Chiefs Combine Rumors: Dorsey says Chiefs are "Out of the FA Market"

Well, this is interesting.....

From the article:

Quote:

General manager John Dorsey has told people here in Indianapolis that the Kansas City Chiefs are out of the free-agent market after the team recently re-signed safety Eric Berry and guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to large contracts.

Whether you want to believe it or not is your call, but it makes sense as to why he might be saying that given our cap situation. With most of the roster already still intact, it is possible that Dorsey decides to roll with their draft class and some late veteran additions on vet contracts.

Makes sense. We can't afford anyone else.

NFL.com has our cap at somewhere around $9M right now.

No surprise here. Just bring in another great draft class (including a QB) and we're good.

**The Franchise** · 03-03-2017, 10:35 AM

This draft class is going to be good for adding quality depth (and maybe 1 or 2 starters) to our roster. I still think they trade some picks though because I don't see how we're fitting 11 players on our roster.

They need to extend or tender Santos and Sorenson, though...

They do that and its basically the same team - Poe + a draft class and whatever comes during camp.

You can't be in the FA market every year. No team is.

The Chiefs are investing in talented home grown talent which is what you want.

It's just a smoke screen. Romo, AP and Brandon Marshall were all just spotted buying bread at Wal-Mart in Overland Park, KS.

You can't make that shit up.

The offense is all coming back, and the only needs there appear to be developmental QB, HB, and WR depth.

On defense, this draft is supposed to be one of the deepest ever. Load up on it and we might get a few starters at some point in the future.

I still think we would be better off drafting a swing tackle in the middle rounds and cutting Jah Reid.

And I wouldn't be surprised to see Reid and Dorsey run with the ILBs that we have now (barring a top one falling to them).

Good no Tyrod Taylor

The cap situation makes me believe this is true, that doesn't mean they still couldn't pull a trade off for some help. Maybe they could get Kendricks from Philly for our comp 3rd.

No need for Dirty Dan when you've got a talented box stuffer in Eric Murray along with a great S class.

I disagree with part of Pest's post. There's a ton of depth guys we need to replace.

DAT
Reid
Fulton
O'Shags--we desperately need a blocker here
Gaines
Zombo

We need to buffer our depth. If we move a pick to go up and get a QB, I hope Dorsey trades down with the 2nd rd pick to make up for it.

This draft is going to have signficant value through round 4.

All depends on what they think of JML. It seemed that they liked him, but then he wasn't used when brought back off IR.

As the roster is currently comprised, to me it is imperative that they draft a developmental QB, possible day one ILB, CB who can compete for a job, possible future starting RB, and a blocking TE.

That's the only thing that I would be ok with. And it wouldn't be for a comp 3rd. I'd throw them a 4th.

For the second straight year this team can't get better by making moves. You either get worse or better and we didn't get better last year and will not this year.

Spinning our wheels sucks. Maxed out cap and shit to show for it.
