    Then, I'd trade up in the draft to get Myles Garrett.

    But that's just me. hahahaha
    Terez A. PaylorVerified account ‏@TerezPaylor Follow More Berry made it clear that he wants to stay in KC but is not willing to play on the franchise tag again and will sit out if tagged.
    As of right now, the Chiefs will have one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL. If they don't release anybody, they will be about 4M over the cap when free agency starts. That is partly because Nick Foles, their backup QB has a base salary of over 10M in 2017. I assume he'll be released. They currently have 13 players with a cap hit of over 5M in 2017. The Packers, by comparison, have 9.

      But honestly, I would want both

      The problem is, imo, we could use an impact I'll, and a shutdown corner, and since we're always dropping like flies, we need vet depth

      So yeah, I'll take my flogging now


      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

            I prefer multiple mid-tier guys...and I'm talking guys signed within 2-4 days from the start of free agency, not Ted sitting around for 2 weeks to dig in the bargain bin. Money is going to be FLYING around this year, so it will be difficult to get the top tier guys because Ted simply isn't going to overpay and we know those top 15-20 UFAs will all have a 10%+ premium on them. Wait for the big spenders to blow their wad...then wade into the fray and clean up on the best of the rest.

              It's too bad we have the same desperate need for cornerbacks that we had 2 years ago. Partly because of Shields, and mostly because of our first two draft picks that summer. If there was some certainly Randall and Rollins were just pretty good players, we would have a lot more wiggle room this offseason.

                DAMN, everybody is so quick to toss Randall and Rollins out with the bath water. Do people not understand what an injury can do to a player? We ALL just witnessed this a year ago with Davante Adams. I remember some of ya'll tearing him a new asshole. Now the guy is healthy and having him and a 100% Jordy back next year looks lethal. Holy shit, give these dudes a chance. By all means bring in a FA/draft pick to address the likely loss of Shields. But damn, lets chill out a bit on 2 obvious 2nd year players that were hurt most of the season.

                  I agree. Although I have some concerns about Randall's lack of attention to proper technique at times, these guys should bounce back. They were very good as rookies when they were healthy.

                      Yes and PLEASE someone send the memo to TT soon. Maybe have him paste that memo to his shirt pocket so he can focus on getting that Shutdown CB early in Free Agency. Someone of authority has to ask TT exactly what is your plan to give the Packers the very best chance at getting to the Super Bowl next season. If he says "I am working on that" he should be replaced pronto.

                      No more excuses ... no more delays. The time is now well overdue.

                          I think Leon Hall is a free agent. Plus he hits hard so wist should be happy....

                            do we have a list of FAs yet?

                              Terry Glenn is trying to make a comeback, but he wasn't a FA.
