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.. |

There's an almost panic here about losing like SIX players. Signing Landon Collins wasn't going to prevent them from signing Tyreek Hill because NOTHING is going to prevent that. He's a generational talent. In fact, signing Landon Collins would have forced something with Eric Berry, who is currently doing nothing but ruining the cap situation. |

Watts was a 4th round pick. He wasn't ever part of the solution. He was going to play special teams and spot duty at safety.

Chiefs saw these guys as rentals, not part of the long term solution. All there is to it.

Either way, it wasn't in the cards. They didn't do anything and it's time to move on. |

Let’s revisit this thread when we get bounced out of the playoffs in the first round and give up a twenty point lead because Ron Parker is too slow to help over the top and does little for run support. A 2nd for Collins wouldn’t look so bad then. Also lose another year off of Mahomes rookie contract.

Yup, your right. Nothing we can do now. I understand we’re winning right now but once playoffs start all the teams pick it up a notch it seems. Our shakey secondary worries me. The season has been a blast to watch with Mahomes and I hope he can get us over the hump.

Were you in the room with Brett and Andy? DRob was a 4th and Hill (maybe because of his antics) was a 5th. I'm not saying that all 4ths work out. We all know 1s and 2s aren't always winners, either.

Yep. Also, didn't think Mahomes would be this good this early, so that was a steering factor last off season.

He was a 4th round pick. How often are 4th round picks taken to be day 1 starters? Furthermore, he wasn't a day 1 starter so that pretty much proves my point. |
