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.
Hmm? Well I'll hold back my judgement until I see exactly what's lined up on both sides of the ball, the first game of the season. I started looking at football from more of a business angle years ago and I don't get all choked up if a player, even a good player, gets traded. It's just business and we can't always keep every star on the team and expect dollars to pencil out. If Bart can hit some home runs on his draft picks to fill our numerous holes, we will be fine. One thing is for sure, this move is going to make the draft a lot more exciting. [Reply]
The same folks who are pissed we didn't keep Tyreek and pay him $30/yr are the same folks who bitch that we have Sorenson and Niemann as backups. If you want the latter to change, you can't pay the majority of your cap to 5 players... [Reply]

Mauling O-Line, and we couldn't get EB/Reid to run the ball with the 'Gals dropping 25 into coverage. And out last best hope for anything other than scrambling and chucking was Reid remembering how well 'Reek ran jet sweeps.

If you need to trade your 2nd best player in order to attack the secondary market, you're doing a bad job of managing shit.
I understand that we might not be able to get the big time FAs, but needing to trade Tyreek just so we can sign a bunch of Deon Bush's and what?...Jadeveon Clowney if we're lucky, just makes no sense to me. [Reply]

Not because they couldn't draft.
Yeah he was really happy with their shitty personnel moves :-)

Juju's contract is insanely cheap this year but that money counts against the cap next year. Now we're less in need of that immediate cap relief. We didn't win by getting JuJu on a 1yr 10.75mm deal. We would've won had we gotten him on a 3-year deal with that AAV. [Reply]
