Mahomes contract was already restructured this season.
Taylor would be a mistake if it extended his contract any or made it harder to get out of early if desired.
Maybe Thuney to keep him a couple more seasons? [Reply]

I have to imagine the clout from being a superstar is way more lucrative than playing for a bad team
It wasn't just a million or two. The Titans were willing to give him 2 years instead of just 1. [Reply]

DHop admitted in his presser today he hadn't played meaningful football in years....seemed to really be something he'd thought about.
I heard someone reporting from a Titans insider that last year the Tennessee staff was timing Hopkins and he was faster than ever.
MPH or whatever fancy gadgets they were using... [Reply]

lol, “If”
You’re hilarious. Hopkins will be WR1 by next week, if not by Sunday.
After watching the very snap by Amari last week, I figure Nuk will a least see 7-9 targets. Probably get his 1st TD this weekend, if not 2. [Reply]

Heard it was a GPS monitor. Heard it a few times last season. And there’s of course the tapes of him scoring from 40+ out a couple times last year. He still has some juice left [Reply]

Even if he was end of career Michael Thomas, Hopkins could run a slant over and over for 100 yards a game in this offense.
I do think you're right, he's going to surprise some people. [Reply]
I have always thought that JuJu was a depth signing. They Chiefs know exactly what he is, and he's just not able to be a high use player. He's more the "pull I case of emergency" guy than the "we're ok, JuJu can do it" guy.
I think Skyy going to the IR is a hug bonus, bring up another healthy WR and give them some reps. And thank God for Hardman. He can run all that horizontal crap Andy loves and say what you will but for the most part he's available and that's what the Chiefs need the most, [Reply]
