Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse will hit the market.
 

I always liked this guy as a #2 WR.

Thoughts?

Sign him.

We need a real #2 for Maclin. Kearse would be perfect.

No more large contracts to WRs.

Maclin is great. I'm glad we signed him. But we can't afford another one.

There's all of this quibbling about spending too much money on defense. "If we pay Howard, then we're spending too much on the DL, blah blah blah."

Kearse is going to be searching for a larger payday than we're going to want to give him. He'll be looking for something that a 900-1000 yard receiver would be getting.

With Maclin cracking 1000 yards as the #1, and considering that is the first time a single receiver has ever caught at least 1000 receiving yards from Alex Smith, it's just not worth it to pursue a WR2 in free agency unless you want another cheap-as-beans Donnie Avery that everybody will hate.

Draft another WR. Do your ****ing homework, Dorsey, and draft us a good corps of WRs. ****, even the Jacksonville Jaguars are having success at it. It's not ****ing hard. Just ****ing do it.

you could probably get him for 3.5-4 million. We gave that to Donnie Avery and he was a turd.

Given his comments?

The San Antonio/Oakland/LA/Dubuque/Columbus/St. Louis Raiders will give him way more than that. And he'll probably say yes. Because cash.

I think Conley can be a good #2.

As do I.. but can the Chiefs really afford to rely on this?

The problem at WR is that aside from Maclin and apart from what Avant is, everyone else is young, unproven, or just mysterious as to whether they will step it up or simply are what they are... which is bleh as starters.

So as is, plus adding a rd 1-3 rookie or 2nd/3rd tier vet in FA? That's all well and good... but if Maclin loses time again? KC could be just as screwed at WR.

So are the Chiefs that different from other teams at WR? If every other team loses their #1 wideout... how does their WR corps look then?

Maclin missed a game with a concussion and wasn't at 100% during the playoffs. We need someone that can possibly pass for a #1 in games where the #1 isn't in.

I love Conley and think that his potential is vast. I'd also like to see who Dorsey drafts.

Kearse would definitely be an upgrade, but yeah, at what cost?

^ guess the next question is, how many teams are paying out large $ to more than one WR?

We know Denver throws out big money to their guys Thomas and Sanders. Same for Atlanta with Julio and Roddy. Redskins with Garcon and Desean J. GB with Nelson and Cobb..

For what the Chiefs do.. I don't see them springing for another WR making 6+ mil per yr. They are likely gearing up for the Kelce contract soon enough.

So, any good #2 types available for 3-5 mil per? Maybe even a vet that has only a few good years left?

I think it's time to give Jason Avant his shot! Did you see him against the Patriots? He's like Larry Fitzgerald! Get this guy on the field already. He's only 32 and just beginning to enter his prime.

Not sure what you see in him Shun? He's slow and doesn't get open.

I think they have plans to get Conley that #2 role and I would love it bc I think he can be really solid there.

I'm in favor of getting another receiver in the draft that can run routes well and get open. Sterling Shepard would be awesome.

No thanks.

Isn't he from Seattle?
