ouch.

well played.

This guy got torched last year. Why would anybody want him?

Medium pass.

I would rather bring back Revis than pay more than $9 million a year to Mathieau.

This is like Shark Tank.

Tyrann Mathieau thinks he's getting $500K for 5% because the company is about him.

All of the sharks aren't making offers any less than $500K for 50%. Because that's what he's worth.

He may as well walk away. So should we.

You're 5'8, your body is broken, you're slow as hell with extensive injury history and you're demanding a lot of money. For that reason, I'm out.

Don't understand the "broken" comments.

He's missed 26 fewer games than Eric Berry, and played all 16 last season.

Yeah but Eric Berry wears our shirt so we like him better.

Tyrann Mathieau has had two ACL tears, an LCL tear and a destroyed shoulder. Since then he has lost a ton of speed and the game-changing plays have disappeared. He still makes a ton of tackles in the secondary but that alone is not worth much and he is asking for much more than "much".


edit: First Eric Berry is a giant compared to Tyrann Mathieau and second we haven't seen if Berry has lost speed yet, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime he's already under contract so this is comparing apples and oranges.

Yeah and right now we have Daniel ****ing Sorenson so tell me in what world Daniel Sorenson is more talented than Tyrann. Mine as well trot John McGraw back out there rather than Sorenson. Dude is beyond garbage.

Sorensen ****ing sucks. Dorsey can take him

I will never understand CP's fascination with broke dicks.

Mathieu was cut for a reason.

There are more defensive backs in the world than these two guys. I'm not saying don't pick up another db I'm saying don't take this walking calamity. Especially since he's demanding a ton of money.

I’d rather spend 11 million per on a dl a corner and a safety

How about Vaccaro?

He’d be a better option.

Now that i think about it? Chiefs should sign a safety and go hard at trading in the 1st round to get a CB. I think thats realistically possible.

Tyrann Mathieau cut

I'm not saying we should sign him, I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of calling him broken while ignoring that Berry has missed nearly 3x as many games.

Sure but he’s still young atleast

But his size would be my concern I’d go elsewhere

Yes, Cancer is the same thing. Exactly. Totally valid.

ACL, Achilles...
Give him a break - he is right.

Berry missed 40 games due to cancer?

****, what rock have I been living under?

Would rather spend the money on Richardson

Dumb

Overrated.

To be fair, Berry hasn't played as poorly as Mathieu did after his injuries. Not since his rookie year, anyway.

Mathieu just plain hasn't been good after his recovery. Berry (at this stage of his career anyway) hasn't lost a single step upon returning when he's been out of commission.

That’s because Berry is a ****ing transformer

Y’all are stupid. Line him up with Berry and guarantee they ball out.

Or fall out of the lineup. Injury risk would be sky high. And there’s no bigger EB29 fan than me. He is 29 coming back from an Achilles. We need to temper our expectations just a bit. He’s my Superman and I think he’ll be great, but I just want him to not rush it. He did it early in the season so that should be an issue like DJ.

Always felt honey badger was a tuff s.o.b.

He balled out in Arizona and proved he no longer had issues with smoking weed, which historically he definitely had.

He was fun to watch when he was performing, last year I don’t remember him doing anything, not sure if he was hurt or what.

Would rather get younger and draft a safety and make Sorenson play inside in dime.

Chiefs are going to play more nickel than dime this year anyways. Should be interesting to see if we use more AA concepts.

I’d rather spend that Money on Sheldon Richardson

I don’t know if we have enough cap + magic.

Eric Berry is about to have a monster season. Watch.

Missouri, Kansas and Iowa homers make me ****ing crazy.

Stop it, ****ers.

Sadly,Missouri state doesn t exactly produce enough studs for me to homer up over.

Although I did workout with Dylan cole when he was at rogersvile a few times

Other than that give me Sheldon

If he wants too much prolly not

And in terms of Matthieu it sounded to me like he was saying they’d exhausted that option

**** that ****

They need a **** on the dl to cause some havoc

They need talent.

Not attitude or “bad dudes”.

Just talent.

I’d say Richardson is pretty talented

If anyone knows Sheldon it’s Sutton. He coached him didn’t he?

When the talent only performs when the talent wants to perform, there’s a problem

He’s a headcase but I don’t remember him ever having effort issues

Seattle and Minny are battling for him

Well Tyvone Branch was always injured and had a nice season here in KC

We just got rid of a headcase...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Spoke to free agent DB Tyrann Mathieu yesterday evening.

So not KC then.

Mathieu is freaking 25 years old... how much younger do you want, high school age?

Well then come on down honey badger.....:clap:

Lol

Eric Berry will be 30 soon. Seems that like time flew by.

This shit had me laughing out loud!

I think it's a bad gamble. Regardless of the cost.
We are already betting on too many repaired bodies.

Right & Left ACL injury history.....Ummm, I'd pass.....:harumph:

At this point, with as many spots to fill on D, 1 or 2 year rentals are the best options IMO. Only so many can be addressed in the draft, and most of them may not be ready to start week 1.

Two injuries. Compete inability to regain quick twitch movement he was known for.

He's done. Let someone else pay him...

Continue to hear the cost of landing Earl Thomas or Tyrann Mathieu likely to run around $11M/year if they get their number
-@jasonlacanfora

How does anyone in the right mind think Tyrann should be making the same amount as Earl Thomas?

Would be funny if he took a deal with the Rams just for the awesomeness.

No one does. Just Tyrann.

Maybe if he went to the Marcus Peters School of Tackling he could prolong his career.

The only reason this might happen is because Tyrann has the exact attitude and drive Veach was talking about. If Veach can get the dude to realize he isn’t worth the money he is asking due to big injuries and size then maybe he can sell him on playing with guys with his type of attitude.... Berry, Hitchens, Fuller, Chris Jones being the biggest.

Lol wtf? I get confidence but there's no way he and his agent think he's worth even half that
Posted via Mobile Device

Yeah he seems like a Veach kinda guy. Don’t think we can afford him though.

I don’t know, do you think he would take Albert Wilson money? 3 years 24 million?

Pretty sure he wouldn't restructure because he thought he would get more than what his contract was on the open market

I don't like safeties under 5'11" and I don't like them under 200 pounds. Prefer 6'0-6'2" and about 210-215.

In other words, I have no use for Mathieu.

Arizona was trying to get him to 9M per year, IIRC.

Yep. Look at Bob Sanders. Same deal. Heckuva an athlete who could bring the wood for sure but he was injured a lot as well IIRC.

I don't see how the hell he gets that much.

Maybe 7.

But what do I know.

LMAO Colquitt and Jones reccruiting him on twitter.

LMAO

?

He won't IMHO. All the GMs that are interested in him will indirectly from a collective perspective let him know that he has a high risk injury factor that plays into his future contract and big $$ and high risk injury do not go together.

They've both sent tweets to him telling him to come to KC. Means absolutely **** all.

Umm
