Paying Jefferson at his age is different than a 3rd contract for Tyreek.

According to A.J. Brown, the Chiefs tried to trade for him in the same offseason.

Not that this will happen though.

I put it at a 0.0001% chance of happening but Jefferson, Rice and Kelce would be hilarious for the rest of the NFL.

After watching them win back to back rings with a Belichick strategy of focusing heavily on the OL & Defense, I would be shocked to see them pay top dollar at the receiver position. I really just want to see them finding more guys like Rashee Rice in the Draft instead of paying top dollar for veteran players.

What does everyone think they do at QB? Seems like Cousins might be gone. What they do next seems pretty relevant to whether they want to keep Jefferson.

And yet when I suggested trading up for Marvin Harrison Jr you said it was too expensive and I was foolish and here you are giving up the farm for a guy.

Funny how people like to sell their souls when it's "their" guy.

1. You are a fool.
2. That’s not the farm.
3. Trading up from 32 to the top 3 would take more than I just put in my post.

The draft a rookie WR and sign Derrick Henry thread. Should be less re-hashed

LOL. Marvin Harrison Jr trade comp is well above JJ. How would anyone seriously think otherwise?

MHJr ability level over the next 5yrs is assumed to be comparable to JJ. And having him on a rookie contract versus 28-30mm AAV? It's a dream sequence.

I'm of the opinion that maximizing Patrick Mahomes is the best path forward.

Even the best defenses fail. You need points on the board to win football games.

It's gonna come down to us asking 15 to deliver the goods, no matter how elite the defense is.

Why make it harder for him to do his thing?

You keep a line in front to keep him upright, and keep his arsenal stocked with weapons.

Rashee Rice and Justin Jefferson certainly make the inevitable retirement of Travis Kelce a lot less terrifying, while setting Patrick Mahomes up to have success for the foreseeable future, and not asking him to make chicken salad out of chicken shit on a weekly basis.

The Chiefs couldn't score 3 touchdowns reliably last season. It was as unbelievable as it was tough to watch. 3 touchdowns used to be a slow first half. To see that become the top of the mountain for expectations with 15 under center, that's just not what you want to see.

This team goes as 15 goes. You build around and support 15, the guy is gonna deliver.

Keep relying on Jags and even if 15 does everything perfect, the scrubs can still screw it all up.

How aren't you a GM yet?

You need to submit your resume

For the same reason you aren’t a pimp. I enjoy the product too much.

I can’t believe you just assumed trading for JJ is the same as trading up to 3 in this draft and are calling someone out because of your original take.

Even the best offenses fail, too. Ours did. The Patriots undefeated one did. They all can.

You need a complete team. That's how you maximize Mahomes.

I didn't assume that but nice try from the peanut gallery.

It's just ironic that trading away our first round pick, an ALL-PRO and best coverman in the NFL in Sneed and another high pick and another receiver is such a great trade.

Maybe you and the Franchise can apply together to the Chiefs as the Abbott and Costello GM Dream Team.

Two ****ing know-it-alls on every subject.

Is this the twilight zone?

Nobody's saying it's a 'great trade', or even that it's a possible trade. It's not happening. NOT HAPPENING.

But trading for the #3 pick and 5 years of cost controlled rookie star WR isn't the same thing as trading a ton of draft capital AND having to pay $30m per on top of it. And THAT would be monumentally stupid and almost certainly COST KC Super Bowls, not win them because of what it would do to the rest of the 53.

There's no free lunch.

Mahomes plus best 52 is working out well so far. I say we stay with that.

Doesn't mean we don't need to get better at WR. It just means we don't have to go crazy, just get BETTER. Keep the guys we need to keep, and draft and develop.
