Trade deadline update....brief take from Coach Reid
 

The general feeling in Kansas City post-deadline day is that the Chiefs tried all they could to make a deadline move happen, but the fit and value just weren’t there.

We referred you to the report from friend of the site Terez Paylor (Yahoo! Sports) this morning, who wrote this:

The Chiefs expressed interest in (Landon) Collins, but the Giants weren’t interested in trading him, Yahoo Sports has learned. Same goes for (Patrick) Peterson, who the Cardinals also weren’t open to trading. A source with knowledge of the club’s thinking also told Yahoo Sports that the Chiefs were not interested in (Janoris) Jenkins, an expensive, 30-year-old corner with uneven tape this season.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to yet, read Paylor’s full column for a glimpse into the Chiefs’ thinking. Paylor also goes through the several reasons the Chiefs didn’t trade for safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, who ultimately landed with Alex Smith in Washington. I provided my take on the Chiefs standing pat at the deadline here.

Still-Giants safety Landon Collins told SNY the Giants wanted a first or second-round pick for his services, plus an additional pick next year.

The local Kansas City media asked Chiefs head coach Andy Reid for his take on the quiet deadline on Wednesday. In response, Reid told the media to ask general manager Brett Veach, who wasn’t made available for questions.

“I mean that’d probably be a good question for Brett (Veach),” Reid said. “I know where his mind is, there just wasn’t anything there that he felt he needed to move on. He felt comfortable with doing that. He’s not going to do something just to do it to appease.

“He’s going to do what’s best for the Chiefs and he’s really good about that. That’s just where he’s at.”

I’m good with this. Woulda liked to get a difference maker, but none were to be had. **** it, we’re 7-1, and hopefully gonna get some injured players back soon!

Who wouldn’t want to come to KC to be on the same team as PMII? Soon all free agents will be paying to play on his team.




True fan

Perfectly content with Ron Parker blowing coverages for touchdowns, got it

Can't argue with you on that. But the vibe from Terez Paylor and others was that the Chiefs were seriously interested in Collins and Peterson. Giants & Cards weren't taking offers.

i read that they wanted a 2nd for collins and we only wanted to give a 3rd.

Just makes me like Veach more. He's aggressive, he wants to look for improvements, but not at the expense of the future of this team. Plus he's not about to make decisions out of desperation. Dude's calculated.

Think we have a gem of a GM.

Maybe a little more than that?

According to sources close to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, multiple NFL teams offered the Giants trades for Collins prior to the deadline, including the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to Vacchiano's source, the Giants set the baseline for a deal: at least a 2019 second-round NFL Draft pick and a 2020 lower-round draft pick. According to the same source, no team offered the Giants more than a third-round draft pick.

I'm not sure I would have given a 2nd and more considering he's up for FA next year. He'll break the bank and we already have the highest paid NFL safety sitting on the bench.

I'm calling b******* on the fact that Andy said he leaves it all to veach. I'm sure he has some input into this.

Why? I'm sure that Veach probably talks to Andy about decisions like this, but ultimately it is Veach's call.

I think Andy Reid likes staying out of the personnel side when he has someone he trusts doing it. And I think he trusts BV since he pretty much hand-picked him.

I was in the camp of trading a low pick for a good player nearing the end of his prime. Something like the Rams who traded a 5th for Talib this offseason.

I am Ok with standing pat.

If you want them to re-sign guys like Chris Jones, Tyreek Hill, Dee Ford, etc., then they are going to need to those draft picks on rookie contracts.

If he's not content with that he has healthy, better safeties already on the team he can play.

EXACTLY!!!!
