The important word your left out was four "cheap" players for years...Doinks wont have this ability until Wilson is 35...at that point he will be costing $45 mil+. KC will add two more next year.
This will allow the Chiefs to work the FA market...while the Horsefaces will have to settle for table scraps.
Taking Mac Jones would have put that franchise ahead of the curve...cheap QB for 5 years while retaining their top picks/players.
They sold out in hopes of maybe being beat in the WC round...that's their ceiling in a best-case scenario.
What is the threshold for the Wilson trade to be considered worth it? Not finishing last?...beating KC in the regular season?
It was a desperation move from a desperate franchise...their roster/coaching isnt strong enough to withstand losing that much capital then taking the mammoth cap hit from Wilson.
