Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

Not to bring Dorsey back into this, but what I loved about Dorsey's approach here was that he was a Ron Wolf 'roster layers' guy. He treated the draft as an opportunity to add talent EVERYWHERE and if that meant some of those guys were depth for a year or two - so be it? Depth will win you football games in this league and a lack of it will lose them.
Then for a couple years on Mahomes rookie deal we went away from that approach and just went on the attack for 3 years. But it's not sustainable at all.
So now we're getting back to building through layers. And that's the way you have to do it. And if that works and you get a new 'foundation' in place, you can then take another 2-3 attack years to try to put some top end on those layers.
This just seems like such a no-brainer to me. I just don't see how anyone can think this is the wrong path forward.
I agree with the approach of layers but if we're being honest about what set us back year was a series of mistakes made by Veach in the past. Poor drafting/Clark trade at the edge really sticks out [Reply]

Money isn't everything to every person and there's numerous examples of people turning down high paying jobs for a variety of reasons. [Reply]

You are not paying attention.. Cap space and picks.. [Reply]
Veach is really set for this draft. We can package our two new picks to get to the top 15. We can use our two firsts to get into the top 10. Or we could use the two new picks with our first and go all the way to a top 5 pick and get someone who is best at his position.
Or just stay pat and get four potentially solid players. [Reply]

I think the only argument for taking less is how much different is your life at $20m/year vs $25m/year. But I also think 0 taxes, loving the area, and the weather definitely factor in. Not sure he even gets to the playoffs with Tua but happy for the guy. Wish it had worked out but time to turn the page… [Reply]

Really? Cause I can live adequately on low income because I don't spend money on much. And I fail to see how an earning window of making 21m or 30m is do or die.
You'll never be able to convince me otherwise because I simply don't value things and money the same way others do. Plus there is always more opportunity if you work for it. I mean it's not as though football players never make another dollar again after they quit playing. [Reply]

I agree with this. Its not like this was his first big contract or he wasn't going to very wealthy anyway. Maybe KC should have signed him for longer a few years ago now that I think about it.
Mahomes left $ out there.
Kelce left money out there.
Hill went for the max $. Its certainly his right but again that comes with criticism as well from fans at times.
This reminds me of Pujols going to the Angels. Hopefully like with Pujols and the Cards its a blessing in disguise. [Reply]
