I'm fully aboard the Hughes train. Doesn't hurt that he'd likely be going against his former team (Buffalo) in the playoffs. Seems like guys find an extra bit of motivation in that scenario, even if the split wasn't acrimonious.

No, this was more recent. Last season or this one.

I don't get the trades that Chicago made. They traded Mack to the Chargers and Quinn to the Eagles. Both players that would have helped the Chiefs immensely. You would think that a GM that just got his chance from Kansas City would have been giving Veach first dibs on those guys. Maybe Veach just wasn't interested in trading for either of them. But I would think that surely he was. Especially getting Mack if for no other reason than to keep him from going to a division rival.

LMAO what?

If your GM is doing favors for other teams instead of only acting in the best interest of his current franchise, then he needs to be fired immediately.

Who says that he couldn't do both? Is a Chiefs draft pick worth less than an Eagles draft pick? I mean, teams have other teams that they work with more than others all over the league. It's not unreasonable to expect the Chiefs and Bears to be just such an example with the Ryan Poles connection

Poles job is to make the best decisions for the Bears and to get the best possible deal in any trade for the team he works for. Some made up loyalty he should have to Veach or the Chiefs should not play into it at all.

I think you all need to lay off jjchieffan, he was obviously saying....everything else equal(trade compensation) or very very close Poles should of worked something out with Veach.

Not hard to understand what jj was saying

The Chiefs have been the gold standard of the NFL since Patrick Mahomes became QB.

If offered a same-round pick by the Chiefs and the Eagles, you'd take the Eagles each and every day. The Chiefs have the least valuable draft pick in the league in terms of trade value and that's just a function of our success.

No one is doing anyone any favors.

With 99% confidence, I'm sure I said to trade him. Probably not the best idea, but of course things didn't look rosy on the outcome at the time either.

Why would you want the Chiefs to trade Jones? Literally, WTF?

Speaking of Poles he looks like he traded Quinn to the Eagles per NFL.com

I had to experience a level of stupid akin to the people who still want Kareem Hunt back on this team or to trade for every broke dick on the planet.

More or less, he was going to be insanely expensive on a team that was juggling contracts and I was convinced KC would get a haul for him, including the ability to end up in a position to draft Derrick Brown or Javon Kinlaw as well as add more to the D-Line in what looked like a loaded draft.

It's not that I didn't like him but I'm also of the opinion that the only player you ever consider untradable is a true franchise QB. In the end, it's a business and sometimes they gotta make business decisions. It's a big reason Tyreek isn't here, and Tyreek is special. I suggested trading him as well.

I wanted Jones traded because he has literally done nothing in the playoffs. I don't think that means he sucks it's just if he is so great why can't he impact a playoff game.

2 tfl, 9 pass defense, and zero sacks in 12 career playoff games.
