Maybe. But we had a good DL coach last year too.

Maybe some new voices will help.

It really would.

IDK where exactly this goes but LMAO

You guys are so full of shit LMAO

Man, you could have done these things, and have a year or two with Hill and these FA's- and you'd have a couple of cap hell years and have to gut it all. And what would that window look like? It hasn't been good enough for two seasons-and every other team in contention went all in too.

No, the smart thing was to sell high, reload, revamp, and make the changes now. The offense we'd been running had been countered. Everyone loaded up on edges to prevent the deep routes, 2 deep safeties to keep Hill from getting over the top, making him a different player anyway. Look at the drop in ypc. So we zig while everyone else zags.

You need to get over it. It was a logical move. You don't have to like it, but it's done, and the endless bitching is really tiresome.

This is my final word on this-and then I'll let it go, and you can whine all you want.

I never thought the haul in picks would be anywhere near what we got for Hill, to be honest.

I thought we'd maybe get a first and some change because of his contract demands. 4 picks in the first four rounds and a 6 make a HUGE impact in a team's influx of young, cost controlled talent.

I mean, having 8 picks in the first four rounds of an unusually deep draft is a real boon.

Coupled with other teams loading up to stop an offense that doesn't exist anymore and I like our chances of sustaining a contender for a long, long time moving forward.

Anyway. Bitch on.

The bolded is the best part. It's like the Chiefs pulled the 'ol switcheroo on them, made them spend a ton of money on a threat that no longer exists...meanwhile the Chiefs get to retool while remaining competitive if not dominant because of our QB and coach...this shit gets sweeter by the minute the more I think about it.

Yes, we'll miss Tyreek, but the Chiefs are not just gonna throw in the towel because he's gone. They will use this opportunity to stay a step ahead in the division, as much as they can anyway. It's a risk, sure, but I think ultimately this was the right thing to do for all involved.

Yeah, all of the rest of the division and the AFC contenders built themselves to beat WASP.

Now we'll throw an entirely different set of skillsets at them.

It's pretty cool. Ballsy move to bet on their scouting and coaching to be able to stay ahead of the curve.

1 draft pick in the top 60<3 in the top 50

You realize that the Chiefs would only have like 30 players on the roster right? As it stands now it’s 22 not counting the draft. The money and draft picks available will easily accommodate filling the other 23 spots.

You also realize Tyreek alone is like 40% of the cost of that freed up money yes? You also need probably around $8 million for a larger draft class as well. So that’s about $40 million alone with those two, basically half.

Then there’s Orlando Brown Jr who they want to get done this year. His cap hit will probably be at least $17 million in 2023

So that leaves you with only $24 million. Then you have your own FA’s. Juju, Thornhill, Hardman, Wylie, Bush, Fenton.

So your plan leaves us with only $24 million for our own players as well as any external.

Just one player like Christian Kirk is over $7 million cap hit year one. Any good players will cost money.

I’m sorry basic math is not your strong suit

It’s not basic math that isn’t his strong suit. It’s basic understanding.

You're talking to a guy who wanted to cut Clark and line up UDFA's at edge.

You made that post before the trade. Before the trade you thought that we had a bunch of ammo. Now suddenly it wasn't enough? Which is it?

And no, this was your plan and math. In your scenario, you not only resigned Hill, but you were able to fill out the defense and have a pretty decent depth chart. Guess you and everyone else had no idea what you were talking about in regards to the cap huh? Your own math showed 27mil in cap space even before the Tyreek deal and/or Mahomes restructure. Were you just pulling shit out of your ass?

Why do you keep forgetting about me saying I would draft a first round DE? How convenient?

And what were your plans to replace Clark? You were for it until we brought him back.

Yes I did think that. And then reality happened. We didn’t spend in FA, Mahomes didn’t restructure his contract again and we are still stuck with Frank but freed up a little money compared to what many of us thought was going to be a ton for a June 1st cap hit. I also didn’t realize we were really low on players in general, especially in 2023.

Then the entire division becomes significantly better. And then Christian Kirk broke the WR market for JAG’s which lead to Davante Adams breaking it open for highest paid and suddenly us thinking Tyreek was going to cost $25 million became $30 million.

So yeah. A lot of things have happened since that post to change the landscape of everything.

Because FACTS happened. I don't know why you don't understand that.

The difference between keeping Clark and cutting his is like $1.2m. You can't replace even his very pedestrian production for anywhere near that. And it makes cutting him next year if you want more palatable too.

You wanted to line up a rookie first rounder and a bunch of UDFA scrubs. That's a recipe for disaster. I don't know about you, but I'm really tired of watching the likes of Sorensen and Niemann taking meaningful snaps.

You wanted to restructure everyone and push all the money forward; and the bill comes due, ya know. Then you're screwed, and your stars walk and you've got nothing. Welcome to Seattle.

It's a matter of short term view vs. long term view.

And the short term view is: Look, it's been two years of not good enough. Why are we tripling down on this? Everyone else went all in and loaded up to beat WASP. Now THEY will all be forced to make difficult decisions a couple of years down the road, when we'll be cruising on a bunch of young talent.

The long view is that trading Hill gives us a real chance to BE that dynasty. Keeping Hill...probably not. We're already in diminishing returns. Not because Hill isn't great-but because we can't field enough quality players all around him. What's the point? There isn't one.

I was against it until I realized 1)just what a haul we'd get and 2)Just what keeping him was going to mean in the future.

this is the smart play.

Rip the band-aid off.
