Doubling down. Bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off.

So, in non-Sammy pissing contest news, Veachy was reported in today's Athletic article as having 1st round grades on 23 players (up from 15 last year).
Likely a good prospect falls to us at 32. Also makes it a good year to trade Jones. |

Sammy won't be back with the Chiefs unless he restructures to a salary so low it would get him kicked out of the NFLPA.
I appreciate the hell out of the plays he made for us in the playoffs - I really do. He should never have to buy another drink/meal in KC for the rest of his life. But what he made last year is just way too much money for a guy with that type of production. It just is. We could find a guy in this draft to replace his production for 1/10th-1/20th of his salary. No way they're keeping both Sammy and Jones. |

Veach was the driving force that brought one of the best QBs in history to our team.

Are we really criticizing someone who delivered 14 catches for 288 yards on 16 targets in the postseason? God this reminds me of the double-downers who continued to criticize Johnny Cueto after the Royals won it all.
Playoff Sammy was our secret weapon. Sure DRob or Albert Wilson could have replicated his regular season production at bargain bin prices - but what King Carl, Scott Pioli, and previous bargain bin hunters never understood was that its much easier for bargain bin folks to rack up stats during 12 o clock regular season games against a 2-10 team. You would think after watching players like that perpetually disappear against elite talent in the playoffs we’d realize that, but yeah, it still isn’t happening. We had money to bring in elite production over the bargain bin - and we paid 16 million for Sammy to deliver at an elite #1 level when it counted the most - and he delivered. |

I'm okay with it but unlike many of the homers here I still view it as a mistake made by Veach. That said we won the SB and Veach is the youngest GM in the league. He'll learn from this. The signing is clearly not the end of the world. It worked out and I seriously doubt Veach will do that again.. We have Mahomes and one of the greatest offensive play designers, if not the greatest play designer ever in Reid. There's no need to overpay for a WR. |

You want to say he wasn’t worth it because of the regular season? Bad take IMO, but it’s not reeruned. To say we could’ve gotten someone cheaper to do the same thing Watkins has done in the postseason? Now THAT’S ****ing reeruned. |

Not even close, dude. Those are elite numbers, and they are going to get elite compensation. Remember how Albert Wilson would completely disappear in matchups like the playoff game against the Steelers and you/other Alex folks would say this was why opposing teams would be able to lock down Tyreek and would take Alex's options away? Sammy is paid to deliver in the games that Albert Wilson and even great receivers like Jeremy Maclin did not - and he's doing just that. |
