Who should we trade for if Rice is out?

So.... from where I sit:

- Mahomes with his best overall game of the season last night ~ more important than any receiver takeaways

- Worthy continues to be the legitimate deep threat the offense needs (should have had almost 90 yards in pass interference penalties alone)

- JuJu still has the juice to be Diet Rashee. His chemistry with Mahomes is real and we can get by with what he brings in that role when Mahomes is playing better.

- Watson is Watson, does the dirty work and usually good for one nice play per game.

- Kelce still has it. Load needs to be managed a little so he is ready for the 'yoffs, but he is going to be the key piece in the passing game still.

- Hardman is showing his value again with the gadgety stuff, way better than what Skyy was giving before losing his role.

...

All we need is another man beater. A WR who can beat teams that try to just man us up all game with doubles on Kelce and Worthy.

Insert Amari Cooper or Diontae Johnson. The exact type of WR they both are.

Yep. Not sure if Cleveland has given up on the season yet, but they should.

At this point Watson isn’t just collecting paychecks. He’s locker room poison. Which is a choice for a guy whose organization has stuck their neck out for him. It would be an unprecedented move but if I’m Cleveland, I start today on clearing as much room to pay Watson off as quickly as possible. Since I don’t think they have the out of his contract for misconduct as they think they have. Fire sale and collect a bunch of picks. Free up cap space. Build a young team to be ready as soon as Watson is paid off

I read somewhere that cooper has had about 50% of his passes off target. That is just bonkers. Awful even for a bad qb let alone a starting $250m qb

Sources: #Chiefs WR Rashee Rice underwent successful LCL surgery today with Dr. Cooper and will miss the remainder of the regular season. A full recovery is expected.

There was also a repair done to Rice’s hamstring tendon, and I’m told there was no structural damage or tears to… pic.twitter.com/pdGOCPWpT1

Miss the remainder of the regular season, you say?

Leaves the door open just enough.

Posted that in the other Rice thread. Really makes me feel better that we can get 1 back if Rice and Hollywood both have a shot to return for the playoffs. We'd be more than fine with even one of those guys IMO.

If nothing else, it’s still positive to hear that the damage wasn’t catastrophic.

Would’ve really sucked to have a Fisher or Schwartz injury here where we lost a guy that we might be counting on long term.

He's not a regular Cat

Need Kelce, JuJu, and Kareem to stay healthy in the long grind of these next 12 games.
