Good

Can we match the offer because of the UFA tender?

So, we get compensation.

wow r00de. **** you too ingram.

at least it counts for our comp picks ig

no idea what we are going to do now. we need at least one more proven body on the line

Steelers again!

Well, that sucks. Comp pick or not. That’s disappointing.

Really weird the Dolphins didn’t come to terms with him before the deadline though.

**** HIM!!!!!!

No, his signing does zero for comp picks.

No signings after April 27 count.

I do wonder if the Quinn trade will happen. I find it REALLY hard to believe that Veach is done with the DL.

Chiefs get a comp pick they used the UFA tender on him

Sounds like the rarely used UFA tender still applies to the comp formula, even after the deadline.

Ugh.. DE position still looking weak. Still not sure if Frank is still looking at a suspension sometime either. Might want to kick the tires on Clowney on a one year deal.

Do we sign Trey Flowers?

given the structure of the ufa tender kc knew in advance what ingram was getting and chose not to beat it. they definitely have a plan b. i wonder if that quinn rumor has some smoke to it or if veach is winding up to kick the tires on clowney.

He was vastly overrated on here average player that looked way better playing next to shit.

Well. ****.

Good.

Play the young kids, we can still add some veterans to the pass rush.

I am displeased.

Obligatory over-the-hill & overrated.

With the cap space we have and acknowledgement that we have a need at EDGE, there’s no way we placed the UFA tender on Ingram because we wanted him back. We almost assuredly could’ve exceeded Miami’s offer if we truly wanted to Ingram back.

Think we did this because we knew a team like MIA would sign him to an offer over $4.4M and we’d pick up the comp pick. There are still plenty of solid veteran edge rushers that we can add to the rotation that would have the same impact as Ingram.

If George doesn't care, I don't care.

Guys we got ONE SACK with Ingram on the field against Cinci who had one of the worst o-lines in playoff history so needless to say I ain't crying right now. I'm actually happy Veach has to move in a different direction now..Clowney is simply better than Ingram and should be the target.

Rakeem Nunez-Roches for the win

Wrong.

I trust in Brian Leetch

Let’s trade the comp pick for him at the trade deadline!

He was massively underrated on here. Shame he's not returning, he would once again have immediately improved our DL. As it stands, there's nothing left in FA of note beyond Clowney, who'll be twice as expensive and a poorer pass rusher.

Who? Sorry, I think this is just wrong. He was the best left. If we want to improve the pass rush from the DE we'll need a trade.

Good move.

Well, a better move would have been to actually sign him I think.

Chiefs still thin at DE.

Your passive aggressiveness and false bravado this offseason is hilarious.

****.

So much for the theory that he was just avoiding as much of preseason as he could.

Dude ****in sucks and is washed since he didn’t sign here

Er NEWSFLASH!!..Clowney got nine sacks last season which is as much as Ingram has got in THE LAST THREE SEASONS!!..so your last statement is simply garbage..fullstop.

Veach failed with the pass rush. Unless one of our second year guys kills it we will not get much pressure.

That's fine if you think sacks are the only measure of competence. Anybody who saw our defence last year before and after Ingram, and also watched him play, would have to be blind to not see the impact.

He didn’t really take any swings. Even when there were opportunities. He could’ve signed Ingram I’m sure.

Makes me think that there is a trade in the works. Robert Quinn seems to be the popular name.

You can’t fix everything in one offseason. This secondary was a disaster last year.

Matheiu and Sorenson got old and slow, Thornhill got benched, Hughes sucked, Baker sucked and we lost Ward.

Thank God we were able to use resources to fix that and add Karlaftis/Chenab due to the Tyreek trade. Best thing we can do now add a vet DE.

You can sugar-coat it all you like..the facts are the facts. He got two sacks in KC..if you think he was prime Derrick Thomas here then go ahead buddy :D

I think DJLN probably called it right. The Chiefs are betting on Frank Clark.

