1. The acquisition cost is not bad. A pick around #100 in the draft, plus a sixth that is practically a seventh. For 3.5 seasons of a guy with unique traits who went 20th overall 18 months ago at a high-priced position.

KC isn't even on the hook for the full cost of his rookie deal. It's amazing value even if he is nothing more than the gadget guy replacement player.

2. When you look at how good he is at creating separation and think how that will fit in with guys like Kelce requiring a ton of attention, I think it's really hard to not get excited. If you leave Toney 1x1 without help on a corner, he's going to win more often than not. Oh, and throw in that the Chiefs coach is probably the best in NFL history at manufacturing separation... hoo boy.

3. It's not just jitterbug short stuff/manufactured touches, either. He's good at that stuff, but you watch his highlights and see a guy who tracks the ball well and can adjust downfield, and who is so sudden he's a nightmare on intermediate routes (and therefore can burn guys deep despite not having the craziest deep speed).

4. The maturity concerns are real. Betting on the locker room to fix.

5. I can't take anything away from him having a hard time getting along with coaching staffs put together and run by Belichick turds like Judge (a complete fraud who was in way over his head) or Daboll.

There's a lot of upside here, gang. Color Duncan excited.


I'm pretty pumped about this move.
