Chiefs Should the Chiefs look at S Minkah Fitzpatrick as a CB? - Page 17

Megatron96 · 06:11 PM

So I've come around to the idea that we might need to address the CB situation sooner rather than later.

In that vein, I was wondering what we think of S Minkah Fitzpatrick of the Miami Dolphins.

6' 1" 200 lbs.

2018 stats
80 tackles
9 pass defended
2 INTs

I know, he's listed as a safety. But last year, out of 1,000 snaps played, he actually played over the slot and on the boundary in nearly 700 snaps. And when he was targeted, he allowed just a 51% completion rate, and a QB rating of only 49%. Okay, 49.7%.

And while he's still got 3 years to go on his contract, he looks cheap, at about 3-4 million/year.

Maybe a solid possibility?

He was a very good corner at Bama right? So if getting the likes of Howard, Slay and Peterson isn't possible, then why not do a deal like this?

Veach needs to make the deal. Do we need picks or a damn CB? We need a CB that's better than Ward and he's cheap.

Pats got Brown because of us and we will not beat them with our current secondary. Would be a long shot.

Why are we that scared of Brown? He had shitty stats against Buttons terrible defense last year, 17 targets 9 receptions 67 yards no touchdowns.

Im honestly assuming that theres alot of interest in MF and the price is climbing. Ive seen alot of smoke on social media from alot of fan bases who seem to think hes an upgrade at one of 6 posistions.

Chiefs cut former sixth-round pick Tremon Smith, per a league source. Chiefs have injuries at wide receiver and needed to make a roster move

We’re making room!!

They’re making room for a 5th WR.

Exactly. He isn’t going to be cheap.

With who throwing him the ball, Brady?

Why would he? He’s a mid first round pick from a year ago that’s actually preformed very well. He’s worth a 1st and a mid to lower pick at least.

Thanks. I just saw the thread and the tweet.

I'm not sure that I buy that Smith was cut to bring in a receiver. It's the day before game day. They had all week to make this move. The only injury to a wide receiver came last Sunday. And why cut him without making an add at the same time? No, there is something going on behind the scenes that hasn't been released yet. First, they cleared $10 million in cap space, now this. I'll be surprised if there isn't a trade for corner help announced soon.

Buckweath · 09-14-2019, 08:36 AM

I would certainly think cutting Tremon Smith has nothing to do with a potential trade.
