Holy shit some of you are hard headed as ****.

Tyreek forced their hand. This obviously wasn’t their preference. They made the most out of a difficult situation.

Exactly. It’s hard to imagine paying him 30 a year. It sucks, but given the alternative of paying him I’m not sure what else they could have done.

I think if he had been visibly in the market for a trade we could have got more?

There is no upside to losing Tyreek Hill and I would say the very same thing if he was a Raider player. When you are a SB contender you cannot lose a player like this, when you are 25 players away from a SB like the Raiders were when they traded Mack you gotta let em go to get more talent

That dude has a bad fetish with shitty nebraska players

It is my second post yes. Chiefs have always been my 2nd favorite team back from the Christian Okoye days.

Plus I mean it. You could pick up AB for a song and a dance. He has proven to be good for one year.

Just because the news broke today doesn’t mean this hasn’t been in the works.

JFC

DaVante Adams' rookie season: 38 catches, 446 yards receiving, 3 TD's.
Cooper Kupp's rookie season: 62 catches, 869 yards receiving, 5 TD's.
Chris Godwin's rookie season: 34 catches, 525 yards receiving, 1 TD.

And Tyreek's rookie season... he started one game, the Chiefs had the luxury of using him as a gadget-type player and he had 61 catches, 593 yards receiving, 6 TD's.

That's the immediate production from middle round WR's you listed who eventually became #1 WR's.

If the plan is to draft a WR in the middle rounds to replace Tyreek... are you okay with patiently waiting for them develop in year one and relying on the likes of JuJu and Hardman?

That would definitely be a significant step backwards on offense next year.

What I would say to Mecole......

Time to step up, young man. It's now or never with the Chiefs.

This is the year for Hardman to earn a 2nd contract.

That Big 3 won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years, thanks in large part to their dominant defense.

The Chiefs were lucky to win 1, with their "show up 3 or 4 times in a season" defense. Sustained success involves an improved defense, not WRs making QB money.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

Had a friend say something like "Was this because of Bieniemy"

and Bolton!!!!!!!

I had been waiting for the subject come up and actually said on this forum that Hill must be pretty happy, he is not pouting on twitter or anything then BAM the shit hits the fan.

Give me a guy like Dotson or Burks at the end of the 1st. Or Pierce/Tolbert in the 2nd-3rd.

Cam Taylor Britt isn't a shitty player. Same build as Ward and faster.

I would cum if with got Olave and Obanajduudjdjo

Hill has been a great receiver for the Chiefs but as teams clamped down on the deep pass routes this season, their offensive scheme changed dramatically. I don't recall too many pure deep connections although there was the occasional broken play throws. A lot of Hills yards came on short passes where he broke loose. That may be the biggest minus in the move.

However, Mahomes and Reid will change the offense to maximize the short passing, move the chain, approach and accommodate more of Kelce and and the second tight end, Schuster in the slot, Hardman who has Tyreek's speed, and any WR they get in the draft or through FA. It will also put more options to use RB's out of the backfield in the passing game. Keep on eye on them drafting Breece Hall.

Hey this is a hit on the Chiefs but the league has adapted to their offense and they need to adjust too. It may not look the same but with Mahomes at QB, they'll figure it out. It's the defense that needs to make a big improvement to get them back to the SB anyway.

I'm dying to know how Mahomes feels about it.

An offense focused on 2 players was killing us. You can’t be too heavy in this league.

Tyreek + Kelce surrounded by pure garbage isn’t going to cut it
Jones + Clark surrounded by pure garbage isn’t going to cut it either

This is a great opportunity to open a window for the next 4 years. Imagine if Veach gets the following:

Sign Sammy and Ingram
Trade a 4th for Bradberry
Draft George Karlaftis, Jahan Dotson and Perrion Winfrey with our top 3 picks and still have a 2nd, 3rd and 4th?

You open the door for flexibility

Holy shit...and people thought the Broncos over paid for Wilson...at least he touches the ball every offensive play.

Odds that Chiefs and Phins put out a tweet in 9 days that says APRIL FOOOLS

I have to assume that he signed off on it. He gets the business aspect of this league and he was closer with Kelce.

OL is a big part of it too. If you are going to pick a special WR or really good OL, I will take the OL instead. Give the QB time to throw and he can make some plays. Best receiver in the world does not mean much if the OL is trash and the QB is getting killed.

Kelce is 32 but still putting up ridiculous numbers. Need a true #1

So now its Kelce surrounded by garbage.

Sammy Watkins? WTF?

Is Week 1 this weekend?

Why didn't we just make him play out his deal? Then let him walk at 29. We are WASTING Travis Kelce's likely last elite year at TE. I don't care if it pisses him off. Whats he gonna do sit out the entire year? Even if he sits out a bunch of games. so what, we have him for the playoffs.

We need to get really, really lucky in the draft to find a #1 WR.

You would think so reading this shit. These stupid mother****ers never learn.

A year ago they were shitting their pants because Veach released both Schwartz and Fisher. OH NOES!!!!!!

Tyreek gonna be playing “happiest year” by Jaymes Young in a few years looking back on his time in KC

There aren't many TE's that maintain their level of play from 33-36. The decline is happening very soon.

If he wasn't great friends with Kelce, I'd just trade him and reload but I'm sure that would piss Mahomes off.

