What the hell

Bleh.

Does not make sense. Is he even going to be able to play football anymore?

Man... I forgot I still have my DAT signature on...

Nice to see Anthony staying in ketchup and mustard.

I like it, assuming it was cheap. He's a quality special teamer and he fits in with what Andy likes to do.

We have signed LB Terrance Smith and WR De’Anthony Thomas.

Gayest signing so far. Should basically be a camp invite.

I guess he has made some really nice plays with Patrick before.

Why?

But we can still cut him, right?

absolutely!

Damn. That's a really undersized NT

De’Anthony Thomas turned down $1.5M more from another team to stay in KC. Must like what they are building.

Okay, that’s a guy that I want.

I don't mind the DAT signing. I think they'll have a lot more opportunity for gadget plays with this new offense. I thought Albert Wilson would have a real nice role in this offense, but maybe DAT plays a lot more of a Wilson role. Now that we're going more vertical it doesn't hurt to have an option who can sprint into a route out of the backfield.

Terrance Smith... I guess he's cheap, but he's been totally worthless whenever he's played.

His leg is mangled

Eddie K approves. "Goin' to put something on dat ass."

Smith is fine on special teams. He's basically free against the cap. Why not bring him along for training camp at least?

Besides, it's not like Eligwe has been amazing. People only like him because they assume he has potential

Two + special teams contributors on the cheap. Nothing wrong with this.

Just teach DAT not to field balls over his head inside the 10....

Why? A step backward.

Now we are gonna win the SB FOR SURE!!!

Lolwut? Just a punt returner on a cheap deal.

How many WRs we going to keep?

Six for sure

Nice. Hope DAT is healthy and contributes. We need some affordable players on offense that know the system.

Speaking of special teams....how long before Colquitt is cut? No way Chiefs keep him at $4M.

He's a FA and the Chiefs are currently in the middle of re-signing him.

Yeah and it's dumb. Why?

Right. But his cap hit last year was a really high $4.9M. He's 35, but I'd be surprised if he wants to take less than that. I would also be surprised if the Chiefs' sign him anywhere near that salary. You can get the best punters in college (and there are some good ones) late in the draft. Unless you're the Faiders. :)

IDK, but even at the vet minimum he's going to be more expensive than what i think the Chiefs should be spending there. Too many holes on this roster.

Agree. BTW, there's a punter and backup QB thread now.

Hill, Watkins, Conley, Robinson, Chesson

I don't see the room for him on the roster

gross

6th WR/3rd RB is my guess

:shake:

He's 25.

It appears we're not going to be very invested in drafting another dude like Keke Coutee.

Robinson and Chesson are far from automatic roster guys. Neither is Conley, for that matter. And DAT hopefully has a small enough contract that we could cut him in preseason if we had to. In any case, they're certainly not going to draft another midget. That's just too many.

He was talking about Colquitt.

Oh duh

This was in response to Colquitt, not DAT. Try and keep up. :)

Well it's only the craziest day of the sports year during work hours!

Great. Can't wait to start our drives from the 12 yard line this year.

Dat is not good. **** dat.

:facepalm:

Oh, I sure do... Probably between Robinson and Chesson and now list the RB's and put him down as # 3. The guy has value when healthy and used properly.

The Chiefs carried DAT last year with Hill, Conley, Chesson, Robinson and Wilson.

I think Chesson makes the squad because he's a very good special teamer with a chance of becoming a solid possession receiver over the middle but I think Robinson is on thin ice.

Nailed it with the first post... wtf?

This signing confuses the hell outta me, but man I sure do love it when guys put something above the money... it says something about their priorities

Yet his time here has been such a mixed bag, this is weird... but go with your gut, Brett Veach

I'm perfectly ok with this. Thomas is a valuable role player and special teamer. Hopefully he just learns to kneel on kickoffs though.

Meh

I was hoping they’d draft his replacement.

Nope. Would rather Maclin than DAT.

May just be a body for an arm to throw to at camp. Red will show him off in the 2nd/3rd string preseason sets where he should look good...good enough that when he gets cut, he can go to Cleveland or Miami for a final NFL payday or two.

The coaches do look after the players they like (as people) like that...

Chiefs Resign Themselves to Re-Signing DeAnthony Thomas

How's 8th grade going

Great, now we get to see more dumb****ery with the return game.

He had that mystery AIDS thing going on for him in 2015. I suspect a bunch of it was some sort of depression, too. I imagine he feels like Andy Reid and the team pulled him out of it and saved his career, so maybe it's some kind of thing where he feels like he owes them?

That's 100% speculation on my part. I'm just guessing.

The thing I hate most about DAT being on the team is when they let him play.

I’ll be curious if they use him in the slot

gave up 1.5 million to stay? I don't know if I would give that up as a depth player.

What if it was MIAMI, and they wanted to pair him with Amendola and Bert?!

He'll have a longer career in KC. It's definitely the right move for DAT.

I dont get this. I really dont. I get all you guys arguments.. I just dont see it. This dude is ****in booty.

We needed someone to attempt to return punts inside the 5 and DAT was just the best player on the market. Bonus points as he's never met a pylon he'll stretch inside of to get a TD.

i dare the team that offered 1.5 mil more to stand up. i call bullshit. :D

Seems like a fair stab at it

He's too small to play NT

Can anyone think of a faster group than Tyreek, Watkins, Conley and DAT in a 4 receiver set with Hunt at RB? Talk about "speed kills".

Who the heck is Watson?

My bad, only on 1st cup of coffee when typing this and it hadn't reached my fingers.

Isn’t this the deal people wanted to sign Fulton to!

I'm not convinced that he'll make the final roster, to be honest. Good luck to him, though.
