00:00 When I was looking for guys, I kind of take the same approach that you do.
00:03 One of them that came out to me that I didn't see before when I had gone through here was Kevin Pierre-Louis.
00:09 Louis, maybe? Louis.
00:12 Yeah, I think when he was with the Chiefs, we said Louis, but...
00:15 Right.
00:17 That's another thing. He was with the Chiefs before. He's the 11th ranked linebacker according to PFF.
00:21 83.4 coverage grade, 71.4 defending grade with the Washington Football Team.
00:28 You mentioned how Washington, they've got Ron Rivera there, but they're not good.
00:33 Do you think that he could fit in with this team?
00:36 I will take...
00:39 As long as the linebacker seems to be an actual upgrade on people that are here, I will
00:46 entertain any thoughts at training for him.
00:49 The players like Avery Williamson, I'm just like, okay, we have one of those. It's called Damien Wilson.
00:55 Yeah.
00:56 But Kevin Pierre-Louis actually has been a solid player for the last few years now. It's not just been this year.
01:02 It's been with the Rams for a year. It's been with the Bears, I believe, for another year too.
01:07 That he's actually played well.
01:10 So, depending on if they do want to part ways with him and
01:14 if the cost isn't too high, he's older. He's 29.
01:18 So,
01:20 the cost shouldn't be too great.
01:22 I would definitely entertain it.
01:25 Fifth rounder-ish would be definitely something where I would look at for that.
01:28 I don't think he would really fetch too much more than that.
01:32 But it would definitely be something that would interest me, at least.
01:36 I think the age is kind of one of those things that does kind of drive the price down a little bit to make it
01:41 a little bit more manageable for Kansas City. And hey, he's a good coverage linebacker.
01:46 The Chiefs need a good coverage guy. Now, we have mentioned they do have Willie Gaye,
01:49 but Willie Gaye is not playing in these nickel and dime packages.
01:52 This could be a guy that could come in and play what Ben Niemann does.
01:55 Right. And the Redskins, getting something out of him. He's a free agent after this year.
02:01 So, getting a fifth out of him would not be a bad deal for them as they try and rebuild under Ron Rivera.
02:07 I think that could definitely benefit both parties and make sense for the Chiefs and the Redskins.
