I’m not sure how truthful he is being about being willing to accept that contract. I think it was the right move to let Mathieu leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I’ll admit, didn’t think he was that old, guess that means I’m getting old. No worries, I was just attempting humor on a Friday 😉. Agreed on getting old!

I think it was the right move to let Mathieu leave. I just think he just overshot his value. He gave his agent a figure that was out of line with anything Veach wanted to offer. We went with the guy willing to be reasonable. And now Mathieu is realizing no one wants to pay him what he wanted. Dont get me wrong, huge fan of Mathieu but his attitude got old last year and he may not admit it, but he for sure made some contract decisions on tackles last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs_5627 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Seems we were trying for Campbell: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMAW_KSU Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Schefter is a hack, but that’s besides the point. Bringing in a Houston/Ingram makes a lot of sense regardless of how we draft because those guys are pros, the type of guy you want your young guys to learn from. Campbell would certainly have got that mold as well, and again done nothing but created more flexibility in the draft. i do think Mathieu is hurt, and regardless of where the offer came in, the fact that we didn’t offer I think is where his real hurt stems from. I know others have said we didn’t want to disrespect with a low offer etc, who knows, but I could certainly see a guy who has felt slighted by other teams feel that way by not even being offered.

onejayhawk Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Houston and Ingram are exactly the sort of short term veterans needed to help draft picks learn the ropes. Sign one or both but understand it's termporary. Mathieu played this to the max, but he was aware that the Chiefs could not pay him like they would a young player. So, here comes a much younger player, who takes a deal for a lot less money, and TM is beating his chest and saying he would have taken the pay cut. Sorry, but it's crocodile tears.

Yeah its pretty rough we didnt make an offer supposedly. But i think Veach/Reid are not a fan of his talking to the fans on twitter, or his own admission of losing a step because of contract concerns. Now teams see recent tape of an undersized, slowing down safety on tape who makes business decisions. People dont pay big bucks for that.

EMAW_KSU Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 So, we have been rumored to be interested in Shenault, among others. Last year, he obviously has a ton of injury concerns, but I wonder if we’d be interested in Curtis Samuel? Or if the Commanders would be consider trading him.

mayanfootball Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Jameson Williams is not worth our #29, #30. We could get 2 stud starters for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer a more sure thing. 2 first rd. picks with the chance of hitting on both. Burks/WR and Winfrey/DT is a more sure thing IMO than Williams who may not be able to contribute until year 2.

onejayhawk Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 I think there is just as a good chance of trading back to a team that wants a QB. A 1st round pick gets a 5 year contract vs 4 years for 2nd round. That's worth something and Detroit is sitting at #32. It's a real question as to where the 3rd QB gets taken but #29 or #30 seem reasonable. By the chart, #29 + #30 will get #8. More realistic is that #29 and #50 will get #16 with change back. The Chargers are at #17. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedGold Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I’d for sure take Jameson if he drops. Wouldn’t even care if he didn’t contribute till late in the year, or even next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
