The best news here is that this whole discussion will be over in about 24 hours. Put this stupid shit to bed once and for all.

I mean, why not?

They probably should have done that with OBJ had they known his contract demands would be what they were.

That's the other issue - Burns and his reps aren't stupid. They are gonna leverage the hell out of the draft value you gave up to get him and threaten to hold out.

He'll have the 4 years he needs to have to gain UFA status. Now it could potentially be an idle threat, but he COULD sit out through week 8, return in week 9 to 'honor' the 5th year option and then refuse to sign the franchise tender the following year.

And if you've given up that kind of capital for him, you're up shits creek - you've gotta get a deal done.

And again, the alternative just isn't much prettier. Play on the 5th and the tag and you're entering FA having just used up $36 million of cap space. If you're the Chiefs you may be better off just getting the LTC done, lowering that first year cap hit to $8 millionish, probably $20 millionish in year two and $28 million in year 3 before some outs.

The fact that it's a close question either way demonstrates how little value there actually is in that 5th year option and his franchise tag season.

I think he's a 15 sack guy here in this defense with the offense we have. I won't be convinced otherwise until I see it not happen. So move along.

Yes we would. We would still also have Juju.

I realize he is not a WR, and he onbviously doesn’t have the speed to take the top off of a defense but, Kelce is always a threat to be a game changer in the receiving game. Mahomes and the new guys seem like they are starting to get into sync, as that continues to develop Kelce should be quite sufficient as the “X factor”. I’m just not concerned about where we are in that aspect of the game looking ahead to the post season.

Agreed. This is a much better way of wording it than I did.

Aren't you better served teaching the triggerman than you are taking away his bullets?

When was Mahomes ignoring open receivers because "**** it, Tyreek down there somewhere"?

Were Hardman and DeMarcus Robinson just getting open all the time and I missed it?

In the end… I think both the chiefs and tyreek ended up getting what they wanted. But it’s a shame knowing that after a short time apart and knowing they’re made whole, they’d both benefit from reuniting. Wishful thinking as there’s no reasonable way that would ever happen.

What angers me way more is how much damn WR talent was wasted on moron teams who actually believed outstanding WRs could carry bad QBs. I can’t believe how much money and trade capital other teams pumped into this. That’s ultimately what screwed the chiefs the most. Why in the hell did the panthers and redskins feel the need to pay the moon for mclaurin and dj Moore. And then the skins draft Dotson… for Carson wentz? The lions seriously traded up for Jameson Williams? The chiefs could have had a plan B if all these drooling idiots weren’t screwing up the WR market.

For a few months and then it will be we should trade for X player in the off season

Most accurate QB

Yes, apparently, you missed it.

Second half of the Bengals play-off game, backs wide open in the flat, other WR's open in intermediate areas, Mahomes holding the ball and forcing it to Hill.

That's not the only time, but it was the worst time. That whole stretch earlier in the year when we weren't playing well and got to 3-4 it was happening multiple times per game.

Depends how itchy the trigger finger is and how willing he is to hang himself.

There were multiple times where it appeared to be a light bulb moment and he did it and there was no stopping the offense. Then he would go back into Tyler Bray mode and then the 2nd half of the Bengals game happened.

I would love to still have Tyreek. Like I said, no one can convince me we are a better team without him. But we still have the most explosive offense in the game and a large part of that is the triggermans willingness to involve more weapons in the passing game.

Might want to check how many targets Hill got the 2nd half of that game. He got 4 total targets. 2 of them went for first downs. Mahomes wasn't forcing shit to him or ignoring others for him.


That 2nd half Mahomes was ignoring Hill and Kelce when they were wide open. He was all out of sorts.
