Twitter: Anthony Hitchens Released

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Better than LVE, in my opinion.

NOPE!!!!! Why is everybodies trash better than what is a ready on roster ? I liked him when he was here

But in no way is he better the LVE.

You could see the handwriting on the wall. Happy to see him have success in KC. Hitch has had a nice career. Congratulations.

Maybe he can explain to some of our players what it feels like to be a legit contender and get past the first round.

If he ever tried that our players would roll their eyes while thinking about what time to get to the club.

Slipping ? and he has always been just decent- serviceable.

That's why Stephen let him walk. " No dishing out big contract money to average players "
Was never a great blitzer, he's not a turnover guy, and has always been average vs pass.

Only i can recall at best with Hitch is he's been durable, gritty-tough guy, and he's around the action
and he's shown he can be versatile to play inside and out. But he's just not a difference maker.

i would've thought Chiefs would have chose to make him a post- June cut. But i guess they'd thought well of Hitch to let him an earlier
shot at getting on with another NFL roster as a complete FA.

Not last year. LVE had a good year. He had to heal and get confidence in that neck again.

I'm down - need LB depth and shouldn't break the bank.

Keep in mind there are very few really good NFL players in free agency that don’t cost much.

Every year Stephen Jones acts like the salary cap is such a huge burden to us. Meanwhile, the rams GM Les Snead, chiefs GM Brent Veach, TB GM Jason Licht and many other great GMs find creative ways to get some great FAs signed somehow within the salary cap limits. While SJ does a dumpster dive for FAs.

Personally, I’d rather go with younger guys looking to earn their first contract than an aging vet. Sure, experience is very valuable, but hunger and motivation more than offsets.

 

[Creeper]

Never look back. We danced with Hitchens. Move on.

 

[SlammedZero]

Solid player but I don't agree that he is better than LVE at this point.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Hitchens played in KC for 4 years. That's quite a bit longer than a year or two if my math is correct.

Nobody rued over him 4 years ago though…it started when people saw him in the SB….

I think with Hitch, you can get him on a one year deal. You then draft a replacement and give him a year to grow.

You go this year Parsons, Cox, Hitch, Rookie, Gifford

Next year you have Parsons, Cox and a guy ready to go going into his second season.

I really see a sleeper signing as Foye Oluokun. Market value is right around 3 years, $22.5 Million (Around 6-7 per) and it's a steal. Remember that Dan Quin drafted him in 2018 and knows how to utilize him. If they paid Keanu Neal $5 million last season, why not pay a little more for a massive upgrade.

 

[TwentyOne]

Gonna be 30 but I'd take a looksie.

He has a ring, so i guess he doesnt want to win something meaningful anymore.

If he is looking for a last paycheck all fingers point to Dallas.

Maybe not.. but I think I would prefer him in 15-20 backup snaps over LVE. Hitchens is a very smart player.. something we sorely lack on our defense frankly. Then there is the price. I expect he would do about the same job as LVE for half the cost. He's definitely worth a camp invite IMHO.

 

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

A camp invite yes kick the tires.

 

[john van brocklin]

Bring him back cheap?
Any gas in the tank?

 

[G2]

No.

Chiefs fans aren't too upset with him being gone. Their defense is bad so that tells you all you need to know. Hitch and Daniel Sorenson were two Chief players they are happy are gone.

That’s not saying much .

 

[Sydla]

Overrated by most here.

He wasn’t all that great in KC especially when factoring in what he got paid.

Haha, beat me to it. Faster on the smartassery button than me.