The timeline looks very quick. I'm not bitching about it. Just commenting. No need to get salty.

It’s always the same ****ing morons.

So a 1st and a 2nd this year is somehow worse than a 3rd round comp pick next year?

If it was just about the money then that is BS sorry. He is a franchise cornerstone player in his prime so you pay him. If it is because they think he is declining or something behind the scenes then that would be different. We will hear soon enough I suppose.

Nobody is salty. Just use some common sense.

No ****ing shit. He WoUlDvE hElD oUt. Oh no, we would've gotten over half his cap back and had a rested Hill ready for the last stretch + playoffs.

You’re right. Let’s pay Tyreek QB money at 28 and then bitch in 2 years about how he’s not worth the $35 million cap hit, our cap is in trouble and posters like you are bitching bc we don’t sign any major free agents and have 1 pick in the top 60.

Btw Hill will absolutely NOT restructure. We approached him about that last year and he told us to **** off.

Chiefs fans never learn

Jesus Christ, why are people so obsessed with Brittney and Jackson? Tyreek doesn't care about that, he wanted money, plain and simple.

I'm more than willing to bash Veach if this trade looks like shit down the road, but we won't know what we have until camp starts and we're playing some football. I ****ing HATE losing a known quantity like Hill, but dude drug this out and then completely forced our hand. Shame on us for being in this spot, but this is the life of having a top 3 Franchise QB. The GM is constantly going to be juggling resources to keep the ship afloat....and competitive.

^^^

Exactly. Look how stupid trading Reek has made people.

You can’t spend 70+ MIL per year on just your QB and WR. It just doesn’t work that way.

Veach has a plan already. They tell Hill tough shit if they had nothing.

It's painfully obvious that it's hysterical reading these posts.

YOU USE YOUR COMMON SENSE!!

I guess the Chiefs will attempt to sign him

I might have to stick to the draft forum for a while…

Yes because you can easily and immediately replace arguably the most explosive WR in the NFL compared to replacing two brokedick tackles.

JFC, ROFL

Yep, GB agrees…

He can get ****ed. We don't need his ass here

Come home Sammy

This cast is still better than the 14-17 offense with Alex Smith and scrubs. Kelce still put up 1,000 yard years

Oh, **** that.........ROFL

I would take Watkins back in a heartbeat if he played more than 2 games a year.

**** that broke dick.

Ah yes. A year ago they were the cornerstones of the Offense!!!!!! and now it's two brokedick tackles LMAO

They're going to land another wide receiver and life will go on but keep sucking your own dick lmao

No, you can't just pay Tyreek Hill whatever he wants if that is going to absolutely cripple the roster going forward. That is not how team building in the NFL works.

As much as I like Kelce as a player full of talent and as many times he has ripped my heart out over the years, The one player I always feared as an opposing fan was Tyreek Hill , you never knew when he was going to bust the game wide ass open but you knew it was coming.

Nobody is saying that we’re going to have a day 1 bonafide stud at WR1.

But they could easily have a very young talented group after the draft, along with a lot more young talent on defense.

That's the problem with reacting to things like this. By the time the trade is formalized and we see the trade tweets it is history, old news. Breech and company are operating several steps ahead of us. We never see the whole picture until after the dust settles.

Common sense also says the Chiefs are sitting on cap money they can't use while tyreek is on his current contract. If they're trying to free up money there's a good chance they have some other moves in mind they can't make until that money is freed up.

An extension would have given us cap space too.

And cap space

On the cheap, and knows the system. Chiefs need anything they can get now, considering how everyone needs to pick up the slack

Yep

The math piece of this equation appears to be getting the best of several posters on here. Run the numbers and tell me how it was supposed to work with what Tyreek just got from the Dolphins

It'll be safe to come out some time before the draft. They're going to make a splash.

They always do.

If you don't somebody else can and will , I don't think anyone is worth the pay they are getting now but if anybody is worth it Hill is one of them.

I wonder how Dolphin fans are gonna feel watching Ty and Waddle run past defenses but noodle arm Tua can’t make the throw.

I've seen some dumb takes but this one has to be the dumbest. Just 100% wrong on all accounts.

and those teams tend to not have elite QB's. If anyone should know that well it's you.

He likely got 22 mil a year. The rest is all fluff. It's what most were expecting us to give him this off season.

I'm sure Veach has a plan that involves moves we haven't even thought about yet. This opens up so much going forward.

That said, this is really disappointing. All of our competitors took a step forward for this next season and we're almost certainly taking a step backwards. It's a tough pill to swallow even if it's necessary for longer-term sustainability.

Just not sure how anyone can really feel good about today.

When they were released they were broke dicks... no longer "cornerstones on the offense".

You are seriously comparing Tyreek Hill to the decrepit statuses of Fisher/Schwartz when they were released?

JFC LMAO

The Chiefs ran the numbers and came to this conclusion. This has clearly been in the works for a while judging by the set trades they had with the Jets and Dolphins.

Now to see what the Chiefs' plan is to address the WR position because they also surely have that as well.

Perhaps they told him and this is why he came...reports were that he wanted to be the 1.

sucks his body is taped together like some shitty 3rd grade arts and crafts project. sammy could have easily been a top 10 wr in the league.
