will be interesting to see how good mahomes is now that the bill has come due and major parts of the team are cut loose to make room for his massive contract.

both tackles and sammy watkins so far,

Could every Chiefs game be like the Super Bowl now?

I was gonna say, it's like they looked at that game and said, "You what Mahomes needs? More speed at WR. Cut these fatties."

 

[Deus Irae]

THEY DIDN'T MAKE A SINGLE BLOCK IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!!

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So their current ol is the one from the sb? And they’re still over the cap? Sounds good to me if so!

 

[Nehalem]

Probably decided it wasn't worth wasting money when they can't compete with the Bucs anyway.

Save the cap space for after Brady retires, hopefully before Mahomes .

A+ post!

 

[Ring 6]

I guess they thought it worked out so well in the SB they would make it permanent

I wouldn’t rule it out, if that’s going to be his OL lol

2021 for Mahomes:

Of that starting 5, three are unrestricted free agents and another is restricted. They probably expect the two opt outs, former starter Duvernay-Tardif and 2020 third round pick Niang, to start at LG and RT respectively. Wylie should be back at RG probably on a second round RFA tender. The big holes are LT with Fisher released and C with Reiter headed to free agency.

Well, the Chiefs proved they didn't need either guy in the Super Bowl.... Ummmmm..... Ahhhhhh.......

WTF! Crazy. Some quality tackles out there in free agency even if a bit older.

Yeah, also supposed to be a good year for tackles in the draft as well.

 

[NYCPATS4LIFE]

With those moves chiefs are still 4 million over the cap. I expect LT to be a priority in the draft now.

ChiefsPlanet seems to be somewhat understanding of the move.

Fischer end of Jan achilles the other just had back surgery..

Somewhat expected but devastating blow to the roster that is down on cap & draft capital. Rough ride for Mahomes ahead..

Cruel creul business for both who all they did was ball for the organization..

Look for Mathieu to get an extension that frees up a bunch of space. Hill could be extended, too.
