After being dumped by the Bills, LeSean McCoy could land with one of the NFL’s most dangerous offenses. The Chiefs will “take a peek’’ at the running back, Brett Veach says (Twitter link via Adam Teicher of ESPN.com).
“We play a lot of common opponents and got to see him on tape and he’s still a talented player and does a lot of great things in the pass game,’’ Veach said. “I’m sure he’s a guy we’ll take a peek at and we kind of have a rapport with.’’
McCoy played the first four seasons of his NFL career for the Eagles and Andy Reid, so there’s familiarity on both ends. And, with rumblings about the Chiefs’ lack of complete confidence in Damien Williams, McCoy could offer valuable veteran support.
I think Shady still has value but he will likely have to sign at a discounted price the way Adrian Peterson did with the Redskins. The Chiefs definitely need a rusher who can boost their time of possession. The Patriots had a 23 minute advantage in the playoff meeting last season.
The Chiefs moved up and down the field at will against the Pats. D needed to step up.
It’s ridiculous to expect a defense to “step up” when your forcing them to be on the field 23 minutes longer than the opposition.
Shady would be a true Kareem Hunt replacement. Dangerous from all sides.
Darwin Thompson is better
