Yep.

This is one of those moments. There's no remaining neutral on a trade like this.

He either does well in the draft and all is (relatively) forgiven or he dies on this hill (no pun intended).

That's silly. The Chiefs were rewarded for being loyal.

Not only did they keep him on a cheap contract, they also got a SB out of him.

We can't miss here as we don't have a #1 WR on the team right now.

Short term sucks, long term could be great with Pat.

We were going to have to retool soon anyway. Deep WR draft, 4 picks in the first 64?

Cap space too, you can extend Brown now.

Makes a lot of sense. Reek was not the one guy taking us back to the top!

Interesting thought.

The only thing I might do is use a later pick to move up from 29 for a DE if one is there like Johnson or Karlaftis. Otherwise just stay put and add young, cost controlled talent to this team.

Yes, the Vikings have clearly eclipsed the Bills in team fortunes!!

Seems like I can't go a day without hearing a Vikings fans making fun of the poor pitiful Bills.

A "down year", a "step back year"... whatever bullshit spin you want to call it is not acceptable when it involves potentially wasting a year when Mahomes is in the prime of his career.

Except his contract wasn't cheap.

Hill's cap hit would have been $21M this year - highest in the league for a WR and $3M more than the #2.

Not saying anything about loyalty but the idea that his deal was heavily slanted towards the team is false.

I think we got a better deal doing business w/ dolphins then.

He deserves every penny it was like Jamaal Charles playing WR

35, 38 and their 3rd for Hill and 103

Yeah? Which rookie WR's are we talking about?

The Chiefs have yet to put any real draft investment at the position. We have no sample size here.

I would have been okay with either deal.

Defenses in the AFC west especially now are much less stressed for sure. Now that Andy doesn't have his human joystick toy any longer it will be interesting how conducts play calling not having defenses to specifically compensate for TH every time he was on the field.

I think this will work against us in the long run. Sad to say. But I get it, it is a business.:hmmm:

Wonder who the best WR is to do that....maybe the fastest\quickest guy in the NFL. I blame Veach and nagy for this shit.

Chris Olave new WR for Chiefs

Hit on a wide receiver in this draft and you can literally replace Tyreek and have the 4 extra draft picks plus all that cap space. Again, Im sure Vikings fans were prerty damn pissed about the Diggs trade until you turn that into Justin Jefferson on rookie contract $.

I would imagine you could get Tyler Lockett from the Seahawks for a bag of chips if you are willing to take on the salary.

Its in the best interest of the Chiefs to use all those top 103 picks this year on restocking the roster with cheap rookie contracts.

I’d have been underwhelmed by either but I guess I prefer Miami’s

I remember this time last year when everyone was picking the Bengals to go the SB....

LMAO there is soooooo much roster building left, sooooo much football to be played.

Ya'll need to step away from the bridge. It's gonna be ok, dudes! Relax. Lol.

LMAO that makes Veach look even worse. Absolutely no need to accept the offers and rush a deal today and let Hill choose which shit sandwich you're served. Let them get desperate and up their offer between now and the draft. If they back off, oh noes, you get one more year of Hill and open the trade talks after the Bowl next year with a tag & trade when you have the maximum number of potential trade partners possible.

I've changed my mind and wouldn't be opposed to seeing us pick up a RB at some point.

And misses him because Tua sucks ass.

Like you said….Veach just needs to let that draft board come to him.

And use that newly gained cap space to get guys like Barnett and Kyzir in here to build up that defense.

Diggs helped elevate Josh Allen and the Bills offense to elite status, while the Vikings are stuck in mediocrity. Similar to Houston losing the DeAndre Hopkins trade... you don't trade elite WR's when they are still in the prime of their careers.

Also the last time a rookie WR in Philly or KC has immediately stepped in, started almost every game and became a Jefferson-like star in Andy Reid's offense? That would be never.

Wow, just finished my taxes and see THIS?!?

I understand the move though, these are the types of moves you have to make when you're paying a true franchise QB. Hate to see Tyreek go, but it's likely for the best and I'm excited to see what possible moves we make in the remainder of FA and in the draft.

Pierre Strong Jr

That doesn't happen much, period - especially from where we're picking.

Later Tyreek, good luck catching junk balls.

I'm a Chiefs fan for the past 52 years, not a Hill fan. Over the years they all come and go, next man up.

What if Hill threatened to sit out?

One thought I had: Supposedly Andy's offensive scheme requires more than a year to learn and right now Hardman is the only holdover from last year. How is that going to affect our passing game?

But will Andy Reid use it, or does that just become a waste?

I am still not gonna count you guys out as long as PM is the QB

Pretty much.

here is to drafting some good Wideouts with the picks/

Super disappointed in this trade but if we wind up with three legit WRs and save cap that's not as bad as it sounds. Its better than having tyreek take up all the attention. I think Hardman can step up now that he's the primary speed guy. Juju is an obvious upgrade and if we bring in a legit WR like Lockett or Landry we are actually in a good spot. I wouldn't call that a rebuild. Mahomes still has plenty of weapons and plenty of opportunity to land a good wr to round us out.

****ing brent virtch screwed the pooch on this one. Oh well, next man up I guess...

Wonder how Ju Ju feels now. Came here to win a SB and now this.

Well I think that we took the Dolphins deal because there must be someone the Chiefs really like in the first rd and maybe they package those 2 1st rd picks and another pick or two together and move up a few slots to get 'that guy'.

Stop using logic.

Hill wanted to be the highest paid WR. The Chiefs didn’t want to do that. They got the best offer they could for him and moved on. It’s not like teams were lining up to pay Hill that much. Just like teams weren’t lining up to pay Adams that much.

