I know we need more than 2 wide receivers next year but getting an expensive superstar makes the least amount of sense. I would rather sign up DJ Reed or something

We are not getting DK Metcalf. This is ridiculous! Nothing to see here move along.

Let's look at the numbers...

I’m surprised so many don’t think a DK could happen. This seems exactly like a Veach move. Has zero to do with Rice and Worthy but replacing Kelce. More so his production.

I believe DK is a Kelce replacement

So you think it's a great idea to trade away no less than a 2nd round pick (and it's likely more like at least a 2nd and 3rd round pick) for a WR you're going to owe 18m to this year and have to extend for 30m+ per?

Don't you think Rice + Worthy + Slot WR + Mid-Round Rookie + RB who can contribute to the pass game couldn't take the load off of Kelce?

Let me give you a proposition: Re-sign Hollywood for a year, take WR Isaiah Bond from Texas at 3-66, and RB Bhayshul Tuten from Virginia Tech at 3-95. There are 3 sub-4.4 guys you just added onto the offense. You spent less money and less draft capital than you just sent away for DK Metcalf. In fat, you've saved enough money to probably add a pass rusher like Josh Sweat in FA.

Tell me which is the more complete roster in terms of overall balance and hedged against injury?

Option A: WR Metcalf, WR Rice, WR Worthy, WR Scrub, WR Scrub, WR Remigio, RB Pacheco, RB Scrub, RB Scrub, TE Kelce, TE Gray, TE Wiley

Option B: WR Rice, WR Worthy, WR Brown, WR Bond, WR Scrub, WR Remigio, RB Pacheco, RB Tuten, RB Scrub, TE Kelce, TE Gray, TE Wiley

The only reason I could entertain this as possible is I think Mahomes, Reid and Veach are all getting antsy to get back to the MVPat offense.

There’s a world where I could see Veach adding another weapon in an attempt to force that issue.

That said, I don’t think it’s likely nor makes much sense.

I'd be really happy with that if they can make it happen. Speed kills!

"MVPat offense" :thumb:

I think we are just an LT away from this again, Mahomes just needs like +1 more second on average to throw. Don't know if we need a $25M WR to make this happen, but Veach knows best

Yeah I think we all agree that competent LT play and an upgrade at RB are the best ways to get back to that.

Now if Veach is able to fix LT and RB while also finding a way to add DK Metcalf then I’m not going to say no to that either.

I’d actually rather see Veach focus on OL and let WR go Rice/Worthy/Kelce and then cheap others. I personally can see Mahomes feeding Kelce much more targets than usual because this is probably his last season.

BUT I was more saying a DK trade screams Veach and how he likes to make bold splashy moves. If LT wasn’t an issue I could see him already trading for DK.

Would it really surprise anyone if Veach, Signs Stanley AND trades for DK? I mean would it really?

Not in the least, especially after what we just saw in the Super Bowl and the level of disrespect this entire league and it's media have reigned down on one of the greatest dynasties the NFL has ever seen. I think this franchise is pissed.

I hope he goes all in like he never has before and we just fist the rest of the league. I really feel like it just might happen.

I like what you are suggesting....but one question:

What if the price for Metcalf was a 3rd or 4th this year? I have seen some reports saying that the best Seattle could hope for was a 3rd or 4th.

There is still the issue of finding cap space....

That is a horrible idea. :shake:

I was thinking the same thing.

1 legitimate superstar far outweighs 3 unknown could be goods.

DK Metcalf is not coming. You guys need to get over this nonsense.

I will do you one better: Luther Burden falls to 31, we draft him, then trade up to nab Judkins in rd 2 and use the rest of the draft on defense.

DJ might not, but DK is!

That'd be fine, there'd be people all mad though.

Metcalf is a pipe dream and a move like that probably closes the Chiefs window more than it opens it because its going to cost you draft capital which is you best way to manage the cap and its going to cost you some of your home grown talent because you are going to pay Metcalf instead of a guy like Karlaftis, and suddenly you look an awful lot like the Bengals...

