Someone tell me how to feel about this. The only thing I know about him is he's the DC of the Eagles which uhhh... after their SB performance doesn't seem like a great thing.

Not going to lie but when I think "Arizona Cardinals" I don't immediately think "stout defense".

I'm glad Juju escaped the Steelers and got a ring.

Los Angeles Chargers

Prediction: They will win the AFC West and take the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

I think there is something noble and powerful about what the Chargers did, standing behind Brandon Staley after the team’s second-half collapse against the Jaguars in the playoffs. It would have been easy to rely on the optics, but there is a reason Los Angeles fell in love with Staley in the first place. Now, with Kellen Moore as his offensive coordinator, we’ll find out why.

I would take the Chargers finishing last in the division due to having their souls broken by that second half against the Jaguars before I'd take them to win it.

Matt Patricia was not only incompetent but he was also a huge rear end in a top hat. I don't think Gannon's an rear end in a top hat, so that's a plus.

You can be one or the other (competent or nice), and that's a general life rule for me.

I do not think they will finish last

I don't either, I expect them to be pretty decisively 2nd and comfortably make the playoffs.

But I'd take a combination of 'Raiders bullshit their way into some wins/Chargers suffer long-term effects of that loss/Russ becomes competent' over 'this is the year the league figures out Patrick Mahomes'.

Do the Chiefs have any big free agents? I can't imagine they won't be back in at least the AFC title game.

Chris Jones has 1 year left and a $28m cap hit. I assume he gets extended.

Kevino07 posted:

Yep. Extended or traded if Veach has turned into some megalomanic who thinks he can do no wrong in the draft.

I think he'll be extended. He's probably the 2nd or 3rd most important player on the team and the entire defensive line is built around him.

I don't think you can let him go, he's so drat good. Pretty easy to extend him and save money on his contact next season too.

Yep.

For off-season moves. I think the Chiefs:

1) Will Extend Chris Jones, reducing his cap hit
2) Will Cut Frank Clark, and save $20 million
3) Will Tag or Extend Orlando Brown Jr - not sure there's any immediate options to upgrade LT, unless Tunsil shakes loose from the Texans so they'll stick with Brown as he has seems to at least be an above average LT (at least he was in the second half of the season) and has a rapport with Mahomes. Maybe getting a ring might convince Brown to lower his wage demands, but I suspect he's dead set at resetting the market.
4) Will let Wylie test the market in free agency off the back of his Super Bowl, I suspect upgrading RT was on the cards anyway. I suspect this will be with one of their picks
5) Will let Hardman go and enjoy the Comp Pick for 2024 thanks to a terrible WR market raising his price. Toney has already replaced him in the team.

Juju and Thornhill are coinflips for me at the moment. I suspect that the Chiefs would have them back, but aren't going to overpay for either.
I think CEH is done with this team. Pacheco is RB1, and they have so many Day 3 picks, I think they'll draft a RB with one.
MVS could be cut to save cap space is needed, but I suspect that he might stay to give the WR room some continuity if both Hardman and Juju are gone.
Mahomes can be restructured if they envision needing to lower his cap hit for 2023, but I think there's a deadline of 3 days into the league year to make the move and I think they might let it ride and give themselves more flexibility to restructure in later years, with the Chiefs in a good place cap wise and a decent number of players locked into rookie contracts. I'm not seeing anyone in free agency who the Chiefs would move heaven and earth for in free agency. D-Line players would be the most likely position, but I reckon the Chiefs aren't going to spend huge amounts of cash on players like Daron Payne, Zach Allen or Marcus Davenport. They'd rather just stock up on comp picks at this present time.

I could see them targeting a WR (I'd love Jakobi Meyers and could see a player like Parris Campbell) to have another veteran in the WR room at the right price.
