Skins just lost Phil Taylor for the year. Wonder if they'd take a Nt for Jones?

Perhaps -- but I've never known an athlete to get healthier by continually playing him.

If they're playing him now, he's only going to get less healthy as the season wears on.

I think he's just getting back into game shape.

It's not like he's a small man, so it'll take some time.

McQuay over White. I think McQuay can play both spots. White has really struggled.

Who would the chiefs have to cut and what would it cost to trade for Shady?

Shady carries a fat cap number, doesn't he?

That's just not in the cards for us.

I'll look at the cap when I'm not on my phone, but it just seems like a bridge too far.

8 mil iirc:

I've dozed off in the 4th of every game and haven't had any time to re-watch on the DVR.

What are you seeing from McQuay?

He got first string reps at S and has the size and speed. I think it's more DJ White struggling as I haven't heard/seen one good thing from him so far.

I think McQuay would be poached from the practice squad. Guys with the size, speed and experience he has will be gambled on eventually.

Small updates; with Ragland on board, I think they'll see less need for a developmental ILB in Smith so I suspect Smith is now gone. Sadly, this means that Zombo is back on the squad.

Hey Direk - Cam Erving is on the block. I'd consider giving up a 6th for him. Maybe.

But maybe not. He's probably terrible. I'd need to see if he can be counted on as s genuine swing tackle. Most people seem to believe he cannot.

I'd give up nothing more than a 2021 7th rounder but I think he'll clear waivers, so if the Chiefs want him, they can sign him then.

I'd be surprised if they wanted him.

I guess I wasn't paying attention and need to go back and re-watch.

But he only spent one day at CB and while the Chiefs initially suggested that's where they'd play him, I can't see them keeping him at a CB at this point.

I think he clears waivers. Keep in mind, some team would need to cut one of their safeties in order to claim him.

$8 million is his cap number but I'd imagine Buffalo would eat his Dead Cap, so the Chiefs would only be responsible for $6 million.

That said, I highly doubt they're going to trade him on the cheap and he IS 29 years old, so the wheels could fall of at any time.

To understand my desire to acquire Erving, one really needs to watch Jah Reid play.

He is, without question, the worst player on the roster. I mean all the way through 90. He's unbelievably bad at playing tackle and he's absolutely going to get someone hurt.

Remember - the one single !@#$ing play he was in for during the playoff game had him in as an extra tackle and he STILL got torched so badly that Smith was hit as he threw, leading to an interception.

He's unbelievably bad. And he's somehow been worse this pre-season than he's ever been.

I refuse to believe he's going to make this team. I just cannot fathom it.

That worthless **** has the 12th highest cap hit on this team. Let that sink in.
