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.” https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2018/...ade-to-appease Last edited by T-post Tom; 11-01-2018 at 04:41 AM.. |

It sounds like Veach has the big picture mentality. A lot of us fans are sick and tired of watching the franchise reach for that golden ring only to fall off the ladder. So we bitch, moan and cry about making moves. There is a reason we are doing the jobs we are doing and Veach is doing the job he is doing!

I really like Landon Collins but he is not the missing piece to winning games. They're doing that with scrub safeties and with Sorenson and possibly Berry coming back we already have the talent injection for the playoffs.
The Giants are gigantic idiots, by the way. They now get nothing and Collins will leave anyway. |

Thomas doesn’t break his leg, he’d probably be in a Chiefs uniform now.

I think the problem with the Chiefs getting Landon was that he's good and young. At 24 he's a dude a rebuilding team can build around. I also don't think the Giants need a total rebuild, they just need a quarterback. I really think a QB fixes 70% of what's wrong with that team. |

Of course. But when Andy tries to tell us he leaves it all to veach? With no input? I don't think so.

True. And to say that Veach didn't address the safety position during the off season is not true. He drafted Watts and O'Daniel and traded for Lucas. Plus he was counting on Berry and didn't know Sorensen would be injured.

And in the great scheme of things the loss at NE doesn't really matter. You have to win games at the end of the season, you control your own destiny.

Right now we control our own destiny. It doesn't matter until the Chiefs lose more games.

It was Veach who screamed to anyone in the Chiefs organization that they had to move up and get Mahomes. Reid has spoken publicly about the number of times Veach was in his face that Mahomes was the man. Corner him and make him come and watch new tape on Mahomes. Moved Reid’s meetings to allow him to talk Mahomes to Reid. Seems to me that Reid is going to trust his judgement after that experience.
