    Another team that didn't make a splash the first day of free agency but is ending up with a really good off season

    When you are $45M under the cap, you can overpay. Good for the t!ts but we’re still going to eat them alive.

    They have so much cap space they can do it. Next year they have almost $120 in cap space too, so they can add some of the best free agents available to transform their team. That, and their higher draft picks should make our division much more competitive down the road. They also won't have to pay as much for a new Levis contract as we will for CJ.

    He failed a physical, he's on the wrong side of 30, and he hasn't been good the last 2 seasons.

    If he'll take a minimum style contract, I'd absolutely sign him and see what's up.

    I doubt he wants a minimum deal though.

    Blackmon is really good.

    Wonder what he's going to get paid. The S market has been more expensive than I expected it to be.

    I hope they go BPA.

    If they do this, then WR and DT will most likely the picks. I could also see a LB taken in the 2nd and DT or wr taken at 3-86.

    Chiefs fans say Snead has bad knees and has been ‘load managing’ them by not practicing during game week. It’s been like this for a few years. They feel that his knees will eventually give sooner rather than later.

    I've definitely been surprised. My guess is between 10 and 15 a year. The guaranteed money is what will make the difference

    Nice research. I never wanted Snead and I'm fine with Tittyans paying him big money and sending picks to KC. KC GM adopting Morey's philosophy of letting another team pay. They've got back-to-back SBs and have spent on their most important FAs.

    That’s big if true. Could see a huge dip in production like Reeves. Good one day, washed the next.

    Lot of moves but it doesn't feel like it is going to move the needle.
