He was then suspended for the first four games of 2020, and not retained by Kansas City. He eventually joined the Bills and appeared in two games for them. Can he turn it around in Vegas?

Chiefs_5627 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 He looked the part coming out and I had some hope that the change of scenery would have served him well but he's just a ghost. You forget he's even on your team. I wish the guy well but ultimately I don't think football is for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Maybe he shed the weight. If I remember right he was actually a decent coverage LB in New York. He bulked up in KC, wasn’t as good in coverage and it didn’t really help him against the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchFalcon Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I remember when people (media/fans) got upset about the Falcons drafting Neal over Lee and grabbing Jones in the second. I think he's the guy that would have been a star in the 90's or early 2000's but the game has just moved on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Raiders depth on defense has been trash, I dont see him being that bad as a back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I remember when we signed him a few years back. I was hopeful that he could just be a one trick pony for us. A rangy coverage LB who was generally trash in the trenches, to rotate with Reggie Ragland, who was a slow downhill thumper who couldn't cover. Instead, Lee evolved into a LB that just sucked at everything, and his permanent removal from the LB rotation was one of the couple of changes that coincided with the 2019 defense getting it's stuff together and playing great football to close out the season. Don't expect anything from him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 May be a viable STer. That's all we should expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugboat Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I still can't believe he went in the first round. He was one of those picks where...i found it hard to even rationalize or understand exactly what it was that they liked so much about him. There are always players who go higher than they should, but it's usually easy enough to at least envision why a team might've fallen in love and "overdrafted" them. He was one of those total headscratchers for me. But whatever it is...teams still seem to continue to find it enticing, i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
