I would love to see that happen, just to see how that anomaly turns out.

The Chiefs thinking about moving Peters? That is surprising because he is very good. I recall he had character flags before the draft. Has that become a problem for the Chiefs? If that is it then pass. If that isn't it then I hope the Rams are interested.

It's easy to become attached to players on your favorite team. I keep wondering if that is part of the fan push to sign Lamarcus Joyner. Is he really that much better than a guy like Eric Reid? I just don't see putting too much cap space into a strong safety. With the Rams troubles against the run I think I prefer Reid, especially if he is cheaper.

Franchising Sammy is not a great idea either. I get that it gives them another year to see what he can do but the cost will be high and if he has a very good year in 2018, then signing him in 2020, will be even more costly. Snead gave up a Second round pick for him. That investment alone makes it likely that they try to keep him. Sign him now, cut him later if need be.

So, save money on Joyner and invest it in Watkins. Wade Phillips had a pretty good thing with TJ Ward. Maybe that is another option to save money.


I love Joyner btw. His," I'd do this shit for free" talk with Fisher is pretty endearing. Maybe he really will value comfort of surroundings and original team to breaking the bank.

Exactly!
I don't have any love for the Skins, so if it works out tragically bad for them, its no skin off my back
No pun intended....