He happy! More passes to him. But the thing is he is not a real No.1 and this proved out once AB left Pittsburgh. But Pitt did not have a TK type TE so maybe he will produce as a No. 1.

Justin Jefferson participated in the entire Vikings offseason program and went on to play in all 16 games, starting 14.

I have no problems with a 1st round WR. It's Jameson Williams specifically that makes zero sense.

We just traded Tyreek ****ing Hill. He only have 2 WR's with NFL experience under contract.

Taking Williams so that he can redshirt would be a colossal mistake.

We would've heard of it by now if he did.

Sad to say you are smarter than many Chiefs fans.

I'm watching idiots completely melt down right now and say they are done with the Chiefs... lol

Well... You ****ers wanted to run the ball more... There you go...

Another reason why I'm surprised we only signed him for one year.

Obviously this will change, but do we currently have a single WR under contract past this season?

You mean like how we heard he was being shopped about 15 minutes before he was traded?

Sorry but I can't agree, not after today.

Do you think Hill would sit out so he could be fined $50k\day? I don't.

Relax..we have Andy still

I will miss Hill; however, he wanted more that we could pay and he got screwed on his last contract by his baby mama... I wanted the high first rounder for him but it wasn't on the table. Getting multiple picks is better than having him for another year and getting nothing but a comp pick.

They MIGHT have a down year. MIGHT!

I'll wait and see what BV and AR do before I throw in the towel. They got a haul for Hill and my money is on them keeping the team moving forward and at the top of the league. Just like they have been for several years.

Hill draws so much attention.

When you take him out everyone gets worse.

Hardman is a fun gadget player. That's it.

JuJu is a complimentary WR without an alpha in front of him.

That's what we need to find...it's possible but not easy at all.

Let's hope this turns into some really good players.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The argument for trading Tyreek Hill is the same as when the Royals dealt Zack Greinke in 2010: you&#39;re losing a Hall of Famer, but he didn&#39;t want to stay, you get a bunch of future talent, and you can re-deploy the money elsewhere.

Similar to my thoughts only the Royals didn’t really have a Mahomes or close to existing talent.

Not too surprising the way defenses now play Mahomes trying to take the deep ball away.

You keep saying this, but recent history says its as easy as its ever been.

Jameson tore his ACL in early January. Why are you talking about a redshirt year? Im not married to Jameson but he is the most explosive receiver in the draft with traits similar to Tyreek. We will see what direction they go.

Man i cant help but feel that had we known he wanted out a little sooner we may have got a little more.

Welp, thats what free agency gets you and unless you are great at picking gems out of trash piles consistently , there will be no more dynasties in the NFL. The Raiders have been horrible at it especially on defense over the years and the result is 20 years of suckage.

I wonder if our FO looked at hill as being detrimental to Mahomes development

Names then.

Since this is easy.

I'm sure they saw his financial demands as detrimental to the entire team, including Mahomes.

Flores was a fantastic coach...Miami had no business winning as many games as they did. I bet the Phins will be under .500 next season. Veach got the better deal. If the Jets weren't giving up their firsts then Miami was the smart play.

We also got like 3 more picks than we would've with NYJ as well.

Yep. WR is getting deeper and deeper every year. There's just so many spread offenses in college so they're churning out WR's like crazy.

I expected a bit higher 1st rounder but this has been something on my mind for sure. It's hard to give a WR that kind of money no matter how talented. The Chiefs have an opportunity.

29 and 62 can likely get the Chiefs to 18 and they'd still have 30 and 50. They can be mobile to get a guy and still be ok.

Tyreek can't hang with taller DBs.


Gonna miss him for sure but he had several tipped balls in his hands that gifted the DB a interception and that goes on Pats stats.

I wanna say **** Tyreek Hill but I'll always love him for helping us win a Championship and made us a feared offense. Well ~ Bye

I also wonder if Hill threw some huge fit in the second half of the AFCCG too.

Green Bay is in a similar situation as the Chiefs looking to draft an impact WR to replace their traded #1 WR.

They have the 22nd and 28th picks in the first round to work with.

The Chiefs have the 29th and 30th picks in the first round.

Also the Jets have a WR need and have two picks in the top 10.

The Chiefs are going to have serious competition if the plan is to trade up in the first round to draft Tyreek's replacement.

And if the plan is to replace him with a 2nd/3rd round or later draft pick... then, well... yikes.

That's what I'm thinking. Their going to have to move up to get him.

Bull ****ing shit. He would stay here if we paid him

Are you serious?

You can't name any hot, young talented WR's that've come out of the draft these last 5 years? When there's been guys literally every year.

Really?

That's a stupid question and not even worth my time.

Not a fan of this guy at all, but he's spot on here. Hell, they are all lottery tickets.

Chances are Jameson isn't ready to play until about halfway through the season but the bigger issue is that it's almost guaranteed he can't participate fully in offseason stuff.

We can't afford to draft guys high that won't contribute IMMEDIATELY. Taking Jameson was a bad idea before they traded Tyreek. Now it's a luxury they simply cannot afford at any cost.

Is it possible that it wasn't only the fans who were tiring of Mahomes wife and brother or strictly the gigantic paycheck?
I say the paycheck mostly.

That being said if people settle down they should see that the Chiefs flat out robbed the Dolphins. IMHO of course.

Sure, but the cap savings has to be considered. It has to. Because it too well net more players, potentially game changing ones.

Veach you always have a plan. With our OnLine last year people were like wtf but you always have a plan. In Veach we trust!!
