The Chiefs wanted someone that could come in and be a good backup to Williams IMO. $3 million guaranteed was just the going rate. Other teams wanted McCoy as well. Chiefs weren’t worried about money, they’re trying to win a SB

McCoy is gonna get a lot of work in this offense. I’ve been fading Williams and getting Darwin in every league, but McCoy really kills the Darwin hype. McCoy is really going to muddy up this backfield. Thompson will be third in the pecking order and Williams isn’t going to be some massive workload back.

IMO McCoy and Williams will be in a 50/50 split. There touches will ebb and flow depending on script and game flow, but both will likely end up in the 10-12 touches per games range.

Edit: for week 1 I agree Williams will be the go to back, as time goes on McCoy will eat into that workload

This is my thought as well.

Damien hasn’t proven he can carry a backfield for a season. This is insurance for that.

He’ll get some touches, but honestly don’t see it hurting Damien’s share more than a few a game imo.

If anything he’ll clean up late in games when they are protecting leads.
