Because the Raiders over paid Davante Adams making him the highest paid WR, that made Tyreek want more money than Devante Adams. Soooo that set in motion our block buster trade and if we hit on our draft picks and beef up this D line and hit on a pass rusher and make this defense pretty good to great then we can thank the Raiders for this block buster trade that helped revamp our defense and make it better. 
All we got to do is beat the Raiders with our draft picks and they can thank themselves ha ha this would really stick it to the Raiders.
I didn't think I'd be happy trading away Tyreek but the possibilities we have now to really focus on building Championships through the draft this is where we will surpass the number of Lombardi trophies Denver and Raiders have they only have 3 we have 2 so if we can get two more or 3 we can thank the Raiders for our success.
We are building a dynasty through the draft folks. It's happening.
I'm tired of hearing that we won't have a dynasty when we still have Mahomes going into his prime. This is just now his prime years and he will still keep getting better and cerebral assassin teams.  |
It was almost impossible to fix the DL with the status quo. You aren't (likely) to get an impact DE at 30 and FA unless you overpay for aging players, arent getting one in FA. You need to draft, probably in the top 10-15 to get one. This gives them ammo to move up and get one and draft a WR on top of money in FA to address CB etc.
Additionally, this gives them leverage with Orlando Brown JR because the tag for LT isn't that good compared to what he'd make with a contract extension.
I was pissed this afternoon but I understand and think it was the right thing to do. I would have preferred 10 instead of 29 but it's still a good haul and the right thing for the future. Depending on how they approach the rest of the off-season, this could make them better THIS year as well as the future.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
