there could be quite a few 3 and outs.Yeah, Reid is a master at finessing separation with WR's via scheme so that's going to be nice, but in isolation this contract is kind of bad.

All boils down to his mechanics. To be as accurate as he was with them was remarkable, but if they aren't fixed, he's going to throw a lot more interceptions than he should be throwing and on top of a gunslinger mentality that can crash and burn. So far so good, but not out of the woods yet. Confident, but not arrogant about Mahomes. The interception he threw against Denver is a pretty good example. Long completion available with YAC possibilities, correct read is made, timing looked right, but the mechanics were off so the throw sailed badly into the safety.It all depends on if Mahomes has taken the next step.
