  1. I have always wondered if there is some kind of collusion amongst GMs in free agency. I would have thought a guy like Justin Simmons would have been gone in week 1 of free agency. Apparently, not. So GMs must know a certain price range and market based on age, and are willing to wait it out for certain players.
  2. Diggs was past his prime and was costing a pretty penny. So the Seahawks new HC Mike McDonald, who knows a thing or two about defense , felt easy about the decision to let him go. Quandre Diggs will be available in April too, and I wouldn't be surprised. It would be a step backwards from Blackmon and if we were somewhat serious about Sneed and willing to spend that much, I would spend a little for Blackmon too that we know, with an incentive based contract. Just my thought.
  3. Well, actions speak louder than words. All we have right now are empty words. The Colts' actions will speak louder the next 2 weeks. If they pursue other options at corner or safety that is enough of a high profile name in the $10 mil. per year type of range, like a Justin Simmons, there is a good chance the Sneed trade possibility is in the back burner. Again, follow the actions, not the words. Just my
  4. I actually agree once the situation becomes untenable and IF we have to pay that much. But till the facts come out, we have to stay patient.
  5. They won big time with the Panthers trade because the Panthers organization was even worse than the Bears under former GM (traded away CMC and others). They lost big time with the 2 trades with the Steelers (2nd rounder given up for Claypool plus this Fields trade). You look at the Panthers, Broncos and Bears, and when Ballard doesn’t give up draft picks easily, you gain a sense of appreciation on that front.
  6. Like I said, everything finalizes on St. Patrick’s Day so we can drink to whatever emotion we feel.
  7. I remember them fleecing the Bears for a 2nd rounder for freaking Chase Claypool that turned into a top of Round 2 pick, Bears got fleeced again by them
  8. It’s clear that was a second string QB type of trade, not the starter kind
  9. Well, if I’m a GM and an agent haggles so much that it makes me wonder if they are doing it because they don’t want to be here out of choice, I would re-evaluate my options. The only other supposed competitor is the Titans that don’t have a 3rd round pick. Just saying. At some point, I’m less worried about my job security or how much I could be viewed as the GM who couldn’t land him. No wonder the Lions moved on fast and landed Carlton Davis from the Bucs.
  10. Well once the Super Bowl was over and Steichen was available for an interview, things moved fast.
  11. If Sneed and his agent play hard ball, enjoy another year on the tag and possibly more injuries and concerns for your next contract. I would care less if it kept the Chiefs strong. We just move on to other fish.
  12. We can all drink to it on St. Patrick’s Day!!!
  13. Titans writers sure want to put their spin on it, saying it would crush our salary cap: https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2024/3/16/24102987/ljarius-sneed-trade-rumors-conflicting-reports-on-a-deal-between-chiefs-and-colts
  14. The Colts must be wanting to cover their bases regarding Sneed’s knee issues that happened on and off last year. Then the agent starts compromising once he realizes there are fewer teams in the fold but doesn’t want to completely make it team friendly because it’s Sneed’s first real big contract. Based on Ballard’s history, Sneed’s knee issues he managed last year, that’s the most logical conclusion that’s probably dragging contract negotiations out.
  15. Yeah, the smoke just needs to come out of the chimney
  16. It’s Dave Merritt, their secondary coach who was interviewed for a DC position by the 49ers, and when he didn’t get the job, Chiefs fans were relieved. Their DL coach and DB Coach being in sync with what Spags wants to do helps with the communication between the front 6/7 and secondary.
  17. As long as you have injury outs and incentives to make up the yearly amount (like Pro Bowl or All Pro etc.), the guaranteed money is more important than the yearly amount
  18. Now, they are. I don't know why Kenny Pickett agreed to this, if he stuck around, Russell Wilson could have played himself out. Mason Rudolph signed with the Titans. There is a good chance if a QB drops, The Steelers pick a QB. That is what I was getting at. That was a terrible draft for QBs, and the Steelers chose poorly.
  19. Why did Kenny Pickett agree to this? If he stuck around, Russell Wilson will be gone. Now Steelers in QB drafting mode again!!!
  20. Another team in the QB race in the draft, AGAIN!!!
  21. Quentin Johnston, I am told, is another body catcher.
  22. I don't think so with Ballard because he sparsely plays free agency and typically when he doesn't get a player he wants in FA, he looks for cuts other teams make or looks to the draft mostly.
  23. Drake Maye, why doesn't he get as much hype as Caleb or Jayden? Could he be the #3 QB taken and Jayden the 2nd one by the Commanders? It is too risky to get to #3 assuming Jayden will be there. I would honestly trade to #5 with the Chargers and not give up a future No.1 pick, if I were the Vikings, #11 and #23 should get you to No.5 easily. Chargers need multiple stabs in Round 1 to replenish their roster. He would then have to play on the tag, can't have the cake and eat it too if I am Sneed.
