I'd be willing to secure the MVS role with a much better athlete for a few years. Then dumpster dive on another vet. I've seen Shenault thrown around on a few Chiefs pages and KCcrow made a compelling argument in one of his mocks. Then you take a 1-3 round guy depending on how the board falls.

Couldn’t start a new thread? None of the stuff from 2018 is remotely relevant anymore.

When we get the cheaps???

We'd have to restructure Pat, let Jones walk, franchise tag Sneed, and then maybe have enough to get Tranquil and another piece or two back of our team with Evans as our WR1. Really just depends on how much he'll drive us for, which if he's leaving Tampa, it's probably not going to be cheap and likely a three year deal.

If we do all that to sign a 31 year old wide out id actually be a little disappointed.

Doesn't seem like a Bart Leach thing to do. My guess is that he bets on himself in the draft again.

Agreed. Draft one, sign one and go from there.
