So you really are essentially willing to trade Hill for Burns and call that a good move? I just cannot get there at all. Burns, in a better situation, is Marcus Davenport, IMO. That's a really nice player and a good guy to have. It's NOT a guy you gut your draft and then give a giant contract to.

Verderame talked about it in an article today, about the Toney trade. The Chiefs had 12 picks but didn't believe they'd have that many open roster spots so they were ok moving for him. Woudln't the same qualify here? |

You're getting a 2nd-tier player for a 1st-tier price tag. That would be an awful trade. |

The Toney deal, if anything, demonstrates how the Chiefs aren't just looking at this year in how they use their capital (surplus or otherwise).

I mean, take Burns for example. You'd have the 5th year option and a tag year. So 2.5 years of not cheap play by any means, but you aren't tied in to anything. |

The 5th year option and the tag for Burns are essentially cap neutral vs. what a LTC would be for the first two years. You ARE immediately paying him. There's just very little surplus value there.

When a player gets traded, especially for multiple high picks, they suddenly want to get paid. I wonder why that is?
