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.
“If you pay Tyreek then resources become limited. We looked at the older DE market but knew we couldn’t with Tyreek and how he would feel about that. Once FA started we realized if we pay Tyreek you’re limited in regards to resources being able to be spent on defense plus the future, so we took a step back and found that we can get better on both sides of the ball and Tyreek could get his contract.”
Translation: we can’t pay everyone insane money and the draft picks will give us flexibility.
Or basically what everyone has told King 500X
Cool. So what cap numbers were you working with for Tyreek when you were saying we should resign him? Must have been like 15mil huh [Reply]

And of course he's going to say that. :-) what else would he say? "Yeah, we could afford Tyreek and sign anyone else we wanted, just didn't feel like it". Of course he's going to make it seem like there was no other option. [Reply]

Frank Clark-$9 million dead money
Travis Kelce-$14.6 million
Joe Thuney-$22 million
Orlando Brown (highest paid LT projection)-$8 million

And yeah I get Patrick can restructure. Maybe Thuney too but you’ve still got over $100 million on just 7 players, 1 of which won’t be here.
Great plan dude. Also little draft picks. Yay!
When you were saying we should getting resign him, what numbers were you using? Cause all those other numbers were the same, when you were saying that. What changed?
And :-) @ You using the 31 cap number. C'mon now. [Reply]
