Signings, Cuts, Trades

Those Payless shoes and knock off brands have won us 2 superbowls in 25 years and have kept us in the playoff hunt for nearly every single one of those years. I'll rock my cheap ass shoes knowing they'll take me where I want to go.


I'm grateful for our 2 rings, but moves like this are the difference of us going one and out of the playoffs year and year out or going all the way. We're just going to keep falling short, while wondering why

And how do you know that's true? We could easily acquire someone who plays quality minutes for us via trade or if they get cut between now and the season and signing Golladay would have depleted any financial flexibility to do so. The dude isn't worth $15/yr, let alone the $18 he got. I'm going to ride out the offseason and not overreact to one guy getting overpaid and another not wanting tk play in our scheme.

Would Golladay have been worth the 18 million per year?
Yes. As of today we have 1 wr on our roster we know we can rely on. The rest is bonus,Keith Williams might be a savant when it comes to teaching the nuances of route running. But we can't assume he "fixes" Boykin and Proche and Duvernay might not develop at all.

Not at all in my opinion. If I’m paying that much for a WR, it has to be Nuk, Julio, Tyreek, etc

Look at Golladay's stats and you'll quickly realize why I wanted him.
Trading for a #1 WR not only costs cap like signing one but you also have to give up assets.

Can we get the blueprint from the Chiefs on how tf we can turn off salary cap mode?

I wasn't specifically talking about Galloway, never once mentioned his name actually. I just talking about how we are in FA in general. I know this is true cause this team lacks the leadership and playmakers that it takes to go far are all the way, past few playoff appearances have shown that.

If you pay top dollar though for just a good player you are going to be left disappointed when he is eating up way too much of the cap and not performing up to that level. He is a good player but he is absolutely not top 5 and probably not top 10 but is being paid to be that.

I'm a big Golladay fan and I wouldn't have paid that much. That's insane honestly. Feel like Gettleman just bid against himself, kind of like we did with Earl unfortunately.

I probably would have bitten at $14M/year.

I could be wrong but I just feel like we could pick up Watkins and Melvin Ingram for cheap and we'd be well positioned for the draft.

So, bum ass Danny Dimes now has Golladay, Saquon, Shepard, Slayton, Engram and Rudolph lmao. The god damn GIANTS can build around their awful QB better than us. Yikes!

If you all look at it the multiple year contracts we've given to Wolfe, Bowser and Zeigler are backloaded but not heavily tilted but to sign Golliday it would've been and we got Lamar and Andrews to sign. We would start entering cap hell again.

How the hell are the Chiefs making it happen? I suppose they’re sacrificing the future, but they’re in win-now mode like we should be. Its obviously payed off extremely well for them. I understand where you’re coming from though
