Chris Jones extension is the ace up Veach's sleeve for sure. Mahomes has taken less than market as the leader of the offense. Would love to see Chris Jones expedite this extension to allow the DHop deal to get done.

I'm willing to look past all that for what he did against the Bengals in the championship game when he was the one guy that didn't get hurt at receiver in that game.

He's the vertical stretch guy. Kind of an integral piece to Andy's offensive scheme.



However, if we acquired DHop, that vertical stretch becomes less necessary. And not because Deandre would take over part of that role, because imo that would be a huge waste of his skillset/talent. But with a WR like Hopkins, you just don't need to create that much room underneath, so MVS' value would decrease slightly when Hopkins was on the field.

But overall, I'm on the side of trading MVS isn't a real option.

Hopkins - Back for a full season
Toney - Healthy all year
Moore - Takes a big step forward
Rice - Proves he's a dog out there
Tall-Ross - Returns to 1st round form
Fast-Ross - Andy squeezes the most out of him
James - Is a reliable pass catching option when called upon

^Optimal performance from this group could be pretty incredible!

Two things.

1. This just shows how much of a dumpster fire Arizona is. They are taking the cap hit AND getting no picks for him. That's what bad franchises do.

2. KC can't afford a bidding war for his services. If he is chasing the biggest paycheck, KC won't land him. If he wants to play for the best QB ever along with having a very real shot at winning a ring, KC is his best place. Other teams are good, like Buffalo, but under McDermott and Allen they have still never made an AFCCG, while KC has hosted five in a row and has been to three SBs in five years, while winning two and being the defending SB Champion.

That's a pretty critical modifier you slipped in there.

Unless you're Charles Goldman, you should probably give credit where credit is due for your post....complete plagiarism.

He was worth every single dollar for what he did in the AFCCG.

I meant to put quotes up but I'm fairly confident no one thought I wrote that lol

I think he's given plenty of signals that he wants to play here with Pat.

Hoping we can make it happen!

I did. Man, what a letdown! Went from thinking you were some kind of NFL cap management genius to realizing you’re a guy who struggles to craft posts on a vbulletin message board.

We do need to get through the regular season before we can worry about the playoffs.

Chris Jones is lobbying for dhop and can't imagine he'd do that if he felt it would eat into his contract. Have to think that if dhop signs, Jones extends almost immediately after, and that this will be the main way we free up the space to do it.

MVS is the deep threat, even when he's not catching balls, his presence is crucial to the offense.
[Reply]

Heres a stat line for you:

6 Rec, 116 Yards, 1 TD

We don't win the AFC Championship game without MVS stepping up the way he did. And that was partially due to him having to shift roles after injuries in the game. He HAD to be the guy and start filling JuJu's and Mecole's roles when they went down. And he was targeted more because he had to take on those roles, and he did well when he was asked to do it.

During the regular season his role was much more purely as deep threat. 492 of those yards were gained when our field position was before midfield. They didn't rely on him much for short yardage, hence less TDs (only 29 yards gained when we were in the redzone).

If you want to argue that he can't break the big bomb for the touchdown, sure I won't disagree. He is a deep threat that unfortunately tends to go down and can't break free, but acting like he isn't doing what Andy's scheming has him designed to do is intellectually dishonest.
