Same reason we didn't keep Charvarius Ward.

Sometimes you've gotta make tough decisions even if all the player in question is seeking is a 'fair' deal.

Ward wasn't overpaid by any stretch of the imagination. But we felt we could replace his production with scheme and/or cost controlled players. I think that's exactly the situation we find ourselves in with JJSS.

The Chiefs have taken shots at Cornell Powell, Jenny Chesson, Byron Pringle, Demarcus Robinson. None of those guys could fill the Sammy Watkins type role with any effectiveness.

It’s pretty obvious that we haven’t been able to fill Sammy’s shoes ever since he left.

I think Juju is capable of doing here what he did in Pittsburgh in 2019 next season as he gets a full offseason with Patrick.

Why wouldn't you want to plug Moore in there? Whats the issue with it?

Cut MVS, sign Watson to let him do the deep stuff that MVS does if you want.

There you go, cheap WR room.

It's the same situation with Thornhill at safety.

You drafted Cook and let him have a year of dipping his toe in.

Well, now it's time to insert him at safety next to Reid and roll forward.

Because the same folks that refuse to concede that Moore was a staggering disappointment this year are scared to actually rely on him next year.

Odd how that works out...

Go find a 3rd safety on the scrap heap. Doesn't seem like a real difficult spot to fill.

And that, friends, is why you don't use a 2nd round pick on one.

But I digress...

Nobody was expecting Watson to replace Ward. They were expecting McDuffie to do it and he did.

So now we're not talking about Powell or Chesson here - we're talking about Skyy Moore.

That's your backfill. You know more about him now than you knew about McDuffie when he took the field.

It's big boy pants time for Skyy. And JJSS is such a limited player who runs such basic routes, I see no reason why we couldn't put Moore in that role and get strong production if he's an NFL caliber receiver.
