ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs *****The Rashee Rice Thread*****

We've been having this argument for months now.

The Chiefs made a clear philosophical decision AWAY from spending big money on a WR and traded away the best WR in football for draft capital. And it WORKED.

And they'd reverse that?

I mean it's just so far beyond stupid that it barely warrants mention.

Had they not won the Super Bowl without Hill (let alone winning it twice) I could see them considering a similar idea (at a far lower cost) but that's not the world we live in.

In THIS reality there's simply no way they're going to give up substantial draft capital for a WR and give him a market-setting contract. That's no more likely to happen than the Chiefs trading Mahomes.

But like you said, they're in a way different position than we are.

After watching camp I think Rice is the man in KC. Brown and Worthy are great 2 and 3's but Mahomes clearly favors Rice from the WR group and I know the other 2 are new but still.... He just looks different. Brown looks short and Worthy still needs to add a few lbs.

Hmmm, losing Rice, two #1 picks, and having to reset the WR market for maybe the 5th best receiver in the NFL? Pass.

No WR is worth two first round picks.

Reid's scheme doesn't require a WR like Lamb to be successful...last season proved that.

Think I'll stick with 4 more years of Rice on the cheap and 2 additional 1st round choices.

Like someone else said...this is a move teams without PM make...see Miami.

Chiefs have a winning system in place....keep restocking the roster with inexpensive talent via the draft...focus on OL/DL.

Look I think CeeDee Lamb would probably be the #1 or 2 WR in the NFL if he played with Mahomes...but you don't trade 2 1's and a starter for the right to drop huge coin.

The part you miss is the Chiefs had full intention of keeping Hill at pretty large money, just not record setting money.

That's the consequence of his actions. Doesn't he mean he should stop trying to do good. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Yep, he's got a long way to go. Just keep on this path and all his dreams will come true.
