Chiefs have signed former Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, per @AdamSchefter.

More wideout reinforcements on the way ������

Mike McCarthy is 300 plus pounds and like 60 years old. I am guessing he doesn't do a lot these days. I know I harp the weight often but having lost a lot of weight myself I can attest that the energy difference is startling.

NO way would I have matched that MVS contract. I bet he feasts in KC with all of the speedsters though. I wish him well. He is the dollar store version of Cheetah, but at least he is a much better person AFAWK.

Yep - the MVS contract is one I wouldn't have matched. They'll probably get a R5 as a comp pick for him -- the same round he was drafted. Wish him well, glad he got paid. Seems like a good dude.
As for M3, for all his research or whatever when he was away from coaching, he sure seems to do a lot of the same stuff he did before... and his in-game management and adjustments, never a strong suit, haven't improved. He can keep a locker room together, and he's no dummy, but I kind of feel like he's an average coach at best, which isn't nothing.
I don't ding those guys on the weight gain; my understanding is it's a stressful job with long hours and not many opportunities to actually exercise, plus even if you found a spare hour you're too tired or more interested in seeing your family.

I could cry real tears right now. I got cut from my high school team as a freshman to signing a second contract in the NFL. Never let any person place a limitation on who you can be. THANK YOU GOD!!!

Broncos sign Billy Turner. 1 year, 5 million.

So we have lost MVS, Adams, Turner, Patrick and Zadarius. Should have kept everyone. The cap is not real.

Gute must not know how to cook.

Go to the Packers website and look at our roster. You will have a big lump in your throat. 30 players that I think are contributors. The rest you are looking to replace. We need a lot more talent. Luckily we have the draft with a lot of top picks. We are going to need to build the needed depth to survive the injuries that are going to happen.

Agreed. I would like to see them use some of the capital to trade down and acquire more resources. I always loved early TT taking _a lot_ of shots and building stellar depth. So far that hasn't been Gooter but I'd like to see it this year. Replenish the depth a bit.

Feels like they have a "stars and scrubs" roster, which is great until injuries hit. If you can keep your top 22 healthy, you might get by with 30 contributors.

I do think the cap constraints they are navigating may force them to turn those draft picks into cheap roster talent/depth. Remains to be seen whether Gute and Co. do that or use those 11 picks to trade up.

In 4 drafts, Gute has only made 2 4th round picks. One good (Newman), one bad (J'mon Moore). He has traded away 6 4th round picks to move up in the draft. Couple that with poor success drafting in the 3rd round, and Packers don't have much talent from the middle rounds.

Clearly, Tex should be running every NFL team.
