About time. Hopefully we can stop hearing about it in a couple weeks now.

Christ. If Hill has a couple of monster years with Mahomes this is our future.

The hell you say. I’d hope they let him walk if he can get that. You overpay QBs not WR. Hill under Smith vs Mahomes should be all the proof you need of the concept.

Let's just extend him now so we don't get into that discussion.

That's a lot of money for a guy with an unstable personality. That will eventually bite them.

Tyreek Hill made Alex Smith the most accurate deep ball passer in the NFL during the 2017 season.

ALEX SMITH.

He's the only guy on this offense KC needs to keep no matter what. Anyone who can do that with Smith is going to break the NFL with a guy like Mahomes tossing the ball over the top of 2 deep man coverage.

FFS, Watkins is a good deep threat and he looks absolutely mediocre in that regard compared to how Hill runs right past everyone.

God, it's so like Chiefsplanet to spend over a decade complaining that KC never has a legit #1 WR, and when they get a transcendent talent at the position they're like "Eh, just let him walk!"

That's insane. Skill players are not the deciding factor in winning and losing. QB, OL and DL are. They lose with him playing and lost without him playing. Dak won more without Dez than with him. Ryan scored more points when Julio was injured.

I’d stand by my statement. Hill is ridiculous. Nobody acknowledges that more than I do. My position is well documented that not only is he operating on another plane of existence with speed but his hands and football IQ is so damn good it’s tremendous.

But I still don’t think you can pay a WR that kind of money. They just don’t impact enough plays and they’re too easy to neutralize. Hill may legitimately not be. But that begs the other question. When does his speed stop being transcendent? It’s almost assuredly going to be in the next 7 years (2 left on this contract and 5 extension - off the top of my head). Then we are left overpaying poor production.

I think you give stupid money to QBs. I don’t think you can give QB money to a WR.

And win anyway.

I have said before I would probably tag Hill for a year and then let him walk. He will be going for the moon contract-wise and I am not a fan of paying him eventually around $20M per season. By then, Mahomes will have a few years under his belt and probably could be great without needing Hill. You just have to see too if you have young players who could pick up the slack.

The Patriots are a great example of a franchise who won't really hand out those big contracts but they have been the most successful franchise in the league, granted they have Brady and Belichick.

FFS some of you guys don’t want to pay anyone bc of what has happened to Berry and Houston LMAO

Packers paid Rodgers big money and just banked in on Davante Adams. They also have money for Jimmy Graham and maybe even Khalil Mack.
Same thing with the Steelers. Big Ben and AB are making massive money.

Our cap won’t be ruined by paying those 2 elite money. If Mahomes was making $30 million this year and Reek was making $20 million, it would still only be 28% of the $177 million cap.

I have no problem paying Hill what we have Sammy. Hill is better now and will be next year. That OBJ is crazy. 65 guranteed. No effing way any wr is worth that.

Maybe now he can afford to court that nice Lena girl.
