Cap space can be created… not a hinderance. [Reply]

That term is thrown around way to much, apparently there are 14 franchise QB's these days.
Franchise QB has nothing to do with being the best in the division. [Reply]

If i had to pick between him going to the Ravens or Bills, yeah i'd rather he to Baltimore.
Allen throwing to Diggs, Kincaid and Hopkins would be a headache. [Reply]

And that's ultimately the question.
Would he want to come here as the #2 behind Kelce, Buffalo as the #2 behind Diggs or Baltimore where a #2 is throwing him the ball?
I think at this stage of the game his contract is really about setting him up for the NEXT contract, unless he finds some team willing to go long-term on him now. That doesn't seem terribly likely given the state of everyones caps this time of year.
So it's about the best opportunity for a premier platform season, no? Well he just saw what an inferior version of him would do in this offense with JJSS. That's a pretty good baseline for him to work from, no?
If he's looking to maximize his $$$ over the next 12 months, I agree - he's going somewhere else. If he's looking to max it out over the next 36 months? I think there's a pretty good argument to come to KC for the 2023 season. [Reply]

There's a lot of good QB's in the league right now. More than i can recall, ever. [Reply]
Considering if we dont get him he goes to a huge competitor: Bills, Chargers, Ravens and to a lesser extent Eagles. You have to make a strong play for him. Not only do you get a future HOF receiver but you keep him AWAY from a major competitor. [Reply]
If Burt could arrange the pitch on getting him for 1 year to set up for one last contract... there isn't anyone who would set him up better than Andy and Pat. [Reply]
It’ll be the bills or chiefs. Those are the two he hinted at in the video circulating a month or so ago. Just depends on how much veach thinks we need him. [Reply]
