It'll be a buyer's market for free-agent receivers

As for Dex... I think he gets something like 4 years, $12m.

Id be fine with Dex getting that. You might be right in that Dex might cost more than Hester, but not "that" much more if measured on an annual basis. All I'm saying is that keeping Dex might not be all that much more expensive than going in another direction. There's still upside there with many ways to use him.

I agree.

The ideal situation would be for the Chiefs to trade down and get more picks.

If they can't do that, then our ability to add talent in this year's draft is limited, and we're going to need Dex to return if we want to compete at the same level we did last year.

Best case scenario is that a QB falls to us that Cleveland wants, and they are scared Cincy will take him with the next pick.

How is that not getting it done?

Hope this helps

I really thought calling Manning smoke & mirrors would be the contested part. Catching the defense with 12 men on the field. Getting them to jump off sides so you get 3 downs to get 5 yards. You can take more down the field shots.
