mayanfootball Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Well dang. Are we going to man the OT position with OG's ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I severely doubt we are done on the OL. But I’m probably in the minority that I would rather the interior be as solid as possible with Mahomes as the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicfre2011 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Up to $5 million would mean the deal has incentives based on playing time...IIRC the charge for the year includes total amount this year and then whatever incentives not met are rolled over to next year off of that cap, is that correct? If so, not sure why we allocated $5 million this year in cap for a guard coming out of retirement. I am getting worried that they might be looking at Thuney as a left tackle.

onejayhawk Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Howie's kid was really good once. Now, he's coming out of retirement on an incentive contract. Nuff said. He's a veteran and they can use the experience, but I don't think he will play a big role. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the full $5 million isn't against this year's cap....different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCsb Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I consider this signing waste of money and space. We have plenty of guards, what we need is a stating left tackle and back-up tackles. I could see us trading up for a quality LT in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odendin Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I mean, he played RT all of 2015. I'm confused. Wylie LG/RG Thuney LG (maybe LT) Tardiff RG Niang RT (maybe LT). I think I'd have preferred C Andrews than a guy busted for 6 years and taking a year off. And I think he'd be cheaper. I'd love if this was an f.u. to the Raiders after gutting their mostly good line.

KCsb Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Any number of LTs that the Chiefs evaluators feel can hold down the position and start their rookie year: Christian Darrisaw or Rashawn Slater to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC will have to trade up for one of the top OT's. It might cost us too much in draft capital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Mayan said. The big three are out of reach and no one else is better than what we have. The currently popular names is Eichenberg, who might work but lacks upside. Little would be perfect, except he is a medical risk, and so on. We will almost certainly draft an OT, but do not expect him to start immediately. So, we gather as much raw material as possible and see what we can make. That's one of the advantages of a player like Thuney. He can help teach an inexperienced player the ropes.
