Hill Trade?

[Wamu]

That he was.

Concerned sure. They were 15th in defense EPA though. They needed more than QB- and KC still has Mahomes and suddenly a lot of draft capital and cash.

All I'm saying is with Wilson the Broncos are no longer a sub-.500 team. I think he's the difference for them making the playoffs.

Mahomes though. Man is he exciting to watch.

And imo i put Herbert in the 2nd place spot...

lol ok i'll re-word it. I'm more worried about the Chargers than i am the Donks. but hey, they COULD be a surprise...

You know what would really be a surprise? If the Cheesecake Factory names Mayfield their official spokesman.

Gonna be a weird AFC- but on paper there should definitely be 3 AFCW teams in the playoffs.

now that he's been evicted from Brown's Stadium where do you think he lands...?

I'd unironically take Melvin Ingram + Scantling + These picks over Tyreek Hill. I don't think it's close either with the contract Hill got. People meme about boat anchor contracts, but Hill's contract demands are just not tenable. 15ish percent of the cap is Megatron territory.

Surprisingly shitty. Not surprising this was not a winning bid.

 

[shopson67]

meh, draft is pretty deep in receivers this go-round. I wanna see the whole body of work...

Sure, and the better rounded guys will go earlier. Injured guys sliding could be a good investment (Williams, Metchie) for a patient team.

You're weirdly optimistic about this.

My worry with the picks is that Veach will use them to trade up. I think if they stay put and take chances on a bunch of players then this will work out in the long run for the Chiefs.

It's less optimism and more "I am not cratering the longterm window so I can keep Tyreek Hill"

It sucks, but the alternative is worse.

How do you feel about trading away Hill?

Seeing he got 30M AAV, had to do it. Don't have to like it, but I don't think keeping him around was a legit choice longterm unless Mahomes throws a fit over it.

Would be irresponsible to handicap the team to the point you couldn't sign say a Melvin Ingram and make your roster ridiculously rigid going forward.

Quickness is unmatched and not found often with his speed.
That ain't on every street corner.

Good Luck KC

Ultimately, any talent at WR will be an upgrade over what they have. JuJu is the only solid guy, and he's more of a big slot.

It's a case of ripping the Band-Aid off, quite honestly. as you say Hill's money woulda been way too cost prohibitive. and for us we truly need to beef up on the defensive side of the ball...

hate seeing him go, but it was for the greater good...

Like, I love JuJu in this offense, but asking him to be WR1 is a huge ask even for me.

That's a damn good question. Wonder if some GM's look at him as damaged goods?

Gotta remember this is the same fella that complained the home fans were too loud when the Browns had the ball last season. WTF is that!? He wasn't spewing any of that bullshit during the '20 season when the Browns went to the playoffs. But last year all of the sudden the fans are too loud?

It's like he thinks his bad play isn't his fault.

I hope he ends up in the CFL. But the Browns just can't release him. He can still play. And I don't wanna see him in Pittsburgh.

Love what the Fins are doing in the offseason......make it or break for Tua now.

Accelerate that learning curve so that they can get back in the QB pool next season if needed.

The timing on this kinda stinks, though. Signing Ward and letting go of Hill would've made me feel bit better.
