Where are the Chiefs getting money to make a signing like this?

[Bolt Dude]

How the hell can the Chiefs afford to do this but we can't? If they grab Linsley too I'm gonna vomit.

[21&500]

Way over paid.

[Boltgang74]

Reid shits on TT.Keepin it real.

maybe they gave a deal to one of their players like the saints did with Taysom Hill to circumvent the salary cap somehow.

It's a lot of money, but with one unproven TE on the roster we need to do something.

Panic buying is not the answer. The Pats gave Smith more money guaranteed than Kittle got, that is insane. I think the game plan should be to let all the big deals get out of the way, then let people come on 1 year prove-it deals, especially with the low cap this year.

Holy cow. Stimulus money is everywhere.

The example you cite is 33 years old and he is looking to get a 3 - 4 year deal at the 60 to 80 range.. He misses half his games next year and Telasco is a fool on here and the hounds call for his head.. The guy cannot win, meanwhile Reid shits gold?

Chargers need multiple OL
they need a CB
they need an Edge Rusher
they need a TE

This is bringing back Mike Williams, Linval Joseph and Chris Harris Jr.

So yes, they have cap space but I think for them - it needs to be a fine line of Quantity and Quality. Sure Thuney is a good player. But for his AAV they probably can get Matt Feiler and pick a good OG that fits the system. Or maybe Austin Reiter for OC.

Mahomes probably restructured his contract specifically for this move. He's basically a part owner of the franchise. If he wanted Thuney he has the power to make it happen.

I read somewhere that mahomes, kelce, and one more player’s contract getting restructured.

TT came to the Chargers in 2013. 2nd round draft picks should be major contributors to your team to be successful. Looking three years back.....here are TT 2nd round picks

2017 Forrest Lamp
2016 Hunter Henry
2015 Perryman
2014 Attachaou
2013 Manti Te'o

That is three LBs (one that contributed to any large degree), a bust of an OL and a good TE. This is a horrible percentage on 2nd round picks and is where we should be taking our CBs and OL/DL to build for the future. There are reasons why big holes are opening on our team. TT needs to figure this out fast. On TT side, I think he has been dealing with some bad coaches to help identify talent. I know he is also responsible for this, but the combination of scouting and coaching has not served us well.