Paying WRs 30M a year is no longer in vogue. Look at the 49ers. Teams are trying to trade away these contracts. Look at the Bengals, I don't know what the hell they are doing with Chase and Higgins, but its stupid. There are WRs that come out every year in the draft and contribute, or quickly become emerging stars. Hell unlike LT, college developes WRs all the time. Why over pay when you don't have to

typo.

but DK is not coming either.

3 firsts and 35 million per please

I've concluded that this place is ****ing reeruned. NO, Veach would not make that trade. NO, one "star" when you already have two is NOT a good idea.

Oddly enough.....I could give a rats a$$ if it truly occurs.. or not. I was just asking a general question that I also heard posed on a national program.

Would a team be tempted to pull the trigger if the price was a 3rd or 4th instead of the supposed 2nd or first that everyone is saying would be the asking price.

It wouldn't be the first time the supposed asking price and the eventual trade were way off.

So in a few years you just let Rice and/or Worthy walk?

If we've signed a starting LT why would that be a horrible idea?

Never said that. And to be honest, I don't know if either are on pace for that kind of contract. The point I was making is that I think the NFL is in the process of ending the crazy WR salaries that we have seen. Maybe that not true for guys like Jefferson and Chase. They will still get paid, but its not going to be what it is today. Currious to see what a kid like Jordan Addison gets in a few years.

Because half of the people here are fairly ignorant about not only the salary cap, but other teams and just want any and all needs to be met with a name. Just a name they've heard of.

And that's not how it works, in reality.

Drafting extremely well is the only way the Chiefs will remain in contention each and every season while Mahomes is here.

Yeah **** all that.

Absolutely ****ing not.

ROFL

people are ****ing stupid, we get rumored to everyone everytime someone is available

try harder media people

Diggs? Here? After all those playoff losses he suffered through because of the Chiefs? It would be ****ing hilarious but I don't see it happening.

Hard pass

That kinda shit happens a lot at the end of guys careers, "oh well I'll join em"

I wouldnt mind Diggs, always liked him but 31 coming off an ACL anywhere near 15 million, NO WAY!

^^^ This guy gets it.

Ugh... Do not want Diggs (Unless he STFU, comes in cheap and outplays his contract lol)

Also, guys, no one's seriously expecting DK Metcalf. It’s just a fun media rumor.

I think part of the fun of the offseason is all the speculation....dreaming....and what.if...that makes it fun for many.

Did this idea just become more interesting with the Worthy news today?



And is it my imagination or do FA WRs just behave better than drafted WRs? Feel like there should be a study on that

Agreed!

Price has lowered. Let Hardman, Watson, Moore and Juju walk. Pay Metcalf!!!!

If the Worthy situation dragged out they may have actually done it

Let me know when the price drops to a 2nd and 2026 4th.

He's still looking for 30 mil/per, right?

Yes

Chiefs out. He wants warm weather.

I wish him good luck in his search.

Unfortunately Chargers make a ton of sense.

I still want Najee

You want yet another slow running back with bad vision?

I'm gonna wait to hear what Nate Taylor has to say before I weigh in...

Same. I’ll just believe the opposite.

The Inverse Nate Taylor Index has a prime Barry Bonds on base percentage.

He will love Greg Roman

When was the last time someone who was from the local KC sports reporting scene had a take that was anywhere close to being right?

A SECOND rounder AND 30 MILLION/Year...

No freaking way! How does he figure hes worth 30? He is not Chase or even Lamb.

I wouldnt even pay Justin Jefferson that kind of money.


Although the thought of Mahomes throwing to any of those guys is so good!

Never wonder why you can't start a new thread.

1,000 yards every season with a mediocre line?

Yeah, he sucks.

He wants to go to LA and be a Charger.

Seriously don’t want to see him in LAC. We squeaked by them last season and all they had was an undersized rookie scat back for an offensive weapon.

someone sell me on metcalf seem too much for us to get him

Hmmmm how about an early to late 3rd and $15-$18m per year (incentive laden)?

Need Paylor. That guy was always right. You could trust him.

DK gone

Really wish he had stayed in the NFC.

For a 2025 2nd and a 30 AAV contract. Yeah, no.

Steelers really need to win the Sam Darnold sweepstakes now.

how many posts now

LOL

5 years $150m… damn.
