Danna back on a 3 year deal

[scho63]

Not bad, not bad at all.

Strange to see Danna go for this much this late in free agency. I figured his market was half that by now.

This is nice. He's a very solid piece on that DL.

[BWillie]

I like him but what is the bro getting paid?

[phisherman]

Just for kicks, I compared Danna's stats last year to any of Frank Clark's years in KC and I'd be interested to see anyone try to say, after the same comparison, that this isn't a pretty darn good deal in relation.

In relation, setting $10 million/season on fire at the 50 yard line is a pretty darn good deal.

Fair enough but I think that you can get my point. This was a decent deal for a proven solid performer. The binary nature of all player assessment blows my mind when discussing contracts like these.

Just over four million a year guaranteed for Danna's production is a heck of a deal, no matter how you cut it. IMO, he's earned that deal and then some.

5 years and 63 million guaranteed versus 3 years and 13 million guaranteed? Jesus, folks, seek help if you think the Chiefs overpaid.

Should we be concerned about FAU?

I'd lose sleep over it tonight if I were you.

Admittedly, I'm an optimist by nature. And though I read EVERYTHING about the sport (and have done so for a very long time), I don't have the same level of expertise on the nuances of the game as many posters here. It's why I come to CP in the first place -- to learn new things about my favorite football team, the Kansas City Chiefs. And it's the reason I repeatedly come back despite it getting pretty ugly around here at times.

Which is a long way to say that I don't know if FAU will be a superior football player. But everything I've read indicates we took a flier on him because he has some unique abilities to get to the quarterback. But I also read that, while he has the frame for it, he needed to gain twenty pounds over what was, essentially, a redshirt year.

Because the flier was a first round pick, the team now has an EDGE for four more years at a very reasonable price (three if he doesn't warrant picking up the option). The first round pick is gone; it's a sunk cost. What matters going forward is whether FAU is an above-average rotational piece on a deep defensive line. A star, or even Danna-level production, would be a fine thing at the price the team is paying.

Outside of reports on our new draft-pick-to-be WR (second round), there is no player I'm more interested in hearing about at training camp.

For the record, the Chiefs' first round pick this year will be a LT.

I'm delighted to see him back. He's a two-time Super Bowl champion.
