I think that $4 million per for Fasano, considering his production with less than stellar QB's over the years, is just about right on the money.

And like DeVito, my consternation comes with paying 'market' rates for guys that just aren't that useful for this team at this time. (For the record, the Bears were idiots to give Bennett that kind of money; he's going to be a mess, especially with Brandon Marshall as his running partners).

Fasano's a damn nice player; I like him. But I don't see how you justify paying for a $4 million insurance policy when you have so many holes already. I also don't see how they would be wise to move on from Moeaki when he finally looked to be coming back around as the season wound down last year.

DeVito is a fine player if you're getting push elsewhere on your line but the Chiefs aren't. He just doesn't fit the guys we already have. He's redundant and even at market value, he just isn't someone you should be paying for.

Too bad Smith can't make any of those throws.

They're creating a baseline of depth, and then they'll (hopefully) draft better players to come in behind these stop-gaps they're signing in free agency in a year or two.

Exactly. I wish more here had your logic.

Yep. Completely agree.

QB? Meh we're reduced to hoping he can have a Rich Gannon type of career now.

Everything else? Pretty solid on the moves thus far.

I have no idea how people can bitch about this move.

He's exactly what we needed opposite of Bowe and haven't had in Bowe's entire career. If he's on the field, he's going to be a damn nice weapon for us.

Yes, yes it does. It makes it the same old shit.

mcaj22 · 03-13-2013, 10:36 AM

what's the numbers

im not good at the WR market so Ill guess 3 years 9.5 million for this steamy turd

chiefscafan · 03-13-2013, 10:36 AM

Actually five teams were interested in devito we offered more

Also all the chase Daniel hate six teams wanted him too

That's a bidding war

I love Avery pickup not sure our qbs can hit him in stride though

Well, I like him, but I wonder about two things:

1. That's a lot of drops.

2. How much were his stats inflated by playing on a team that threw it 628 times? We're not throwing it that much.

We'll see, but he certainly excites me more than any other WR on the roster that isn't Bowe.

And I'm hopeful that he's the ****ing death of Dexter McCluster.

Reid loves him some McCluster.

Is Avery suppose to be a slot? Seems more like a wideout.

mcaj22 · 03-13-2013, 10:40 AM

Avery played the #2 opposite of Reggie Wayne

TY Hilton was their slot.

So essentially he's gotta beat out Jon Baldwin. And if he does, that's really sad for Baldwin, cause that makes Baldwin, a first round pick, WR4 on the depth chart lol.

Avery isn't a slot WR, but one more WR who's > McCluster is good enough for me.

Fight for your job you little worthless midget.