Ingram was good for us near the end of the season but who knows if he would have held up all year playing a lot of snaps

Justin Houston be the backup plan ?

I wonder if the staff has high expectations for Karlaftis, Kaindoh, and Herring

His motivation was moolah

we need one more scary guy

ya grab Clowney or something ffs but at least we might get a comp pick now right?

Carcosa is going to want him dead!

That's rough, MIA did this just to sock it to us.

Spags is going to create pressure from every level. Would have been great to get Melvin, but I am sure we have a Plan B ready.

Hit the road you piece of shit!

Veach has to have a back up plan. I understand Veach didn't want to pay close to Ogbah money for Ingram. That's a big loss though.

To be honest I liked the focus on the secondary in the draft and FA. Our DL was turd last year, Ingram absolutely elevated it. But we've chosen to focus on shoring up the secondary, that's fine by me. It's also possible he finally starts showing his age and falls off a cliff. But the idea that he was mediocre for us last year, especially compared to what else we had out there, is bizarre. Agree to disagree i guess.

I don’t think there is a backup plan. We’re done with this for the year. The whole tender/tag thing was just for a free pick. My guess is any plan that exists is more focused on 2023 and beyond. Maybe work some extensions, etc.

Oh no how will Veach replace 1.5 sacks!

-17.337% chance the Chiefs aren't bringing in at least one and possibly two more veteran guys.

No one is betting on Frank Clark.

As always, I'll give Veach the benefit of the doubt until the season starts. No need to fuss at this point before we see the final DL product.

80.4 PFF grade with us last year... yikes! Who we gonna look to instead?

Ugh. Our dline is butt.

Without Hill's picks and cap relief. The D would be Mary J Blige thighs on magnify

Dunlap? Clowney? JPP? Likely a few others via cuts throughout the offseason? And we have plenty of draft assets to trade if need be. Ingram doesn’t move the needle anymore than the aforementioned names, most of which will likely be the same cost.

Ingram isn’t that great. He just stood out last year because nobody on our defense played with any effort or intensity outside of him and Bolton.

Not a chance. Veach will bring in a veteran DE before camp. Could be via trade, or a Clowney, or even depth like Alex Okafor. But Veach doesn’t roll with this lineup for long.

TWO SACKS!!..wow how irreplaceable omg!!

we didn't like him for his pass rushing prowess, he did everything else really well

Welp...at least he didn't go back to the Chargers or go to the Raiders. Time for Kain-DOH! to show. Or blitz on every single play.

So its all about the money eh?

Good riddance, prick

Welp, that sucks.

If Kaindoh or Danna can set the edge as well as Ingram, well, it's a net zero loss, really.

More interested in seeing who we have in mind to replace him than actually having him on the team.

And that was the whole problem with the d-line!!..pressure with no sacks means absolutely nothing.

Yeah, Veach is never truly done. Ingram was brought in during the season last year.

Until/unless the guy starts shitting the bed on a consistent basis he has my trust. He’s earned it.

No more Okafor, please! Always hurt and no pressure!

I'm betting on Frank driving with guns. . . and under performing on the field. It's what he is good at.

Will miss Ingram's coin tosses.

it would be pretty big if either of those two stepped it up and become able to contribute in a positive way

Eh, training camp hasn’t even started.

I’m pretty sure Veach isn’t done on the DL, whether FA, trades or camp cut pickups.

I doubt Veach ever sits back in his recliner, puts his feet up and says “I Done”.

It's his job. Of course it's about the money...

True, and I feel the same. The unfortunate thing is the only way to significantly improve at the position now is a trade. There isn't much at all in FA other than depth...

Veach cant do what he wants until OBJ gets his shit together and signs his deal

Holy shit you’re clueless.

When has Veach ever stopped trying to make improvements to the roster?

They literally traded for Ingram during the middle of the season.

I'm not big on aging mercenaries anyway... Veach will make a move now, whatever
