Report: Justin Jefferson Potentially on the Trade Block

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The last two years have proven we don’t need an alpha male WR who is going to expect and demand a certain amount of targets.

We need competency. Guys who know their role and execute at the foundational level. And yeah you need good receivers, but not these Hall of Fame types. That’s gravy.

Just keep giving Mahomes a good line, defense, and reliable running game.

That works when you have the best tight end to play the game. Kelce turned it on in the playoffs but he can't be the only focal point of our offense anymore.

We need to revamp our entire WR room and be saving Kelce until we need him and extend his career.

Does that formula work without the presence of Kelce as the alpha in the passing game?

Kelce turns 35 in October.

It can, sure.

The Patriots did it with the corpse of Gronk and Edelman.

This let Mahomes scout the WRs thing we did seemed to work pretty damn well, yeah? Let’s let that guy continue to get better and keep up with that strategy for drafting guys, and this instant gratification at WR you guys are seeking won’t even matter

There may be a time where the Chiefs need to trade the equivalent of the 10th overall pick for a receiving weapon (that's the Davante Adams trade price on the Rich Hill value chart) and then re-set the market at the WR spot.

It's hard to say this is it. The Chiefs have won back-to-back Super Bowls and in really strong shape to move forward with a balanced team and lots of flexibility against the cap.

With the cap Jefferson is going to immediately command, KC would have to sacrifice at other positions again to make it all work. And it's going to be missing the equivalent of its next 2 first round picks to boot. So it's a double whammy on filling out the roster.

[Chief Pagan]

I'm in the group that thinks KC needs to think about life after relying on Kelce.

But I don't see giving up so much for a WR. An expensive FA is one thing, but picks and money is another.

Vikes would have to really, really want Sneed in the trade to make this happen.

Rashee Rice took over games this year. He's the next guy and he's got a lot of potential.

I hope so.

Rice without Kelce plus a really, really elite D probably gets it done. I'm just not convinced an elite D is as sustainable as getting an elite offense built around Mahomes.

This team won back to back SBs (which hasn’t happened since the early 2000’s) on the backs of cheap young talent. While Jefferson would be nice, the trade compensation would be high and go against what this team has done the last two years.

They are better suited getting a solid and relatively affordable WR in FA and draft the rest. Jefferson is a guy that teams with a ton of cap space or in a desperate win now mindset trade for. KC is neither and I fully expect Veach to pass on trading for him.

This.. It’s not like we are on the edge of making the SB.. We have arrived and building something that can be sustained over multiple years… Losing draft picks and cap space isn’t in that plan..

[TribalElder]

only problem is he needs a new non rookie deal along with giving up draft capital to get him in the first place

[carcosa]

We're gonna need a LOT of posts to make this happen... But I belief!

[Red Dawg]

We have 5 picks. Even if this was real we have zero to offer.

[ForeverIowan]

As much fun as it would be to give the rest of the league the middle finger...and I freaking LOVE Justin Jefferson...

The only way you are getting Mahomes a Justin Jefferson is if you DRAFT the next Justin Jefferson on a rookie contract. Keep taking shots at 1st and 2nd round wide receivers.
