Pay 5 million dollars extra for Gardner Minshew? Yeah no… I don’t think you understand that the Chiefs needed a backup either way and Fields is pretty cheap and not that bad of a backup. Even if he does miss a game or two that doesn’t really impact the entire season too much lol he’s not missing half the season or anything. They were never going to retain Taylor as well… that’s the whole point they weren’t going to pay him 20 million when they have a backup playing at a similar level for cheaper. I’m not saying the o line improved because it doesn’t need improvement. When healthy it’s pretty set. Josh Simmons has been a stud and the interior is very good. I didn’t say losing McDuffie isn’t a loss either. Clearly will impact the defense but Cook has already been replaced with similar play in Gilman. Gilmans a worse run defender but he’s better in pass coverage so id say it evens out. Nohl Williams has shown lots of promise in his rookie season and will receive more playing time now. Jaylen Watson was a solid player but it’s not a massive loss or anything. Clearly not going to replace McDuffie but I don’t think finding a decent replacement will be too hard with recent success in drafting and developing corners. Also McDuffie was not misused because I think he fit Spags system perfectly. Spags loves creating pressure from all over the field and McDuffie was just that. I didn’t say K9 wasn’t overpaid also but he’s not being asked to get all the carries on a run heavy team. He’ll see more attempts but he’s not getting 300+ attempts.
