Neato.

Siler? No. I just gave you an example of a guy who is, IMO, just as good as Teo skill wise at ILB.

There will be alot of turnover, but you don't have to sink high draft picks on every spot to get a good player.

Obviously, we have to lock up Bowe and Albert. But we are also going to have Jacksons money and Cassels money to use.

There are some intriguing options at FS in this years Free agency class that I would look at. Not specifically pay a guy high money, but for depth wouldn't be a bad idea.

There's always Byrd, from Buffalo, who is a great FS and young.

People keep saying that Tyson Jackson will be released and Dorsey is a FA. That makes DE very important. If we lose both of our starting DE's we will have to use a high pick on DE.

No.

The position NEEDS to be addressed. You don't trade a 3rd rounder for a receiver IF you have three receivers under contract. As a matter of fact, the Chiefs shouldn't trade for a receiver, period. Too many needs at other positions.



Whatever. It's all about the signing bonus, not the "cap hit".

If they switch to the 4-3, which I think would be a major setback considering the Chiefs have three linebackers in place to effectively run the 3-4, they can address that position in free agency.

There's no reason to spend a 2nd rounder on a DE, period.

The guaranteed money. Give a guy $30 million upfront spread it over 7 years and pay him $500k a year for the first few years. That's the way other teams constantly sign free agent talent.

It does need addressed.

Curious your feelings on any free agent spending this offseason?

The Senior Bowl and Combines will provide some information. The first few days of Free Agency will provide some direction.

But until the Chiefs name their offensive and defensive coordinators and begin to assess the roster, it's silly, IMO, to attempt to address anything with a hypothetical.

And JFC, I forgot: CB is a MUCH more important need than DE, even if the Chiefs lose Dorsey and Jackson. FTR, Dorsey can go. Jackson can come back at a reasonable salary. If not, **** 'em both.
