Yeah...the Chiefs are also back to back SB champs and have.....I dunno an infinite amount of rope to hang themselves with here?
They'll probably make a move....but if they don't they'll not be ran out of town. [Reply]

It sucks but the fact that they're still churning out offensive points and yards is pretty damn impressive.
Take away Henry, Flowers and whoever the 3rd option is in Balt.
Look around the league at teams who have the injuries we do and what would happen to them.
ANd yet we roll on.
Truth. Most all teams would be crippled. Regarding the Chiefs, it will work to a point. But it seems, with each passing week, we lose more. At some point they're going to need to add something. [Reply]

Oh shut the fuck up. We absolutely need a WR, but you don't get to play the "this isn't sustainable!" shit after you screamed the same exact thing the last 2 years only for them to go win a SB each time. Eat shit. [Reply]

Because all of a sudden there's quite a few more suitors currently than actual difference makers, the Chiefs are operating with the biggest disadvantage on the trade market currently with the assumption their picks will be at or near the end of each round, and they've already shown an unwillingness to meet/beat the price for one of the best options the market.

JFC
There's been 2 WRs traded, one of which was never coming to KC due to being on a divisional rivals teams. Not to mention the Chiefs have that Titans 3rd to help out with the obstacle of our projected draft position for a potential bidding war.
Again, stop with the fucking drama queen bullshit. It's absolutely amazing how bad you want the sky to be falling long before it's falling. [Reply]

They do have a couple advantages though. Panthers aren’t picking up the phone if Tampa Bay calls. Not sending a good player tkk on a division rival.
49ers are getting Jauan Jennings and Deebo back soon and Pearsall is now back making his debut against us, and should get more snaps as the weeks go on.

It does feel like we keep hearing stories about how we get beat by an inch on so many of our trade proposals. I’m not sore about any of these chances we lost but it is arguably a small blind spot of ours. And I don’t think it’s just because teams don’t want to trade with the chiefs. We probably need to buck the norm and just one time consider maybe high balling our offer. [Reply]

Hill led the league in receiving last year. He isn't anywhere off a cliff he just doesn't have a QB. [Reply]

I really wasn't too keen on sending a 3rd for Cooper, but that was because I'd assumed they'd do SOMETHING to get rid of Skyy Moore and raise the floor of the WR after he effectively got benched against the Chargers.
But no. Ross and Remigio still on the practice squad. MVS signing with the Saints. Toney presumably getting the call up now that Cooper is gone.
Moore in 2024 is one of the worst players rostered in football. He's fucking worthless, and it's pretty inexplicable to me that wasn't addressed over the bye, even if it was just bringing back someone ever so slightly less worthless while they still worked the phones to bring in a difference maker.

And I'm guessing the Bucs are close enough to Carolina that MAYBE the Panthers see them as someone they need to stay on the same competition cycle as.
If you're Carolina and you think you're building a young core, you presume the Bucs (with their older WR corps) are probably on the downslide and you try to convince yourself that all you need is for Young to get it together and you're golden.
I mean...you'd be wrong, but it's a little different than the Raiders/Chiefs where KC is clearly running a different race than LV.
Carolina may see TB as a contemporary still.
In either event, there's a lot of need out there. We're gonna need to get something done in the coming days or be left holding our dicks when the music stops. [Reply]
