Chiefer Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, Chiefs_5627 said: Chiefs released WR Sammie Coates. Coates was signed in February but didn't make it to minicamp. He appeared in 12 games on special teams with Houston last year. Coates should eventually resurface. *Per roto We signed a UDFA tryout TE, Joe Forston. 6'4. 230. was A big WR at Valdosta State Edited May 11, 2019 by Chiefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Coates was a St guy. We just drafted several of those. I am more interested in the walk on the signed. Obviously a TE prospect with receiving skills. That's a combination worth exploring. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 One more: FB J.D. Moore released, G Zack Golditch claimed off waivers from Arizona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Golditch is a second year player with marginal talent at OG. He played two games as a rookie and was obtained off waivers. He's a bit undersized but apparently fairly athletic and played several positions in college. The team may see him as a play anywhere backup, a possible C conversion, or just a camp body.

onejayhawk Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Something new on Golditch. He was one of the lesser injured victims in the famous Colorado theater shooting. It should also be noted that his history is similar to Andrew Wylie's--small school, PS for multiple teams. Wylie was our top rookie last season. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/5/14/18623056/new-chiefs-offensive-lineman-zack-golditch-was-part-of-story-you-may-already-know Here is an article on five rookies to watch in camp. Juan Thornhill Nick Allegretti Mecole Hardman Khalen Saunders Jack Fox A couple are no-brainers--Thornhill and Hardman. Not far behind are Saunders and Allegretti. The interesting one is Fox, a punter. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/5/14/18623281/five-chiefs-rookies-who-could-push-for-starting-jobs-in-2019 J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 For more in-depth, here is an article on FA signee CB Mark Fields. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/5/14/18622566/chiefs-lottery-tickets-cornerback-mark-fields Fields was a four-year player at Clemson, yet only started six games in that time. However, his lack of playing time definitely wasn’t due to ability. Fields showcases some serious quickness, and the long speed (4.37 40-yard dash) to carry vertical routes. His quickness was evident right off the bat in the national championship game. Coming in off the bench for an injured Trayvon Mullen, Alabama went right at Fields with a bigger tight end. Stout, in his typically thorough fashion, explains that Clemson relies heavily on pattern-match zone, which Spagnuolo also uses. He also expalins that footwork and attitude issues kept him from being a starter at Clemson. Here is the conclusion Fields exhibits the football acumen, speed and experience in coverage schemes that the Chiefs want to run. He’s got supremely high upside — higher than the Chiefs’ sixth-round pick, Fenton — and can contribute in year one as a gunner and a backup nickel cornerback. However, he’s got a couple parts of his game as a cornerback that raised eyebrows for teams. On top of that, he has some warranted off-field concerns that prevented teams from wanting to make a major investment to try to unlock his high potential. This is a very low-risk, potentially high-reward move — and arguably my favorite addition of the 2019 draft class. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Jones has been a stud We got three tremendous year of Tyreek (at least, let's see about the future) for a 5th rounder We got a late 2nd and 2 solid years of Peters for a late 1st We got 1.5 very good years of Hunt for a 3rd Sure those players (except CJ) ended their KC tenures poorly. But I will take the production we got for the investments we made (aside from maybe Peters) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayanfootball Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) It didn't take long for New York Jets interim general manager Adam Gase to make his first trade. The team on Wednesday night agreed to send linebacker Darron Lee to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2020 sixth-round pick, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26757725/jets-ship-lee-chiefs-gm-shake-up Sorry, didn't see the separate string posted.

valkrei Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 We should trade for CB Patrick Peterson. He just got suspended for 6 games this is our window to make a trade at bargain pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 13 M$ next year? Plus signings of Jones, Fuller, Mahomes and may be Hill? Or give away a what - 2nd? 3rd? rounder for a 10 week hire?

onejayhawk Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Lee is a nice pickup. As a first-round pick, he has been a disappointment but as cheap (next thing to free) depth he's outstanding. For us, he's a speed-and-coverage WLB, indeed the coverage aspect is premium grade. Pencil him as the starting WLB. Though he is undersized at 230 pounds, he has made strides against the run. He should be an every down LB, coming out only in short yardage. Much as I like Patrick Peterson, I think this is the sort of pickup Super Bowls are built on.

onejayhawk Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 It's a small thing but we just signed John Phillips-TE. He isn't much of a pass receiver but he blocks well. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
