They are intentionally eating it now because they are creating the room to dump Kyler Murray next year.
Seems like a significant part of the puzzle here.
If he's collecting that from the Cards, he may not care nearly as much about what he's taxing his next team. That money is coming in regardless. [Reply]
As the Chiefs roster is right now, I would completely agree but -
Adding DeAndre Hopkins would increase the rostered WRs on the team. Who and where do you cut?
Adding DeAndre Hopkins is going to reduce the playing time for other WRs including MVS.
Where can you get the most Cap space by a trade from the WRs? According to overthecap.com, the Chiefs could get a $9M cap saving by trading MVS post June 1. I really don't know if a team would trade for MVS though and pay the $9M for the season.
I like MVS and think he adds value to the Chiefs.
I would love to add DeAndre Hopkins to the Chiefs WR group.
I really don't think that the Chiefs will trade MVS, but if they should sign Hopkins and younger WRs develop, it might be possible. [Reply]

Adding Hopkins does nothing but help clear up the bottom of the WR group. MVS has a specific spot in this offense as the deep threat. Trading him away opens that spot up and now who is taking it? Hopkins isn't that guy. Neither is Rice or Moore. Toney possibly could but you don't want to ask him to do that.
Before Hopkins: Toney, MVS, Moore, Rice, James and Watson.
After Hopkins: Hopkins, Toney, MVS, Moore, Rice and James. [Reply]
He'll be 31 at the start of the season. We have next to nothing in the piggy bank. Even if he came here on the cheap chasing a ring or trying for a long-term contract, how much would he be worth NEXT year and the following years? We also have 12 WRs on the roster today. Just for grins, let's see what those guys have to offer.

In short, thanks but no thanks.
Kelce is 34. According to your logic, we should've sent the greatest TE in history to the glue factory three years ago. [Reply]

Well then damn, they should have taken a fourth or even a third next year from us for Hop if they were going to fully eat the contract. I understand them not wanting to and trying to hold out for a better way, but it would have given them more draft capital especially if they were planning on tanking the entire time anyway. [Reply]

Sure...name all 12 without looking them up. You act like a 31 year old DHOP couldn't come in and help this offense. He most certainly can. [Reply]
